Popularity rank 72 #270. Pick a plastic guitar

September 9, 2009

BOBBY KOTICK: OK, last thing, we need to ship a custom exclusive plastic guitar as part of Guitar Hero: Jumpstart Malady Edition.

BOBBY KOTICK: So pick any of these to be the "Kevin Edo signature guitar."
KEVIN: Bad news, man... I don't use ANY of these brands.

BOBBY KOTICK: Kevin. Selling the plastic makes us $60 more per sale, translating to about $240,000,000 in your pocket.

KEVIN: I could TOTALLY start playing that Gibson Citation...
BOBBY KOTICK: There we go...

September 3, 2009

TONY: Sorry about that. I thought once we got you in the room with that Rock Band guy, we'd be good...
KEVIN: Ugh, "Alex Rigopulos!" What a pompous little indie DOUCHEBAG.

TONY: Look, it doesn't matter. We'll just pitch to Guitar Hero now, OK?
KEVIN: Yeah, let's talk to the ORIGINAL music game! Not some cheap COPY!

TONY: Well... Alex and his company actually invented Guitar Hero, too.

KEVIN: Bah... I hate it when douchebags are successful.
