Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you. Whether you’re talking about videogames, Apple’s crazy strong Q3 results, Magic and Jordan calling out LeBron’s decision, or your favorite hamburger, Coffee Talk is the place to do it.
EA recently announced a slew of interesting games, including Maxis’ Darkspore. While this action-RPG looks pretty cool, a lot of my journalist friends were ripping on its name. You can imagine some of the jokes, right? They came up with stuff like Dark Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Dark Hasbro Family Game Night, Dark Sims, etc.
My challenge for you today is to come up with your own “Dark” EA game. Shoot off some names and concepts in the comments section (please). I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Dark Fight Night. The career mode will have you dodging rape, abuse and assault charges from the many women you bed; along with finding a way to use performance enhancers as you claw your way to the top.
@Apple Q3 report
i'm not surprised, as much as everyone is complaining about the iPhone 4 they're still going out and buying them.
@MJ & Magic going after LBJ
I have to agree with them and no i'm not saying it just because of MJ. If you want to be considered one of the best or "The" best of all time you have to go against the best.
@my favorite burger
hmmmmm if we're talking fast food chains probably the Big Bacon classic when it was at Wendy's. They replaced it with the Bacon-ator it was too much bacon and beef patties for me. If we're talking restaurants like gourmet burgers it would have to be the 10 oz Holy Cow burger from Harry Caray's restaurtant.
@tokz_21 The iPhone 4 sales were minimal in Q3 because it was released at the very end of the corner. The iPad and Mac sales were crazy!
@rpad
I wasn't sure when the 3rd quarter was. Just insert iphone 4 with iPad and instead of issues replace that with everyone complaining how they wouldn't get an iPad because it was just like a big iphone.
@tokz_21 Companies can start their fiscal year whenever they want to. Apple's Q3 ended in June, so it only had six days of iPhone 4 sales to use in its Q3 report.
Dark Madden and NCAA football.
Think of "Blitz" only with evil historical characters like Hitler, Pol Pot, Castro, the 82' L.A. Raiders, Stalin, Napoleon, the '77 Yankees, and Genghis Khan.
Evil football, FTW!

Ray has his super secret project, and we now have our own. Send me an email by tomorrow at 9 eastern/6 central and check the same address you sent me from by early Thursday morning. I need everyone who is willing to trust me to send me their email address.
This could be fun.
Correction to the above:
Send me an email by *tonight* at 9 eastern/6 central
@ Dark EA game
Dark Command & Conquer would be the first AO rated game to go triple platinum because of its triple x rated game play. You would have to, well you can fill in the blanks laugh out loud.
@ Magic and MJ
This is news to me!
@ Favorite Burger
There is a chain out here called Uburger with homemade hand cut fries, yummy! They have the best cowboy burger in the state in my opinion. The bacon is crispy and not all greezy, I think the produce is all local, the pepper jack and jalapeno cheeses are to die for, and the burger itself is just pure heaven.
@Iceman Some fans would say that Favre should be the cover athlete for your proposed game. Ha!
@Big Blak That burger sounds awesome. I shall have to try it one day.
@rpad
oh yeah i'm aware of that. I really just made that comment without reading the reports of when the quarter began and ended.
@ Ray
Last night, I saw your ex on an Xbox Live video featuring Dead Rising 2.
There's a dirty pun in there, but I won't go there.
@Mr. Padilla;
Are you sure you don't mean "LeBron James?"
@N8;
I'm going to watch that video when I get home out of curiosity. Is it Reona Rewis?
-M
I'm hoping Tiger Woods Sim Adultery is Kinect compatible.
Yeah, I said it.
@ Nightshade
Lmfao that is great dude.
