I tried to do a Mr Blobbypants feature today, but it ended in frustration and violence.

Last year, before Eegra launched, I requested an interview of my hero, Tim Schafer, to which he kindly and generously agreed. "I'd be happy to answer some questions," he said. "If you email me some, and not too too many, I'll try to answer them asap."

Greedy fool that I was, it was not enough! I flung Tim's magnanimous offer back into his noble face. "NO!" I screeched. "It can't be an email interview; they're dumb! Dumb like you!" I demanded that he fly me to San Francisco and give me a three-hour face-to-face interview, then adopt me and raise me as his own. Anything less, I insisted, would be unacceptable; any other action, the action of a stingy, spiteful, fat-faced fiend.

He never replied to that email, and, long story short, we've ultimately had to do the interview without him.

ENDE

I had planned to review Patapon today, but I'm still quite sick, so I asked my good friend Mr Blobbypants to fill in for me. He was happy to help, because he comes from Smiley Cloud Land and was raised by sunshine, and is a bit of a pushover, frankly. I hope you enjoy his wondrous thingo!
