Dragon Quest Slime Meat Buns created, best thing ever

Dragon Quest lovers should know that this year is the 25th anniversary of the series, and some Family Mart locations in Japan have decided to celebrate in their own little way. A few of these stores have already begun selling them and if you are in Japan you best hurry to one of these stores as the company is only creating a million of these delicious looking fellows.

As you can see above and in in the video below, the convenience store chain has created these Slime Meat Buns from Dragon Quest. The meat buns themselves will run at 170 yen which is roughly $2 in American. Now while some of us can’t pick these guys up at all, we can be envious of those who can while we watch this video below of them being eaten.

Let’s face it, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a massive title and one of the best games that most people have had a chance to play in many years. Quite a few members of our own site have fallen into the world that Skyrim creates and have had difficulty extracting themselves to still acknowledge this world called Earth.

It seems that even one of the stricter publications in Japan even loves Skyrim. The magazine Famitsu provides review scores for both Western and Japanese games and this is the first time in the publication’s 25 year history that they have ever given a Western developed title a 40/40, or a perfect score. This also puts Skyrim as one of only 17 titles to ever receive the honor. Bravo Bethesda… bravo.

A Christmas edition of Chicken Invaders 4: Ultimate Omelette is now available on InterAction Studios’ official website for the PC. In the world of Chicken Invaders, chickens from outer space are seeking vengeance for their Earth counterparts. It’s bad enough that Earth chickens get their eggs taken from them, they get eaten! The eggnogs, scrambled eggs, sausages, chicken fillets, fried chicken; you know what I’m talking about! It’s time to avenge their fallen brothers and sisters and defeat the humans!

In Chicken Invaders 4: Ultimate Omelette Christmas Edition, the space chickens are back and have devised a new plan: to destroy Christmas by encrusting humanity in an impenetrable wall of egg white! With an egg canon capable of firing planet-scaled eggs to achieve this devious scheme, it’s the player’s job to explore galaxies to find and destroy the egg canon and defeat festively dressed space chickens along the way. Be wary of Christmas elves, Santas and other holiday figures, they could be evil space chickens in disguise!

Features of Chicken Invaders 4: Ultimate Omelette Christmas Edition include: up to 4 player co-op; 12 star systems to explore; 10 different weapons and 12 weapon upgrades for each; 120 waves of invading chickens; and over 20 minutes of original orchestral soundtrack.

A free demo and the full game, on sale at €17.50 (normally €22.50) are available here.

Quick, think of the strangest cameo appearance a character has made in a different franchise or a reference to another title that just seemed a bit out of place. Now listen to this, it appears that Square Enix is going to be teaming up with Ubisoft to provide quite a unique piece of DLC for their upcoming title Final Fantasy XIII-2.

It was revealed today that they will be bringing Ezio Auditore’s assassin garb from Assassin’s Creed Revelations to Final Fantasy XIII-2 as an alternate costume to be worn by FFXIII-2’s new time traveling hero Noel Kreiss. They have yet to price the DLC or give it a date of release, but considering Final Fantasy XIII-2 doesn’t come out until January 31, 2012 they have plenty of time to work that out. Any guesses as to who or what they may reference if they do a costume for Serah?

The World’s Biggest Lan… is How Big?

The biggest LAN in the World (Lanky Angry Nerds, as my mates used to call them) happened in Sweden a few days back, they’re called the “DreamHack Festivals”. We’re talking like 12,000 plus people here, that’s insane! And it’s been going on for quite a few years, how gross would it get inside there? In my experience all you need is 4 gamers in one room for long enough and the smell mutates into something awful.

All the usual games appear, you know, Starcraft, Counter strike and the like. Also included is live music, stores, parties, everything!… I stumbled upon this via twitter and just thought it was insane, so I had to share it. I’ve been to quite a few LAN’s, the last one was in 2008, but nothing quite like this.
