I have in the past submitted reviews, and discussions, and won just once???!!! very nice feeling it was too!!
I wonder how so many regular names are up on the winners board. In just a few days, the same person can win 3 or 4 times. I have even wondered whether they may be related to the Special Reserve staff!! or simply are perched up next to their keyboards with a drinking straw fixed into their mouths, so that they never leave the room for a meal relief. How do they do that? I have visions of someone stinking of unwashed body odour, and a broom handle wedged up his back to keep him from falling away from his all important typing. Being spoon fed from a partner, for fear that he might die of starvation. It would be terrible if you were to die without the joy of winning a game from one of your entries!!!
How do they do that? I have only ever won once? (at this point people should go 'aaaaaaaaah'). Never mind, congrats to those who walk around eventually, looking like a zombie from 'resident evil', and thinking about it, with their hands stook out in front of them in typing poise they really do look like the walking zombies from resident evil.
How do they do that? Please let me win just once more?!!!
I am married with 25 kids, and not long to live....(60 years at maximum). Again, how do they do that?

Hmnm, very strange that. I checked your stats and you haven't one at all? Care to explain? You say you have won once, but you haven't :P Maybe Loki is on a day off or something :-D

Speaking of Wookiee, has anyone seen him about today?

Maybe the broom has fallen out...

Hello, and welcome to...

HOW DO THEY DO THAT?

Today I shall be asking

HOW DO THEY DO THAT?

to Arthur P. Crutch from Crystal Dynamics how they have managed to come up with such a crap name for one of their Xbox titles Mad Dash Racing.

So, Arthur, Mad Dash Racing really is a very, very crap name for a game, you really have managed to capture the complete essence of naffness, so may I ask

HOW DO THEY DO THAT?

Well we here at Crystal Dynamics wanted a name that would really tell you what the game was about, and if you've played it you'll certainly know that it's mad! Just look at those zany characters, aren't they mad? Oh, and you must dash, in order to win the race. And the word racing is thrown in too, because we wanted to make it obvious that it was a racing game. Though the word dash really does imply that already, doesn't it? And I'm not so sure that the word 'Mad' is right either, they're definitly more 'Wacky' than 'Mad'. Um, can we change the title to 'Wacky Racers?' Oh, that's already taken. Um, Mad Dash Racing it is then. Damn, that it a crap name. Damn, no one will buy that.

Thank you Arthur. Join us again next time when we ask

HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
