Bigger one

Haha! No, you sounded sad if anything. It's all in fun :)

I hadn't realised this would carry quite so much of a sting. I am sorry for disparaging the Twinkie*. I just wanted to use the phrase "margarine and coins" really, because it made the Americans laugh when they made me eat Twinkies.

But I was counting on this child labour to make Half Life 3! :(

Haha :P

Benefit of the doubt bestowed.

I'm not sure equating "real gamers" with "spoiled doughy masturbators" was quite the image you were going for here

Yeah. Plus, I'm pretty sure this guy is being set up to be the Forever Alone gamer bro - maybe holding up a mirror to a chunk of the audience, to make them the target of some of the jokes?

If you want a much higher res sample image, here it is (tinyurled so that it doesn't get automatically embedded) http://tinyurl.com/onjrclz

Definitely Fruntalot. Apparently it was there in IV too http://gta.wikia.com/Fruntalot

I reckon it's "Fruntalot", since he looks like the kind of suburban kid who would try and act like he's hard.

Penny Arcade, musing about saying stupid offensive shit online that gets you in trouble. Yes lads, all that time ago. It's the first time they've ever made me laugh.

Ah, I see. I hope the new board has a better approach.

Past all the fat and sugar, there's this weird metallic gassy thing going on back there. Every Twinkie is haunted by the ghost of its own factory, I swear.

I don't think the return of a company that screwed its workers and made a joke of union negotiations is anything to celebrate, really.

Honey, I know that. But the pathologist in the story is suggesting the knife was placed there after her death, in which case the whole account about a sex game is called into question.

Unless...

Even if Saints Row overtook GTA in sales one day, it still wouldn't be the news media's pet video game problem child because it just doesn't sound as good. Newsreaders must love every opportunity to say it, and you don't want to have to wait around for a real car theft for an excuse. "Grand Theft Auto". Fantastic.

I like Jezebel and its community. I find the reliance on anger-stirring evo psych studies frustrating, and the science reporting is often terrible too, but overall I like Jez and io9 best out of all the Gawker sites for both the content and the user comments.
