BBspot has an online quiz that will tell you which classic arcade game you are most like.

Apparently I’m most like Joust which sucks just a little because I had to look the goddamn game up on Wikipedia. But on the other hand the game involves a knight riding an ostrich and kicking ass which is definitely a concept I can get behind.

What video-game-loving-pot-smoking nerd wouldn’t want a bong made out of one of his beloved controllers? This picture reminded me of this bit from Denis Leary’s 1992 album No Cure For Cancer.

Remember that friend in high school wanted to make bongs out of everything. Making bongs out of apples and oranges and shit? Come in one day and find your friend going, “Hey! Look man, I made a bong outta my head! Put the pot in this ear and take it outta this one! Good! Take a hit! *snort*” Then they got one of those big giant bongs that you gotta start up like a motorcycle. “Put the pot in!” *motor starting* Kids are driving their bongs down FDR Drive. “Pull the bong over man, I wanna do a hit. Pull it over!”

What was the problem with just smoking a joint, eating a couple of Twinkies, and going to sleep? Was that a problem? They say marijuana leads to other drugs. No it doesn’t, it leads to fucking carpentry. That’s the problem, folks. People getting high going, “Wow man, this box would make an excellent bong! *snort* This guy’s head would make an excellent bong! *snort*” Relax! That’s why I stopped doing drugs in the first place. Not because I didn’t like ‘em, but because I didn’t want to build anything, ok?

Put your credit cards away and quit looking for a link to the product page. At this point the Geekini is only a concept design from French designer John Nouanesing, but I do have to say that it’s a pretty kick ass concept. Who wouldn’t want to stumble across a hot lady, or even their own lady friend, rocking a bikini fashioned after a classic video game controller that most of us probably hold near and dear to our hearts.

Although I have no actual proof, I am pretty sure that up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Select, Start won’t actually get you laid. I also have a feeling that if you were to try the old Konami code on some unsuspecting girl you would probably end up receiving a wicked nut shot. Don’t fret thinking the designer forgot to include the “Start” and “Select” buttons. They are still in the middle just a little farther south. Hit the “Read More” link to check them out.

Every thing is more fun on Nintendo’s Wii… bowling, playing in a band or just rockin’ out by yourself, tennis, working out, watching your girlfriend workout… and now JV Games is trying to add Beer Pong to that list. The developer created a WiiWare game based on the drinking game that has the Connecticut Attorney General up in arms (probably because he sucks at beer pong).

Alcohol reference in a video game warrants a “Teen” rating, but the company has since removed the beer element and just called the game, “Pong Toss.” Probably a good idea, because we all know how hard it is to get drunk off of virtual beer…not to mention the hangover that comes with it the next morning!

The ESRB game rating board spokesperson suggests the attorney general mind his own business:

“Our concern is that a greater number of consumers (including the age group about which you are most concerned) will be made aware of this game and resolve to play it as a result of publicized statements of advocacy groups and others. Ironically, this is likely to result in more rather than less consumers being drawn to this game, particularly those very minors all of us seek to protect.”

Whoops… I guess we aren’t helping either. It’s just as well that kids start practicing their beer pong skills at an early age, they’ll be that much better off in college. Or after college. Or on the 4th of July, like when I dominated everyone at Diggles’ party with my pong skills. No big deal.
