The Best Worst Game URL On The Internet Right Now
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 2:30 PM on May 15, 2008
In the history of the internet and video game companies using the internet, can safely say that, yes, we have indeed found the most embarrassing URL. Are you ready? OF COURSE! It is:
http://badcompany.ea.com/Hrm. badcompany.ea.com. BadCompany.EA.com. Bad Company EA. Intentional? Accident? Hilarious!
Good thing they didn't use this JPEG, huh.

Eh. It's no penisland.com, as far as unintentional URLs go.

I like it. If these bastards acquire and subsequently screw up Rockstar...
'Course, they could acquire and subsequently propel R* to previously unimaginable heights of creativity and awesomeness... but that's just not the EA we know and love to hate.
GTA '09
GTA 2010
GTA '11... oh God don't let it happen.

I don't see what's so funny about this, it's a game of theirs. There's not much else, maybe BGBadCompany, but it's still not as simple as just the surname of the game.

I've always thought that EA is the front of a totally bad-ass Bond-style villian, a friend worked on Skate and says it's a pretty cool place to work at, kinda like how Homer thought about working for Hank Scorpio...

Hmmm. I'm no EA fan but I don't find this that funny. I like my comedy to be... well... amusing. With some degree of maturity. I guess this is funny if you're a three year old who thinks 'poo' is a funny word too. Maybe it's my background in IT that is shouting "er, it's just a subdomain for an anticipated game" that spoils the gag. Or, maybe it's because I'm British.
