Battlefield 3 – Xbox 360 Open Beta Impressions
It looks like Electronic Arts is tired of letting Activision hold the monopoly on holiday blockbuster military shooters. It’s not that their Battlefield series has done poorly, it’s sold millions of copies, but it’s also not quite the household name that Call of Duty is. Battlefield 3 marks the franchise’s first major iteration in years and while it’s been primarily PC-based, EA wants to bring the experience to the consoles in a big way as it had previously brought the narrative-driven Bad Company games to that table. As someone who played plenty of 1942 (with Desert Combat) and Battlefield 2, I do have some faith in DICE’s abilities to satisfy. Today the public (read: not merely people who pre-ordered at <specific retailer> and got a code) were given a small slice of the game’s multiplayer mode ahead of its October 25th release date. So how was it?

Halving Holiday Hires, Best Buy Says: Shoppers, Good Luck!
For retail lifers, the holiday season is your dowsing rod on the passage of time. You spend one month gearing up, two months sustaining (enduring, really), and a final month winding down, explaining to customers that you just don’t have that damn thing they’re asking for in stock. Still, as someone who has ten (TEN!) of those under my belt, retail holidays were always something to love and hate, both with similar passions. One important aspect was the part-time holiday help who are much like clay: they can be formed to dispense quick advice, redirect customers, ring people out, or simply thrown down as planks when something gives out, then promptly disposed of by February. They don’t need super intense knowledge, but they are necessary to keep the wheels at the store running in a time of stress. This year, Best Buy announced that they’re cutting their holiday hires by half and will have their standard employees go overtime to make up for it. Well, thankfully I don’t work retail anymore.
