Distraught with being unable to buy off Yahoo, it appears that the house that Bill built have set their sights a tad lower. Earlier today Microsoft India have ensured total control over the popular gaming network, theAngryPixel.com – for a slice of cheesecake.

Speaking to the media on the occasion, TAP representative Abhinav Pattanayak had said, “We tried our best to stall this from happening but the lure of money, inflatable dolls…err babes and free lifetime RRoD warranty ended up being too tempting… but the most tempting offer of it all was this slice of cake, so delicious and moist.”, after which he proceeded to cozy up to life-size standees of Cortana and GlaDos.

“I don’t see how this is a problem. From now on, TAP will function as an integral part of MS, replacing the Xbox India forums as the official hub for every Indian gamer’s queries. And when I mean integral, i mean it won’t function at all. Just like MS’s forums. Mmmm… caaaake!”, said Vijay Sinha while sitting in a jacuzzi filled with fully-functional Sega Dreamcast consoles.

While most TAP members applauded the move, there were some outside the community who felt abandoned and let down.

“Who will critique my writing style?! Where will I get an unbiased opinion about how bad I am? Who will own my ass in Halo 3?! We offered our site to Microsoft at half the price they got TAP for, but they still refused!”, bawled Neelesh Mukherjee of GameGuru.in as he proceeded towards the MS office located in Delhi – shotgun, explosives and an inflatable Mohit Anand doll in tow.

No word on this, however, has been heard from the Keeper of the TAP Gates, Krishnan Rajagopal, who was last seen purchasing a copy of Windows ME for the price of half a soul and two fudge brownies.
