We were a bit taken aback by Activision's choice of names for their new mini-game compilation, but Mama isn't surprised. After all, she dated Science Papa back when she was Cooking Single Woman.

"So you want some dirt on "Science Papa" to splash on your site? I'll shovel it. We dated briefly (when he had much better hair). And now he clearly wants a piece of the best-selling pie by associating himself with an incredibly successful, and I'll emphasize, happily married, woman. Frankly, he never appreciated my cooking and I grew weary of his tedious "experiments." You want real mind-bending science, go figure out how to make Toulouse Cassoulet for your next dinner party of 20 and let me know how it goes, Papa.

I'm no expert, but I'd say it could very well be on. Let's just hope Science Papa isn't even better than Mama at dishing dirt.

Along with losing the house, their stuff and even their pets, he also lost a treasure trove of Nintendo swag, like every Nintendo console (including a Virtual Boy) and around 250 games. His mum lost a Wii and a DS as well. You can see the remains of the Wii above, while the GBA below fared slightly better, in that it doesn't look like something that belongs in a Fallout 3 commercial.

Sucks the world is down one VIrtual Boy, but there's a silver lining in this storm cloud of a family tragedy: because the family didn't have insurance, Nintendo sent out new, replacement consoles in the form of a GBA and a Wii.

Do you want our respect? Do you want to start sounding like you're not some out of touch geezer who barely understands what a video game is? Let's hear you talk about an Atari game who's objective was to rape an indian woman in bondage [Custer's Revenge]. Or a Windows 98 game that had actual actors stage savage murders and marital rape [Phantasmagoria]. There are a ton of good choices. But ENOUGH with GTA. Or you can make pretend that gamers still give a shit about Hot Coffee, and we will continue glazing over your tired meanderings with a dead mule of a subject.

This is the closing argument from a post in which Destructoid schools congressmen, hysterics, Jack Thompson and your mom: Grand Theft Auto is not the end-all, be-all of horrifying video games. There are much, much worse. And we're not talking about Avoid the Noid.

Head over to Destructoid for a choice smattering of gameplay vids and screenshots from the most offensive games we can muster. And please, dear readers, do comment here and weigh in on your own bids for worst of the worst, nastiest of the nasty. Eliza gauger
