My favorite is the guy at 2:27. Screams, slams fists into table, flings object into distance, gives handshake. I may be full of white hot rage, but god drat if I’m going to show poor sportsmanship. I respect that. Better than the guy who tries to handshake people’s arms out of their sockets.

Back in the 80s, a Hungarian chef living in Australia (I believe was descended from Hungarian nobility as well) would go into fancy restaurants and hotels, buy the most expensive food and then split before the bill came.

This was how it wound up.

Apparently EA removed a convenient 'refund' button, instead making it necessary to talk to service rep to cancel your preorder.

It's like EA saw what the president of Take Two said and realized that they'd lose their status as most hated publisher.

Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives.
IIRC she was drunk and the car was stolen. After the gif cuts off the car proceeded to hit a car on the other side of the road, another car didn't stop in time and ran into the car that her car hit and hers ended up hitting some trees.

Fake edit: some googling shows that she was arrested but released, charged again, didn't show up for court, was eventually caught again months later and plead not guilty, after which the court decided to have her evaluated for mental illness. Bizarre.

I like her strut after she jumps out of the care. I can't tell if she's just trying to act like nothing's happening or legitimately doesn't care.

Reddit is now demanding an Ask Me Anything session with EACommunity like the PR team is going to be able to discuss motivations and processes around business decisions.

It just sucks because the system EA has in place (decision-makers never have to explain themselves to the customers, PR team is deliberately left in the dark) is working exactly as intended for a huge company and a whoooole lot of very angry people don't seem to get it.

edit: I can't stop cringing at this poo poo, oh my god

kind of amazing this pud is all "dont you realize how much gamers hate EA" when talking about how much he wants to buy an EA game

i hate EA too. i've hated them for years. they are awful. which is why im not getting all hopping mad about an EA game sucking, like we all knew it would. i dont know where this entitlement comes from

pretty much, at least sports fans are well aware of when they're tied to a lovely franchise that they love anyway. gamers feel like they're personally owed the game of their dreams from a known huge developer who doesn't give a drat and then gamers get all salty when it turns out the exploitative huge company dumped out another mediocre game to squeeze optimal dollars from them

gamers will rightfully scream about how horrible EA is and what a track record they have for buying good studios and murdering them, but... just dont buy their games. you dont have to play Generic Star Wars Shooter 4. there have never been more good games to play. i can't keep up with them all. play something else
