THQ working on an accessory, will hit in 2010 photo

THQ brass thinks a peripheral will give them a “competitive advantage.” In an article in the LA Business Journal (spotted by Kotaku), THQ chief executive Brian Farell teased an upcoming accessory to be debuted in 2010. He said it would be different than the junk in all of our closets and could give the publisher an edge.

“We have something that we think is different from anything else out there and will give us a competitive advantage,” Farrell told somebody, possibly a wall. “Beyond that, we can’t say much.”

Great. Because what we need right now is something else clotting our living room walkways. Let’s hope it’s a sledgehammer for the next Red Faction. We’d actually consider throwing away one of our three drum kits to make room for a plastic hammer of doom.

Nice picture. Is there an Olympic Testicle-Smashing Team? Those girls sure seem triumphant. Where's the coverage on that NBC??

Why stop there? My vote is for a life size Light Mech.

I'm going to go ahead and predict that it will be a Wiimote duct taped to a Segway which is balanced precariously on the Tony Hawk Ride skateboard and has a giant whammy bar jerry-rigged into its side.

Unless their new peripheral to give them this "competitive advantage" is some kind of interdimensional space that can store three guitars, a drum kit, and a balance board, i'm probably not interested...

They can handle MY peripheral any time. At the same time! Akimbo, such as in the peripheral of my vision.

GIGGITY!
