Sony today surprised the console world by revealing a new mascot, a boy-faced monkey. The chimp, known as Tyrone, is perfectly formed in every way except for it's face which is completely hairless, except for eyebrows, and has human facial features. Tyrone can also say a number of works, and had the audience in fits of laughter as he bounced around the stage pointing at ugly women and shrieking "Who let the dogs out?"
Perhaps the biggest surprise here is that Sony used a boy-faced monkey, rather than the monkey-faced boy that was strongly tipped to be the new mascot. "Apparently Tyrone is the only existing boy-faced monkey though, but monkey-faced boys are ten-a-penny" said a watching Gaz Coombs from Supergrass.
Tyrone will not only be used to promote the Playstation brand, he is also set to star in his own series of games, developed exclusively for Playstation 2 by Sony Studios Liverpool. The first game, set for a Winter release, will be 'Tyrone Goes Bananas', a 3D platformer in which you control Tyrone as he goes searchng for, unsurprisingly, bananas.
When asked how he felt about being a Sony mascot Tyrone became quite excited, and danced to a number of classic Michael Jackson tunes, before shouting "Nintardo" and doing a massive crap.
We approached a Sony spokesperson to ask why they had chosen such a mascot, Giant Haystacks said the following "When we saw Microsoft's giant monkey we knew they were onto a winner, but we think that by going for Tyrone we have raised the stakes. There is no way that Microsoft's giant sweat-ape will be able to beat our chimp!" Haystacks went on to issue a challenge to Microsoft, a giant monkey scrap to take place before the World Cup final. How Microsoft plan to respond is currently unknown.
Nintendo responded to the news with typical arrogance "They are not our direct competitors, they fight for a different market. Anyway, mascots are a thing of the past. We here at Nintendo want to continue to innovate in games. You will be very excited to hear that Donkey Kong will be appearing in a new game soon, which we shall be promoting at the World Cup final." Said Mr Miyagi, whilst trying to catch flies in chopsticks.
In other news Rare have confirmed that they won't be a third party company in the near future. When asked why they had such a limited showing at E3, Rod Hull said "Basically, we couldn't be bothered. We've being doing Starfox Adventures for so long now that we don't think we needed to show anything else, given that we haven't really been working on much else. Except a giant ball made from elastic bands. It bounces just like a bouncy ball" Rod Hull bounced the ball for quite some time before we made our excuses and left.

Heh! No, it honestly made me laugh. Maybe because it was a quite obvious joke to make, but I never saw it coming?

Hows malibu finding the GC?
She likes to 'play' Luigi's Mansion. Well, she holds one bad and we play with the other.
She also likes to watch Super Smash Bros: Melee, and Monkey Bowling on Super Monkey Ball

I've not completd luigis mansion yet (well i've only played on it for an hour) but starwars is good. Do you know if Wave race is any good?
I haven't played it. It has got good reviews, and if you like that kind of thing it's probably quite appealing.
I might buy that tomorrow if not there a replica gun that i like the look of.
