What makes being an "artist" so fucking special? Gee, I should be able to do whatever I want too without feeling inconvenienced and pressured in any way imaginable Let me guess, you're not a janitor, you're a sanitation engineer right?

I think Jon Stewart said it best: You're confusing religious oppression with not always getting what you want.

This video is trying to tell me that EA remake the same shitty game that idiots buy over and over.
However, what it actually tells me is that the maker of this video is a hipster asshole who thinks his opinions are worth more than other people's, and who thinks because they don't like Call of Honour, then people who do are simple minded, gullible sheep. This asshole is so full of his or her own opinion that anyone who disagrees must have fallen for EA's evil marketing because anyone actually thinking independently would surely have the same opinion as them, as they're so fucking special; they're the only sane person.
EA, Activision and Ubisoft do produce many shitty games and are involved in underhanded tactics like buying reviews. However, that doesn't mean all their games suck and it doesn't mean people who like an EA game, even an uninnovative sequel, are wrong. The implication that we should all follow what this guy thinks (or if you prefer, independently come to the same conclusion) would make us sheep.



What? You know this is a video about EA, not a political thing, right? I can assure you I am not going to vote for Obama or Goldman Sachs this year but this has zero to do with me thinking this guy is a prick for setting himself up as some sort of superior being.

If the video just criticised EA's game production system and how it results in a massive lack of innovation, and how PC gamers tend to get shafted, fine. I agree. But this guy implies that players who buy the latest FIFA, Battlefield or whatever are fools and that's insulting. I bought BF3 because I liked BF:BC2, not because something shiny was dangled in front of me and not because IGN gave it good marks. Likewise, I bought FIFA12 because I played FIFA11 lots and even though little has changed, I've still got many, many times as much gameplay from it than I've got from most other games from developers and publishers big and small.

My complaint isn't that poor little EA don't deserve the criticism. My complaint is that he seems to think people who don't share his opinion must be fools.

Baaaah.

This isn't the first star comparison video, obviously, but I find it interesting that many of them contain this not so subtle message that YOU are but a speck of dust instead of focusing on the amazing massiveness and endless variations and possibilities. Why can't they just let the images speak louder than words instead of trying to cyber bully the viewer?


Or better yet, demonstrate how amazing it is that we can sit here on this planet killing each other over things such as religion, when we could combine and work towards going out and experiencing all of the amazing (amazing is such an understatement) things out there.

We sit on this planet in our little rat race of our own devising, working 9-5 to live in our tiny little house on our tiny little planet, shitting on other tiny little people to get a little bit more status/money, whilst the universe flies on past without us even knowing, but calling to us, saying "You don't NEED religion to feel special, look at all these wonderments i have, and you are alive to see it. AND YOU ARE ONE OF THESE WONDERMENTS. You're so fucking special it's beyond words."
