No Two Cartoon Rabbits Are The Same (Except These Ones)

Just as massively multiplayer game Hello Kitty Online celebrates the character’s 36th birthday, a Dutch court ruled that a Hello Kitty friend is too similar to one of the country’s beloved characters, yanking the Kitty pal from store shelves.

We Won’t Mock You For Watching This New Hello Kitty Trailer

It’s cute, it’s pink and if you watch this trailer too many times, Hello Kitty might suck out your soul through your eyes. Not that I’m worried; she’s had my soul since 1986.

Hello Kitty’s Birthday Celebrated In HKO

While other MMO games are busy celebrating Halloween this weekend, Hello Kitty Online is getting ready for a celebration of a far greater calibre. Tomorrow marks the 34th Birthday of Kitty White, the big-headed icon we commonly refer to as Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty Online is preparing a birthday celebration fit for a character that’s been on more erasers than the words “I love you.” Festivities kick off tomorrow with a weekend-long birthday party, with KW herself appearing in-game, which I suppose we are supposed to be thankful for. “Gee, thanks for showing up at your own party.”

Hello Kitty And Friends Talk Hello Kitty Online

Seeing as I was once an unofficial spokesperson for the game, I thought it best if I present you with the first official trailer for Hello Kitty Online. As was expected, there is plenty of pink, an abundance of cute little mouthless critters than somehow manage to talk anyway, and fun for the whole family, whether they like it or not. I especially like the idea of Hello Kitty makeovers for all of the major cities in the world, though Tokyo seems a rather redundant choice.

Hello Kitty Online Detects No Sarcasm

Hello Kitty Online hopes to transport its players into a world of sweetness and light. A world without hate. A world without fear. A world, apparently, without a sense of sarcasm. This morning I was pointed towards the main page for Hello Kitty Online, which features a quote I swear I’ve read before. “Only one MMO could possibly release World of Warcraft’s death grip on the massively multiplayer gaming market – Hello Kitty Online”

*rubs his temples and sighs* I wish I could say it was taken out of context, but to someone who isn’t a regular reader of the site my quote does indeed sound like I am Captain Hello Kitty, Champion of the Kittyverse. And while I might secretly relish having such a title on my business cards, I feel I have to offer an explanation lest I start receiving Hello Kitty merchandise from all of my relatives on my birthday and Christmas – other than the toaster I already own, of course. Hello Kitty Online will probably not topple WoW, though 30,000 subscribed beta testers isn’t too shabby. If it does end up beating out Blizzard, ignore this post so I can say I called it. Thank you for the overwhelming response! [Hello Kitty Online - Thanks Brian]
