Nudity in Games: An eatpizza4chickens Expose
The video game industry is out of control when it comes to the amount of nudity that is present in every game. Some may say the ESRB was set up to prevent this from reaching the vast majority of young minds, but nudity can be found in E rated games, sometimes even more than M rated games!
No Pants! Donkey Kong? More like Satan Kong!
He's fast, and he's naked!
This pink ball makes its living on sucking things! Do you want your children exposed to that?
He's just a sweet transvestite from transexual, translyvania...
There are kids playing Zelda Nintendo! They thank you...
This once again proves once more how video games are nothing but evil and destined to bring your soul to Hell. Repent you sinners!!
Instead of playing these sinful games, play the games that don't feature nudity. Some that come to mind are Gears of War, No More Heroes, and Halo. Stay away from the sinful junk that companies like Nintendo make.
This has been eatpizza4chickens, ruining your innocence one blog post at a time.
Don't forget to sign up for Big Brawl 3! The deadline will be Thursday Night, which is when I will officially do up the brackets. More information will follow at that time.

Games That Define Me: Ocarina of Time
Originally I planned to write "Games That Define Me: Pokemon Red", then I realized that i already wrote it (check it out). I probably could have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids. So instead of write about the same topic, I continue my series of Games that define the gamer I am today with a look at one of the greatest games of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
I actually didn't buy this game until later in my N64 gaming period. I already owned Oracle of Ages, my first dive into the Zelda pool, and kept hearing of the the greatness of the N64 game. I found the game in the used section of EB games when we were at our campground for the weekend, so i had to wait an excruciating three days, which I spent staring at the cartridge and the Strategy Guide which I also bought cheap. I finally arrived home, popped the cartridge in, and my life was never the same again.
Immersed in a world monsters, dungeons, and magic, I was hooked. I enjoyed every minute of it, except for the dreaded water temple. I spoiled the plot by reading the strategy guide, but it didn't detract for the greatness of it all.
People will claim that the game is overrated, these people should be lynched. It is one of the few N64 games that still plays well to this day. It is a game that is still referenced by gamers everywhere, in fanfiction, music, art and more. Not only that, every 3D adventure game that has followed it has payed homaged to it in some way, whether its targeting system or horseback riding or annoying sidekicks.
Gaming wouldn't be the same without this game. I can't say with certainty if I would be a gamer without this game. Pokemon Red got me into gaming, but Ocarina of Time transformed me into a gamer forever.
How has Ocarina of Time defined you? What other games define you?
You still have plenty of time to sign up for Big Brawl 3. There's no limit to how many people can sign up, but the deadline will probably be Thursday or something like that. I might try to get it started Saturday, if its ok with people.

Big Brawl 3: The Battle Begins
Do you want to be the very best? Like no one ever was? Do you have the skillz that killz? Are you better than us and know it? This is your chance to prove it!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a game of wits, reflexes, and a little bit of Jedi mind tricks. Big Brawl 3 pits the very best of IGN, from various skill levels in the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. But in the end, only one will triumph, only one will survive, only one will be crowned Big Brawl Champion!
Big Brawl will be a double elimination tournament. Let's try to get as many people signed up as we can for optimal fun/bragging rights. The matches will mostly likely be a 5 stock match, unless there are any objections. I will also come up with specific rules in the case of laggy matches later down the road.
Sign up by commenting below. Leave your Brawl Friend Code, AIM (for easy contact with players who are will be fighting to set up match times and such), and your vote on items (high/medium/low/none, smash balls?).
Once enough people sign up, I'll have further information on the start date. There is NO LIMIT to how many people sign up, unlike the previous Big Brawls. Advertise this in your blogs if you want. Invite your friends as well. There will be an award similar to the BOTY awards for 1st 2nd and 3rd places. Together we can make this the Brawl to end all Brawls.

Thumbs Up/ Middle Fingers of the Week
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la la la la...
Thumbs Up
-To having a working computer again, the beginning of this week sucked.
-To my mom getting a better job this year and not last year, which means I'll get a better financial aid package for college. Suck it Economy!
-To the worst kept secret of Jin being alive. Next time you want the viewers to think a character was dead, remove the actor's name from the cast list!
-To Dead Space coming to the Wii, hopefully the developers can create the atmosphere that is on the 360/PS3
Middle Fingers
-To still not deciding where I'm going to college. There are pros and cons to all the ones I was accepted to. It'll probably come down to money.
-To the epidemic that spread through our school this week. I swear I saw a guy with a cart of dead bodies shouting "Bring out your dead!".
-To very little video game news this week NGG pwning me with his "facts", although its typical this time a year. At least there isn't a game drought with House of the Dead: Overkill and Deadly Creatures coming out and MadWorld coming around the corner.
-To not paying your taxes, then being appointed Secretary of the Treasury Department. Just don't complain that you don't have enough money.
-To all the hoopla with Michael Phelps. It's not like he's the first person to smoke weed, former president Bill Clinton admitted to smoke weed. I can see why he lost some sponsorships, but not why he was suspended from swimming. Michael Vick wasn't suspended when he was caught with weed, only after dogfighting.

Big Brawl?
I was playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl today and realized it has been a while since the last Big Brawl here on the Blogs. The game is almost a year old, and many new bloggers have come here since the last tournament. I know Next-Gen-Gamer teased a Big Brawl 3 a few months back and I believe Poke0wned314 also had some discussion on his blog, but those discussions seemed to have either been forgotten/abandoned.
I have some ideas and am willing and able to organize a new Big Brawl tournament. If one you guys still wants to go with his original plans, that's ok too, just let me know and I'll step aside. I feel that this is an excellent time for this, seeing as the game's one year anniversary is a month away. It will be the Brawl to end all Brawls.
Tell me if you are in any way interested in the comments. If you have any specific ideas, feel free to post that too.
