It's a little old but this article was the topic of conversation this week among some of the development team.

This is a great pole TomT. I think everyone should read the link before they vote. The option of 'love' concerns me greatly. I would like to read why people have voted for their choice though.

Where is the suspense option? The horror tales? The petrifying myths?

Suspense, thriller, horror, dun dun dun!


Well I put my vote under Thrill of Danger...

Next best thing right?

Looks like noone really liked to compete, so no challange eighter.. I always found human being as more challanging to compete with, than computer, but oh well.



What you can failure tommorow, failure today.

Pssh, like there is any other answer than Physical Activity?

*Challenges everyone to a game of Pan-flute Hero III*

Actually I voted for "Creation."
