Why We Think PETA are Attention Hacks: PETA says Mario Kills Tanooki
5
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, more commonly known as PETA, has launched a campaign against one of the defining icons of the 90s; PETA is shooting down Super Mario Brothers for wearing what they claim is the skin of a raccoon dog referencing the character’s ability in Super Mario Bros. 3 where Mario dons a raccoon or tanooki suit, or as PETA calls it, a raccoon dog. PETA has launched a microsite dedicated to just this issue asking for pledges and they even have a game for it. Moreover, they timed all this to coincide with the recent launch of Nintendo’s Super Mario 3D Land.

Irish funnyman Dara O’ Briain is probably as good as unknown in this part of the world, but that’s not stopping him from getting a solid round of laughter from us thanks to this routine.

Why Do You Think You Deserve to be Called a Gamer?

Disclaimer: any comments positive or not are welcome. This is a personal view and does not really express the thoughts of all the back2gaming staff.
In the information age, self-entitlement is a common thing (and problem). With blogging getting easier by the moment, it doesn’t take a person who has gone through a whole course in IT to get one up and then call themselves the authority in anything they decide to focus on . Back2Gaming in itself isn’t run by IT experts, heck among the staff, writers outnumber the IT peeps one to two.
Self-entitlement is not just rampant in the blogging scene, but the gaming world as well. Games have evolved from consoles to pcs to online and even social networks these days provide flash games for the bored. The title “Gamer” has been passed around these days that it has become hard to tag if what they claim is true or not.

10 Reasons Why You SHOULD Date a Gamer
28Disclaimer: This piece is entirely for amusement. Please don’t take me too seriously.
Do a quick search on google on why you should date a gamer and you’d be bombarded with reasons why you should NOT. Gamers have a bad rep about being bad lovers. No, it’s not really about the sex. It’s about not having time for our partners. We are always portrayed as the selfish bastards who would readily cancel a date for another hour or two of Starcraft. We’re always the bad guys, always the inconsiderate ones.
It’s time we remedy this blasphemy.
