Chris is a dedicated gamer and writer who is always looking to improve his skills in both areas. Having failed miserably to pick a major, his degree from the University of Hertfordshire combines English Literature, Creative Writing and History. (Oddly, it doesn’t even end there.) He lives in St Albans, but knows few people would ever have heard of such a place, so the nearby London is always a better answer. From the 'London'-based marshland nest he calls home, he writes gaming/humour/gaming humour articles and the occasional horror story, and benevolently attempts to befriend passing insects. As yet, none of them have been interested. He even offered a range of homemade baked confections to them once, to no avail.

One Last Bosomy Hurrah: E3 2013‘s Top 5 Sexy Booth Babes (VIDEO)

E3 2013 Booth Babes Header
In our experience, geeks NEVER look like this.

Booth babe-ery is becoming something of a dying art. The women of the world, it seems, are being convinced not to use their beguiling superpowers for evil (after all, we’d buy gasoline-flavored breakfast cereal if its logo was spread across a fine pair of chesticles). Not quite so often, anyway.

Nevertheless, where there’s an ogling will, there’s a way. Said will appears to be strong with ZoominGames, who recently brought us their pick of the fine ladies of E3 2013. We’re all kinds of on board.

Take a look above, as questionable gaming credentials meet bountiful cleavages and... surprise musical interludes from George 'Hey there, want to share a urinal?’ Michael. It’s also confirmed that glasses are still just as much of a slightly nerdly aphrodisiac as ever. In case anyone's 'nads missed that memo.

E3 2013 Recap: Did Nintendo Thrill Us to the Gamer Gonads This Year?

Well, no. No they didn’t. Nevertheless, as we’ve seen, these wacky funsters had a different objective to their rivals. With their own next-gen wonderbox already on store shelves (where it seems to be remaining for the most part, wallowing in its own crap/sad, sad tears of sadness, but it’s there nonetheless), there was no three-way wang-waving ‘no, look at our new console, or we’ll kick you in the eyeballs’ shitstorm to be seen on the show floor.

Much as we’d all like to have seen a trio of furious CEOs wrestling in a pit, greased chests
a-heaving and tiny wrestler’s underpants a-bulging, it was not to be. Nintendo decided to have no part in the festivities.

Indeed, their presence at E3 2013 consisted only of ‘Nintendo Direct’ footage (regularly scheduled online updates, generally featuring boss-man Satoru Iwata dicking around in a Luigi cap or something). The question, then, is just what was shown? Will there be enough balls-out badass first party releases to keep Wii U trucking once PlayStation 4 and Xbox One arrive? Take a look at the gallery for our top 5 picks of the games Nintendo presented at the show.

The Egotastic! E3 Extravaganza: It’s Your Destiny to Wonder at This Latest Sci-Fi Greatness from ‘Destiny’ (VIDEO)

E3 2013 Destiny Trailer
Our future: we're all pale and skinny, and pissed about it.

Think yourselves lucky, because that headline could’ve been (marginally) even worse.

As we know, Destiny is the latest venture from ex Halo overlords Bungie, in collaboration with the producers of the mighty, still-got-the-whole-gaming-world-by-its-sweaty-'nads Call of Duty. That knowledge alone is sufficient to demand our attention. You may even have got a little wood, and nobody would think any the less of you for it.

With each new revelation, then, we see just how much promise this project holds. Rather like Johnny Depp, who recently turned fifty yet his shitty beard is still irresistible to a far-too-great percentage of the female population, Bungie appear to have 'still got it’ in a major way.

In the future-tastic dystopian world of Destiny, the last remnants of humanity are besieged by... some ugly humanoid bastards or other. In the above, they leave their stronghold to make a stand. The whole situation smacks of Gears of War, and in addition to the powerful stench of Halo-ness about the whole thing, this makes for one of the most intriguing next-gen prospects thus far.

The Egotastic! E3 Extravaganza: ‘Battlefield 4′ Screenshots, Shootings and Shanghai-Sieging

As with Metal Gear Solid V, this is another action-tacular romp perfect for E3‘s big screen oohing and ahhing.

The lucky thirteenth installment certainly isn’t lacking any of Battlefield’s usual balls-out, bombastic, summer blockbuster-flavored warfare. At EA’s press conference, a 64-player shitstorm on the Siege of Shanghai map made the business as usual, and then some message quite plain. What more did we need to know? Nothing, that’s what.

Take a look at the latest screens from Battlefield 4 in the gallery, then hit the jump to behold some of that sweet, sweet siege action.

The Egotastic! E3 Extravaganza: ‘Bayonetta 2′ Thrills With Uber-Violence and Crotch Shots (VIDEO)

E3 2013 Bayonetta Trailer Header
She's lost a little hair, but her bloodlust remains intact

As winning combinations go, that one’s a whole lot more win-y than most.

Bayonetta 2 is coming at us courtesy of the loons at Platinum Games, last seen crafting the balls-out actiontacular crazy spree that is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Raiden’s badass ninja influence is plain to see here: complex-looking combo counter as high as the Chrysler building? Check. Awesomely theatrical moves --complete with their own brief 'check this shit out’ cutscene-- when a simple stabbing to the manparts would suffice? Double check.

Still, the most intriguing factor here is that this remains a Wii U exclusive. As we know, the family-friendly funsters at Nintendo aren’t really ones for sex appeal (NOA boss-dude Reggie not included. That guy’s all man). They probably shat a little when they saw Bayonetta emerge crotch-first from the wreckage and make innuendos about ‘touching.’ Sometimes, though, impeccably-dressed Asian businessmen have to take one for the team; the result of which you can see above.

The Egotastic! E3 Extravaganza: ‘South Park- The Stick of Truth’ Teaser Trailer Brings Us the Nagasaki Fart (VIDEO)

E3 2013 South Park- The Stick of Truth Trailer Header
Why aren't we playing this RIGHT NOW?

Yes indeed. It’s time to party like it’s 2012, because another E3 brings us another trailer for the upcoming South Park: The Stick of Truth.

Those that have been following the game --which you totally should have, or we’re ashamed of you and will no longer exchange small talk with you in public toilets while you’re trying to take a piss-- will know how much it’s dicked us around. Delays, switcheroo publisher swaps and such have all amounted to a giant middle finger to fans everywhere.

All is forgiven, though, in the light of the above. Randy gleefully demonstrating the ‘Nagasaki Fart’ is hopefully but our first introduction to a brave new world of flatulence-based special attacks. Would we have it any other way? We would not. The game is coming, as Cartman himself announces in the clip, ‘this holiday season. Or some holiday season hopefully kinda soon. You know how video games are.’

The Egotastic! E3 Extravaganza: Meanwhile, Nintendo Want Us to Drive on the Freaking Ceiling in Mario Kart 8

Nintendo are in a unique position at this year’s show. While Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are firmly embroiled in price wars, game wars and who-can-call-the-other-company’s-executives-a-bunch-of-wankers-in-the-wittiest-and-most-subtle-manner wars, Nintendo’s console is already lurking about (Wii U was released over six months ago).

Whose Facebook-running 0-60 is faster? Which console has an attachment to scratch your wang for you as you languish on the couch? Which CEO’s haircut is more dickish? The over-sized novelty ‘N’ has no shits to give about any of this.

What they do also have, though, is something major to prove. Like Sony’s floundering Vita, ball-busting exclusives have been scarce indeed. To remain relevant when these two guys emerge later this year and threaten to steal its lunch money, Wii U needs to deliver the first-party wonderment in a big way. First on the agenda? The inevitable Mario Kart installment. Take a look at the gallery for some first shots of this gravity-defying racer (head to technobuffalo for the full set).
