Pumbling Differences
11:40PM Brian Ashcraft | To: Crecente From: Bashcraft RE: A Reckoning Excerpt from tonight’s conversation with my son: Mini-Bash: (coloring in a coloring book) What happened to mommy’s penis? Me: Huh?! Mini-Bash: What happened to mommy’s penis? Me: Mommy doesn’t have a penis. She’s a girl. Girls don’t have them. Mini-Bash: Did it fall off? Me: She never had one. Mini-Bash: Did it fall off because she didn’t take good care of it? Nope, not looking forward to the where-do-babies-come-from conversation in the least. NOT IN THE LEAST.

11:30PM Luke Plunkett | They’d been quiet for so long we thought they’d gone. Gone and crashed into the side of a mountain. Eaten alive by a pack of hungry Argentinian footballers. But no! They were just on a between-seasons break. And now OneLifeLeft, Britain’s (Europe’s? The world’s?) most bearable gaming podcast, is back. Good times are back in style. More »

Are we that cruel? Probably not. We like Pumpkichu. We don’t! Too scary for our mild tastes. Kotaku Tower are sleeping with the lights on tonight, methinks, with all Pokemon merchandise stowed safely in the dungeon. More »So! We’re doing a bandage cosplay contest. …

Excuse Me, Your Replacement Halo 3 Discs Are Here
9:30PM Luke Plunkett | Show of hands who had their Halo 3 bonus disc all scratched up by the crummy tin box. One, two, three… OK, thousands of you. For those yet to see the surprisingly watchable documentary (no volleyball!) or, worse still, finish the fight, your two week wait is over. The replacement discs have started turning up at homes, and while the new soft, beige packaging might not be as easy on the eye as a dark metal tin, it has done a better job of delivering functioning game discs to your 360 console.
