Kolzig Posted June 25, 2005 Now is your big chance! "IGN is for sale" says New York Post. It's going for a fairly cheap price, ONLY $850 million dollars. So gather up your pennies and go fight such companies like Viacom for the ownership, now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted June 25, 2005 Wowzer, that's a bargain! Kingz, as your senior director of hostile acquisitions, should probably take a look at this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted June 25, 2005 I'm sure that after all the games that the Thumbs staff play, you'd be able to defeat Viacom with your L337 skillz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted June 25, 2005 Is IGN publicly traded? If so Idle Thumbs should buy one share for no reason other than to claim it owns part of IGN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted June 25, 2005 I feel that in a year or two, Idle T will be worth 850M as well. Or, 14M, putting them in the Crazy Frog league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwall Posted June 25, 2005 Wowzer, that's a bargain! Kingz, as your senior director of hostile acquisitions, should probably take a look at this. Is that supposed to be "our" or "you're"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lechimp Posted June 25, 2005 Is IGN in trouble financially? Because a year or two ago they merged with gamespy, and now this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted June 25, 2005 Is that supposed to be "our" or "you're"? Choose your own path. It's a branching, non-linear sentence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted June 25, 2005 Wowzer, that's a bargain! Kingz, as your senior director of hostile acquisitions, should probably take a look at this. That is all nice and everything, but you're replying to Kolzig not Kingz. But yeah. I'll see what they have to offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHoatzin Posted June 25, 2005 I think marek meant you're, Kingz. You know... ahem. Granted, but that mysterious 'your' can be read... er... fuck off! I'm the master of hostility and takeovers! Stay back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baconian Posted June 25, 2005 you're all wrong! As your host this evening, I'd like to present the end of the known universe. We'll be commencing after dessert and coffee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dingo Chavez Posted June 25, 2005 $850 million, eh? What can I get for pre-chewed gum and a pre-owned Z.Z. Top record? If it's anything less than an IGN shirt signed by Matt Casamassina and that bald guy that's occasionally in a kangaroo suit, no dice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
