Video Games These Days

Nathan hooked Casey and I up with Battlefield 3 from EA at a great price. We all thought it would be a bonding experience to cooperatively storm the castle together and rescue the princess. And it is, and it’s fun. The only problem? The game’s audio track was recorded in the a middle school sound room. There is swearing everywhere in the single player and occasionally in multiplayer.

Now Pace, what do you expect!? It’s a war game, it’s just like war. You should appreciate how life like it is. Let me tell you, if I was in a squad with guys who talked like this and they didn’t shut up, I would shoot them in the foot. But I can’t do that in the game. They just keep on swearing.

SO, what’s a guy to do!? Easy, change the games spoken language to spanish so I have no clue what they are saying and start a petition of course! As I would have the choice to tell people to stop swearing in real life, I’d like EA to add an option to turn off explicit language. If you think swearing in video games should be optional, please hit the mouse a few times and sign my petition and/or share it. Thanks!

World Fair

Isn’t it great how the internet acts like the world fair? Instead of having to wait for a convention, I can see what the future could be like whenever a company wants to release a marketing video. Here’s one that is really well done! What’s really crazy is that this tech was demonstrated at CES this year, so it might not be too far off.
