You’ll be able to do more than base jump off skyscrapers and hit the clubs of Liberty City when The Ballad of Gay Tony drops on Xbox 360 this week (both on its own as DLC, as well as being a part of the Episodes From Liberty City retail package); you’ll be able to sit on your fat duff in-game and enjoy the new programming that’s been added to the television. One of those featured shows will be… wait for it… Princess Robot Bubblegum! ZOMG KAWAII DESU NE!?
*Ahem* Sorry about that. We had a bit of a lapse of sanity there for a moment. But seriously, doesn’t Rockstar realize that if you compare this to a lot of the anime that was released in the States on video in the mid-’90s, this isn’t really that much of a parody? Come now, boys – for parody to work, it needs to exaggerate things in a comical fashion; this is probably damn close to being a straight lift of a series that actually exists.
Also, I’m sure I could make a joke somewhere about the levels of irony surrounding video game geeks watching fake anime inside of a video game or some such, but I haven’t had my morning caffeine yet. You guys can insert something appropriately witty yourself, I’m sure. Ahh, escapism.
