Zen: I felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Re: Whaling Protest Game "Harpooned" Gets an Update
I missed the segment, but did catch the listener comments the next day. Sounds like it would have been a great segment.

Re: Whaling Protest Game "Harpooned" Gets an Update
We could always just start sinking the ships that went into international waters to harpoon a whale...lol!
Hope that it does some good.
Ironically enough, it's illegal to hunt whale in Oklahoma. It apparently used to happen a lot.

Re: Whaling Protest Game "Harpooned" Gets an Update
LOL
This just reminded me of local NPR station on April 1st reading letters about whale farming in Illinois. So many people called to complain about the readers lack of emotion on the subject and how we should all go to Illinois and save these whales from being treated as such.

As for the game, it is a rather fun little shooter. I liked playing it. It does raise the issue as comments from ignorant people who never played it showed.
Hope for the best with the new release.
