Flash games are a great way to whittle the hours away, and the hottest one right now is Kung-Fu Election: General Election Edition. Our favorite fighter right now has got to Palin: the shotgun is easily the most handy projectile in the game. We also LOLed at the game's katana-wielding Obama and missile-dropping McCain.
Let's hope that they include Fatalities in the next edition!
Sweet sticky gravy! What time is it?! Well, we're pretty much burned out from making a mess in LittleBigPlanet. Hell, I haven't showered since the day started. Good stuff.
What's that? Didn't win one of our beta codes? Then try winning a small consolation prize by naming which classic game this screenshot came from! The winner gets an official GamePro backpack, plus a random prize from under our trough (most likely a video game of your console choice). First one to guess right wins!
I think that guy's wearing pajamas.
Ahh, Mega Man. I remember before the Super Nintendo and all that anime bulls--t, your games were badass. At least Inafune's gotten his act together and made Mega Man 9 harder to survive than a trip to the bathroom after Taco Bell. Finally, a return to true form! The best part is that if you're going to play Mega Man 9, you can't be a pussy.
I'm going to be relishing every boss fight and pitfall with my favorite Mega Man-themed band, the Megas. Check out their album if you haven't heard of them. (Although you would have if you paid attention to Ken's list of the greatest gaming bands in history!)
You damn punks and your save files -- when I was a piglet, we had to beat the game in three lives or less.
Rock Band is great, especially for lazy bums like me who aren't going to pay some designer jeans-wearing buttfarmer for drum lessons. I've gotten a bunch of guys together in my pen, and we play about twice every week. Inbetween Grateful Dead, Judas Priest, and Disturbed, I've got my mitts full. Too bad there's not more metal.
How many of you guys picked up Rock Band 2? Still playing Guitar Hero? Which one's your rock game of choice? I'll be pokin' my nose in on your comments, so let me what you think of all these guitar wars. (PS: I HATE "Master Exploder" and its lyrics.)
Good morning, Slobs! Did you win a contest and haven't gotten your prize yet? Well, we're doing a roll call to pay you loyal readers what we owe!

That time has come again to spurt out yet another free video game from deep within the bowels of the SlobsofGaming. So put on your thinking caps and start barking out guesses of what game you think this giant face-shattering iron fist is from. What game will you win? It shall be revealed after a winner emerges. Good luck!
Medieval maces are no match for fatty lead gloves with spiked knuckes!
It was a tough decision, but sometimes you just can't beat the gross factor. Congrats to the disturbed and potentially insane FETALJUICE for his contest victory!

Sample Entry: The Liquified B.U.M. Stool Super Soaker
B.U.M., or Bum Urinary Mansludge, is the most lethal substance known to humankind, weaponized in this handy dandy mega-sized super soaker cannon! One squirt of these foul-smelling hobo juices will not only obliterate shields, but also disintegrate your flesh and health meter. (Comes with an optional septic tank-refill backpack!)
The Fourth of July is awesome. Grilling hot dogs, seeing Will Smith movies, and lighting fireworks is something that America should do more often! And while we thought about boring you with a PSA about firework safety, the Slobs have instead decided to remind you about Boom Boom Rocket and FantaVision: two firework-crazy games that don't even require you to step away from your BBQ ribs!
For the best firework gaming experience you can get, just have a few things handy:
- A big-ass television
- FantaVision and a PS2, or Boom Boom Rocket and an X360
- Huge speakers
- A DDR pad for multiplayer parties
And presto! Instant, non-injury risk fireworks for everyone! We'll see you guys back here next week, so don't lose any fingers!
We've got a brand-new copy of My Weight Loss Coach burning a hole in our cubicle, so we're having a good old-fashioned picture contest! Rules: Send us a photo of your gamer gut, and the best one wins My Weight Loss Coach! We repeat, the photo must include your gamer-gut with any gaming controller, and NO photoshopping!
(Send your entries to mckinley_noble@gamepro.com and keep it PG!)
HINT: Be creative! Use a Rock Band controller or that Taiko Drum Master set rotting away in your closet! Hell, we might just give the prize away to someone with a Power Glove, who knows?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
