YOU’VE OUTDONE YOURSELVES, JAPAN

Congratulations!! Your eyes have AIDS now.
I didn’t write about the game ”Muscle March” earlier because I thought its particular form of insanity was confined to the Japanese market. Now unrealitymag reports it’s getting an American release this winter:
[You] play one of a couple buff dudes, a chick and a polar bear to chase after a football player who stole your protein powder. And you move the Wiimote to pose in various muscular ways in order to fit through the walls. [unrealitymag]
Watching the trailer, I can’t help thinking this is an elaborate slam on Americans somehow. Which is unnecessary, as we parody ourselves well enough already, thankyouverymuch.

I’d watch that again but i’ve just done a River Tam and wiped out a room full of colleagues.
Leave it to the Japanese to find an even stranger use for polar bears than Lost did.
On a side note, the big thing at the NC State Fair this year was fried butter.
Fried.
Butter.
how can anyone not like this idea for a game?
Wait….did i just watch the Jersey Shore premier again?
