Professional Eating Comes to Video Games
It's apparently the season for oddball game pitches. Except, this time, the game pitch has already been accepted and is in development. Publisher Mastiff recently took up the concept for a game that will be called "Major League Eating", based off of what some call America's favorite past time. The game itself sounds like something out of a 7-year old's dream. The contest of the "world's greatest gurgitory athletes" will play much like many other fighting games, such as Mortal Kombat. However, instead of using swords and fists, the aforementioned athletes will attack and defend using "burps, belches, and mustard gas", all while making sure that they get their fair share of munchies. Mastiff's announcement did not mention any timeframe for release, or finalize any platforms.

2. wth is a eating fighting game... that makes no sence at all, i mean rly who's gonna buy this crap! i mean defending with belches and burps come on!
i normally wouldent post on somthing this stupid...but jesus, this just made my morning
That being said, I'll bet this game does well. Anyone remember "Pet Rocks"?
When they first came out I though, "What kind of dumbass would pay for a rock in a box?"
They sold millions.
Do not underestimate the power of marketting and the general moronicity of the average consumer.
Please note : "Moronicity" is a new word I just invented and claim all copyright too. If you want to use I will be happy to license the use to you. Licensing cost is 1 (one) twelve pack of Guiness Stout (not draught, that stuff is lame).
