How could you advertise EQ2 with bare midriffs in bustiers and make a game with the chicks in robes? How can you miss the buss by that margin? How can you make a group centric game and intstance everything? Did you just not work it out on paper? How is it possible to be that stupid? What is the deal here? how can so much resources be spent on games who's only claim to fame is the incredible amount of suck they place on the universe.

And what's the deal with airline food?

Eh? I like EQ2. What is this thread trying to achieve.

Airplane food agrees with my belly. That's all that matters.

and what's up with the guy that makes himself coffee on the espresso machine in the office and doesn't clean it afterwards. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE BITCH.

EQ2 was great, if you never left the newbie island and ignored the graphics.

I had never tasted ice cream sandwiches until I first flew in the US.  God bless NWA for that.  I shall ever look kindly on airline food as a result.

EQ2 pretty much sucks, though.  Maybe if it came with ice-cream sandwiches?

I have to agree about the bait-and-switch on the advertising graphics vs. real game graphics.

I like bewbies in games.  (Who, pray tell, doesn't like bewbies?)

Communists that's who! There was a reason the red threat had to be stopped, and it wasn't about monies.

I'd resub to EQ2 if I got an icecream sandwich everytime I logged in.

airline food is now rare on most flights I take.  You gotta pay for it, and if yer at the back of the bus, chances are they usually run out.

it doesn't stay long.  That's prolly its most redeeming aspect.  That and what Schild said.  Spongy.

I don't like bewbies.

I can admire their bounciness in an abstract way.  But I have no actual like for them.

Guess that makes me a commie?  Must be on the wrong side of the DMZ then....

How could you advertise EQ2 with bare midriffs in bustiers and make a game with the chicks in robes? How can you miss the buss by that margin? How can you make a group centric game and intstance everything? Did you just not work it out on paper? How is it possible to be that stupid?

Hmm, ok. Two comments on this thread:

1) No peice of media should be allowed to put scantily clad women with big boobies on the box cover, unless said scantily clad boobies appear within the media.

2) Signe, what the fuck is mowing your lawn?
