Squinkies
Activision has announced that they are working on Squinkies, a game based on series of children's toys of the same name. In the game you play the Squinkie Princess who must find all of her long lost Squinkie friends. The game looks like your typical crank out a licensed IP game and make a ton of profit kind of deal. But the real question is "What is a Squinkie". Well, Ben and I exchanged e-mails on the topic and here's what we came up with.
Chuck - "Dude, eating mexican food and then two pizza's gave me a case of he squinkies"
Ben - "Seeing her across the room, all i could think about was ripping her clothes off and getting a look at her squinkies"
Chuck - "Sleeping with Paris Hilton is almost a certain way to catch the squinkies."
Ben - "Following the roller coaster ride, her squinkies were spread all over the inside of the nearest trashcan."
Chuck - "Didn't one of the Blue Jackets hockey players have surgery that removed one of his squinkies?"
Ben - "His discovery of the new sub-atomic particles which he has dubbed squinkies, have sent the scientific community into a tither."
