Sunday Comics: Dead Island The folks at Dorkly pride themselves on the ability to solve gaming’s great unsolved mysteries. For example, if Ash choose Charmander and Gary chooses Squirtle, what happens to Bulbasaur?
Last week, the People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, ticked off a lot of people who like video games. But maybe the gamers shouldn’t have been so upset about that whole “Mario Kills Tanooki” thing?
Don’t buy Ashcraft’s explanation about why PETA is completely missing the point in its attack on Mario’s Tanooki suit? Here’s an animal friendly way to get your own temporary fur coat. Be warned, it involves rotting food, duct tape and probably just a smidge of leptospirosis.
That bizarre Mario vs PETA kerfuffle’s fading into the rear view, but that’s not stopping Taiwanese media outfit Next Media Animation from giving us their askew take on the dust-up. Looking at their oddly shaped version of Mario is enough to give a person nightmares.
The People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is expressing outrage over Mario’s Tanooki Suit. That outrage is not only misplaced, but shows PETA’s complete lack of cultural understanding–traditional or contemporary.
You may remember that PETA created Super Tofu Boy, a pointless response to Super Meat Boy — a game that wasn’t encouraging a single person to eat more or less meat. Now, I’m embarrassed to give further coverage to Mario Kills Tanooki — a response, I’m assuming, to Super Mario 3D Land. Apparently by allowing players to use a Tanooki suit, Mario is sending the message that it’s okay to wear fur.
The German arm of the animal rights group, PETA, has issued a press release accusing Battlefield 3 developer, DICE, of encouraging sadistic and violent behaviour towards animals through its rat-stabbing gameplay option.
Michael Vick, who returned to the NFL in 2009 after a two-year prison sentence for running a dogfighting ring, was the second-biggest winner (by percentage) in the first round of EA Sports’ fan-voted playoff for the Madden NFL 12 cover.
A cat innocently wanders by his owner playing Kinect and is accidentally kicked across the room directly into the camera. Do you want to watch that? Hell yeah! But is it fake? You make the call!
