While Chuck E. Cheese has gotten attention for filing bankruptcy and for their sneaky Pasqually's Pizza debacle, we think this Twitter thread involving the chain is far more interesting. Twitter user @Professor_Palmer took to the social media site to announce that for the past few weeks he's been conducting secret behavioral studies on unsuspecting Chuck E. Cheese game players. The experiments are rather simple, and involve adjusting the use of lights and sound in an attempt to better understand what draws people to - or away from - arcade games. The results? Human beings are really, really, easily manipulated. While this isn't the most shocking insight on our kind, seeing Cary Palmer spell it out in such a fun (and thorough) way has been incredibly informative. And very entertaining.
For comparison, here's the image they're spoofing, from Destiny's exclusive Red Bull campaign:
Cheesemeister3k translated this tweet from Nintendo president Saturo Iwata expressing his sorrow at the reaction to Nintendo's Digital Event at E3. While their showing was underwhelming, nothing ruins my anger like a sad Iwata.
The video linked in the above (now deleted) tweet from Bandai Namco UK is currently private, but with any luck the official announcement will happen soon.
The clan names referenced are houses of the North, who have thusfar only a had passing appearance in the book series. It sounds as though we may be playing as a character from House Forrester, and that the name of the game itself may be "Iron From Ice."
Think I could get them to BringMeSmash outside of the convention?
It's been a long time since we've seen a Conker game, and his inclusion in Project Spark felt like it could have been the end for seeing him star in his own series, but this tweet from Phil Spencer implies otherwise.
Walking Dead fans, thanks so much for your patience! We're expecting Ep 204 to arrive this month and should have news in the coming weeks.
