Andrew Ryan Was Time’s Person Of The Year? Who Knew?

2:40PM Michael McWhertor | Poor old BioShock didn’t get GOTY love from those who call Kotaku Tower their home, but the game’s disembodied presence Andrew Ryan was Time’s Person of the Year in 1969. That is, according to Something Awful’s recent Photoshop Phriday that called for a suitable replacement following Vladimir Putin taking the 2007 “honour.” The real winner of Time’s POTY were “Middle Americans.” A handful of other video game characters also “won” in the contest’s other entries, the kind of folks who are generally associated with this year’s “best of” awards. The water damage on the cover is a nice touch, but an era appropriate Time cover would have been even better. Time Magazine’s Person of the Year [Something Awful] More »

BioShock Propaganda Goes to the Grocery Store

12:00AM Flynn De Marco | Sometimes you see a Photoshop fake that is SO good you just wish it was real. Such is the case with this genius and extremely well executed pic from SomethingAwful. Having just re-played through the first few hours of BioShock again in an effort to show my friend how beautiful the game is, I got to see the whole Andrew Ryan speech on Rapture over again. It always made me laugh with its little slideshow presentation and self aggrandising rhetoric. So I had a good laugh over this little image that a friend of mine emailed me and thought I would share it with other BioShock fans. I don’t care how crappy or far away the store was, if they had this on their shopping carts I would find an excuse to shop there every day. More »

New Playstation Store, Ala Photoshop

11:00AM Logan Booker | Either this guy is incredibly passionate about his PS Store experience… or he has way too much time on his hands. Way too much. Whatever you believe, a user by the name of “cruzader” on PS3Forums spent at least a couple of hours ignoring his chores and doing Sony’s work for it, by designing a new PS Store in Photoshop. Visit the thread, see what you think. Personally, it’s not something I’d use. But then, I don’t use the current PS Store (and probably never will). Update: Sigh… do people go looking for this stuff? It seems as though someone interpreted my last comment as an insult against Sony. Which it wasn’t. I don’t use Xbox Live, or any online console service for that matter. It’s not that I don’t like them, or have some irrational hate of Microsoft or Sony, I just don’t have any need for them. I’m sure they’re great.
