PETA Claims ‘Battlefield 3’ Will Turn You Into Animal Murderer. Oh C’mon Now.
You have to hand it to PETA. Somehow a group that is designed to protect animals generally comes off like unbearably pious pricks. That’s difficult. From what I’ve gathered via the news reports, there’s a moment of Battlefield 3 when you kill a rat. PETA has come to the obvious conclusion that this will turn us into animal-destroying blood drinks.

‘Battlefield 3’ Sells 5 Million Copies In First Week. Your Move, Modern Warfare.
The Battlefield/Modern Warfare 3 throwdown finally got underway last week with the release of BF3. After the first week, EA covered in fluids and with a Devil’s smile announced that their title has launched to the tune of 5 million sold.
Battlefield Publisher Talks Trash, Predicts Call of Duty’s Death In 2-3 Years.
I love the Battlefield and Call of Duty PR war that’s going on right now. This isn’t some cutesie television campaign that’s poking fun at one or the other. No way! This is EA spokesperson Jeff Brown going full fucking tilt. Spitting some hot fire. Comparing Call of Duty to Tony Hawk. Snap son. Snap.
ModernWarfare3.com Redirects To Official Battlefield 3 Website. Amazing.
Activision and EA are going at one another big this winter. Battlefield 3 is getting released around the same time as Modern Warfare 3, in a direct challenge of CoD’s sales dominance. Some interesting side-battle cropped up this week. You see, ModernWarfare3.com now redirects the surfer to the official Battlefield 3 website.
Corporate slap fight!
Press Start!: It’s E3. Gimmicky Controllers, TVs, and Franchises.
Press Start!, the week of E3. There was a time when E3 was a wondrous occasion. Those days are gone now, like leaves from a tree. With the advent of the Internet, everything is known weeks prior. Secrets exposed, dissected. Shit is passé before it’s even revealed. Take for example Nintendo’s Wii U. While I’ll admit that seeing any new console in motion gets me up, it would have truly blown my asshole out if they could have kept the entirety of it secret until the conference.
With that in mind, let us not spend the entirety of our fleeting brain-focus-capacities on regurgitating the quasi-reveals and appreciable moments of the Big Three at the show. Let us instead turn our ADD-addled brains towards shooting the shit about the show. Deal? Press Start!’s usual conceit is pressed pause in lieu of some geek spit.
