Best of the Network this week

I’ve seen a lot of weird sh*t on the Internet. Yet, when Japanator posted the Tentacle Grape drink, I was really surprised. I still can’t believe that this is actually going to happen. I bet it tastes like stripper perfume. What do you think it will taste like … besides grape?

On Destructoid, we previewed the games of 2009. On Japanator, Zac Bentz picked the best Japanese albums of 2008. And on Tomopop, they picked the best toy of 2008.
