Puppy Times By The Drinky Puppy Club

Posted by Zonk on from the surreality-at-its-finest dept.

For those of you that just can't wait until Nintendogs comes out, check out the Puppy Times Newspaper by the Drinky Puppy Club. The blog covers "The Nintendogs experience as recorded by the Drinky Puppy Club, a group of videogame fans almost as lovable as the puppies they blog about." Suggested by simoniker, so blame him.

    I RTFM, and I need some clarification.

    Should I laugh or cry?

    Typical (?) entry:


    After a hard day at work, nothing beats the warm welcome of a puppy running to the door when you get home. Well, almost nothing. Drinky and I had some fun last night, and I'm starting to learn what he likes. I expect I'll be able to teach him some new tricks soon. He also caught the frisbee for the first time last night... I was so happy.

    But last night there was pain as well as pleasure. For some reason, I decided to enter Drinky into a Dog competition. It was quite a crazy move, considering we're still getting acquainted and all. The first stage of the contest, I had to make Drinky sit, and he could manage that without any problem. But the second part, I was asked to make him lie down. Poor Drinky hasn't learnt that properly yet. And things just went downhill from there. "Shake hands" was met with a blank stare, the judges thought Drinky was sick, and the crowd almost booed us off the stage. We walked away with 0.03 points and 3rd place in a 3 dog contest. Drinky was not pleased.

    To patch things up between us, I gave him a shower with some soothing shampoo. After rinsing him down, his coat was lovely and shiny. Then I gave him some of his favourite dog biscuits and some fresh water. I let him play with the tennis ball and then we both called it a night.
    ...I'm speechless. Really, I am. Trying to think of something witty or insightful to say, but the above really does speak for itself...

      I think "What the fuck?" aptly summarizes the response of any sane person to this. What else is there to say about a group of people who have nothing better to do than blog about their virtual dogs?

      Oh wait, I'm posting to Slashdot. Hm.

    I have no idea how you managed to get this posted, but now I have no choice but to buy this wonderful machine that these nintendogs live inside. My hat is off to you good sir.

    Since no one else seemed to explain it yet, I'll try.

    Basically there's a forum at Gaming-Age.com. One of the mods there is Drinky Crow, a sarcastis anti-Nintendo fan if there ever was one. Smiles And Cries made a thread talking about Nintendogs and Drinky blasted it saying it's not a game and moved the thread to off-topic to be a dick. As such, Smiles And Cries got the idea to make a club about naming your dog Drinky. Hence the blog and the group was born.
