This.

(Thanks, Hempuli!)

A picture of a woman has appeared on a videogame blog! And — and — she's wearing Nintendo clothes! Naturally, you are required to drop whatever you're doing and rate her appearance on a scale of 1-10, taking special care to note whether or not you would take time out of your busy schedule to have sex with her. Because god knows you guys sure do fuck a lot of bitches. And with all that tank-driving and mountain-climbing you do, you certainly don't have the time to bang 'em all, right?

RIGHT?

Ugh. Anyway, here's something delicious:

They are cupcakes! Specifically, they are EEGRA cupcakes, made and photographed by neato person Tracey. Since that picture's a bit blurry, here's another one:

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

I could be mistaken, but I think this is our very first fan-food! If that isn't some sort of milestone, then I dunno what is. Thank you, Tracey!

In other news, I've finally got the Downloads section up and going. In addition to the nine Shindig entries, there's also a neat little indie game called FIG there, which you might enjoy. Eventually, we hope to have a whole selection of cool indie games available for download, as well as some other things too, so there you go. Exciting stuff, I guess!

Also: is this some kind of joke? I mean, why even bother.

Hello! I have a new bit of Reader Radness for you - specifically, a new column for our long-neglected Trouserful of Melody section by forum celebrity and all-round cool dude, Gatas Brilhantes. Patch and I like this column so much that we've decided to let Mr. Brilhantes update the Trousers whenever he wants, FREE OF CHARGE. So, yes, expect more excellence of this sort in the near future ... if you dare!

In other news: GODDAMN IT.

First off, here is a funny comic from forum regular Valdez_Leel. It is about movies and videogames and AIDS:

Attentive readers will no doubt recognise Mr. Leel as the author of this excellent God of War II review. He is a pretty cool dude! (If you want to tell him as much, go here.)

Also, here is a funny comic from me, about my laptop:

I lied: that is neither funny, nor a comic. It is true, though.

And now, an aghast puppy:

TOMORROW: A proper update, but only if my laptop starts working again. Otherwise, disgusted kittens.

About a month ago, I received an email from a reader named Alan Peck that went something like this:

Hi Dan! I make t-shirts, and would like to send you one! Is that okay? Hugs and kisses, Alan

 
Not being one to turn down free clothing from mysterious internet strangers, I of course replied:

Dear Alan, Yes, please send me a t-shirt. Also, pants, if you have any. Smooches, Dan

And then, just the other day, I received THIS in the post:

In case you're ignorant of excellent videogames, it's Solid Snake (or Big Boss, if you want to be pedantic about it) from Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. So that's pretty RAD. Thanks, Alan!

Speaking of RAD t-shirts, we're going to start selling some of our own real soon. Wanna know what they look like? Well, here's a picture:

CHECK IT OUUUTTTT.

If everything goes to plan, you'll be able to buy these from our store tomorrow. They'll be $30 for one and $80 for three. All prices are in Australian funbucks, and include postage.  Alternatively, if you're in Australia and attending Supanova Sydney this month, you can buy them from us direct for a little bit less. (We'll be selling other stuff at Supanova aside from shirts, but we'll talk about that a bit later.)

Anyway, DINNER TIME.

After much procrastination, we've finally decided it's time to introduce a regular Reader Radness feature, where YOU, our beloved and attractive audience, can submit content for us to publish on the site – for free! At Something Awful, you'd have to pay ten dollars for the privilege of doing our job for us, but here at Eegra, we care enough to profit from your labour without charge. Because we love you.

Anyway, if you'd like to submit something to us – anything at all – then head on over to the forums and post it up. Of course, there's no way in hell that we're going to publish everything that comes our way, but if it's good and interesting, then we'll certainly try.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, this instalment of Reader Radness is a long(ish) review of Mount and Blade by forum regular and all-round swell fellow, Farvana. Thanks, Farvana! If I ever meet you in person (which I never will), I will be sure to shake your hand and perhaps buy you a beverage, such is my appreciation for your contribution to our site.
