EA Lawsuit Over Madden 2009 Thwarted by Handlebar Moustache

February 8, 2009 by myka

THE INTERNETS - Kotaku.com reports that "In testimony during the class-action lawsuit against the National Football League Players Association, over royalties owed to retired players whose likenesses were used in Madden, EA's Joel Linzer said they made the decision to put Favre on the cover before he announced his retirement. When Favre announced his retirement, they considered replacing him with an active player, then bulled ahead and kept him on the cover. He later unretired."

However, since that testimony EA has retracted that official stance and instead claimed they have not used Brett Favre on the cover of their game AT ALL, but rather, what you see is Wabrettio, Brett's evil twin. (Seen above).

It's a very clever defense, since clearly that is a different person because he has a handlebar moustache.

Clearly that’s Brett Favrè, the real Brett Favre died years ago in a fight against Godzilla. Not Hideki Matsui.

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

Top 7 Makeshift Weapons for Fighting the Undead

June 8, 2008 by ZachShephard

Vampires. Mummies. My love life. What do these things have in common? They’re all dead, and the legends of their deeds will be the foundation of nightmares for years to come. We all fear the day when the reanimated corpse of Abraham Lincoln meanders down the street, thirsting for vengeance, brains, and a hat that won’t restrict his ability to enter a parking garage.

We've all been in that situation we hate. In the 9th hour of a Smash Brothers Brawl, or Halo 3 session when Mr. hunger comes knocking on our stomach lining like an angry husband returning from a deadly salmon run to find you sleeping with his wife.

Top 7 Iron Mans

May 27, 2008 by myka

No, we didn’t make a mistake. The title is, in fact, “Top 7 Iron Mans,” not “Iron Men.” We’re counting down the 7 people that have best honored the iron name with great accomplishments and general bad-assery. Some of these may shock you, but rest assured, they are rated by the highest authorities on the subject matter (or any subject matter, as far as we’re concerned): hardcore gamers.
