That's all windier than a Mexican restaurant, motherfucking. restroom at dinner time, brothers.

If you want to like, come chill with me in PMs and let loose the gut goose. Play scooby-doo-who-the-fuck-are-you and all that. You're all welcome to come to arctic in the algorithm and chillie flakes with me, my internet investigators. I'm always down to spit out the scrolls and scribe some scriptures with my online other worlders.

Annoyance, non-RP? All the tutorials out there on how to use a kitchen knife that hold the thing wrong, totally wrong. It's wrong because it's unstable and less safe.

Holding it wrong.

And this guy is(was?) the editor of a publication devoted to food that ran a bunch of tutorials. And this isn't the only one.

Basically, great way to cut something on yourself. This guy needs to sharpen that knife.

I hate it when companies label animal bedding as being "non-dusty" or "dust extracted", because 9/10 times it turns out IT ISN'T *eye twitches* xD

Like, if I buy it dust extracted I DON'T expect to have a coughing fit induced when I open the bag and tip it into my pet's enclosure because of the, you guessed it, dust.

Whyyyyy ;w;

EA. Worst games company to have ever existed.

Preach it, bruh!

EA is a good publisher and don't deserve the bad reputation they have, not when there are way worse devs and studios out there that slip under the radar because they don't have the money or undue vitriol from people still pissed about Mass Effect 3 and DLC.

I mean, LJN was a thing. They were worse!

Ehhh I wouldnt say they are 'good' as much as just competent/passable. They make technically playable sports games for people who are into whatever sport, and there has never been a 'bad' battlefield game although none have them have been amazing either.

I'd say something like Namco-Bandai is a 'good' publisher/developer, maybe From Software if you can stomach the circlejerk.

Considering the number of games they help put out on a yearly basis and how many of those games are actually functional out of the box I'd say they earn the 'good' title. Certainly they're better than some of their contemporaries like Ubisoft and Activision. Even without Battlefield and sports games, EA has their fingers in a lot of pies that pop out the video game oven.

Being a better dev than ubisoft is like being a better swimmer than a barbell.

Like I said, they are passable but not good, and popping out a lot of games isnt nessecarily a good thing especially when you are releasing madden 2000 and god knows what with the same mechanics as the last 17 games. Battlefield is probably their best series and its average to decent. Need For Speed is one of the most offensively bad racing series I've ever played and this is coming from someone who owned Juiced.

EA isn't a better dev than Ubisoft; EA is a better publisher.

I'm curious, though, who is a good publisher? Namco-Bandai? Because I'd say EA has a better track record than Namco-Bandai. EA has had a bad year this year, what with Unravel and Mirror's Edge Catalyst, but they're still a good publisher and no publisher has a flawless record anyway. EA was an easy target for hatred because of DLC and other 'controversies' but sports and Battlefield 4's fiasco is just one part of the EA pie. I'm not saying they're the top of the list, but they're solidly in middle of the road territory when it comes to modern game releases.

@Fabricant451 EA is a better evrerything than Ubisoft. Everything is a better everything than ubisoft.

I honestly cant name one superb or even 'very good' EA game. Even if you are one of those cringe Battlefield Bad Company 2 virgins who hails it as the pinnacle of the series its hard to give that game anything more than a 8/10. Modern battlefield games from 3 onwards are fine, decent multiplayer FPS 'get what you pay for' timesink.

Need for speed games are dick, I'd compare them to sonic games, but sonic games started out not being absolute shit before they became absolute shit.

I cant even think of any other non-sports EA games. Oh well there is those god awful dragon age games, but the less said about them the better....

Namco Bandai knock out a lot of respectable RPGs which are by no means excellent, but not offensive and obviously Tekken and what not. I'd call them a good publisher and a good dev.

I honestly cant name one superb or even 'very good' EA game.

Dead Space, Dead Space 2, Mirror's Edge, Burnout 3, Burnout Paradise, Command and Conquer Red Alert, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, The Sims 2, Syndicate Wars, SSX Tricky, SSX 3, Sim City 2000, Rock Band 2, Bulletstorm, Def Jam Fight for NY, Freedom Force, Shogun Total War, Skate 2, System Shock 2.

Dragon AGe Origins is good.

I really hope you don't mean the Tales games because I can't.

@Fabricant451

Dragon Age is shit.

I'll give you the burnout and mass effect sequels. Maybe the sims.

Most of those games are just alright or 'good'.

Red Alert is a bad joke that never died. BulletStorm is crap.

Tales games are high quality, even if they arent your cup of tea, you cant say they are 'bad' games.
But I was thinking of Star Ocean and Nino Kuni.

Non-RPG examples are Ace Combat, Ridge Racer, Soul Calibur, Dark Souls 2 etc.

@Fabricant451

Dragon Age is shit.

I disagree.

Most of those games are just alright or 'good'.

I disagree.

Red Alert is a bad joke that never died.

They stopped making them.

BulletStorm is crap.

I disagree

Tales games are high quality, even if they arent your cup of tea, you cant say they are 'bad' games.

I can, have, do, and will. Tales games are bad. There has never been a good Tales game.

But I was thinking of Star Ocean and Nino Kuni.

Oh yeah Star Ocean there's a series that has never gotten out of the mediocre hole. Ni No Kuni is pretty and that's all it is; not to mention it didn't know how to end itself.

Non-RPG examples are Ace Combat, Ridge Racer, Soul Calibur, Dark Souls 2 etc.

Ace Combat hasn't been good since Zero. Ridge Racer since longer than that. Soul Calibur never and Dark Souls 2 is the literal worst one in the series and it's a bad game.

Your problem with tales stems from your much much larger issues with JRPGS in general.

Tales has superior combat and characterisation to Final Fantasy.

Dragon Quest is boring repetetive and stupid, people only like it because it's mildly self aware and not final fantasy.

Phantasy Star isnt even worth mentioning but all those games suck.

Whats another JRPG? Skies of Arcadia? pfft.

All Ace Combat games are good, they are too similar for any of them to stand out as bad, ditto for Ridge.

They made 3 red alerts which is 3 too many, stupid RTS for morons who like cable tv crap.

Calling Star Ocean mediocre is rich coming from someone who considers Syndicate Wars to be a superb game.

Soul calibur is a better fighting game than def jam.

Your problem with tales stems from your much much larger issues with JRPGS in general.

No, it stems from Tales games being terrible, cliche ridden, unoriginal, boring, bland bad pieces of shit games.

Tales has superior combat and characterisation to Final Fantasy.

The only thing Tales has is its combat system and it's not even great at that. Tales is the JRPG series for people that think anime is the maturest form of story telling.

Dragon Quest is boring repetetive and stupid, people only like it because it's mildly self aware and not final fantasy.

Dunno why you're bringing up Dragon Quest but any Dragon Quest game is better than any Tales game by a country mile.

Phantasy Star isnt even worth mentioning but all those games suck.

Phantasy Star 4 is a fantastic game.

Whats another JRPG? Skies of Arcadia? pfft.

Any SMT game. Chrono Trigger/Cross. Suikoden 1, 2, and 5. Parasite Eve. Illusion of Gaia. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. Rogue Galaxy. Breath of Fire 2, 3, 4. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. Grandia 1 and 2. Nier.

All Ace Combat games are good, they are too similar for any of them to stand out as bad, ditto for Ridge.

I mean, if you can say Dragon Age is shit then I can just say Ace Combat and Ridge Racer are shit too.

They made 3 red alerts which is 3 too many, stupid RTS for morons who like cable tv crap.

I bet you thought the story was serious. While not as great as regular ass C&C, Red Alert is still great.

Calling Star Ocean mediocre is rich coming from someone who considers Syndicate Wars to be a superb game.

Because it is? You know what game in the Star Ocean series people like? 2. Because it's the only one that isn't fucking dogshit. Syndicate Wars is great, with a great atmosphere and setting and mechanics that were solid in its day. Star Ocean is a bad series and somehow the newest one is even worse than 4.

Soul calibur is a better fighting game than def jam.

Soul Calibur has had 5 games and they're all junk. Def Jam is hardly a fighting game, it's an action brawler like a wrestling game. If you wanna say it's better than Def Jam Icon then yeah, but Icon is hot garbage.

EA. Worst games company to have ever existed.

Considering they're smack dab in the middle of the Voice actors strike right now for not taking care of their actors.... they're on my 'do not buy' list.

I would just like to have a short little rant myself about how my parents were so gracious to spend $100 plus tax on a pre-order for COD: Infinite Warfare so me and my brothers could have beta access this weekend only to find out that EVERYONE got beta access on Sunday for free.

Words cannot describe how disappointed and sickened I am with my own species.

I live in world where it is socially acceptable to sexually harass and rape a woman, and threaten women with sexual violence and even death over something as simple as video games.

What world is this because I'm not sure it's this one.

This is a world where a woman is not allowed to exist without the threat of rape, torture and death looming over them if they dare to speak out.

Do you need a wormhole to leave this horrible world? It's better here.
