The guy that said tie a baby to a steak etc. should win,.... if I can't win it that is.
MystileArmor [Wiizer Sweatshop Bathwater and Sam Raimi Specialist] @ Aug 3rd 2009 8:04PM
I bet that's the reason they removed it. They didn't want to show off all that baby abuse going on.
Nadril @ Aug 4th 2009 5:37PM
Too bad I didn't catch this earlier, haha. (I was the one who said to use baby with steak :P)
Abracadaver @ Aug 4th 2009 8:12PM
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.

SUMMON RAPTOR JESUS!!!

Andrew Ryan called, he wants his font back!
I keed, I keed. I'm pumped for this game.
Spartan @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:43PM
army of sweatshop workers?
Wiizer (MW2 Sweatshop Entrepreneur) @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:49PM
Believe me, they're not as useful as you'd think...
Longhorn (Sweatshop Infiltrator) @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:54PM
HEY we made you, we can destroy you
Wiizer (MW2 Sweatshop Entrepreneur) @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:56PM
Listen, it really isn't THAT hard to attach babies to steaks!
You can use a necklace, you can staple it on the baby, you can even use a clothespin for God's sake!
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC Vice President and PR of Wiizers Sweatshop Inc.) @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:58PM
Well what do you expect? We have 1 guy,20 infants and 4 managers and you went extra cheap on the materials,only half of the special editions have enough foil paper and we had to replace the used MW discs for ilegal copies of Hour of victory.
As for the night vision googles we replace those cheap toys for cheap flashlights with rubber bands and someone! (Moptimus) wrote Fleshlight instead of flashlight in one of the orders.
Random G (Wiizer Sweatshop Chief Bitchslapper) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:06PM
...and the infants aren't even good for anything. That is, until we run out of dead rats and moldy bread.

hey, EXCUSE ME FOR TRYING TO BE PRACTICAL
Sly [Wiizer Sweatshop Raccoon] @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:08PM
moptimus fucked up? time for a cane beating! :D
Moptimus Slime (Leader of Princess Griffins Royal Guard, Co-founder of Wiizers Sweatshop, Long Name Aficionado) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:11PM
Sly, don't make me pull rank
The Dark Wang(Sweatshop Dick) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:25PM
After everything I've done for the sweatshop, you insult me!! Damn you Wiizer!!!
BananaBoat @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:58PM
This is Bananaboat from Human Resources again...Sir, I don't know how to say this, but our workers have begun to...to sing. Please advise on how I can fix this most dire of situations.
Longhorn (Sweatshop Infiltrator) @ Aug 3rd 2009 8:03PM
BananaBoat
it is under Wiizer policy for every owner to display their nametag,
mhmm disobeying are we
bongoes (Wiizer sweatshop new employee) @ Aug 3rd 2009 8:14PM
Hey Wiizer, I've been working day and night and this is how you treat me? *sniff* *sniff* I'm gonna go cry now.
NForever @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:44PM
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.
Kleptomaniac @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:44PM
Haha when Justin got a text message I looked at my iPhone expecting a text.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC Vice President and PR of Wiizers Sweatshop Inc.) @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:45PM
Too bad I didn't participate,I would have suggested an earthquake or a tornado
Radical Dylan @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:00PM
both were suggested, neither was used.
Mr Khan @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:13PM
I (and at least one other person), called for Earthquake.
Justin McElroy @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:32PM
Earthquake wouldn't have worked, because it's not a physical object.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC Vice President and PR of Wiizers Sweatshop Inc.) @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:48PM
"Hoe"
I see what you did there Justin!
Trickob @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:10PM
Yes, very Freudian...
CH3BURASHKA @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:52PM
Any footage of this game is awesome.
Zerokku @ Aug 3rd 2009 6:54PM
Awesome.
CH3BURASHKA @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:04PM
Please post more challenges!!!
Longhorn (Sweatshop Infiltrator) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:06PM
Wow this game seem better on paper.
Hype gone
Cheerio
copa @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:17PM
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.
Longhorn (Sweatshop Infiltrator) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:25PM
maybe you should read more of the comments, Im not the only one that is disappointed
Trickob @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:06PM
I'm really glad that the termites worked. That made me really happy for some reason.
Nguyen @ Aug 4th 2009 10:05AM
damn i missed the video, but i'm glad my suggestion worked!
scratch @ Aug 4th 2009 11:03AM
damn i missed the video too, but i also suggested termites (didn't read all the posts, so i dont know/care who posted termites first). we all win!
Trickob @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:08PM
Yes, very Freudian...
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC Vice President and PR of Wiizers Sweatshop Inc.) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:29PM
Indeed, very Freudian...
Trickob @ Aug 3rd 2009 8:54PM
*strokes goatee*
Indeed... indeed.
*puffs pipe and adjusts monocle*
Eric H. @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:09PM
Dinosaur is neither offensive or stupid.
Dinosaur > elephant.
Random G (Wiizer Sweatshop Chief Bitchslapper) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:09PM
This video ruined my day.
Moptimus Slime (Leader of Princess Griffins Royal Guard, Co-founder of Wiizers Sweatshop, Long Name Aficionado) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:13PM
because you realized nothing else you'd see would match its level of awesomeness?
Longhorn (Sweatshop Infiltrator) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:14PM
ahem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN0
I suggest this to be the sweatshop entrance
Random G (Wiizer Sweatshop Chief Bitchslapper) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:30PM
You know what Moptimus, you're absolutely right.
And Longhorn,
You know we're trying to run a sweatshop right?
BananaBoat @ Aug 3rd 2009 8:01PM
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.
max @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:13PM
sorry to rain on the parade, but it looks kinda lame. i was all excited before seeing this too. :(
Mr Khan @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:13PM
I laughed when the Lion failed to identify neither Steak nor Baby, and instead killed the NPC.
Felipe @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:14PM
i hope i can summon the almighty caps lock power of Billy Mays in this game
Moptimus Slime (Leader of Princess Griffins Royal Guard, Co-founder of Wiizers Sweatshop, Long Name Aficionado) @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:18PM
all you have to do is type in "Cruise Control"
player66 @ Aug 3rd 2009 7:14PM
Fun video. This is still a 50/50 buy for me, but I think I get a better feel for the game's functionality, which is always a good thing. Thanks Justin!
