Kochalka's PlayStation 3 Interface Problems
If in doubt - we run a random story that cartoonist, musician, game weirdo James Kochalka mails us - only this one doesn't have an accompanying illustration of Zelda with some Cool Ranch Doritos, which is most disappointing. But it does have something PS3 related, so we forgive him! Here goes:
"Here's a link to the official theme song [.MP3 link] to the SuperF*ckers comic book by James Kochalka. It's got one awesome gaming-related line, "Our dicks are stuck in the Playstation 3"." Uhh... right! Here's the lyrics:
"SuperF*ckers (Theme Song)
© 2005 James Kochalka
We're always in our clubhouse getting high
SuperF*ckers!
Everybody wishes we would die
SuperF*ckers!
Here we come, like a bomb,
everybody run and hide.
Our dicks are stuck in the Playstation 3
SuperF*ckers!
Everybody wishes they could be
SuperF*ckers!
Here we come, like a bomb,
Everybody f*ckin' run and hide."
Kochalka ends by explaining, handily: "Of course I wrote it about a year before the Playstation 3 actually came out, so there was no way to predict the lackluster response that the Playstation 3 has actually received. I think that just makes the song funnier now, though." I don't know, I'm not really sure Phil Harrison is laughing?

Do you guys plan on NOT being Kotaku-like by not writing about biased crap like this?

Lighten up, it's just a joke. I thought it was funny. The song reminds me of a chorus of one of the songs in Jet Set Radio. Can't look it up because sadly my Dreamcast died.

I'm with the first commenter. If I wanted trash like this, I'd read Kotaku or Joystiq.
I expected better from GameSetWatch.

Wait, do people really think this relates to whether we think the PS3 is any good or not? Or even whether Kochalka does or not? Uh-oh.

Guitar Vader's "Super Brothers" at a guess.

I think the song could be read as a comment on all the PS3 haters, that they're just jealous. Just like folks are jealous of the SuperF*ckers themselves.
