    Yo! I know you like cake so I made a car out of cake so you can eat while you drive.

    Is that how that one works? It's either that or I try to come up with some elaborate Hitler subtitle thing about how making cars look good on a ds is difficult and the woman crying can be upset that Yossarian was so rude about her fiancee's work... #needforspeednitro

    @ThursdayNext: @D-K, a burning sensation: Hey now! Come on you bunch of bleeding hearts...

    Every time this game got previewed on here it was lampooned as the most ridiculous example of how you royally screw up developing stuff for the Wii and DS.

    The game is an atrocity.

    I'm sure it isn't this particular artist's fault, I'm sure he just did what he was told, but really, this cake LOOKS like it is a car from the game.

    I submit an example for comparison.

    If you guys keep this up, Kotick is going to have his casual division bake cakes every time they release their next installment of Lumberjack mini-games so that you guys won't blast the games.

    @Yossarian: Oh...that screenshot is...interesting. For a second I thought the car was supposed to be in the air. I then realized it was just horribly done and it's simply on the ground :)
    Or is it supposed to be in the air? A game like NFS Nitro shouldn't make me think this hard!

    Unfortunately the cake went stale by the time those attending made the journey to the destination, with all left to do at the party was to go over receipts and spreadsheets to determine the costs of the remaining balloons and decorations.

    I'd have to agree- that cake is made of WIN- for a birthday cake!!! I get that gamers are passionate, and gamers also marry. :D (I, myself, plan to marry my hardcore gamer bf.) Anyway, I'm all for themes and stuff, but save the Mario for another occasion. Or, just mebbe, this was the Groom's Cake? Some weddings I have been to had one.

    Thats exactly how I got Professor Layton for the DS for $14.99. There was a bin of games that was $14.99, and there was 5 copies in it. I went back the next day, after looking online and seeing it was $30 everywhere, and there was only 1 copy left that I saw in that bin.


    I brought it to the register, and it rang up $35, and told the guy I saw it in the bin. He asked me to show him, and I did, and he started digging in the bin. He managed to find another copy of it in there, and said that was enough to give it to me for $15. He just wanted to make sure it wasn't a customer moving it, and when he found another one he was satisfied it was Best Buys error.

    i've never heard of Kidrobot Munny, but that's awesome that she got one of the creators themselves to do the figurines. i'm guessing she outsourced the cake, too, but if she didn't...i must eat of her sweet brainmeats to know her scrumptious ways.


    congrats!

    Not to be all "mine's gonna be better!" or anything, but while my upcoming wedding (3rd Sat in April) is going to be conventional in cake design by comparison, I'm going to have Rock Band setup as the primary music at the reception, which should be entertaining.


    Also, and I am being entirely serious, I had to talk the BRIDE out of getting married at the Star Trek Experience in Vegas, with a "klingon-style" ceremony :P

    I can confirm that Best Buy would do stuff like this. Way back in the days of the PS1, I got a strategy guide for the game Jade Cocoon. It rang up at $.01. That's right...a fucking penny. The cashier just said "Well, if that's what the computer says, that's what you pay."


    Unfortunately, since I don't carry change (ever), I'm pretty sure she had to break a dollar bill.

    that guide was pennied out then. I'm not entirely sure that best buy does this for a fact, but I know gamestop pennies out guide books almost every week. We don't get to take them home or give them to customers anymore. we've got to send them out for field destroy.
