Wired's Game|Life drew my attention to the above trailer half an hour ago, and since watching it, I can't stop smiling, handing money to orphans and singing John Lennon's Imagine.

The game itself appears to be some kind of seal/amorphous blob raising sim, covered in a glossy sheen of sheer adorable. Between the ability to dress your tiny aquatic friend in wigs or anachronistic finery and staring into its beady eyes as you coo sweet promises of a life free from e-clubbings, I think it's safe to assume that this sort of thing is expressly designed to moisten the underoos of Japanese teenage girls (and a few of my female friends).

wow.

i think we're getting closer and closer to the day that society grinds to a halt because of something so immeasurably cute that people can't stop staring at it.

when that day comes, i'll be the one selling the blindfolds.

GIMME.

Actually, they look a lot like the Japanese Sanrio characters from San-X.

It's funny, the whole time i was watching that i was hoping they would get mercilessly chopped to pieces with a butcher knife just as a surprise for everyone. Kind like what happens to the happy tree friends a lot of the time

Well, the empty expressionless doll eyes were spot on, that's for sure.

And to any folks in the advertising or marketing departments that might be listening in here, I would like to spend a lot of money on adorable plush merchandise related to this game. A lot. Just saying.

LOL, that's exactly what I thought the first time around. Feels only mildly OK to not be the only one with ruler sodomy on the brain.
