Ohh you... EA isn't that bad...

Just because they did that recently with Xcom, Thief, and Syndicate in a row... it doesn't mean they will continue doing it constantly with other titles.
You *do* realize EA has fuck-all to do with X-COM, right? It's been made by Firaxis and published by 2K.

And Thief is a Square-Enix game. Syndicate's the only game there that has anything to do with EA.

Whoops sorry.

They are just such bland "Make it like an already popular game but keep the name because we need brand recognition" fan screwing Interpretations of the material I guess I just assumed it was EA out of habit.

Also I don't mean the Firaxis Xcom game. I was referring to the Mass Effect Shooter Xcom game... which I can never spell because I can never spell Bureau.

Which is funny because the Bureau is the only one that actually had the potential to be good of the three.

Edit: Just in case... No I am not joking. For some reason I remembered those three games as made by EA simply because... well... it is kind of a EA thing to do.

I was taken by a fey mood yesterday and started writing intentionally incredibly bad fanfiction.

I have no idea why I decided to write this, but reading it back after writing it is funny as hell.
Could you post an excerpt, just for fun? I doubt it's even that bad.

On the flip side, the worse you can make it, the more we'll enjoy reading it.

Also 2K, this time as developer too. Do your research.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I intend to post it to fanfiction.net at some point.

Tried browsing the web and forums on my phone while I was out at a bookstore. Shit feels weird. I don't get how people can do this for fun. The ui feels horribly clunky and clumsy. I'd much rather use a computer or laptop or just go without.

A proper PC is infinitely better, but I've managed to knock together enough custom configs that it's tolerable on my phone. Sufficiently so that I like to imagine it's difficult to tell whether I'm using my phone or laptop. Factory default was horrific, though.

Law and Order: The Trial of Jack McCoy
Oh my. You weren't kidding. That is pure gold. Still, I think you could have taken it up another notch to make it clear it's a parody. I can imagine someone to write that poorly unintentionally.

* IcyTea31 looks lamentatively at himself eight years or so ago.

I'm not even sure if that's criticism or a compliment.

It looks unintentional? Good, that's what I was going for.

While I'm sure that is indeed what's going on down at Valve headquarters, I feel I should point out that Valve runs Dota 2, not League of Legends. :v
