The endlessly deep Mariana Trench pockets of Electronic Arts have provided money for the above to happen. Tanks, in London, because EA has another little war game coming out quite soon.
The promotional “Tanksis” were out and about in small numbers outside Waterloo Station today, and will also be making appearances around the more accessible parts of London tomorrow, to alert people who don’t have their fingers on the pulse of digital media to the launch of EA’s Battlefield 3 on console.
If you’re lucky, you’ll get a free ride. [EA]
Might change the typical taxi conversation:
Been busy?
“YES, I HAVE DEMOLISHED SEVERAL BUILDINGS AND KILLED 38 INNOCENT PEOPLE”
Working late?
“UNTIL I DESTROY SOME MORE THINGS”
You’ve got to wonder what the fine for vomming in a tank’s backseat is, too.
Not that I know the price of a taxi vom, of course…
Is there a fine for that?
its just frowned upon….just like mas……… on an airplane……
Yeh, it varies depending on cabbie, but average seems to be £50. Or so my friends tell me…
Tanks for the article Gary …
On a more serious note. I can’t wait for this for my xbox
£50 seems to be quoted in some taxis.
Down here in sunny (?) devon, they drive back to the rank, you pay about 30 quid and are handed a bucket / cloth etc.
yep, you pay them for the privilege of cleaning up your mess!
I’d prefer ‘Tanxi’ – and I have know idea why!
Thank you for listening
