    I am not friends with Adam, I simply know who he is. You have accused me of posting under multiple accounts and of being paid by the developer.

    .... and the arguments keep unraveling....

    "I didn't say that"

    "oh what if I did..."

    ok, I'm done here for now.

    Freedog I just have to point out that your $9 bag of chips comparison might be the most asinine thing I've seen today. Most people have no problem paying a premium for things they think are good, whether that's a great video game or a food product that they enjoy.

    Hell, I just got back from a beer tasting at a local microbrew where I spent $22 on four bottles of craft beer. Did I get ripped off because I paid over 5x more than I would have if I just rolled in to the local 7-11 and bought four much larger bottles of Olde English?

    No, because I like beer, and much like how people don't mind giving a few dollars to indie developers to support their work, I like paying a premium to small local breweries so they can stay in business and continue creating crazy good beer.

    Oh wait, let me guess, I'm getting some kind of kickback from the microbrewery for saying I like their beer right...? LOL.

    thank god, Arn I respect you as an administrator I'll answer all the questions you want no matter if some people like the opinion or not. But its really not worth spending hours on this thread when the game doesn't even have enough content to be worth the price. In my opinion of course, Arn. Now onto some real games...

    Hodapp, just quit starting trouble. If you have emotional problems or wanna get yourself all worked up defending a game fine, do it with someone else who thinks its worth getting all emotional.

    The funny thing is out of all the people in this thread I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who has even met the sinister Saltsman in person. I'm pretty sure he slipped me something then dragged me off to his underground lair where I was brainwashed in to liking the game.

    THINK ABOUT IT.

    Translation: Welp, my argument doesn't hold water soo uhh... you must have emotional problems- SHILL!!!!

    You do realize I'm not the only person that is part of NimbleBit? Marshmonkey is my brother and co-founder of NimbleBit. Does that seem possible to you?

    How odd that it was only you at WWDC, and... when your "brother" is around, you're nowhere to be found...

    lol I was kidding. I thought it sounded like one of those WWE wrestling things (or w/e they're called). But thanks for clearing that up

    repost: It seems like 1.25 would be a good deal, maybe 1.50... its a bit too gray to keep me entertained consecutively, but i keep coming back to it, and not because It cost me 2.99... its a bit gray, but sometimes thats part of its charm
