Good. I think developers should have an identity that doesn't immediately tie them to their publisher.
Mike @ Mar 26th 2009 9:44AM
Completely agree. So tired of all these EA / Ubisoft / 2K branded studios.

That t-shirt looks to me like "Irrational Bacon" not "Irrational Games"
Honestly I think Bacon sounds better than Games to me.
Anticrawl @ Mar 26th 2009 4:55AM
Bacon is the food of champions. Bawls is the drink of champions.
Mike @ Mar 26th 2009 9:42AM
I started laughing when i read "Irrational Bacon" and then immediately stopped laughing when I read your Bawls reference.

In two days they're going to announce that they'll be changing their name to 2K Boston: Irrational Games
I think we need to stop paying attention to the name-changing going one with 2k studios, they obviously haven't thought things through
JoeTheBlow @ Mar 26th 2009 5:44AM
For the best, i keep thinking they're the 2K Sports "Its in the game" guys.
They aren't, are they?
Arturis @ Mar 26th 2009 11:13AM
Nope, thats EA Sports

Maybe it's just that both e-mails work. Thomson Reuters does the same thing now that they merged.
arrness @ Mar 26th 2009 1:38PM
exactly what I'm thinking
Jomolungma @ Mar 26th 2009 9:49AM
Wait a second... switching your company's name back and forth within 2 years? Why... that's irrational!
Sorry, had to be said.
Alexisonfire @ Mar 26th 2009 11:51AM
Beat me to the obvious pun!
arrness @ Mar 26th 2009 1:37PM
Why... that pun is used in the title!
Jomolungma @ Mar 26th 2009 1:49PM
Ah yes, indeed it is, sorta. Well, goes to show I don't really read the titles to these posts.
Dralthi @ Mar 26th 2009 11:11AM
The new name is The Studio Formerly Known as 2K Boston.
AwesomeTown @ Mar 26th 2009 7:26PM
That's just what you say. It's just a Big Daddy silhouette symbol.
