I Will Not Buy This Talkman, It Is Scratched
London game blogger Guy Cocker over on Gamespot has posted a video of his hapless attempts to use Talkman, the new PSP travel phrasebook. If this video is true to form, the thing is worse than useless:
I've reviewed the game for the site, but I thought I should also put his original design brief to the test. Luckily, I work in a big tourist area of London, and finding a Spanish girl isn't that difficult. Watch my hapless attempts to remain a gentleman as 'how are you today?' is turned into 'do you want to come to my apartment?' by the randy blue bird.
Guy laughs it off, but propositioning strangers is a good way to get your ass kicked. I should know, I live right next to the gay neighborhood, and seeing as all the heterosexual men in Seattle look like the bastard lovechildren of John Romero and Bill Gates (which in a way, they are), I am sometimes forced to disguise myself as a drag queen and go cruising with Florian.
Whether I'm shoving my PSP into their hands or not, it always ends in runny mascara, hurt feelings, and a spike heel embedded in someone's back.
Thanks for the tip, Carrie!
