Early footage of PSN game/content/filler/whatever Rat Race was supposed to be funny, but it isn’t. At all. And when jokes aren’t funny, there is only one thing to do: Blame the dude that wrote them. African American albino Victor Varnado (above) penned Race Rat, and he’s doing damage control:
Here’s what really happened. Some of the stuff that was leaked onto GameTrailers was some of the stuff meant for internal use, not something that was a finished product that would go out… That isn’t our best foot forward… We’ll make sure that what we put out next is something we’ve gone over and that we’re proud of.
Varnado actually is a gamer and has some programming experience. He’s also a standup comic. A really funny one at that. We’re willing to give it another chance, but damn, it better be good.

Excerpt from tonight’s conversation with my son:
Mini-Bash: (coloring in a coloring book) What happened to mommy’s penis? Me: Huh?! Mini-Bash: What happened to mommy’s penis? Me: Mommy doesn’t have a penis. She’s a girl. Girls don’t have them. Mini-Bash: Did it fall off? Me: She never had one. Mini-Bash: Did it fall off because she didn’t take good care of it?
Nope, not looking forward to the where-do-babies-come-from conversation in the least. NOT IN THE LEAST.

The episodic adventure on a console thing? Great idea! Everything else? Not so great. Awful, even. Or maybe even worse than that. This might be the worst thing ever, I don’t know, I’ll have to dig through the archives and check.
No Sam & Max, PS3 owners? No sweat. Super-Ego Games have just announced the previously-strongly-hinted-at Rat Race, an upcoming adventure game series for the PS3. On paper, it does everything Sam & Max does: it’s an adventure game, it’s “comedic”, it will be available in episodes. Only difference I can see is that Sam & Max was, you know. Funny. And charming. The teaser released for this game back in August was not charming. Wasn’t funny, either. If the earlier rumours hold true, expect there to be four episodes, with each clocking in at around 3 hours and costing you $US 5 (or $US 14 for all four).
