    Child Gamer Indoctrination Kit Available Via Etsy

    All new parents worry about how their little angel is going to turn out. The world is full of temptation and wonder that you fear may elevate or corrupt them. They could be upstanding, particle physicist olympians who volunteer at homeless shelters, or end up living out of the back of a van scavenging for roadkill to feed their 34 illegitimate brats. (Note: those are the only two options open, according to recent census data)

    Worse, they might not like videogames.

    No, no, it's too horrible to contemplate. Luckily this Etsy store is selling the essential kit you need to turn a newborn into a hardcore gamer - a Space Invaders onesie/babygrow, joystick bib and concentration-improving hat.

    $5.99 plus shipping is a bargain, people. Remember - the children are our future.

    Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness Coming August 26th

    Load up on the flouride and check your blood sugar. Über-sweet farming/life simulator Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness has been confirmed for release on the Nintendo DS on August 26th.

    The latest DS outing for the franchise is said to be the biggest ever , with EVEN MORE huge-eyed chicks to marry and raise happy children with.

    It's all so.. beautiful. Sniff. That's it, I think I need to go and have a bit of a cry.

    To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Harvest Moon Games, pre orders can nab a plush chicken. Yes, you read that correctly.

    K.K. Slider for Reals

    Dogs are great — especially dogs with huge fake eyebrows that make them looks like video game characters. Somebody get this mutt a guitar! We have songs we'd love to request.

    Microsoft Confirms My Fear of Cannibalistic Pinatas

    I always love it when a game company can show a bit of a sense of humor about their own product. Kotakuite Zach sent in this screen grab from the most recent Xbox Flash email. A small poll asked players which survival horror they would be afraid of facing in real life. Slipped in between Dead Rising's zombies, and BioShock's Little Sisters were the colorful denizens of that most horrific of all games, Viva Pinata. If I had to pick off that list, I would definitely choose to fight a zombie horde or a slew of monsters before I would want to face even one of those horrifyingly cute, cannibalistic beasts. Something about paper animals that eat the candy innards of their fallen comrades is deeply disturbing. Like all those clowns coming out of that tiny car... absolutely terrifying.

    Animal Crossing Wii Hinted At

    I'm the type of guy who likes to sit through movie credits, ignoring the desperate pleas of whomever I am with as I scan for names, funny bits, and important messages about cutesy cartoon animal video games. I would have been in luck after watching the Japanese Animal Crossing movie.
    According to Nintendo-Inside.jp and the electronic version of Kyoto Shinbun after the credits have rolled on the new Animal Crossing a message comes up as follows:
    "Let's meet in Wii"

    Unless that's just a secret message from the projectionist about a truck stop rendezvous, I'd say that's confirmation that the Wii version is on the way. When? Where? How? No clue when, but probably not till the end of this year, beginning of next. Where? Japan, where it will sit for months while we in the states writhe in agony. How? Magic Animal Crossing pixies.

    Zelda: Four Swords Pixel Painting

    This is cute. As to the indelible artistic permanence of such a piece, we won't speak, but I'm strangely tempted to pay the $30 bucks the bidder wants for this Nintendo Zelda Four Swords Pixel Painting on eBay. I'm sure one of you guys will beat me to it though. Florian Eckhardt More »
