Hitler was neither christian or atheist. He believed in the occult. This is my favorite part: he believed that the "True Aryan" race were descendents of Atlantians who escaped before Atlantis sunk and were living in the Himilayas. He sent many SS troops to search for them, so he could create the ultimate race by breeding Germans with the Atlantians.

You're right history is fun!

Holy crap, are you serious? I knew Hitler was crazy, but there's gotta be a limit.

Did PETA actually play this game, or just completly give it the barest glance?

Dog Fighter 3: Bitedown didn't peak their interest?

It's because Michael Vick wasn't included as a player character.

I'm assuming the latter, because this is PETA we're talking about.

(WARNING: in extreme cases vegetarianism may result in genocide).

Ah crap... ah well, there's nothing left for me to do except commit genocide.

Considering that everything they've said about this game is stuff I, who's never played it, knew, I guess the latter.

One wonders if they even bothered to look at Valkyria Chronicles. When the games central character is a major nature lover who is only able to win these battle by being in harmony with nature and the animals around him.....

I definitely felt that the game was a little biased towards tofu and vegetables. It seems like everything else made you fat and you even got morality points for eating veggies.

Actually, I'd forgotten about the crunchy chicks... And the rabbits... Gosh, PETA really dropped the ball on this one.

So, keep them away from Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty: World at War, or they'll go ballistic.

I don't really give a damn what PETA thinks, they're a bunch of eco-terrorist funding, bass-ackwards morons that wouldn't know logic or reason if it scooted its ass along their carpet.

They annoy me to no end, telling me keeping a pet is animal slavery and comparing slaughtering chickens to the holocaust... I'm going to throw some leftover KFC at their door.

PLANTS ARE LIVING THINGS TOO YA KNOW! THOSE MONSTER VEG-HEADS! :D

Haha, I had forgotten about that as well. Eat 5 live chicks to gain entrance. I guess they missed that.

That aspect of it is highly suspect - the story of the origin of the one true race supposedly goes that way, but its highly suspect whether r not Hitler actually believed it word for word, or if he merely thought there was a grain of truth to it.

What about the part where that bandit puts a boot to your dog's face? That's not animal friendly, and knowing how petty PETA is...

Do everyone who has yet to play a favor and /spoiler that - it was spoiled for me and I couldent bring myself to play it anymore

On a more...related note, dont the PETA have better things to do then play video games? All of Fable 2s animal cruelty aside, I didnt even realize that the PETA had a game of the year...and the fact that they do makes me lose....who am I kidding? I have no respect for them. (though I do love animals.)

This reminds me of something a friend said to me...she got really upset that I killed wildlife in Fallout 3, especially the dogs. She just didn't get that they were data and pixels in a game. Seems that PETA is just pushing this craziness to a whole new level.

As PETA sees it, Fable 2 has a "strong pro vegetarian theme" because "eating a plant-based diet helps you rack up 'purity' points, wheras eating meat makes your character fat and evil...[Fable 2] is an effective tool that teaches gamers the real-life benefits of a vegetarian diet."

I don't see how eating meat will make me grow into a fat, pale old man with horns who becomes immensely feared and disliked by all. The PETA has a very strange concept of realism.

it seems that no matter how much celery my holy character wolfs down, he still looks really, really fat.

Well im a vegetarian and don't consider us all hippies. I hate hippies. I once launched a skatebboard into the side of one. It was acutally an accident, but i felt good about it.
But that NRA remark really hits the point.

This seems rather ludicrous to me, especially considering that they're taking a very small part of the game and blowing it way out of context. Plus, the whole "Meat = evil!" thing is just stupid. Will they make lions eat tofu?

I thought we all knew by now that PETA was composed of nothing but complete idiots.

Also, for everyone who gargles the whole "vegetarians are death free!" bullshit: Plants are alive too hypocrite. In fact they can live after a long while after being pulled by the root. In other words: You're most likely eating them alive.

That was the whole point of the Tughle Society (I hope I spelt it right). Wolfenstein isn't actually all that ludicrous if you know that the Nazis were actually trying to do crazy shit like that.

I thought he was looking for the Spear of Destiny there (aka Spear of Longinus).

On Topic: PETA... (facepalm) They cant do anything right.

The Spear of Destiny was an exhibit in the Brandenburg Museum, which Hitler saw as a student and apparently it was the power emanating from it which inspired him to do all his wacky Hitler stuff, he layed eyes on it and realised it was his destiny to poessess the Spear and take over the world.
One of the 1st things he did when he came to power was to take possession of the Spear personally, and the rest as they say, is history.

Back on topic:

Did PETA not play the childhood quests, where the morally good choice you have as a child is to kill all the beetles in the warehouse?

Did they not read the descriptions of some of the dyes which were fashionably made from animals?

What about the fact the the dog only exists to do your bidding? It has no life of it's own, it's only purpose is to find treasure and to fight, it's slave animal (Collar of Binding) who's very existence is dependant on it's usefulness to it's owner (end game choices).

PETA couldn't be less full of shit if they were colonically irrigated with a fire-hose.
