half expected it to be square enix buying them, they are trying to take over the world i think.

[Xandertrax]

only a $1 bill? That's hardly anything.

I was like 'I bet it's EA'

then I clicked the link and felt awesome.

yeah, rumors say it's EA... although a friend of mine who works for PopCap said there is nothing final yet and that they might still go the IPO route.

also, Jason... why is this not in Games, Games, Games :p
