Officially Going Like This at TGS
Posted by Eliza Gauger
Brownlee and I are in the offical Tokyo Games Show Press Room, enjoying delicious cold tea and even colder stares of disgust and condemnation from our game-journalisming peers.

OK, stop going like that and get us some photos of giggling Japanese schoolgirls in short dresses.

And make sure aformentioned giggling schoolgirls are going like this too.

What gaming blogs do you write for?
Comment by Kurt McAllister — September 21, 2007 @ 12:02 am
They write for Destructoid.

Just like Florian to only take pictures where he’s hiding his harelip.
Comment by Slacker — September 21, 2007 @ 12:57 am
Thanks chesh. I don’t read that one…

What time zone is this blog in again? I’m sorry about the questions, I have the worst memory. But your blog posts at Destructoid are brilliant. Is it possible to have a fanboyism for a blog? IS that the correct usage for the word “Fanboyism”?

Y’know, I’m rapidly becoming convinced that neither “John Brownlee” nor “Eliza Gauger” actually exist. I mean, it’s been obvious for years that one was just some unfathomable alter-ego of the other, and the recent “additional writers” added to this blog just serve to underline my suspicions that the mind behind both personalities is getting bored (or increasingly erratic) and constructing yet more imaginary outlets for its intellectual spume.
Clearly they’re all just multiple personalities of one single, fractured psyche, the owner of which occasionally levers its corpulent form out of the pit in which it festers and coerces terrified victims into parading before a webcam to somehow give its diseases form; an attempt to convince itself that it is not, in fact, insane and the playthings it imagines have at least some base in reality.

I hear a picture of Brownlee’s face is worth sixteen Internets and a full-time gig anywhere in the Gawker-verse. And a cup of lukewarm coffee.

Brownlee, you look like Dougie Howser!
Comment by Scott — September 21, 2007 @ 8:22 am
quick! he’s powerless without the Fez! get him!
heh heh - y’know what, Brownlee: every time i think of that bloody hat; instead of thinking of Steely Dan’s “The Fez,” i think of a certain son of the family Eckhardt. i don’t know if this is good or bad, but i’m leaning toward disturbing.

How did this thread wander so far away from its original topic of japanese school girls giggling in short dresses?
Shameful.
I would like to add that the short dresses should be school uniforms and they must MUST be wearing white knee socks.
There is no substitute for school girl uniforms, white kneesocks and the aforementioned japanese school girls - giggling.
*waits patiently*
btw - Eliza’s hair is quite spectacular. See if she is will to part with it. It would look great on a japanese school girl.

for SOME reason this picture of Brownlee got the Mentos jingle in my head and i simply cant stop humming it.
Comment by Maxwell — September 21, 2007 @ 10:44 am
We should make Cthulhu faces by cramming multiple tubes of Mentos into our mouths at the same time.
Comment by Eliza Gauger — September 21, 2007 @ 10:59 am
…and I shall call them, MENTOCLES.
Comment by Eliza Gauger — September 21, 2007 @ 10:59 am
wow
Comment by Melissa — September 21, 2007 @ 11:13 am
Eliza. That put exactly the wrong image, in my head.

Eliza. That put exactly the wrong image, in my head.
You’re awesome and terrible, not unlike lord Cthulhu, himself.
Comment by Damien — September 21, 2007 @ 11:42 am
Kurt: Yeah, Destructoid is great. I’m really glad John and Eliza got hired there, as otherwise I would never have started reading it, but post for post it’s easily my favorite game blog now.
Comment by chesh — September 21, 2007 @ 12:02 pm
Wait. I think there’s some sort of mix-up. I’m the one on the right.
Comment by John Brownlee — September 21, 2007 @ 12:19 pm
Damn, I love you guys.
Comment by Sharpless — September 21, 2007 @ 12:28 pm
Ha, very cute!
Comment by Covert7 — September 21, 2007 @ 12:56 pm
I think I want to have Eliza’s babies. The few pics that have turned up of her, though disquising the botched repair of a grotesque hairlip and mouth full of decaying teeth which laughably have been filed to sharp fangs, have caused me to idolize her. Her quick wit and sharp tongue seem well placed in the amorphous, gelatinous mass we see before us.
Brownlee of course could play doctor throughout my period of gestation for Eliza’s spawn and could deliver the cephalipodic new born while wearing his fez and a labcoat - only… maybe some dark sock to keep his talons warm.
I hope you two are having fun and have taken a great many pics of the event!

Following on with the debate over whether or not Brownlee and Eliza do indeed have faces or not, is that Eliza I see in

This little gem or is it just a string of bizarre similarities? Do I get a finder’s fee if it is her? I take biscuits as a reward.

Well, the name at the end of the video kinda gives it away, don’t you think ;)
As for the disgusted condemnation thing, well, you are working for a site in which the owner wears a robot helmet and propositions young, nubile Japanese booth babes into doing horrible things behind closed doors. I’m sure most of the rest of the press know this, too ;)
Oh, if you see Brian Crecente, you have to touch his hair. I’ve heard it’s soft, like a baby’s, and it grants you luck, like rubbing Buddha’s belly.

I have that shirt!
Good to see Max’s grinning face (or in this case, the tips of his ears) being pimped at TGS. I don’t think that Japan has seen his grinning, skeletal face outside of Max’s own twisted, Godzilla and sausage-pizza influenced dreams.
I wonder what would happen if a Max shirt got in a fight with a Hello Kitty shirt…
