The guy that said tie a baby to a steak etc. should win,.... if I can't win it that is.

I bet that's the reason they removed it. They didn't want to show off all that baby abuse going on.

Unfortunately, I'm not so generous with the style points on the steak-on-a-baby idea, as it was part of the ESRB listing several weeks ago:

Not that its not a great idea... just not an original one.

...and the infants aren't even good for anything. That is, until we run out of dead rats and moldy bread.

That just made my day. That mustache really was what I was going for and even though it didn't work like what I had wanted that was still some pretty awesome horseback-riding mallet-wielding action there at the end.

Wow, in one day you defended 19-second forced ads in a $20 game:
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/03/double-fusion-slows-down-wipeout-hd-with-ads/comments/20645345/
And you trashed an awesome teaser video that featured babies, steaks, lions, and monocles.
You are venturing into Sprinkles territory.

I'm really glad that the termites worked. That made me really happy for some reason.

You know what Moptimus, you're absolutely right.
And Longhorn,
You know we're trying to run a sweatshop right?

I couldn't say this above, but I've actually quit as Human Resources manager for the sweatshop. I'm creating an indentured servant work force, and I need volunteers.
Any takers? We'll be making horse-based glue by the gallon.

Really don't understand what people see in this game. Wonder if it's as boring to play as it was to watch it. What am I saying, it's a casual game...of course it will be.

That's what I've been saying from the start, but most people it seems all you need to impress them is a fancy idea, even if it is executed poorly.

I'm going to give it a try, but I think some people are in for a let down. Part of the problem is the marketing for the game itself... claims of "write anything and watch it come to life" are pretty absurd, but I think some people believe it. The game almost certainly has a database of objects programmed in and if you don't write something that is in the list you won't get what you expect. It's like a hidden inventory. You'll certainly have to do more thinking to solve the puzzles, but I don't think it's going to be this near magical experience some people around here have built it up to be.
