Looks Like A Carmine Might Survive Gears Of War 3
We all love traditions, and Epic Games' habit of killing off a different Carmine brother in each Gears of War installment was quickly becoming one of our favorites. But with Gears of War 3, the company decided to leave the fate of the third Carmine brother up to the participants of an online charity, and so far, people have been voting to save the unlucky grunt.
Epic says that the race is close and voting doesn't end until September 2, but if the voting trend doesn't change, the Carmines will finally have someone to carry on the family name. Players can vote for the fate of Carmine by buying one of the above shirts for Microsoft's stupid Avatars. I thought the fact that you're spending real money on a fake digital shirt would be upsetting enough to make voters doom Carmine. Then again, the people voting are donating their money to Child's Play, so we probably shouldn't underestimate their propensity for kindness.
