I've only just now played Battlefield 3 as my old computer wasn't up to the task and I heard PETA complained about the part where you kill a rat. You spend the whole game killing countless people yet killing the rat could have "a brutalising effect on the young male target audience." :roll:

On the subject of women in video games, here's 35 ways to die in the new Tomb Raider (not for the faint of heart so I didn't embed):

Having a female lead exposes her to the sort of violence normally only visited on male characters, I have to say that personally I find it very jarring to watch. Still, equality right? ;)

I had dreams of doing some desert kubelwagen style aesthetic mods to my quad but it seems unlikely I'm going to find the time at this point :roll:

I'm glad of the backlash, if anything it brings the fundamentalist agenda of organisations like this one: http://adainitiative.org/ to the public eye.
