Scraps: 7/4/08 photo

We were thinking: we need a logo or an image that defines "scraps." After some brainstorming and a few 40-ounce bottles of King Cobra, it hit us -- leftovers!

So we put our resident artistic design monkey, Topher Cantler, to work and -- bam! Check out the new hotness. You'll know when you see the above image that you're in the right place to feast on all of the little scraps of videogame news that we have left over from the day. 

  • Australians don't like radioactive shrimp on their barbie: Has Fallout 3 been "banned" in Australia due to in-game drug use? [Gamespot]
  • Start your design engines, have your work appear in some future GRID downloadable content. [Codemasters]
  • Housewives and grandparents are about as smart as they're going to get, Nintendo not releasing any more "brain training" games. [MCV]
  • Denis Dyack digs deeper, calls out NeoGAF on 1UP podcast. [1UP]
  • Infinite Undiscovery will ship on two DVDs, still have a stupid name. [Gamekyo]
  • The PlayStation Store was updated yesterday, because that's what usually happens on Thursdays, which was yesterday. But here's a reminder. [PlayStation.Blog]
  • The 2D Mega Man is all the rage these days, but the blue bomber lives on in 3D in this Unreal Tournament III mod. [Siliconera]
  • Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg thinks people will stop playing with all of that baby s**t on the Wii and "graduate" to a real videogame console, the Xbox 360. [Gamasutra]

The Unreal Tournament Megaman Mod is for UT 2004, not III. Nobody cares about III enough to mod it.

That's a sweet new graphic, but now what are you going to do for your irreverent first couple paragraphs?

@Dexter;

I was about to wonder the same thing.
Topher is like a wizard. Maybe if I drink slurpees and play the Dreamcast a lot, I too can be like him!

Wait, what? I have to grow a beard? DAW

I'll graduate to a 360 when they stop being breaky pieces of crap.

And as for the Mega Man thing, yeah, it's cool, but it's not for UTIII. No-one on PC cares about UTIII enough to make mods for it. But don't tell Epic that. THey think the game failed because of piracy, not because it's crap that nobody asked for. I mean, hoverboards? No. We wanted epic Assault maps.

I was kind of enjoying the random header image thing. Now my life is ruined.

If Aus bans fallout 3, and NZ suffers for it, there will be hell to pay. I'm warning you, I just might cry like a girl and send some harshly worded emails.
