[It has been awhile sinceI’ve posted a senseless, late-night video, sothis onefrom our sister site Japanator will do fine.] This video works on so many levels! For the layperson, watching this car decorated with funny-looking (not a pun) guys drive around a track with strange Japanese music playing might be worth a laugh, but those knowledgeable on the wholeKuso Miso TechniqueJapanese internet meme may think it’s even more funny. In this video, aKuso Miso-themed car races around the track in the Xbox 360 titleForza Motorsport 2, a game which lets players customize auto paint jobs....

Yesterday, we talked about Kaos Studios’Homefrontand the potential controversy that its “occupied America” narrative could cause. With that in mind, we asked general manager Dave Votypka if controversy is always good for a game, and if Kaos is counting on it for some freeHomefrontadvertising. “I think it depends on the tone and depth of the controversy,” he explains. “When you’re dealing with portraying real events, with real people that the public currently has a personal and emotional attachment to, there are sensitivities there that need to be respected and avoided....

As if “you can blow up a bunch of crap and do some crazy sh*t” wasn’t reason enough to pre-orderJust Cause 2, Square Enix/Eidos has thrown together a trailer showing off the game’s pre-order items. They’re all in-game, downloadable once you get the game home, and they range from weapons to vehicles to a parachute. The Chaos Parachute just looks like it’s a regular old parachute, but totally awesome because it has a skull face on it....

A few of those are obvious — it’s free, it’s well-paced, etcetera — but I was awfully surprised to see some wonderfully message board-esque humor adorning the walls of the campaign’s second saferoom. you’re able to see a larger picture in the gallery below, but it seems that more than a few trolls survived Crash Course before Zoey and Francis ever showed up....

Surprisingly, the patch didn’t edit out thescandalous songthat we have heard so much about lately. Instead, it fixed some online functions and added a few more costumes. Not to seem insensitive yet again, Media Molecule promptly rolled out another patch to take care of Tourmani Diabate’s track “Tapha Niang.” Instead of completely killing the track, the patch removed the vocal track from the song....
