E3 Madness!

Perhaps the saddest exhibit this year at E3 is a videogame version of Desperate Housewives. Apparently you sit around and talk shit about the other housewives? Well, I guess techincally here in the screenshot they're standing around. I bet the first development meeting went something like this:

"Okay. So Vivendi wants us to make a Desperate Housewives video game."

*groans*

"I know. But they've given us the money already. No, the president of the company signed off on it before leaving for some golf tournament somewhere. So. How are we going to make this happen?"

"Why don't we just, like, have some women standing around talking shit?"

"It'll be just like the TV show!"

"That's a horrible idea, John, but I can't think of anything else so we'll have to go with it. You start programming the 3d engine, make it look six years old like the original Sims. And then, uh. David? You can, uh. I don't know. Write some bitchy dialog."

"You know I'm no good at that crap!"

"Watch some episodes if you have to."

"Oh no! I have to watch the show to get ideas? I quit!"

How they ever got the game done, I don't know.

Also, on the E3 page, Tylenol has begun marketing itself as an EXTREME product.

Finally, a miracle product for the fat bastards who play so much they develop callouses and carpal tunnel? I guess sitting on your ass passes for extreme these days.
