GAME Christmas Tinned Food Takes A Humorous Look At Gamers

GAME Christmas Tinned Food Takes A Humorous Look At Gamers Gamers are extremely simple people as they would be able to survive on Coke and pizza alone, or so that was what I experienced back in my college days, paying more attention to the PSOne and GBA compared to my books, without thinking too much about what I am going to eat later on. Food? What’s that? Well, the folks over at UK retailer GAME has come up with the Christmas Tinner, and before we continue, just let me make things clear that this was just done up in good humor, and is not a real product at all that you can find on store shelves.

GAME has described the Christmas Tinner as “the ultimate innovation for gamers who can’t tear themselves away from their new consoles and games on Christmas Day”, and the image that you see above depicts this delicious treat as containing all the classic ingredients of Yuletide dining into a single stack, cranberry sauce and the all-important Christmas pudding included. Forget about consuming different courses across a span of time when you could be on your way to complete a particular level or defeat that fiendish boss in the game, and just wolf down your Christmas dinner in a jiffy. So crazy, I wish it was true. How about you?

    Was the Half-Life 3 European Trademark Filing a Hoax?

    Half-Life is the game that put Valve on the map. The last full game in the franchise was Half-Life 2 way back in October 2007. Ever since that launch, fans have been clamoring for the next installment in the franchise – presumably called Half-Life 3. Recently, a trademark filing surfaced at a European trademark registration site leading to jubilation among fans.

    That filing put fans of the franchise in a tizzy thinking a new game was in the works. It turns out that the trademark filing was likely a hoax according to reports floating around the web. The original filing looked legitimate, but it is now nowhere to be found.

    There are a couple theories circulating explaining what has happened with one being that Valve is trying to hide the trademark approval now that it’s been given. That does make a lot of sense considering that Valve US has reportedly held the trademark on Half-Life 3 for a while. Another equally plausible theory is that the original filing was simply a hoax. If that’s the case, I like to believe there’s a special place in hell for whoever tricked us.

    Regardless of the state of the trademark, there’s a reasonable chance that Valve is working on the game for next-gen consoles – but they’ll only tell us when they’re good and ready,

    Teen Pranksters’ Facebook Trick Kid’s Mom into Believing He Was Dead

    Online hoaxes are a dime a dozen these days. A pretty cruel one recently made the news. It was in the form of a Facebook hoax that alarmed a mother and made her relatives think that her seven-year-old son had passed away.

    rip liddo honest
    However, the reality was that Javier Quintana was alive and kicking and standing right in front of her. Unfortunately, friends and family members didn’t know that and were devastated at the ‘news.’

    Pictures, videos, and stories about Javier were posted online on a Facebook memorial page that was dedicated to Javier. His mother Patricia was beyond angry and has since filed a report with the local police.

    Authorities looked into the matter and discovered that two teenagers were behind the whole thing. A 14-year-old girl was joking to a 13-year old boy about Javier’s death (which doesn’t sound like much of a joke), when the boy took things too far and created the memorial page. The girl asked him to take it down but by then, messages of grief were already pouring on the page.

    No charges have been filed, and Javier, who was confused about the whole fiasco, was quick to assure friends and family: “I am alive and I’m fine… I don’t know why they put it, but I just feel bad for that.”

    So guys, just avoid the whole mess and don’t make jokes about death because they really aren’t funny at all.

    Hoax Gone Bad: Man in Bigfoot Suit Gets Run Over

    This story should serve as a warning to all the fun-loving pranksters out there. While I have nothing against pranks, I do think it’s not a very wise thing to take things too far.

    The image above is actually of a soldier in a Ghillie suit. While some think that the suits make people look like Bigfoot, I certainly don’t, but maybe that opinion might change when it’s dark out.

    Anyway, a Montana jokester named Randy Lee Tenley donned a Ghillie suit recently so he can scare up some people by pretending to be Bigfoot. He allegedly darted out into the middle of the road (while roaring, I bet) – but his prank went horribly wrong when two cars hit him in the darkness of the night.

    Montana Highway Patrol Lt. Col. Butch Huseby told the Los Angeles Times: “What we know so far is that we had a couple of guys out, allegedly trying to prompt a sighting of Bigfoot. This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Really.”

    The incident is still under investigation though. And while our sympathies go out to Tenley’s family, let’s hope future pranksters will take this as a warning sign and not take the jokes too far.
