A little bit of whimsy to end the week on. Voucher Codes Pro conducted a survey of UK citizens, asking them if their partners played video games, and then to rate their performance in bed. 46% were rated at “average” or below at sex, which is a bit upsetting, but broken down by platform, things get quite interesting. 54% of Xbox 360-playing bedmates scored “good” or better, and 22% were described as “excellent”. The Wii U was the next best-ranked, and the PC was lowest. This is all pretty silly and no numbers were provided, so don’t start a flame war, but I thought you’d like to know.

Thanks, That VideoGame Blog.

Capcom executive Christian Svensson has promised to share data with the Japanese arm in January, so get cracking.

Thanks, Siliconera.

Namco Bandai has opened a survey asking fans to vote on which of four looks they like best for Pac-Man, as well as what platforms they use the most and some basic demographic information.

Thanks, Gematsu.
