Girlfriends & Companion Cubes

I feel blessed with my life, despite the stresses which ensue, one thing stands out - I have an amazing girlfriend. Yes this is a gushy post, but why not, it's nice to share a nice love story now and again and gamers are no exception.

Yesterday I was having a fairly lousy day, feeling out of sorts, without direction and unappreciated in my work, then the DHL man arrived with a small, square, light box addressed to my girlfriend. I messaged her at work to let her know and she said "open it". Inside was a plush Companion Cube for me. This small gesture turned my day around and I wanted to share it. I'm sure some of you have similar stories of gaming love?

If Mario were real...

...he would be one freaky looking dude. A clever artist known as pixeloo has done a couple of characters in 'real' form and one of them is Nintendo's Mario. We were so creeped out impressed by pixeloo we thought we'd share his work here, but be sure and visit the blog for the full story, including a creepy real Homer Simpson, who is actually more creepy than our little plumber Mario.

Hopefully pixeloo will do a few more famous gaming characters as real people, I'd love to see Jade from Beyond Good and Evil, I bet she wouldn't be nearly the cute babydyke if she had the Pixeloo treatment. Larger real Mario image after the jump, for those that dare.

God of War promo guff

Every now and again something appears here at LG HQ in the form of gaming promo and this week so far it's been a couple of games including God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP. What makes this particular promo guff stand out is the sheer beauty of it, so we've decided to share.

We'll be bringing you the lowdown on Chains of Olympus in the next episode of Gay Girls Who Game (episode 12), but for now here are some pics of the sexy promo for this game thanks to Sony. We're hoping the game won't be all macho crap, we'll let you know.

Weighted Companion Cube Plush

Oh good grief Valve why why why. Like I don't spend enough money on gaming already, you have to go and announce that those cute, nay, gorgeous plushie companion cubes are back in stock! Damn you Vital Apparatus Vent for delivering more damn youuuuuu.

Ahem... Well seriously, who hasn't played Portal and thought they wanted, nay, NEEDED their very own companion cube. Well now you can. The 6 inch by 6 inch cuddly cube will cost you thirty bucks USD and will no doubt sell out faster than GLaDOS will lie to your face, so be quick. Check them out HERE.

Lesbian Movie Characters in Video Games - Kim

With gaming news being a bit dead when it comes to actual lesbian content (and we can't take yet another Mass Effect post just now!), we at the LG turned our minds to movies. The movie in this instance is Better Than Chocolate and we got to think just how well Kim from Better Than Chocolate would cope in the video gaming world.

So join us as we take an amusing (we hope) look at the video game incarnation of Better Than Chocolate, with protagonist Kim, a brief levels rundown, peripheral character rundown and even a few choice quotes from the imagined game.

Doodle Hex DS & Wii – one to watch

Must be in one of those can’t resist cute game moods today since Doodle Hex totally grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. Didn’t spot any baby dykes in it, but Fey the goth from Camden, London is pretty cool with her pet goth rabbit Mort.

Tragnarion Studios has announced Doodle Hex will be coming out on the DS and they’re also working on a Wii version. This title is perfectly suited to both since it utilizes the idea of drawing hex shapes (runes) to cast spells. Doodle Hex releases in June for DS. You can check out more at the official Doodle Hex site.

Moon for Nintendo DS - by Renegade Kid

Nintendo DS isn't generally renowned for hard hitting, adult theme, psychological gaming, but developer Renegade Kid seem to think it's the perfect platform. They previously made Dementium the Ward for the DS, a title that gained an 'M' rating. Now Renegade Kid are back with another outing on DS, this one titled 'Moon'.

Moon previously had the working title 'Project M' and is a sci-fi, action-adventure on DS. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058. Researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base, but it’s a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch. Sounds a little like LOST, damn those hatches. Moon has no release dates as yet, but we'll let you know when they hit.

Pontiac G8 GT Spy Hunter advert - cool

Remember Spy Hunter, the cool arcade game released by Bally Midway back in 1983, then ported to all and sundry in the following years? It was an awesome game in which you drove a car vertically up the screen, blew baddies up, protected civilian vehicles and now and again turned into a boat.

It seems someone at the Pontiac advertising firm really has a soft spot for Spy Hunter, given the new advert for the Pontiac G8 GT. If you like cars, watch this ad, if you enjoyed Spy Hunter watch this ad, actually you know what.. just watch the damn ad, it's cool.
