We'd like to welcome our readers to a very special event. For the first time ever, we will be presenting a full video walkthrough of a game, the 3DO title Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. PDWT was billed as an "adult choose your own adventure story" in which you try to help a poor down on his luck plumber named John score with an attractive girl.
There is little actual gameplay to be found in Plumbers. All the player does is watch a "scene" consisting of a series of still photos accompanied with some elementary-school-play-level dialogue and then chooses the main character's next move at the end of the action. Think of this game as Leisure Suit Larry meets Dragon's Lair, only less advanced.
If you think you're ready for this kind of intense action, send the kids off to bed, put on some Barry White, pour yourself a stiff drink and join our hosts, Pinky and Jumpman, as they dive into the world of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties!
Koopas, Toadstools, and Yoshis, oh my! Our bizarre expose into the real backstory of the Super Mario series takes us into the 16-bit Super Mario World.
Today's chapter takes us to the tropical paradise of Yoshi's Island. The Koopa Socialist Republic is flourishing under Chairman Bowser, but little does he know that his old enemies are ready to pay him a visit. To celebrate the Mario Brothers' victory over the Koopas, Princess Peach and the plumbers are preparing to visit what they think is a deserted island. Little do they know that they are about to fly right into the middle of the new Koopa homeland.
What will happen to our heroic plumbers and their scheming sovereign? (Insert cheesy 50's radio serial music here) Find out just below the fold in today's installment of Mario and Peach: A Fistful of Yoshis!
There are good time and bad times for Exhibitors during PAX setup. Luckily the good times are more frequent than the bad times especially if you're not the one stuck sitting in a Uhaul truck for 5 hours staring at a bridge. Just how big has PAX gotten? This year marked the first year that they ever used a Marshaling Yard to queue the hordes of Exhibitor trucks. What, never heard of a Marshaling Yard? Neither had we.

Pink Godzilla has been known to pull a prank or two from time to time and PAX 08 was no exception! While our good friends the behemoth were waiting for us at dinner, we made a few design changes to their booth! Hit the play button for the full scoop and find out what happened!
Thanks to Star Bear and Jumpman for helping us out! Stay tuned for the latest from PAX 08 here on the PG Blog!
The PG crew is hard at work building da best boof the world has ever seen! Early this morning (thanks Intel!) the crew raised the 10 foot tall tower o' plushies on top of da boof in progress. Watch the video for the play by play:
Check back soon for more from PAX 08!
Intel! One of the biggest suppliers of high powered processors in the world. So you'd think they'd know how to measure a door to see if their PAX display would fit, what with all the gigahertz they manage to pump out. Sadly, that was not the case earlier this morning.
It's that time of the year again! In just 2 little days, Pink Godzilla and it's legendary boof will be all up in PAX 2008. This year marks PG's 3rd year as an exhibitor and our fourth year in attendance. PG was still a hatch-ling when the 2nd annual PAX was held in '05 in Bellevue. In '06 we introduced Da Boof Jr. In '07 we brought in the Da Boof Sr. And in '08? It'll be bigger and badder than last year's but we're fresh out of family acronyms to give it (Da Boof the III? doesn't really roll off the tongue) so we'll just stick with Da Boof. Kool?
Hit the jump for a quick preview of what's in store for PG this year at PAX 2008.
