Your Enemy? Robot Ice Cream Truck

There are some really whacked out ideas in games. You know, crazy characters, insane levels. Ever wonder where they come from? Drunk people, apparently. Don't believe me? Game translator Matt Alt recalls when he was working on a difficult-to-localize PlayStation game:

During a late-night meeting with the game's director at the local izakaya pub, I half in jest suggested that we re-envision one of the enemy characters as a giant transforming ice cream truck. In robot form it'd have ice cream scoop hands, an ice cream cone head, an ice cream parlor awning "skirt," the works.

Latest by Shockdingo: Oh how awesome this would be, I can see it now. "Scoop-oor! Transform and soft serve!" Things this bizarre and awesome just don't make it into Western games enough. I mean who wouldn't laugh or have a huge WTF moment more »

New Final Fantasy Potion Dated

The Final Fantasy potion is back! This time it's bringing a supremely phallic bottle with it. Last March, game maker Square Enix and beverage company Suntory joined forces to release Final Fantasy potion, which was nothing more than a repackaged version of Suntory's health drinks in a blue bottle. This time around, a "Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Potion" will get a September 13th release. Priced at ¥3,980 (US $33), the elixir is limited to 77,777 sets and includes a booklet and a oh-so penetrating bottle. Believe it or not, but the drink actually contains dolomite! The eye-opening dildo bottle was first revealed at the Final Fantasy Party. And what's a party without the Final Fantasy potion? Hit the jump for a pic of the box.

Latest by Zombie_Moogle: I don't see what the problem is; You can drink it, save it as a collector's item, or use it for it's phallic abilities (Female friends enjoy gifts <3 ). It just seems so versitile to me more »

Neon Genesis Evangelion In Coffee Form

How popular is anime/manga Neon Genesis Evangelion? It's not only gotten a string of video game adaptations, a pachinko machine, but also a coffee branding. And the coffee branding wasn't once, but twice. Back in 1997, Japanese beverage company UCC released an Evangelion branded coffee. Once again, the company has slapped Evangelion on its popular milk coffee to help promote the upcoming anime out this summer. It doesn't taste different from regular UCC milk coffee (quite delicious in its own right!), but don't tell that to the folks who are snatching up cans. It's been regularly selling out since hitting vending machines. Brian Ashcraft More »

Latest by n/a: "Wiimbleden"... sounds like something Ren Hoek would say. But I'm glad they had that caption at that bottom to explain it. Otherwise just staring at the world "Wiimbleden" could drive a person mad. more »
