Some of the others (in no particular order):

  1. Looks like its rump roast for dinner! (Cameron Orr)
  2. It's what I've always wanted! An Assmaster 2000! (Gerald Lee)
  3. Showing extreme emotional control, Ruben's friends quietly watch as he mounts his "Boy George" inflatable doll gift. (Mark ???)
  4. The 3D Realms staff stands around watching Ruben deflate his new present of an inflatable sex doll. Now it isn't that he didn't appreciate the gift, but just like every other female he's ever met she turned him down too. (Duane Shields)
  5. Ruben discovers that he has unintentionally opened the wrong pakage when he finds a Britney Spears blow up doll. (Jason Shick)
  6. Break dancing has never been the same since the '80s ended. (Adam Rofer)
  7. "Come On seven! Baby needs a new pair of shoes!" (Eric Kowalski)
  8. Aren't you glad I'm not a plumber? (Leon Durham)
  9. "Subject,Ruben Cabrera. Repeated felon. Considered armed and extremely dangerous, but only when standing behind him." (Shaun Finney)
  10. In a recent 3D Realms baby shower diaper-changing contest, Ruben got dead last in speed, but scored bonus points for creativity by squeezing a full diaper that exploded all over the room, seconds after this photo was taken! (Don Chin)
  11. "Oh please be a Matt Wood doll! Please please oh please"! (G. Rhodes)
  12. "Allright! The keg's up to pressure now! Who's ready for an ice-cold Shiner Bock?" (Lee Jackson)
  13. You think he's scary from this side? Wait 'til he turns around. (Lee Jackson)

And of course...

  • "With Chris, Keith, and Steve blocking, Ruben prepares to punt the copy of Xenophage." (Matt Novotny)

  • The fully rendered foes are the largest, most detailed characters even seen in a fighting game, nearly as tall as the entire screen...the "nasty surprise" of Xenophage is finally revealed to the public. (Edwin Herdman)
