3:00AM Brian Ashcraft | “They look cute,” says 20-something-year-old Takahiro Yamaguchi. “So cute.” He’s spent a good chunk of his day taking booth companion photos. “It’s not just how the girls look,” he explains, “but what they’re wearing. That’s what I’m taking pictures of.” More »

Warning: Producer of Metal Gear Solid touch *is* Female
8:00PM Kotaku US Edition | This week’s Famitsu has an interview with Hideo Kojima and Metal Gear Solid Touch producer Yasuyo Watanabe. The headline for the story is very careful to accentuate that Watanabe is female. How careful, you ask? More »
More Girlfriend + Team Fortress 2 Madness
1:00PM Logan Booker | Simon Cottee once again subjects his better-half to the rigours of Team Fortress 2, this time after the Heavy update. Laughter, silliness and high-pitched girly screams (mostly from me) await.

Girlfriend Plays Age of Conan, Wants Tiny Boobs
3:00PM Logan Booker | Simon Cottee has once again stuck his girlfriend in front of his PC, this time for a bash at Funcom’s MMO Age of Conan. I say “once again”, because Simon’s previously coaxed his lady to play Team Fortress 2 and Bioshock.
My choice of classic line: “Can you actually make her have small boobs?” No, Simon’s girlfriend, it’s Conan.

5:20AM Leigh Alexander | Girls, girls, girls. No, it’s not a Vegas review, it’s the target audience for EA’s Wii title Boogie SuperStar, which was announced yesterday. I swung by EA’s New York press event yesterday, too, where the game was on display, and I took a look at it. I’m presuming that very few of you reading this are young females between the ages of six and 12 who love to karaoke to Leona Lewis’ Bleeding Love, or dance to the best of Fergie and Good Charlotte. The songlist is intimidatingly marquee, though, and one of the major takeaways from having the game demoed for me was just how far games have forged in getting the music biz to recognise their power in helping label artists stay relevant to a new audience. And while Boogie SuperStar might not be a game specifically for you or for me, I think that’s pretty important – equally cool was the motion recognition tech. More »
Girlfriend Plays Bioshock, Says Funny Things
12:30PM Logan Booker | Simon over at Lava Level has again put his talkative girlfriend through another game and recorded the result. This time its 2K’s Bioshock. As you’d expect, there are a couple of great lines, including my favourite: “I know you’re a bad guy, because everyone in this game’s a bad guy”. Prophetic, no?
Just be careful Simon. This sort of thing is great the first few times, but it can lose its appeal if you overdo it. I think it’s great right now though.

Girlfriend Plays Team Fortress 2 For The First Time, Apologises For Owning
10:30AM Logan Booker | Girls play games. Of course they do! I know many people of the female persuasion who enjoy blasting with a shotgun or tank rushing noobs in C&C 3. They know exactly what they’re doing and how to do it.
But what if they don’t?
Take tipster Simon Cottee’s girlfriend, who was subjected to a rather long session of Valve’s Team Fortress 2. I imagine anyone who starts playing Team Fortress 2 without much knowledge of the game, or even games in general, would react in a similar way as Simon’s lady. But dudes just aren’t as cute or as funny as girls.
So press play and enjoy such classic lines as “How come I can’t go through doors?” and “What’s the point of being invisible if I can’t shoot you?” The best part? When she apologises for killing guys on the opposing team.
