EA HAS A 'CREATIVE OFFICER' AMAZINGLY ENOUGH
His name is Bing Gordon, and you can meet him in person at the Science Museum on January 24 as part of the Game On exhibition.
You could ask him, say, what’s so creative about doing 20 FIFAs a year, or, say, ask him when he’s going to stop charging people money for new sets of skins for The Sims that must’ve taken someone in the office a couple of hours to knock together.
This, sadly, is what Bing looks like:
If this was still 1996 we’d make some sort of ‘Joey Deacon’ reference. Sadly, those days have passed.
Here’s a nice shot of Bing’s gormless face, in case you want to use it as an avatar on whatever social networking site you spend all day aimlessly reloading to see if any girls have replied to something you said.

“Game On!” is just about the least inspired tagline ever. It seems the creative influence he exercises over what goes onto the flyers is about as effective as the creative influence he exercises over EA.
Word verification: qshdxgww. Longest one EVER?

BrownClaw, you just won the Internets.

I’m going, free bar for fecks sake, fun and games with the Joey from EA (pass the parcel probably “oooh Sims for Gamecube, great”).
Am gonna get as drunk as poss, play space war and pong like it’s 1975, and then probably sit at the back of the Q&A being Timmy from South Park “Tiiiiiminay” Who’s in?

I wouldn’t call a Q+A session at the science museum a hipster pursuit. Not even special kids want to go there.

Calling someone else a “hip lifestyle twat” when they have “2k6” in their username? Looks like you’ve got twat on your face.

“…you spend all day aimlessly reloading to see if any girls have replied to something you said.”
They never do.
I’m guessing by “Creative Officer” they mean that he “terminates” anyone who dares show a sense of imagination in the EA headquarters. God help the team in charge of the next FIFA iteration….
