On the theme of "texts from <insert thing that doesn't normally text message>" we've got "Texts from video game companies".

And yes, they do actually take the piss out of EA.

Here's one of them, from Micro$oft

Well yes, because the actual article names the creators of the texts. People who work for IGN.

So in reality, I should have added a giant-as-fuck IGN logo watermark to this.

Hah. That was pretty good. I liked the Sega one.
"Hey, how come we never hang out anymore?" "Because you're old and creepy." "And so alone. Wanna play Olympics? You like Aliens? I put Sonic on a skateboard. Hey?"

The Capcom ones were pretty good too.

Yeah I got a good laugh out of that article especially the nintendo one with the Wii U. And to be fair to IGN they can be funny, I know people on this website tend to vilify them but I have yet to find another game website that's more worthwhile to read up on the latest news in gaming.

Part of being the kings means that you get access to goodies that other people read, then rewrite.

IGN AU are by far the most competent and intelligent wing of IGN. If IGN ever has any content that's actually worth any attention it's almost always from their AU branch.

IGN isnt as bad as people make it out to be, its generally the best around for gaming news, and they do have the occasional funny article

EDIT: Although I strongly disagree with a lot of their opinion articles

Thank you! I'll pass it on.

I like Ign,because unlike this website and many others they mostly keep personal opinion out of news stories.

Yeah, they do keep their own personal opinion out of news stories. The people paying their ad revenue, on the other hand...

Hahhahahaha I get it...

Didn't make me laugh, but damn that's good.

The Nintendo one hurts real bad... it's too true. *sniffle*
