Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn't actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

Lower than I expected
Yeah I don't think I've ever heard that term before in my life and I've been doing this for a while.
And I don't think I ever wanna hear it again.
Wut?
This is purely because Twitter changed their pricing structure to charge out the nose for API calls so Nintendo and other don't wanna pay big money for a worthless feature.

The amount of times their credit card machine would just "break" so that you'd be forced to pay in cash and tip much more back then was staggering.

IMO a lot of the subtlety comes from the imagery and symbols around you as you progress through the game. The vibrant tree that you pass that burns up when you look back, etc.
As far as gameplay goes it is very linear. The only "choice" is to stop playing. If I remember correctly the development behind Spec Ops was very rushed so they didn't have time to so any of those branching paths.

Don't know why it got deleted.
"It's pretty clear to everyone who the song [Redneck] is about. Just watch the Killadelphia DVD, and you'll see what was going on. I love Randy like a brother, but that doesn't mean we don't have our problems. So if I have to be the one to say something, then I will. And if that means that someone's gonna get punched in the mouth, then someone's gonna get punched in the mouth... And if that means someone's going to have to sing a lyric about themselves, then they're gonna sing a lyric about themselves."
Yeah the marketing rot always follows where the audience is.
Nothing good can remain untainted.
"We're making something new and don't have high hopes for it. Just don't even bother"
