Coming soon: Matt C Anime Statues

 

[onegoodlogan]

I'm waiting for the Matt Cassaminassaloopagoop anime statue.

I hear he comes with a DVD of Halo DS footage.

EDIT: Solar P. you are a mother fucker! That's what I get for making sure I spelled Matt's name right.

[rakka]

Drawings are better than the real thing

edit: and chobot is ugly

 

[USD]

Looks like ass.

 

[Costanza]

seriously? :lol

 

[Xater]

Why?

 

[PowerSmell]

Looks like Udon are doing the art. It looks fantastic.

 

[alistairw]

Oh, for fuck's sake. Anyone buying this shit is a bad person and should feel bad.

 

[Cold-Steel]

Well, she is hot.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

How tragic. Mind you, what's even more tragic is that there will be members of GAF ready to eat this up & already drooling at the prospect of Jade Raymond statuettes...

 

[Ceb]

Pathetic.

 

[Lostconfused]

Free year of insider if you buy one...honestly i just don't even know what ign jokes to make anymore.

 

[onegoodlogan]

Looks like Udon are doing the art. It looks fantastic.

Udon draws a nice tramp stamp, I guess.



Personally what I'm really waiting for is the line branching out to other forms of journalism. I've already got money set aside to pre-order Diane Sawyer VS. the Tentacle Beast.

Spoiler

BEAT ME TO THAT JOKE, FUCKERS.

 

[john tv]

Forget Chobot, I want an Anoop statue. They making one of those?

 

[The Faceless Master]

the fuck?

took the words right out of my mouth

 

[Aaron]

I want a talking Dave Halverson who responds with "Ten out of ten!" and "Best game ever!" whenever you mention any game title.

 

[Cold-Steel]

This thread is going off topic fast.

Better save it...

 

[Fowler]

I'm waiting for the Matt Cassamina anime statue.

I hear he comes with a DVD of Halo DS footage.

EDIT: Solar P. you are a mother fucker! That's what I get for making sure I spelled Matt's name right.

Except... you didn't spell his name right

 

[Visualante]

Cliffyb will have these all over his desk.

 

[rakka]

Except... you didn't spell his name right

no one does

 

[Aegus]

"It's not anime if it isn't animated"

 

[onegoodlogan]

Except... you didn't spell his name right

Well, it's more right than "C."
And Google says it's right. Google is law.

 

[brandonh83]

She's nice in the face and has a great body, but... just no :lol

 

[drohne]

did i fall asleep after i had that leftover pizza? is this one of those incoherent gaf dreams i sometimes have, where i'm reading threads that make no fucking sense at all?

 

[donkey show]

BRING ON THE PERRIN STATUES NOW!!!

 

[thetrin]

This reminds me...we need GAF statues, of all the prominent posters.

Each one has a stand with a speaker and a button on it. When you press the button, they say one of their famous posts!

 

[rakka]

BRING ON THE PERRIN STATUES NOW!!!

Fuck yes, hottest woman alive

 

[Burger]

She really has those slapper bum antlers on her arse ?

 

[Infernal Monkey]

IGN: GUYS, WE HAVE A FEMALE ON STAFF.

 

[rockman zx]

What kind of people are going to buy this?.

Videogame figures---ok
Wrestling figures-----ok
Star Wars figures----ok

WTF, is a videogame journalist!!!

 

[Polari]

In related news, games industry still some way from respectability.

 

[Vinterbird]

So... When is the Luke Smith anime statues coming?

 

[Fowler]

Well, it's more right than "C."
And Google says it's right. Google is law.

Wikipedia sez:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Casamassina

Casamassina is currently best known for insisting that a playable Nintendo DS version of Halo was developed by Microsoft. He has promised he would present irrefutable evidence of the game's existence in a future story at IGN.

 

[Xater]

So... When is the Luke Smith anime statues coming?

I want my Mangod statue first!

WTF, is a videogame journalist!!!

I'm one of the first to stand up for the fact that there is actual journalism in the games industry, but seriously...she's so far from that it's not funny. Calling her a hack would be insulting to actual hacks.

 

[solarplexus]

I think Itagaki-San will buy one

Anyone remember?

Jessica: Is there any way I could be an unlockable character in the next Dead or Alive?

Itagaki: You? Oh, OK!

(....Chobot freaks out, excited...)

Jessica: Really??!?

Itagaki: First, we're going to have to have a lot of "experiences" together.

Jessica: You're naughty.

He's part of McFarlane's Halo 3 line, it's just a new head on the Brute body though.

Yeah, that more or less proves my point.

PROTIP: Journalists aren't supposed to say "You're naughty".
