Yes, I’ve gone Prinny crazy. I can’t help it though! Prinnys are just so damn adorable! Sure, they’ll blow up if you shake them around too hard, but how can you not find them cute? And yes, there really is a Prinny car.

Like many other outlets, Destructoid got a check for $200 forDante’s Inferno. Unlike other outlets though, we know how to have fun and we spent the money in style. Be sure to check out the epic video of Destructoid living large on $200.

Today, Anthony revealed his game calledRunner thathe made with the assistance of Ashley Davis and Jonathan Holmes. It’s a quick little download and won’t take too much time out of your day so go give it a try. As for the main image, I’m just reusing it again because only two people commented on how awesome it was and that’s nowhere near enough comments to satisfy my disgusting ego.

This week’s Jimquisition puts into audible words a problem I’ve been having lately, where people put on their Bitch Trousers whenever a game that looks evenslightlygood is revealed for the Wii. I explain why this attitude is silly, and why the Wii is important, all in my usual, polite manner. Also, huge thanks to Sam for my birthday present — a new microphone! Don’t tell him that I missed the cushioning I’d laid out for it when I tossed the thing at the end … he doesn’t need to know....

I’ll keep this short, because frankly, thepicturespeaks for itself. Clearly we have all been mislead: Nintendo isn’t trying to reach an older audience, they’re trying to reach non-humans! Now this is next-gen! Anyone willing to wager $5 on the fact that that Wiimote was covered in feces two minutes after that photo was taken? [ViaGoNintendo]

It’s done! The epic Nintendo dramaThere Will Be Brawlhas debuted its final episode over atThe Escapistand concluded the ten part series. Usually Hamza would be bringing you this news, but you’re getting me instead. Hopefully we can all move past my lack of sharkness. In case you’ve forgotten Mario has amassed an army, Luigi is after Ganon, Princess Peach is still missing, and Olimar has completely lost it. If you’ve been keeping up with the story all is revealed in the conclusion....

In many ways, THQ’s Gamer’s Day that took place last night at San Francisco’s Terra nightclub remind me a bit of the “old” E3. I’m talking about cramming too many people into a cramped space, lining them up to play games they couldn’t hear, and having developers yell at them about various features of said games. It’s not necessarily the best way to have a handful of gaming journalists experience some of your games for the first time....

A few months back, I had lunch with a games retail buyer. We went to this great Mexican place and he recommended the Diablo Shrimp. Sh*t was so spicy that it made me cry like a little bitch. It was during this lunch that this buyer ran a question by me: What would you think about a used games vending machine? Just stick in a plain disc and get back either money or credit for another game from within the machine....

No developer sets out to make a bad game. And Treyarch’sCall of Dutygames haven’t beenbadper se; 2008’sWorld at Warwas well received, but it didn’t garner the same critical acclaim as Infinity Ward’sCall of Dutytitles. At a recent preview event forCall of Duty: Black Ops, I asked Treyarch’s community manager, Josh Olin, about the studio’s unfortunate (and perhaps undeserved) reputation as the red-headed step-child of theCall of Dutyfranchise. I wondered if the team sawBlack Opsas their chance to say, ‘Hey, we can do just as good of a game as Infinity Ward!...

Trying to create noise from the deafening silence following the announcement ofBloody Good Time, Ubisoft has revealedOutland, an upcoming platformer adventure inspired by games likePrince of Persia… andIkaruga. Here’s the official line on this one: “Outlandputs players in the middle of a world of balance and chaos where their efforts allow them to bridge the ancient divide, or doom the world to destruction. Each player’s adventure will take them between light and darkness and force them to adapt to an ever-changing world....

It seems almost silly to think that publishers avoid this part of the year like the plague. While most major games look forward to November, Rockstar is cleaning up withRed Dead Redemption, and it’s enjoying its third week at the top of the UK Chart. Nothing much of note happened this week.The Sims 3: Ambitionsdebuted at number six whileRooms: The Main Buildingcame in at number twelve, but you don’t care about either of those....
