And here I thought I had seen everything related to that ancient Billy Herrington meme

The always-fabulous Video Games Made Me Gay tumblog proved me wrong by highlighting the following video in a recent post:



I don't know about you, but I think it's a crying shame that no one ever took this idea and made it into a full-fledged racing game.

I mean, who wouldn't want to take control of a nearly naked Herrington as he rides his similarly muscular (and similarly lacking in clothing) bud in pursuit of ... whatever the hell it is they're chasing in the video above.

HA! Its so absurd...I love it. Even a game where your vehicle could be damaged and forced to transform into something faster but with less armor would be a blast!

Oh, I like that idea, Justin! It's kind of ... wicked, isn't it? I wonder why no one has ever tried that before?

Somehow I missed this episode of Teletubbies.

Ha! If Teletubbies is anything like this video, warp, I think I'm ... scared for our children :)

Have you guys played Hot Throttle? It's as brilliant as it is terrifying.

Oh, I have, coolpowers! Some time ago, though, and honestly I'd forgotten about it until just now. Definitely an odd game :) I wonder if its makers were inspired by this video?
