1,200 freshly baked Krispy Kreme donuts!
Your not going to believe this one.

Ex-SWGers should send Smedley 1200lbs of 100% all natural american made buffalo chips!
Obviously, Smed Head was trying to say something with these donuts.
What do you think it was?
Maybe some type of peace offering so these guys don't slam him? After all, he knows he's the butt of jokes across the gaming world.
He is under the fire?
I'd be afraid to eat the donuts. Considering the frames that spawned the joke, I'd be mighty suspicious of what constituted their creamy filling.
O.O

Ewwww....
That is a pretty funny joke though
Maybe they're trying to say that they make enough from their games that they can afford to send their critics a years supply of donuts 
Well, at least the nice thing about KK donuts is they keep well. Even if they go stale, you can fry them up in butter to make them taste better than new!
mmmm donuts. That Smedley he's funny like a....donut giver.
I found this part of one of the posts funny too lol
"Obviously I dont have high hopes for the DC MMO. If it plays out anything like Galaxies I can tell you exactly how it will go. You will create your character and then spawn in the center of the Fortress of Solitude. Super Man will fly up to you and tell you that Lex Luther and the Joker are fighting Batman and he needs your help. Hell scoop you up and fly you to Gotham via Metropolis (Hey look, its the Daily Planet) where you will meet up with the rest of the Justice League and they will make you an honorary member. After a crazy battle involving everyone from Wonder Woman to Krypto the super dog, youll end up in some filthy ally shooting rats with your heat vision."
ROFL I bet that isn't far off, and am I crazy to think it sounds fun?
Is someone didn't see it yesterday, the joke is related to yesterday's comic, which I link here.
I guess Smed is starting to embrace his role as The Comic relief of the gaming industry.
SOE knows what you like... You don't!
And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!
Is he embracing his role as comic relief, or is he delusional enough to think that he's not a running joke.
Reading about refrying KK's in butter made my arteries harden, I can't imagine what eating one would do.
I wonder if the Krispy Kreme guy would have still been smiling if he'd seen the comic that led to the delivery.
I get this feeling, based on comments like the one made by the GU Comic guy ("where creative people go to die"), that SOE's devs haven't been enjoying warm donuts for quite some time. Creativity of the sort that spawns good games is nurtured by liberal doses of sugar, caffiene and cameraderie. Something tells me that SOE's dev care and feeding doesn't include much of any of these things. Speaking as a former (well paid) technology worker, I can personally attest that no amount of money paid can make up for the lack of these things in a job that carries high stress and hard, frequent deadlines.
When I picture them, I see a pitiful bunch, wearing business casual uncomfortably, corraled in vealpen cubicles with impersonal workstations, policed by suit wearing pointy-haired bosses and wishing they'd chosen a different career path every time they read another e-mail demand from their corporate overlords dictating something they know before they even begin to code it isn't going to be fun. I can even imagine that they cry into their pillows and dream of writing code for some little indy production company, where donuts abound, Starbucks flows like a stream and they are free to wear that goofy old teeshirt with the flying hamster of doom on it.

aparently it was a reference to them at one point saying theyd be lucky if soe had 1200 subscribers. so he sent 1 KK for every subscriber he has.
someone told them this was probobly the best thing soe has ever shipped in its history. i tend to agree
Games i'm playing right now...
