Impromptu Disbarment Parties Starting to Pop Up

While news of attorney Jack Thompson's disbarment today by the Supreme Court of Florida might have been unhappy news to some...one..., it certainly seems to have become a reason to celebrate for others.

For instance one game developer took it upon themselves to throw a little party to celebrate the day's news complete with cake, cookies and drinks. Yes cake. Right here on Kotaku. Surprised?

Know of any more of these going on? Send pics!

Delicious Cake

Eat Fahey's Tattoo

Even though I began at Kotaku maybe a little over four weeks ago, I think this is the day I am truly inaugurated, as I post my very first cake picture.

Moxie Girl tipped us off about this Final Fantasy Black Mage/White Mage cake. As I'm weak in the knees over buttercream, normally I'd find this very delicious, but now it just makes me think of Fahey's blood and arm hair.

I feel like a real part of the family now!

Japan Goes Bananas For New Banana Cake

Japan does not like portable caking. Japan freakin loves portable caking. Evidence: the launch last night of the latest portable cake sensation, which drew crowds of hundreds to stores across Akihabara for midnight openings. While it's already been available for years in chocolate and vanilla, and was relaunched last year as a limited edition sponge cake, the promise of a banana cake variation was just too much for the die-hard, with most stores selling out before they could satisfy the midnight crowd, let alone the fresh batch of campers who turned up before regular opening hours.

Pokemon Christmas Cake

This isn't just some random cake post. Oh, no. This is more. In Japan, cake with strawberries is typically eaten at Christmas. The name of this cake? Christmas cake. So clever! So, that's right, you are looking at a Pokémon Christmas cake. Gotta eat it all!

The Master Chief Cake

Kotakuite Brandi sends in this snap of a Master Chief helmet cake made for her husband Aaron's birthday. The cake was made by a local caterer and reportedly looked so good they didn't want to eat it. Once they dug in though, it was discovered that Master Chief actually has Rice Krispie treats for brains. Given his rather bland personality, this should come as a surprise to no one. More »

Portal T-Shirt: The Cake is a Lie

Even though I have written about it a lot, I'm still amazed at the amount of in-jokes, memes and products Portal has spawned. Add one more to the list as J!nx comes out with its own Portal "The cake is a lie" t-shirt. It even comes with their own special patented sassy explanatory paragraph:

Spoiler Alert: In general, anyone that promises free moist, delicious cake as a reward should not be trusted. Cake is never free, people. Who in their right mind would ever give cake away instead of hording it for themself? No sane person; that is the answer to that question. If you are thoroughly confused by this shirt, as many of you will surely be, Google is your friend.

The shirt comes in black in sizes SM-4XL. Prices range from $14.95 for the wee sizes to $17.95 for the big boys.

The cake is a lie Tee [J!nx]
[Thanks, David]

The Portal Cake Is Real...and Tasty!

Who said the cake was a lie? This user-created movie over on GameTrailers shows a real-life version of the Portal cake and it sure looks yummy. But is it tastier than the Companion Cube cake? It doesn't matter. Just watch the clip so you can hear Jonathan Coulton's great song from Portal yet again.

commentary

The Cake Goes To Portal's Commentary

The best part of Orange Box's Portal is, without a doubt, playing it. But the optional developer commentary comes in a close second. For those of you who've played the game but not taken the time to walk through the levels and click on the cleanly-interfaced word bubbles, we urge you to. Consider it the equivalent of a DVD commentary, but with the directors explaining how they subtly manipulated your perception instead of some actor's coke habit. You'll feel like the luckiest lab rat in town. But Portal got us wondering, why don't more games include commentaries? More »

The Weighted Companion Cube Cake

Ever since the release of The Orange Box, gamers have gone Companion Cube crazy. There have been wallpapers, a papercraft, myriad fan-art and even a home made plushie dedicated to the little heart adorned box. I suppose it was just a matter of time before someone made a Companion Cube cake and it looks like that time is now. Half-Life 2.net forum poster f1r3b4ll and his significant other baked this tasty treat after completing Portal n honor of the game that has spawned numerous internet memes within it's first couple weeks of existence. Bon appetit! More »

starting them young

The GTA San Andreas Cake

This is definitely the coolest (and I think only) GTA cake I have ever seen. I'm particularly fond of the copious use of knick-knacks on the cake like the tiny cars and the fake money. I'm a sucker for an overly decorated cake that uses lots of little toys. The only thing that's missing is some tiny hookers and some blood. It's a well done cake, but despite the subject matter it is a bit on par with something you might see coming out of the local grocery store with the pre-rendered photographic icing. Although, the use of this cake for a four year old's birthday seems highly questionable. Oh, and that sound you hear is the head of certain Florida lawyer exploding.
