Support NeoGAF

[feynoob]

I want a refund for this pfp.
That showcase was something else.

You wouldn't dick suck for $500,000+ USD a year? Fortune 500 executive money will easily make you a millionaire.

Would you?

Whose dick would you suck if you had to choose?

 

[feynoob]

Would you?

Whose dick would you suck if you had to choose?

For me, 100% Todd Howards.
That guy can sweet lie to me.

 

[Topher]

And.......

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Would you?

Whose dick would you suck if you had to choose?

No but I am weirdo, most people are far more opportunistic and fickle than I am when the results are so immense.

I thought it was funny, I didn't think Activision executives were allowed to meme about such topics.

I think what she was responding to was funny. Her comment really wasn’t.

Some people are too sensitive these days and will want to start a fight for no reason.
Here is an example

Summer Game Fest featured no women onstage

Geoff Keighley, for one dollar, feature a woman.

How adorable with the evil henchmen gang signs.

Being too sensitive works both ways. It really is ok if someone says they didn't think a joke was funny. That isn't starting a fight.

Considering the situation, its tough to ask.
It will be a disaster for activision if they dont put disclaimer or any kind, considering they have that lilith ad in newyork.

And newyork people are angry as hell.

It’s not about sensitivity for me, it just wasn’t funny.

I’m not saying she should be canceled, reprimanded or fired. I just don’t think she or anyone from ABK needed to comment on the image.

You really think any serious person is connecting Diablo and it’s advertising to the fires?

We are talking about current people. Anything can trigger them for no reason.
We have karens for a reason.

I wonder how many NeoGaf bans they have between them? I'd guess a shitload.

Push comes to shove I would suck my own dick for five hundred thousand American dollars.

Like I said, serious people. Nobody serious really thinks that.

Dumb people will always draw correlations that don’t exist. 21 years ago some people were demanding Peter Jackson change the name of The Two Towers because it was insensitive to 9/11, they weren’t taken seriously.

If Lulu and ABK were really worried someone might find the ad offensive now (and they might, lol) a jokey tweet about not being affiliated or partners with a fire isn’t the way to respond.

Source material for "joke":

International help rolls in to fight persistent Canadian wildfires

Allies around the world have promised to increase their help to Canada in its fight against hundreds of blazes that have swept through the country in its worst-ever start to wildfire season.

www.reuters.com

Yeah, hilarious.

Where I live, in Canada, we're being warned to not go outside due to the air quality. Then there's all the loss and destruction attributed to the fires. It says a lot about Lulu that this was source material for a "joke".

People joke about sensitive things all the time. That’s all bill burr does.

 

[Astray]

People losing their shit over Lulu's boring-ass joke.

Corporates "joining" the people will never not be lame as fuck.

 

[PaintTinJr]

I haven't read further on to remind myself to see if the date was cancelled by the Judge, but going by page 60 of the CMC transcript June 12th 10am is the next court date I'm seeing so far.

Yeah, the next hearing is the 12th and it will be a longer one to deal with the actual dates and the evidence that MS wants to bring in.

It's such an American thing get offended at that tweet.

There were similar bush fires in Australia and my city in New Zealand turned orange for a few days too. So many jokes were made about BOTH Australia and NZ. It's almost like it's possible to make a joke AND be concerned and understanding of events like these.

The funniest part to me is when people come on here and try to convince us that the joke is funny and we're just too biased to laugh with her.

If you have to convince someone that a joke is funny.. then it just isn't.

 

[Bernoulli]

Now that we have the transcript no more "CMA lost and they are begging Microsoft to make a deal with them" articles?

 

[MasterCornholio]

Now that we have the transcript no more "CMA lost and they are begging Microsoft to make a deal with them" articles?

Which transcript?

Just wondering if there was something new.

 

[Astray]

CAT transcript is out now

 

[Topher]

Yeah, I read most of the transcript and the conclusions that CMA "lost" anything is hilarious.

 

[feynoob]

CAT transcript is out now

Wonder what sound will they use for those transcripts.
It's hard to understand cat talk.

 

[Jemm]

The lawyer cat will help them:

 

[Drell]

-If they mew, that means they're asking something to MS or CMA.
-If they purr it means they're happy but for which situation?
-If they spit it means they're hostile to something, but again, what?

 

[gothmog]

Yeah, I read most of the transcript and the conclusions that CMA "lost" anything is hilarious.

It's been hilarious since the beginning. Normal legal discovery back and forth painted as a huge win for one side in particular.

Yet, some of y'all are first to cry like little he-bitches when it comes to console war jokes.

Lulu's "joke" wasn't at the Bill Burr level, but she isn't a comedian. She is a corporate public relations executive. There is a massive difference there.

Funny how the same people gushing and having mental gymnastics of defense over her lame "look at us cool kids" joke is divided by who supports the takeaway deal.

A joke can be lame people, it will be okay. However if the same "joke" came from a perceived rival company, they would be gnashing teeth. Bet.

 

[ToadMan]

Can anyone explain what this means?

It allows ABK to be make direct representations in the appeal process.

Prior to this the arrangement was that MS would be representing the acquisition in legal proceedings - ABK were just supplying information as a third party effectively.

In practical terms I don’t think it makes too much difference for the appeal itself but let’s see.

 

[mckmas8808]

People joke about sensitive things all the time. That’s all bill burr does.

Is she a comedian?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Is she a comedian?

She's definitely a joke.

 

[NickFire]

Is she trying to be funny?

I thought her joke was funny and well timed to be honest. Kind of refreshing too. I much prefer public faces of large corps making "too soon" jokes than regurgitate talking points / bleating like sheep all day long.

Eh....I think most PR folks suck at humor and really shouldn't try, especially when it comes to "too soon" jokes. But as Kilau said, no one is calling for her job over this. Just a disagreement on her attempt at humor is all. All good.

But why even make that joke at a time like this? Does she think it's beneficial to her job to say things for the lulz?

I enjoy the LuLunacy generally, just no reason to defend a lame joke unless it’s thirst or fanboyism.

Don't call mansoor1980 like that.
Man is just honestly thirsty for her. No need to call him out like that.

George Osborne advisory firm lands role on contested $75bn Call of Duty deal

Robey Warshaw, where George Osborne is a partner, has been drafted in as an adviser to Activison Blizzard as UK regulators block its takeover by Microsoft, Sky News learns.

A former Chancellor of the Exchequer no less, probably still has plenty of influence in the Tory party.

Dont remember bill burr doing a gotcha joke with an ongoing public tragedy ... but I might be wrong

So, you still want politicians to have coercion with an independent body. All for "muh favorite brand."

Next thing you know, we will get people complaining to the king about this deal.
