Surely by now you’ve seen how well a cat can perform when faced with Noby Noby Boy and a virtual piano on an iPad. But what about a Welsh Corgi? Brace for massive head tilting and pure canine cowardice.
As this gameplay clip from Dead to Rights: Retribution shows, more games need the option to sic your dog on the bad guys.
If I had 240 Microsoft points tomorrow, I would buy you a monkey. Haven’t you always wanted a monkey? The Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace pet shop opens tomorrow.
Have a dog that embarrasses easily? Still looking for a way to humiliate them this Halloween? This Katamari Damacy Prince costume may be just the ticket. I wish my dog were smaller, because I’d totally be ordering her one — and she thinks the height of humiliation is being forced to wear her light up, blinking reindeer horns during the Christmas season (little does she know what smaller dogs get forced to wear!). At a mere $US30 for a custom-made outfit, it’s certainly more reasonably priced than a lot of niche gamer gear — and oh-so-cute! The Etsy seller also has a few wee Nintendo controller necklaces for sale if you don’t have a canine gracing your daily life.
MTV Multiplayer tapped a number of industry folks to judge their latest stop on the road to their naming the Greatest Animal in the History of Video Games.
In January they named the greatest horse of videogamedom, Epona, from the Legend of Zelda series. This month they selected the best dog, PaRappa the Rapper, of course.
The judges this time around were Leigh Alexander, of Gamasutra and Sexy Videogameland, Tofuburger of I Can Has Cheezburger, Evan Wells of Naughty Dog, and myself…. of here.
Hit up the site to read everyone’s reasoning and their number two and three spots. I picked the dog in Duck Hunt and the zombie dogs of Resident Evil as my runners-up.
And The Award For Greatest Video Game Canine Goes To… [MTV Multiplayer]
A family in Loveland, Colorado took their dog in to see the vet after it had started coughing up blood, which according to several popular veterinary web sites is a pretty bad sign. An X-ray revealed a large mass in the dog’s stomach, which the family assumed was an old TV remote they’d been letting the pet chew on. Questionable taste in dog toys aside, the vet induced vomiting and bits of an old TV remote did come out, but only bits. There was something else in there… “The Vet started massaging the dogs belly and it just came flying out of the dog”, said Marie Becknell. I knew what it was right away by the colour and shape of it. It was my son’s video game remote. The dog had swallowed the boy’s Nintendo Wii remote controller.
This dog had swallowed an entire Wiimote. I know what you’re probably thinking. “Wow, that’s a pretty talented dog. Can I have its phone number?” No, that’s sick, and besides dogs can’t talk on the phone. I’ve tried. Probably just swallow the damn thing.
