April 9, 201312 yr ...only to come back to BoA foreclosing your office building, even though EA doesn't do business with them, and it's in Canada. Edited April 9, 201312 yr by babaganoosh13 You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
April 9, 201312 yr Oddly enough, I like BofA a lot. I've been with them since I was a teenager and they've always done right by me. I've found most fees they've hit me with were easy to get waived, and I even refinanced a car with them a couple years ago and saved money. Granted I have never had a home loan with them, that could change my outlook. But yeah, EA is just a game company, it's hard to have much righteous indignation because my SimCity game took a few weeks to work properly. I have no experience with Ticketmaster, but Comcast sucks. Comcast should be in the finals.
April 9, 201312 yr It's a joke really. EA makes games. The worst thing they can do is make a bad game, hardly worthy of the worst company in the US.
April 9, 201312 yr Author They could have just made worst game company, honestly Ka-ka-ka-ka-Cocaine!
April 9, 201312 yr Nah, that's THQ.... You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
April 9, 201312 yr Word on the street is we successfully defended! Too soon for this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFfCKy0nKr0 Edited April 9, 201312 yr by alanschu
April 9, 201312 yr EA didn't make history being the first company to repeat, you at home made history. I loved that meme last year. You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
April 10, 201312 yr 'But they just sell games!!?!1' The criteria s of the vote was not what company was in the darkest field of business, but how it was run.
April 23, 201312 yr Every time I remember games, companies and franchises they ruined, I open this image and everything looks a bit brighter. Edited April 23, 201312 yr by Cultist
April 23, 201312 yr All that really shows is that their stock was grossly overvalued for awhile. 2012 does not look like a good year though.
April 24, 201312 yr Why exactly? Schadenfreude, I believe. http://cbrrescue.org/ Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forests and fields in which you walk. Immerse yourself in the outdoors experience. It will cleanse your soul and make you a better person.----Fred Bear http://michigansaf.org/
April 24, 201312 yr EA shares have increased by 70% from their 52 week low! Celebrate! (Selective graph data is selective, in other words. Borked Y scale, X scale set to stop at lowest rather than most recent point. I rate this as a D- statistically, with a confidence interval of 95% and margin of error of +/- one grade level)
April 24, 201312 yr It's rather obvious when the global financial crisis struck... Maybe that's what makes him happy. All the new homeless people. Gives you somebody to point fingers at (seems to make some people feel better when other people suffer). “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
April 24, 201312 yr I always just found it interesting since people, in the wake of ME3 and all the movements that spawned out of it, were so diligently reporting on any sort of share price drop, and I always wondered what they thought that that actually meant. Especially all the statements about how it was like a noose wrapped around our necks and the like, and how it was reflective of their various movements having an effect. I came away pretty convinced that people actually had no real clue what exactly the stock market really measures and what who is really affected by changes in the share price and all. But I guess it let them think that they were sending a message or something and it validated some sense of skoodenfroody, which is what some people were looking for (even if they didn't really understand why they were feeling schadenfreude).

I didn't even notice the selective scaling! Do you consider a one grade level shift to be a D, or a C-? Edited April 24, 201312 yr by alanschu

April 24, 201312 yr Hah! I didn't even notice the selective scaling! Do you consider a one grade level shift to be a D, or a C-? A grade shift would be incremental, ie C+ to C or B-, as a full letter shift is a 15% change of mark either way. And having said that I'd have to grade my grading pretty poorly as well; E is reserved for Did Not Sit, so a +/- margin of error cannot apply on a D- grading.
April 24, 201312 yr As mildly amusing as EA imploding would be, highly doubt that's going to happen anytime soon. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Eh, I just assumed the standard convention of "skip E and go directly to F."
April 24, 201312 yr We don't give F's any more. In school there are only about three (!) grades given now and at uni E is the lowest grade; and if you write your name on the paper you get a D-.
April 24, 201312 yr Huh! F is still very much a grade at the University of Alberta. Though They seem to just skip on the D- and go from D straight to F!
