Paperboy  Posts: 39 Joined: 29 Jul 2008   | Stolen Pixels fans should check out the deleted scenes over at http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1981. (Shamus Young has not paid me for this plug, which is something I'm going to have to discuss with him.) |

Yess, he is so schmarmy! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1544 Joined: 21 Nov 2007    | Great work Shamus! Out of interest, who is that EA guy? |

I know Shamus's secret, but I will never tell ;) |
Pixel Thief Posts: 423 Joined: 7 Jul 2008 | The EA guy is a model on a pretty standard stock photo site. I don't know his name or anything. He kind of reminds me of Herb Tarlek, which is icing on the cake. |

BANNED  Posts: 2505 Joined: 19 Aug 2008   | Just incase something happens buy 2 Red Alert 3's. That made me laugh so hard, great work! User was banned for: Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four - (1) Turbine vs (1) Nintendo. (Permanent) |

Beat Writer  Posts: 186 Joined: 6 Jun 2008     | To be fair, a forum moderator is not exactly a spokescritter for EA. (On the other hand, they're as close as us normal people usually ever get, due to EA's determination to keep developers and customers separated by as large a wall as possible.) Doesn't excuse having this kind of evil ability, though. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 473 Joined: 29 Nov 2008 | Ahhh, isn't it adorable how nothing quite boosts online piracy like the threat of advanced copy protection? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3518 Joined: 14 Jan 2009    | Wow, that's really horrible. Really. Thankfully I don't play any EA games online, really. But I thought about doing it with C&C 3, and now I really, really don't wish to. |
Muckraker  Posts: 235 Joined: 8 Apr 2009   | It's amusing how, as pointed out, the people least likely to be affected by this are the pirates. |

Stolen Pixels #36: You Only Hurt the Ones Who Love You
EA has the power to crush you like a bug, but won't use it. Unless, you know, you deserve it.
