Those of you who have been reading Destructoid for the past year will know of my struggle with Southpeak and its insistence upon releasing nothing but X-Blades screenshots wihile giving me little else to go on. In fact, earlier today I lamented about how my pleas for a cease-fire were ignored.
Now Southpeak is sending them to me personally, followed by a deluge of smiley faces, heart emoticons and LOLs. This has gone beyond.
This afternoon I got an IM from Aubrey, the product manager of X-Blades, who started sending me fresh game images via instant messenger, just to torment me. Nick Chester also informs me he’s heard promises of personally delivered screens as well.
Southpeak sent me a link to a page of over 50 X-Blades images. This publisher is a Xenomorph. You cannot reason with it. You cannot hope to stop it. I have tried begging, pleading, even threatening, and the screenshots won’t ever stop. I’m afraid to close my eyes. I’m afraid to open them. I have taken up drink, drugs and prostitutes as a way of dealing with this stress, but there is no dealing. There is only death in my future. That is my only escape.
I just want to stop looking at pictures of a videogame girl’s arse!
