E3 Activity Book: Fun With No Purpose
For those too young to attend E3 – which is to say, damn near all of us – B-Miggs and Agent B have cooked up their latest laugher: The E3 Activity Book for Kids, with its deadly accurate Nintendo presser mad libs.
There’s tons of fun in this 4-page pdf, which you can print out to leave a copy at the dentist’s office and confuse the hell out of everyone. Word searches (”BODY ODOR,” “NO SHOW” and “DENIS DYACK.”) booth babes and jokes, too. (”Why did the AAA exclusive game flop after years in development?” “It was released for PC?” Owwwwww …)
God, that cartoon of Reggie cracks me the hell up. Enjoy, courtesy of GameSpy.

@KainReborn: I can't figure out what IDEROMT is an anagram for.
I can't figure out 8 for the scrambling thing.
IDEROMT SD?
something DS, but what? I got the rest.
@bobtheduck: A shitty nightmare!
Eh? Eh? Eh?
@chaos_isnt_here: I am following you for that.
@OMG! Lightning!: I nearly hit my head on my desk laughing at the climactic finish.
@I jizzed in my pants like a boss on a boat: I thought the more obvious joke was that Scat Dream was sh**...
@curly haired boy: Honestly, it explains everything.

I've heard E3 does not smell nice. 8 person D&D group with a weekend stay in a 30 x 30 foot cabin type of smell.
OmnomnomPancake
shigeru looks like satoru without the glasses
@BarbeQueQ: Perhaps they mean a remake.
@Dark_Malice: More, please.

@Komrade Kayce - Soviet Attack Dog: What are you talking about? Scat Dream was a nightmare to play. Get it? Get it? ... Get it?
@Aikage: The Skilled Cleric Wants More L4D Friends: Yeah, for the N64 actually. They should had check before adding that to the list xP

9:00AM - Iwata has taken the stage! He's bragging about how money Nintendo made in Canada this year. On screen is a Wiimote to explain how big his company's shlong is. What an erotic intro!
9:30AM - Now to forget about some games. First up is the Wii jerk-off, and I already can't believe my privates. Nintendo fans are gonna thrust violently.
10:00AM- Now he pullet out a Wiimote to show how the non-game plays. Looks like the nerd meets the Wiimote and they proceed to have intercourse together. Cool?
10:30AM- Nintendo introduces Cammy! (s)He's waggling his(er) kids around in the air. The crowd yelled "Fuck off!" in amazement. Next is...
11:00AM- Breathing Trainer for the DS? Heavy smokers should be happy. Everyone at Nintendo just had an asthma attack on stage in an unethusiastic finish! See you next E3!

@Noob Kira: I see some potential in that very well crafted point you presented to us. Keep up the stellar work.

@Noob Kira: Good point.
BarbeQueQ
lol
@bigman88zz: we can rebuild him, we have the arts and crafts.
@catpeople79: IDEROMT SD = METROID DS
@izzy_k: nvm.. METROID DS
@catpeople79: OARPTL 2 = portal 2
not sure about the other one.. tiredom ds?
@catpeople79: Damnit, it's Portal 2.
catpeople79
@KainReborn: Killer Instinct 2 is one of the scrambles. Wasn't there already a sequel?
Aikage: The Skilled Cleric Wants More L4D Friends
What is the OARPTL 2? And the IDEROMT SD?
catpeople79
I could see Nintendo marketing coloring books filled with sales charts to children.
B33
@Sonira - I am old news.: Oh, thanks a lot. ...but it doesn't make much sense....killer instinct 2's been out for 13 years.
BarbeQueQ
@Antiterra: oh god. i lol'd. i shouldn't have, but i did. XD
curly haired boy
@Komrade Kayce - Soviet Attack Dog: mine too. its been long overdue for a sequel.
@BarbeQueQ: I just figured it out when I read your post- Killer Instinct 2.
@OMG! Lightning!: What a climactic finish.
lelikr nscntiti 2 - what's that?
BarbeQueQ
@bigman88zz:
I think you were right the first time.
Scat Dream 1 was one of my all time favourites.
@Michael Nelson: D'oh! I was trying to think of a game title. Cheers.
@bigman88zz: Oh, lame. That's not even a game.
KainReborn
@Pult|Ost - Dark Days Are Coming: That's because the real Reggie... IS A MII !!!
PC isn't to blame, just misuse of it. otherwise, good book.
cutechao999
@shanrulez: Colour of money. Confirmed! More Graphs and profit bragging at E3!
@KainReborn: CATERSAMD 2 = SCAT DREAM 2!!!!
nah, just kidding. its DREAMCAST 2
@fnool:
Dreamcast 2!
Michael Nelson
@KainReborn: NEW ZELDA
I feel stupid. >_>
KainReborn
@KainReborn: Wait, number three is GOLDENEYE REMAKE. Still can't get the other two.
KainReborn
@KainReborn: 1st is New Zelda
I can't figure out the following "dream game" jumbles:
EWN ZLADE
CATERSAMD 2
OEEEGDNLY KAREME
Any ideas?
KainReborn
great stuff. the joke of the booth babe and the E3 attendee was really good.
PunkyChipsAhoy
What the hell is CATERSAMD 2? I'm going insane trying to figure it out.
I love the weekend nonsense, thanks Owen.
And I agree, Reggie looks like a muppet.
chemical_eng_mx
@OMG! Lightning!: I can't stop laughing.
BarbeQueQ
that picture makes me wish that someone would make a muppet incarnation of reggie
@OMG! Lightning!: needed more boob...
@Pult|Ost - Dark Days Are Coming: Agreed.
I find it disturbing how accurate those little caricatures are even with their lack of features.
I wish I could do stuff like that...
"Nintendo introduces [irrelevant person]! He's waggling his [noun] around in the air."
9:00 AM - David Lee Curtis has taken the stage! He's bragging about how much money Nintendo made in Russia. On screen is a crotch to explain how big his company's lifelessness is. What a boring intro! 9:30 AM - Now to shit about some games. First up is Wii Yank, and I already can't believe my ass. Nintendo fans are going to murder Mario. 10:00 AM - Now he pulled out a PS3 to show how Lair plays. Looks like Cole meets Sackboy and they make love together. Cool? 10:30 AM - Nintendo introduces Brian Crecente! He's waggling his Zune around in the air. The crowd yelled "WE LOVE PIE" in amazement. Next is... 11:00 AM - War Trainer for the DS? Commies should be happy. Everyone at Nintendo just jizzed on stage in an climactic finish! See you next E3!
OMG! Lightning!
I saw this the other day and laughed. I would so print this out and complete the activities if I went to E3 and was waiting for a show to start. The stares generated alone would be well worth any humiliation.
To an individual seated nearby: "For mad libs give me a hand motion suggestion."
.........the guys on the cover are a bit creepy.... I feel like they'll haunt me now.
@shanrulez: my mistake *Iwata
Green Miyamoto?! IS THIS A SIGN?! LINK!!!! Proof of new Zelda at E3!
This actually looks entertaining... (grabs a pen and booze, will b back in five minutes...)
@Pult|Ost - Dark Days Are Coming: That was a cartoon!?!
The cartoon Reggie is eerily similar to the real deal.
@Last Face; Use a Green Shell like a man!: It's supposed to be Metroid DS, friend.
Presumably referring to a non-Prime title; almost as silly a mistake as Killer Instinct 2.
