I haven’t commented on the whole Frag Dolls phenomenon but… this is hilarious.

The design and business of gaming from the perspective of an experienced developer
I haven’t commented on the whole Frag Dolls phenomenon but… this is hilarious.
You whippersnappers, with your fancy graphics, interactive fictions, splendorous environments and visceral combat. Back in the old days, we used books for our interactive entertainment. And we liked it!
This guy liked it enough to map one out (found via Grand Text Auto).
Once upon a time, kiddies, games used to scold you for cursing. You spoiled brats with your GTA: San Andreas.
Note to all wanna-be game designers: the day you fill out your project’s profanity filter IS in fact the most fun you’ll have during the development of your game.
Well, this is just plain disturbing. And awesome.

Looking for that special gift to really creep out your loved one? I bring you Pettery.
Our ‘Hairloom Pottery’ is art made just for you, and designed using the hair or fur that you send us. These pieces will last ‘fur-ever’ and are appropriate for almost anyone: a Christmast gift for a child with a beloved puppy, a breeder wishing to keep a small memorial of each foal before it moves on to its new home, the owner of an older cat that deserves a permanent place in the household, even though his days are passing – the ideas and occasions are infinite!
I discovered these entrepreneurs going to my local Wells Fargo last Friday, when they were having a ’small business fair’ or some other event celebrating the local plucky business. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that this is an Austin enterprise, but all the same, some businesses should STAY small. Unfortunately, the web site lacks some of the great visuals from their brochure, which includes cats and dogs sniffing at vases made from their own hair, each wearing a look of confusion and bewilderment. Maybe if I can find a scanner…
Just as a warning, ZenOfDesign was never intended for critics.
HAM!
These are real. They are ads for my very first game.

Latex Part 2
Get a life!
After these, we were RELIEVED when they gave us ads with a big breasted bimbo that had nothing to do with the game.
Anyone want to know why 3DO is now out of business? (Okay, terrible advertising might not be the only reason).
