You know, we try really hard to push the idea that all gamers are pubescent pillow-humping imbeciles. It isn't always easy, but the reward ofirritating Very Serious Gamers is worth the effort.But lately... well, we haven't really had to do anything. It's hard whenthe industry 𒆙is making fun of itself better than we could ever hope to. Casein point: two trailers which graced our inboxes this morni🧸ng.

The first is for an iPhone game called Pillowfight Girls Episode 1. Apparentlไy they intend to make a second episode, because one round of horribly animated girls slapping each other's squishy parts with feather bags isn't enough. This seriously looks like a TIGER game, only in color, and designed by a 6th grader who thinks National Lampoon is t꧅he height of culture.

, the sequel to (srsly), is as dense as a neutron star with "Whaaa-haaa-haaaaaaa-hooo-shii-whaat?" It's like Mortal Kombat, kind of, only with a bunch of girls fighting poorly and falling over a lot. Apparently the games were created to "poke fun at the state of fighting games of the day." Right, it's all a joke... sure. Joke or not, creating something like this 💞takes real commitme♛nt:

The games have developed a, which makes usဣ feel like we're not in onsome larger joke, but we imagine that the larger joke is probablythat there is no joke. They just love it. Well, good on 'em.We can't claim to understand it, but we can look at some choice screen grabs:

Above: Waaaaaaaaaah!

Above: Does my womanhood intimidate you?

Above: HULK SMASH!

Above: What.
