Pulling a Bethesda

When a good thing goes horribly wrong.
Like per say the hype fallout76 generated only to get a massive letdown from a loving community
Also a game made just for the company's revenue and without little regaurd for the fans.
Like the Bag gate.

Nicholas: hey I just got fallout 76 today!
Will: cool, but don't pull a Bethesda and play that game, it'll be a huge let down to a hardcore Bethesda fan!
Nicholas:Oh your talking about Pulling a Bethesda? It's ok I'm pretty sure it'll be a solid game
Will: I'm sure your mistaken

Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School

Very rich school in very rich montgomery county in maryland. There are LOTS of parties. The girls are hott as hell-most lose their virginity at age 15-in the place of a backpack most hold longchamp bags and high end purses. The boys are either preppy or hood rat-or they think they're hood rat by dressing up in bright colors and always matching their shoes to their shirts to their hats. most sell marijuana. B-CC has the IB program and is one of the best schools in the county, Walt Whitman High School can suck a dick.

-"Hey did you hear about that Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School party last weekend that got cited?"
-"..you mean every Bethesda-Chevy Chase party..?"
-"true shit."

Bethesda

verb, to render a piece of software (usually a video game) inoperable and/or unplayable due to one or more bugs left within the code.

"They've really Bethesda-ed up the launch of Fallout 76, haven't they?"

"That's what you get for having an excessively harsh crunch time and not hiring enough QAs."

bethesda-grade incompetence

Making something that could be good but ends up being terrible, but people enjoy it anyway; ignoring hundreds and hundreds of helpful suggestions; generally being a giant assclown that is clearly only worried about selling the bridge that you are currently burning while standing on.

The world fades from black. You sit in a wooden cart, surrounded by bandits. One of the bandits has terribly broken textures, and two others are incorrectly labelled as housecats. You shout out to God almighty "I think there's a mistake here!!" Suddenly, a feral pig jumps out of a bush and explodes, killing you. This is some Bethesda-grade incompetence.

Bethesda

A town in Washington DC suburbia in Montgomery County. Bethesda is unique because of its highly educated population. Montgomery County itself has a gang problem in areas like Silver Spring and Kensington, but its high standards for education are seen in its nicer areas like Bethesda, Potomac, and Rockville. Bethesda is populated mostly by families with high income. A lot but not most of them are filthy rich and are the ones you see living in the really big houses. Children who grow up in Bethesda tend to be ignorant of places that are less fortunate because there isn't much to worry about. This gives them the impression that places like Gaithersburg are ghetto. Kids from Bethesda tend to be generalized as spoiled rich white kids. True most of them are rich but only the spoiled ones are the people who give off this generalization. There is in fact, a very small population of working class families that live in Bethesda. Their kids are the ones that realize how ridiculous everything around them actually is. These same kids are usually the ones made fun of because their down to earth view of things in an over achiever environment. Bethesda is basically a utopia, so kids in Bethesda become bored and start doing drugs. While there doing drugs and are completely unaware that they just got ripped off, they convince them selfs that because they smoke bud and live near DC this somehow makes them hardcore. This is what gives Bethesda a bad rep.

Ignorant Rich kid #1: Dude, this shit soo dank.
Ignorant Rich kid #2: Yeah, I'm fucked up right now. Lets go back to my mansion and brag about how hardcore we are to each other while playing xbox 360 live.

Dealer #1: I aint sellin shit.
Dealer #2: Go to Bethesda. Yesterday i sold two white boys a shitty salad for $80. It wont even get them high.

bethesda

Suburban town in MOCO where adults make almost as much money as those in near-by Potomac. The prep population is massive and ranges from 13 year old hookers to 17 year old ex-football players that suck at lacrosse. Very similar to Potomac, although there is a smaller population of Asians and even a tiny population of down-to-earth punks who enjoy scaring their prep classmates, fighting the man, and tagging benches in the multi-million dollar public parks. Even with all their money, all kids end up doing is going to the Montgomery Aquatic Center (because swimming outside, besides in the pool in your backyard is just unsanitary, and anyway, you might bump into some wangsters at a public pool in Rockville) and skateboarding badly up and down Wisconsin Avenue going to Mongolian BBQ for 10 minutes at a time and only eating half a plate. Most kids live less than 15 blocks away from Whitman High, but instead decide to A) Nag their parents to buy them a car worth at least $15,000 B) Go to Landon or Georgetown Prep and tell all your friends you're doing a girl at Holy Cross or finally C) Vice versa.

Bethesda kid #1: Yesterday I saw these emo kids hanging out in the park I was driving past in my new Mercedes.

Bethesda kid #2: EEEWWW you saw emo kids??

Bethesda Kid #3: Did you throw anything at them?

Bethesda Kid #1: I would have, but I didn't wanna get outta my car and get my new Lacoste all polleny.

(silence while checking voicemail on their new sidekicks)

Bethesda kid #2: HEY-let's go to Monogolian BBQ!
