not sure if to put this in gameworld or....

But everything is allowed in here, and nobody really cares.

kinda funny read, the best is:


5. Jumping

Why stop at owning graphical engines? EA needs to move into licensing core game concepts. Once EA buys the exclusive rights to jumping, they'll have shut Nintendo and Sony out of their biggest moneymakers. Future platform games will have to be designed around elements such as c
rawling under stuff.

4. On/Off Switches
No, not in game, I mean actual, physical on/off switches. All electronic devices have them, meaning it's an ideal market for Electronic Arts. Furthermore, it's another industry where consolidation can make a big impact. ALL of your devices have an on/off switch. What wasted resources. EA can merge them into a big switch that turns off everything. Or, they can experiment with unique new business models, such as switches that turn on for free but require a micropayment to turn off, unless you pay a monthly "all you can switch" subscription fee.

Good idea :shifty:

According to my son EA are the source of 85% of all known evil in the universe (or something like that) He was showing me something the other day to do with sports with spoof titles for EA games. The price $99.99 (like you have a choice?)

I take it they are not the best games company then?

I think they should make the employees of EA and Microsoft fight to the death in the streets.

Last man standing rules the world. :01:

Bit worrying how Busyman's double posts are 20 minutes apart. It's almost as if he posted, went down the offie for some crisps and Woodpecker and posted again because no-one had replied :fear:

FakeEdit: GawdshyteSo in a couple of months we'll bitch and then in another couple of months instead of BusyWorld we'll move to phbb because Brian talked to some bloke in the pub that said it rawked and that he'd transfer us there as long as Brian bought him a pork pie.

Then IKE will make PollWorld to shut us up :01:
