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.

Trailer: ‘Beyond the Game’ Is Dope Documentary About Gaming Culture(s).
It should be noted that I love the various (sub)cultures that I’m a part of. Gamers, comic book fans, heavy metal dorks, whatever. I’m not the sort that walks down a Comic-Con alley with a derisive grin. I’m a dork, I like it. So a documentary about the various cultures that the gaming community is composed of gets me excited.

An industry veteran recently told CNN that only one out of ten gamers complete their games. Apparently he brought along a whole pile of studies and the such to corroborate this fact. I can provide anecdotal evidence: I have a lot of friends who buy a lot of games, and to say their backlog is voluminous is to play it safe.

Old Republic Called ‘As Interesting As A Naboo Trade Blockade’. Not Surprised.
I am a Star Wars nerd. I like MMOs. You’d think the two would mix into some delicious concoction for me. Nope. While I have friends throwing rope and counting the minutes until it comes out, nothing – nothing – I’ve seen about it convinces me it’s anything but another MMO. With a bloated budget, too much voice work, and the monolithic Star Wars hype train pushing it.
Luke Plunkett at Kotaku confirms my anxieties.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Gets November Release Date. Good Lord.
Even previous to this news. November to my wallet: fuck you. November to my school work: fuck you. November to my sanity: fuck you. The month in games was already too much, now it’s threatening to break me. I never thought I’d actually lament a much-anticipated game’s release date as being too close, but here it is.

There’s a new Uncharted 3 trailer. What else is there to say? I watched it over my girlfriend’s house, and she had a watch a grown-ass man-child audibly moan and paw at the screen like a confused household pet. Do need this. Now.
