Title: A sad day in video gaming
Post by: 20th anny 5.o on March 04, 2008, 07:44:40 PM
Ea is trying to acquire Take 2, that will add to their list of recently acquired companys Bioware,Pandemic,Mythic and DICE. Alot of the share holders of Take 2 have already green lighted the merger. The only hold outs are 2 out of the 7 board of directors on Take 2's side, lookin pretty grim for Take 2's future.

I thought Voyager took out a couple Borg ships during their run?

Thats next generation and the Borg did "acquire" Jean Luc picard, although at the end of the episode they did end up sending a virus out to the hive to tell all the collective units to sleep which in turn killed the Borg.

any sad day to a gamer must be a great day in my book.  The gaming "addiction" is about as useless as polishing a turd:D
Get out and do somethin!!

Gaming is just as valid of a hobby as hot rodding is.  Yes, some people take it too far, but dont generalize things like that.  kthx.

@Carl - be quiet, you're a gamer.  Way to own yourself hahaha

Anyways...it looks like there wont be a gaming industry a few years from now.  It'll just be EA.

Come on. I'm a gamer too, and I know it's a useless hobby. ;) Be honest. What, in life, have you accomplished whilst playing video games?

But then, Jcasiddy, you're on the internet posting on a message board about Thunderbirds (and Cougars), and posting a lot, I might add. It might be best not to throw stones in your glass house. :hick:

(..and yes, I'm smiling, so don't go into a fit. This is all light hearted.)

*edited to include Cougars, because you know, they get testy if they feel left out* :shakeass:

ehhh, don't hate us gamers...I mean, for some of us, it's the only way we will ever get to drive a McLaren F1 or take out a whole troop of Communist insurgents in Afghanistan, or what-have-you...

I love my Tbird and F-150, but I don't spend every single second of my life fantasizing about what I want to  do with 'em next...

It's all relative, and it's all useless anyway: We all end up the same in the end. ;)

[/resumes polishing turds] :D

Poned, get the system that doesnt need a B-17's worth of fans to cool it.

I have saved the world from aliens!!  Countless times, I might add.  :hick:

In all seriousness, gaming is a stress reliever for me (well...sometimes it is also a stress inducer haha).  One that doesnt require me to pay for gas.

What the heck are you talking about owning myself? Could you not see the sarcasm in that post. I mean I figured Al Gore's face pretty much sums it up.

Also EA is good and bad.

They have done an excellent Job with the battlefield series. Someone say they haven't.....
