that i gave that site a hit: spell check, proof read, and edit....not hard.

Is this really necessary? What marketing guy came up with this?

Rock Bottom5500d ago (Edited 5500d ago )

Can we get our bribes back... Please?

You know what's sad? People calling them promotion gifts.

Raz5500d ago

Niiice, EA. Can we still keep the garrote wire and the .357 Mag? So we can, uh, 'properly dispose' of a few other things?

I tell ya one thing; whoever came up with this brilliant idea's going to be sleeping with the fishes. And EA might just get whacked too - with a lawsuit.

Thank you for letting me know, I make these types of mistake all the time because English is not my first language.

Don't mind him bro, he's a douche.
Keep up the good work.

Lotard35500d ago (Edited 5500d ago )

Wait, but didn't they give a cigar in there too? Kids can still keep those? Those brass knuckles look so sweet.
Someone call the Ghostbusters, the Phantom Disagreer is around.

It's time to remember a hidden gem of a mafia game: Godfather II

On the eve of Mafia III, it's a good time to recall this diamond in the rough. Yes, seriously. It was great.

Godfather 2 was great, it was basic but fun.

5 Hilarious Video Game Industry Screw Ups

Kotaku: "When an industry is made-up of almost equal parts society-changing brilliance and playboy man-child syndrome, it's bound to generate some exceptionally stupid ideas."

That's not racism in the Netherlands. As a matter of fact, the black and white thing is a product of good old American stupidity, save for a few parts of Africa....

The LBP thing wasn't funny. It was actually pretty stupid. You know what? Most of this list was not funny.

How about that time EA staged a boycott of Dante's Inferno and got caught?

Or that whole Wii Music thing a few E3s ago.

Or, you know...something that's actually funny?

Anyway...the whole thing was 3 Sony screw ups and 2 EA. I'd hardly call that the video game industry...

Another well written and smart article trying anything to get some hit. I can think of many other thing that are actually funny like the Riiiiiiiidge racer one or even the Ms e3 puncho and their presentation of skittle ( shudder ) .
