Before I write anything else, longtime reader/friend Rene Rosa (aka Evil Adam) is doing a marathon Twitch stream tomorrow (June 22nd at 12pm EST). He will be playing the game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and performing crazy stunts and actions as the day goes on. This is to help raise money to care for his father who has brain cancer. Rene is a super talented musician behind the band Evil Adam and my former comic’s theme song, The Ballad of Dr. Lobster. Please consider helping out if you can.

Today’s comic was almost about EA and their rebranding of “loot boxes” to “surprise mechanics” that are “quite ethical and fun”.

Considering that my last comic to mention EA Games resulted in the most negative messages I’ve ever received, I feel like I should stay away from this one.

Still, if “surprise mechanics” doesn’t quite catch on, here are some other suggestion for EA to try:

Bet Buckets

Pocket Drainers

Scamboxes

Fairness Frackers

Cash Captures

Kiddie Scammers

Delight Destroyers

User Users

EA Enrichers

Gamble Gamble It's Such A Gamble

I’d keep going, but why do that for free when EA’s legal team is out there earning the big bucks?
