World's Strongest Man Goes Mobile Game Crazy!
Let's not play, here - there was only one major piece of gaming news over the last 24 hours: "Breakpoint, part of MNI SA group, is creating a mobile [cellphone] game featuring the World’s Strongest Man – Mariusz Pudzianowski... Thanks to the game the player will have a chance to become the World’s Strongest Man, taking part in an unusual take on the famous strength competition. Instead of the usual disciplines, the player will compete in a series of unique tests of strength and endurance from all over the world... and some completely out of this world!"
Wait, wait, we feel a quote from the man himself coming on: “Mobile games provide entertainment to anyone with a mobile phone” – ‘Pudzian’ commented – “Now everybody will be able to feel like a Strong Man, even while waiting at a bus stop”. (In case you were wondering, licensors Breakpoint are Polish compatriots of 'Pudzian', hence the keen local interest.)
But wait, that's not all: "While working on the game, Breakpoint’s team came up with several other ideas, including a lifestyle application that utilized Mariusz’s bodybuilding know-how, as well as an action game in which he would fight crime. These projects are to be undertaken following the success of the first game." Yep, 'Pudzian' is such a beefcake that he can predict cellphone game success, too. Though I will say that I really enjoy watching World's Strongest Man when it pops up at weird times on ESPN2 or similar channels.

If he says it's going to entertain me and be successful, who am I to argue? That man could punch a hole clean through Superman.
