For the first time ever, videogame breasts weren’t all that hot. That’s probably a good thing, though. NOT SAFE FOR WORK BY THE WAY!

This is not strictly videogame-related, but it’s such an incrediblyfreaky storythat I’m sure you’ll all forgive a rather tenuous link. Unbelievable reports have come in claiming that every single 30GB Zune in the world spontaneously died at 2AM this morning and now refuses to work. According to the reports, the Zunes reset, powered back up and proceeded to freeze on the loading bar screen at roughly the same time. At the moment, no conventional means of resetting has worked....

Sometimes a gamer’s just gotta do what a gamer’s gotta do.

Those of you who are fans of theLegend of Zeldagames have probably already sold the necessary pints of blood or stolen the necessary dollars/pounds/Euros from your mother/father/significant other’s wallet/purse/marsupian pouch to purchase the game, but for those who need further encouragement in the form of an adorably exuberant British pixie of a woman, see the above clip:Play:Digital’sendearingly bizarrePhantom Hourglassreview. I’m not going to lie and say I don’t fetishize the entirety of the British Isles, but I’m not merely posting this clip because that woman’s accent makes me feel like a teenage girl sitting on a washing machine....

Take a good, hard look at the electronics section of your local brick and mortar store, and you’re likely to find that much like a Nintendo themed version of Groundhog Day, getting your hands on a Wii in time for Christmas is about as easy as it was this same time last year. Yes my friends, it appears that that Santa’s little elves may have let us down once again. Replace the word Santa with Nintendo, and I think you’ll get the point....

THQ needs some help deciding who to put on the cover of itsWWE 12Collector’s Edition, and it wants you to decide. The choices are down to The Rock and John Cena, the two wrestlers scheduled to compete at the main event of WrestleMania XXVIII next year. If you want to cast your vote, head over to Facebook to get your voice heard. So what’s in the Collector’s Edition? Oh, nobody knows....

One of the things I did with my interview with Tim Schafer was allow some community members to offer questions to ask the guy. I liked whatDaedHead8andKrowasked: How is Tim able to be so creative, and how does he get those creative juices flowing? After all, this is the the mind behind much ofThe Secret of Monkey Island,Full Throttle, andPsychonauts, as well asBrütal Legend. So, I asked him. Schafer offered his theory on how he remains creative, saying, “I always believe there’s, like, a goose in your head, and the goose either lays golden eggs, or it doesn’t....

Next Gen is reporting that Taco Bell (the non-profit Taco Bell Foundation, specifically) is offering a lifetime of free grub to anybody willing to pony up their PS3. The traded PS3 will be then passed along to the Stanton, CA Boys & Girls Club teen center.Aww. The first PS3 owner to contact the Taco Bell Foundation with their information will receive $12,500 in Taco Bell Bucks. Next Gen points out the cash-to-taco ratio of this deal in simple numbers:...

In just over two weeks, Nintendo will unveil its new home console at E3. While everyone else is musing over the true nature ofProject Cafe, I’d like to step back and reflect upon Nintendo’s current white wonder. There may be a handful of high-profile Wii titles likeSkyward SwordandDragon Quest Xon the horizon, but it’s safe to assume that the console is in its twilight hour. I’d say it deserves a proper sendoff before the changing of the guard....

Tecmo Koei has released a large bushel of new screenshots for its upcoming “western oriented” Warriors game,Legends of Troy. The theme for the gallery is “Blood & Conquest”, so expect to see some blood in these screens, and a little bit of conquest. The game’s out in North America on March 8, the same month asDynasty Warriors 7. It strikes me as bizarre that even Koei would release twoWarriorsgames in one month, despite the different goals for each one....

Anew Web siteforWarriors: Legends of Troyhas recently spewed itself up on the Internet, and while it currently only contains the E3 trailer, its blood-soaked frontpage gives gamers a very good idea of where this brand new chapter in Koei’sWarriorsseries is headed. Those who have played aDynasty Warriorsgame will note that, despite the endless hack n’ slash gameplay, there is not much hacking and slashing really going on. Limbs stay attached to torsos, blood is never spilled, and even the kills are counted as KO’s....

In less than an hour, at 8 PM EDT, boxing promoter extraordinaire Don King will launch his very own Web channel,DonKingTV.com. What does this have to do with videogames? Well, seeing as Mr. King will soon have hisvery own videogame, he and 2K Sports are collaborating to cross-promote both the Web site and the game,Don King Presents: Prizefighter(along with another 2K Sports game that’s been shunted into the giveaway on the side)....

Dear Christophe Gans, How are you doing? My name is Brad Rice, and I’m one of the writers here at Destructoid. Not only that, I’m also planning to go into the film industry once I’m out of college — and so I feel I have a vested interest in video game movies. So, for my weekly column “Weekend Reading,” I was hoping that I’d get the chance to get your attention regardingSilent Hill 2....
