    Another vote for savable progress! I beat the first two years and then hibernated too early!

    Yes I will, for the same reason Pocket God has lived a comfortable life on my phone for the better part of six months now.

    Yes, loved it as a kid, thanks for reminding me! And Toonces is obviously related to Enviro-Bear thru the animal kingdom somehow, they have the exact same arm! I wish YouTube had a better video (like the Terminator 2 parody :D) but this is about the best I could do:





    So I drank the TA Kool-Aid and d/l'ed Enviro-Bear, and all I can really say is... I now believe in God. I realize now that my entire life, I've just been swimming in a sea of despair, searching blindly for that one thing that can give my life purpose. Something to LIVE for. I've wasted so many of my years on such hollow enterprises: family, girlfriends, friends, school, career... I see now that they've all been a huge waste of my time. From the first time I guided Enviro-Bear's gentle paw from the gas pedal to the steering wheel, I knew that THIS was TRUE fulfillment. My only regret is that I passed over this thread (my Bible, if you will) for so long, not realizing the important lessons to be learned within it.

    Late last night, under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and in a fit of depression, I read every single post in this thread. It made so much sense, my sea of despair wasn't a sea at all, but a river... filled with trout. I've spent the first 28 years of my life, standing idly by, waiting for something but not sure what. Now I realize that I've just been waiting for Enviro-Bear to come crashing thru my river of despair, knocking me into His car thru the open windows and/or roof, and help Him collect enough sustenance to last thru a harsh winter. Literally, give my life purpose.

    Now that that has happened, today is a new day. I'm drinking black coffee, I've quit my job, disassociated myself with my loved ones, sold all my possessions (save for iPod and Mac) and have prepared myself to live out the rest of my years in quiet servitude of Enviro-Bear. I never understood, retracing the steps of my lifetime, why there would be two sets of footprints in the sand and then suddenly only one. Now I know, that's the times that Enviro-Bear was carrying me. And then placing me in a car. And then driving me. Poorly. Thru the woods. And into a cave.

    I urge you, if you're not sure what direction your life is taking, or if you're confused about making moral choices, please, download Enviro-Bear 2010 - Operation: Hibernation and start down the path of salvation. If this post doesn't convince you, I can assure you, I'll be going door to door and will eventually end up at YOUR door. The raw power of Enviro-Bear in person will no doubt convert you. I'm looking forward to amassing an army of Enviro-Bear-mentalists to lead the human race into the Holy Land. Amen.

    Don't despair for the meaningless time you wasted in the past. Rejoice in the future you have, warm in the comforting fur of Enviro-Bear. Let the cares and problems in your life be propelled out of your car as if they were badgers. Collect the joy that only Enviro-Bear can bring as if they were plump berries, begging to be plucked. This is your future. Go toward the cave...go to it. Live the fulfilled life that only Enviro-Bear can bring you. Welcome to the den.

    Hilarious! My favorite quote:

    Man what I wouldn't do for an Enviro Bear 2010 t-shirt. :)

    Perhaps the first real 'cult' game for the iPlatform. I said it before earlier in the thread, but in a sea of knockoff and copycat apps, this game stands out.

    A very moving account of one man's journey and subsequent awakening, my brother.

    Thank you for that.

    Thank you for the words of encouragement, I really do feel like my life has just begun.
    And thank YOU for being such a huge part of this movement :) Forge on brother, forge on for your berries and fish.

    QFT!




    I had no idea that before Enviro-Bear was changing lives, he was also helping out on the Price Is Right:



    Lmao at the comment on the actual YouTube page, it's almost the same as the app description's first line!

    I love me some Price is Right, but this was actually a low point in Enviro-Bear's life. This was part of his "searching for purpose" phase in life, just months before he sat below a berry bush and meditated for days until he reached nirvana...stop trying to sell cars to overweight tourists and DRIVE my OWN car to self-sufficiency and self-awareness. Looking at this video is like seeing the Dalai Llama sell the ShamWow!

    Haha, lmao! I can't believe how close people were getting to that bear. It could have turned on any of them and ripped them to shreds! Luckily, it must be common knowledge that Enviro-Bear has a heart of gold, and would never so much as harm anything but angry badgers.

    TBQH, I wouldn't care at all if this thread turned into a smorgasbord of people posting their "bears involved with cars" videos. In fact, I encourage it.
    Very true. Enviro-Bear was living in Hollywood at this time, squandering his new found fame and fortune from the Price is Right on cheap bear call girls and freebasing mashed up berries. Once he hit absolute rock bottom, there was nowhere to go but up.

    Enviro-Bear 2010 is currently #88 in the Top Paid Apps on the App Store. It's currently outselling Rolando 2, and is barely neck and neck with Peggle at #87. Also, If it can just manage a few more spots it will also be beating both DOOM Resurrection and Tweetie.

    If loving Enviro-Bear 2010 is wrong, I don't want to be right.

    I don't know how you guys can say this game wasn't worth two front page posts. It went from absolutely nothing to smashing the sales charts and even making an appearance on TV. What other games have done that recently that we haven't covered?
