Feels like arrested development at large in Japan with this & similar archetypes all throughout their media tbh
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

GPU brands used to have sexy female mascots, once upon a time. Although I guess ROOOOSTY would consider both of these to be gay somehow.

A tomboy is a girl that wears a baseball cap with her long beautiful hair in a ponytail and likes the things her dad/brothers like.

I think this one is from one of those 'GPU test' programs that they used to include on the driver install CD that's literally just the GPU mascot woman standing around in super-high-rez with the camera panning around and an FPS counter.

Saw a nude mod for one of those once. :pipe-thinking:

I like this guy because he's both cute and annoying (killable).

Buddy I remember my brother playing this when he got sick and spent months in Sick Kid's Hospital. I used to watch him play on that little puppet guy all the time as he navigated the maps and obstacles, think it was on PS3 ( ? )
Sad but good memory seeing this.

The first two games are gems. The creation mode is a big part of that; the levels that people created with the tools were pretty amazing. The overall aesthetic and artstyle of the game is also something you will never see nowadays.

Yeah I never hopped in to play with him or anything, I don't even know if it was MP, but seeing him solve the maps and keep the spirit of exploration alive despite him being in a **** spot kept me amazed and rooting for him to power through the levels. If they are MP, I should fire it up some time with him at some point. Hope you are well too brother.

MP is dead now. Sony pulled the plug on the servers a while back, though I believe there is an open-source, community-driven custom server project which aims to bring back online functionality (called "Project Lighthouse''). You will obviously need custom firmware on your PS3 to use it.

I'm guessing local co-op should still be available as another option.

It was a launch title
In an effort to show consumers what its 50 GB next-generation Blu-ray Disc technology can add to movies, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will give the first 500,000 PlayStation 3 owners a free copy of Will Ferrell’s summer hit “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.”
