Yuriko-Chan Daiski Dayo!
Well, so much for the two-posts-a-day plan . What I’ve really been busy with is EA’s “Save Yuriko” contest, which ends today.
As you already know, I’m completely infatuated with the video game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 , and like any other otaku I’m forced to prefer the Japanese schoolgirl psychotic psychic commando Yuriko Omega over the lovely Jenny McCarthy and wrestle-worthy Gina Carano. In EA’s latest marketing ploy, Red Alert 3 fans are being asked to submit their ideas for a new psychic power for Yuriko to wield over her capitalist pig captors.
And in exchange for doing the job of Electronic Arts’ creative team, we can win some computer speakers and a T-shirt (insert suspicious emoticon). Here are the submissions from yours truly, which you all have to vote on next week, via the Red Alert 3 website:
“Mega Yuriko Omega”
Yuriko grows 100 feet in size and is able to crush her foes beneath her and tear them limb from limb. Also, she can breathe fire.
“Super Mammoth Tank Army Attack”
Yuriko transforms three enemy units (and after upgrades, four and five units) into friendly Mammoth Tank units. Yatta!
So, what do you think? I’m a shoe-in, right?
