    Astro Ranch's like a melody in my head
    That I can't keep out
    Got me tappin' like
    Tap tap tap tap everyday
    It's like Apple's approval process is on delay, delay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

    Remember the first time we met
    You was at da app store wit sum DLC
    I was scared to approach ya
    But then you price was lower'd
    Hopin' you would give me a chance

    Who would have ever knew
    That we would ever be more than friends
    We're real worldwide, farming all the crops
    That app is like a game played again and again

    That app, like something off Nintendo
    That app, is 2.99 they say
    That app, is gunna be on my iPod
    App running through my RAM all day, ay

    Astro Ranch's like a melody in my head
    That I can't keep out
    Got me tappin' like
    Tap tap tap tap everyday
    It's like Apple's approval process is on delay, delay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

    See you been all around the globe
    Not once did you leave my mind
    We can play on the 'pod, from night till the morn
    App, you really change my life
    Doing things I never do
    I'm in the store downloadin' things it likes

    We're real worldwide, breaking all the rules
    Someday I wanna make you my #1 app
    That app, like something off Nintendo
    That app, is 2.99 they say
    That app, is gunna be on my iPod
    App running through my RAM all day, ay

    Astro Ranch's like a melody in my head
    That I can't keep out
    Got me tappin' like
    Tap tap tap tap everyday
    It's like Apple's approval process is on delay, delay-ay-ay-ay (2x)


    I can be your player
    A app that could write you a C++
    The one that could fill your fantasies
    So come app let's tap with me
    Ay, I can be your melody
    A app that could write you a C++
    The one that could fill your fantasies
    So come app let's tap with me

    Ay, na na na na na na na
    Na na na na na na
    Astro Ranch got me singing
    Na na na na na na na
    Na na na na na na na
    Now it got Hodapp singing

    Astro Ranch's like a melody in my head
    That I can't keep out
    Got me tappin' like
    Tap tap tap tap everyday
    It's like Apple's approval process is on delay, delay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

    It's time to send out, a group explorers
    Send them out to find out what new worlds are about
    When times get hard, a new Age is born
    This Age, humanity relying on ethanol from corn
    So two of the best agents shipped on the final frontier
    Were sent to farm, not knowing their time was near, 'cause
    Routy on their mission, they came to push and shove
    Before Agricultural Enterprise just fell from above
    One managed to escape, the other falling to his doom
    As he crash-landed on a planet with a sonic boom
    With only contact being of creatures in range
    The lost lonely twin set up Home on the Strange.

    Meet Max or Sindy in a world struck blue
    Learning how to farm on a land they never knew
    Rangers from a land, they were nicked katonk
    Dropped from space where no one can hear you honk
    To sell to the universe in a trillion shops
    They found their land to grow the perfect crop
    With soil so rich and a stock so alive
    Who knew that the best ranch would be simple not strived
    With Spickens and Huffalo it's time to drop
    To the most obscure farm you see you just have to stop
    It's time to make a difference, time to make a change
    So let's set up home on the Home on the Strange.

    Judging by this competition being posted, I'm assuming it's not gonna be released for another few days. I'll push my expectancy to Monday.

    So, does this mean we should expect the game by Monday?
    Or, should we not look for the game until Monday?

    Well we expected it on the 21st, and now its almost a week later. Also, he said they're hoping for a monday release, which makes me think it'll be a little later.

    Oh yeah, I predicted this way back in the beginning. This will now become a "MARCH" release.

    No, I am not enjoying that I was right. Notice how there was no confirmation if this was resubmitted, which I know it probably was.

    I wish this could show developers in the future - Have an Apple approval in your pocket before you get people all pumped up for a release date that won't happen, especially when it's got DLC.

    I hope the Hats and Shirts in the DLC were worth the holdup.

    I think the thread will probably be less active till the release. Not saying anyone's losing customers, more along the lines of people getting bored of looking at the thread to see disappointment.

    I'm not bored with waiting, it will come out when it comes out.

    It's just a game man!

    So I'll play it when I get it, maybe even win some contests in between, that's how TAG games rolls.

    Maybe they have just run out of things to say? The thread is just about a game and now we're just wanting to actually play it. Enjoy and embrace the excitement of silence :)

    Hmm, I wonder how that term came about, and when?

    I have a hard time relating something being "silent" with something being "golden". It is almost like trying to compare apples to space.

    Saying "Apples is space" sounds strange right?

    So does "Silence is Golden".

    Perhaps it has to do with the value of gold at the time when the phrase came about?

    Well yes i do believe at the time it came about, Gold was one of the highest metal's to discover.

    It makes slightly more sense if you say:
    "Space is Apples"
    If you are Max or Sindy that is, lol.
