PSP Go - Image 1Eveyrone's been soooo deadly serious over the huge revelation last week of the PSP Go. Not everyone was pleased (as usual) with the redesigned PSP handheld, but I say it's time to take in a few deep breaths and let it out as a huge laugh. It's now or never, after all, we might not be all smiles in the coming days if the companies coming to the E3 don't deliver on their goods and promises. To see the REAL PSP Go, head to the full article.

Monster HunterDamn straight, we're gonna be monster hunting yet again on the PSP! And it's inching ever so close now. One big sign that a game's getting released soon is this: Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is now stalking around the webbed forests of the PlayStation blog! They've even posted an introductory video too. Yeah I got a few chuckles out of it. Go, Mr. News Anchor! Beat that purple dino, why don'cha? We also hear that they've got a special surprise for us this June! Demo, perhaps?

Insomniac GamesEver wondered what it's like to work at a gaming studio much like Insomniac Games? Imagine: beef jerky, masseurs, a free cruise for your time off? (Oh, and getting to play Resistance and Ratchet & Clank games waaaay ahead of everyone else, of course!)

Insomniac Games came out with some hilarious videos publicizing what it's like to work in their studio. The best part about it is this: they're really hiring!

PSP - Image 1This is just absolutely crazy. Fine, it's not news, but... if you wanted to see proof of how popular the PSP is in Russia, here's a video showing two guys stealing a 4-foot PSP displayed in a street stand advertisement! Viral marketing? Hmmm...

Snake - Image 1So, what are David Hayter and the rest of the MGS voice cast doing after their stint with Konami? Oh, I don't know... maybe dealing with all the trauma they've been through as characters in the game? Yeah, you best believe it: voice acting may have psychological effects on the actor. See the video proof in the full article.

Snake? SNAKE?! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

PSP mock-up - Image 1Is your class so boring that your hands are itching to hold your PlayStation Portable instead of your book? Sony Italy thought up of a simple - but ingenious - solution to the problem on how to hide PSP activity while class is in session.

As part of its marketing campaign, Sony Italy handed out printed cardboard that are mock-ups of hands holding an open volume of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy". Students can hide their real hands and PSPs behind the cardboard cut-out which make them look as if they're really reading.

Quite an ingenious marketing move by Sony, yet some view the marketing strategy as "terrible", stating that it gives the wrong impression to young students thinking that it's good to play hooky during class hours.

However, teachers may get suspicious upon seeing their usually reading-phobic students suddenly getting engrossed in their "book", especially when said students tend to shake their book a lot and have angry looks plastered on their faces.

Release your anger! - Image 1Upon digging for more news to serve you guys, we've stumbled upon something beyond strange and intriguing. Electronic Arts (EA) posted up a site called Kah Ra Shin - beneath its simplistic eastern design hides a chockful of surprises.

There are four sections of this insanity. First up, 'The Way of the Scream' where you can find a bunch of user sent videos of themselves shouting. Anyone can either upload a scream or send one to a friend.

Next up, a history page of Kah Ra Shin titled 'Through the Ages'. Apparently, this cult started when a young boy living in a Tiberian village discovered the joy and release to be found by smashing things. Take note of the broken car image beside the text.

Third section, 'The Teachings', is the most hilarious out of the bunch. It offers a collection of eight videos detailing the ways of Kah Ra Shin that follows the idea of 'speed, aggression, destruction'. Here's a snippet of their ideology:

Kah Ra Shin is fun and easy to start... simply snap a pencil, smash a vase or drive a car into a wall at 200kph. To become a grand master, however, takes dedication, self belief, and an endless supply of crockery. Pay attention disciples, the peace and joy that comes with such efforts will truly reward the faithful.

True enough, followers are found screaming, breaking stuff, and playing Burnout Dominator (on the PS3, no less) to release their anger.

Finally, the 'Testimonials'. As you would expect, testimonies from people all over the world who were enlightened by Kah Ra Shin can be found here. From what we can tell, this group's members are all former problematic with a history of anger issues. Looks like Kah Ra Shin is better than any anger management program, or so these guys say.

Considering the theme of destruction, Burnout Dominator's logo on the bottom left, and being made by EA, one would say that this is an elaborate ploy to attract people for an upcoming Burnout title. It's too early to tell, so enjoy playing around the site for now.
