Game humor (the Onion)

[Golden Beast Studios]

I'm a huge fan of the Onion (fictious news network) and I particularly enjoy their articles that involve gaming and game characters. So, I'm just going to post links and photos here with some funny stuff from the Onion every now and then. If anyone else wants to post other game humor type stuff (it doesn't have to be the Onion nessicarily) feel free I'll kick it off with links to the Onion news video for "Close Range" and a link to the "Demo". Technically, it's not game literature, but I plan on putting links to regular articles in the future

The video:

The "outcry" in the Columbine article is hilarious!

The American Voices section is always like the same 4 people lol. "What kind of animal would design such a thing?" lol! The Sousaphone hero and the Snake articles are pretty classic too.
