Since I need a place to rant and rave, I thought Dtoid would be the perfect place for me to express my madness!

During an earnings call EA boss, John Riccitello, said the company wasn't satisfied with its overall sales performance for 2007.

Riccitello said that while 2008 looks promising, EA will continue to focus less on sequels and on more original content to be successful.

Riccitello then went on to discuss new titles in the Lord of the Rings and Battlefield series.... and touted FIFA 08, Madden 08 and Need for Speed were top performers in '07-- with Burnout Paradise doing well so far in 2008.

Wait... what?

GRR! EA Hates Sequels!
YAY! My Sequels, Let Me Show You Them!

It's the same thing they say all the time, sure you'll be laughing the first couple of times you hear it, but surely by the fifth or seventh time you'll just be facepalming.

KNIVES! They killed Mischievious Sterling! I've been looking for you everwhere, man. I had to let someone know. No one would believe me, but you were there, man! You were there!


The night we took over Destructoid. Hush hush material.

Don't let anyone else see...

It was insane, man. They were so brutal. I...I never knew they could be so cruel.

First they shot staples into his palms. They started to pour battery acid in his eyes. It was horrible. I didn't see it, but they stapled his eyes open beforehand. "Good" Sterling went up to him and called him a cunt so many times I started to cry. Then he cut his throat with a Dynasty Warriors disc...and it was over.

I...Oh, God. It makes me wonder who Mischievous Sterling really is.
