acxr is wasted writes "Electronic Arts has dealt another blow to rival Sega by signing a 15-year agreement with ESPN, giving the publisher exclusive video game rights to ESPN branded material. EA has recently faced pressure from popular ESPN-branded Sega titles released at discount prices, prompting their recent deal with the NFL, and failed bid for the NBA."

    1) Want me to?...Sure I will. I deny it. Wanna know why? WRONG THREAD. See, in language, there's this little thing call context, which you seem not to grasp.

    But hey, I'll give you some lee-way and say that: EVEN IF you were correct, do you know what "critically acclaimed" means? Check www.m-w.com and look up both words. It's a meaningless term in most semantic uses.

    So you're mistaken times two.

    2) Not worth replying to...You are debating about making the first cut of the cake vertically or horizontally, as the best way to wind up with equal squares for everyone.

    3) Pretty much the same. You say how bad and terrible computer games are and how everyone who plays them must be rich and so no, you are not going to know about this that and the other thing, then you turn around and say you are not isolated from a larger percent of the games market.

    I don't even know how to begin to discuss that, it's so preposterous.
