World Cup 2010 Blog: “EA Sports Plays Out Euro 2012 So No One Else Has To” plus 1 more |  |
| EA Sports Plays Out Euro 2012 So No One Else Has To Posted: 31 May 2012 09:15 AM PDT
Every single tournament, EA Sports launches simulation series to determine the winner ahead of time. They nailed Spain’s World Cup 2010 win, but then so did an octopus. Was it really all that impressive? They’ve run out Euro 2012 for us, letting everyone know that Germany’s going to come home with the title by beating the Dutch – conquerors of the Spanish – in the final. Robin van Persie ends the tournament with the golden boot, too, so basically this whole thing is just a continuation of form. Which is precisely how it’s supposed to work.
The most disappointing portion of it all is that it’s so plausible, so likely. Who wants reality in their video games? Hell, who wants reality in their reality? The stuff dreams are made of does not come from the standard stock. It comes from psychedelic drugs, which is how we want our major tournaments to play out.

| FEMEN Erects A Masculine Protest Posted: 31 May 2012 07:59 AM PDT
FEMEN’s remaining high profile with their protests, but the mainstream coverage indicates they might be getting a bit more creative with said protests. Which can only benefit everybody, if it might detract from the statement slightly. A couple of young ladies found the landscaped mascots in Kiev this morning. Comedy might not be their intention, but it was damn sure achieved. Very NSFW documentation after the jump – topless woman in a hilarious penis suit. (Serious.)
