Volition Asks Saints Row Fans to Prove Fart-In-A-Jar Desire

Anyone that wants a fart-in-a-jar to appear in Saints Row: The Third better speak up now.

After talked about [http://www.amazon.com/Saints-Row-Third-Playstation-3/dp/B004QEWVLC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1300380645&sr=8-2] the process of figuring out what would be appropriate for the game's over-the-top sense of humor. One item that didn't make the cut was the fart-in-a-jar grenade. This apparently enraged fans, so Volition is giving them a chance to have their voices heard.

A tweet from the Saints Row twitter account [http://twitter.com/#!/saintsrow] reads: "Seriously - Let us know if you want #fartinajar in Saints Row: The Third. We want to hear from all of you!" If you want the fart-in-a-jar to be reintroduced to Saints Row, reply to the account using the "#fartinajar" hashtag.

The fart-in-a-jar grenade would evidently contain an extremely potent quality of gas. Anyone near its smashing point would vomit uncontrollably, allowing players to easily murder them.

Even in Saints Row, would it really feel right carrying around an arsenal of farts... in jars? It's a silly item, but how one actually gets a fart into a jar is beyond me. If Volition were to put the weapon in the game, I think it'd have to also create an entire fart-in-a-jar factory and side mission to explain the truth behind it.

[Darth Brownie]

well, after jarate from TF2, this doesn't sound THAT silly

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Sounds near useless, but fun none-the-less.

I mean, why disable foes in Saint's Row? JUST KILL!

 

[Doctor What]

Well, this is Saint's Row, after all. And it is nothing but over the top.

Personally, I think this would become like the stun gun from the second game to me. Never used once.

 

[Zhukov]

Yes, it is possible to put a fart in a jar.

You need to be standing in water up to your waist though.

...

What?

...

Hey, I'm Australian. We know these things.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

Eh, I don't like the idea, I can see why it was scrapped. It seems a little too crude to me.

Of course if fans demand it, I can just not use it. Problem solved.

 

[Danpascooch]

Not interested, they made the right decision, there's stupid-funny and the there's just stupid

 

[FogHornG36]

When are they just going to jump the shark and start doing dead baby jokes?

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Well it might not necessarily be farts-in-a-jar, just some sort of odor based weapon that the admittedly crude main characters would refer to as farts in a jar.

I like this idea, I hope it goes in, it sounds like used right it could be quite an effective weapon.

 

[Dogstile]

I predict Volition will be getting allot of Jars in the mail.

Sounds near useless, but fun none-the-less.

Well when you're getting mobbed by the cops, it helps if they're not firing back.

I was about to say, has anyone got their offices address, i'm pretty sure I can label a jar, fart in it, and send it over there.

Its comical, and gets the point across

The Stun Gun is great in co-op. Stun lock your partner to grief 'em. Even with Friendly Fire off!

Mind Blown.

I'm trying that this afternoon.

OT: Why not? It's funny, it doesn't take away from the game, and you don't have to use it,

 

[qbanknight]

Love this game series a lot, but yeah I'm with the developers original thought that maybe fart-in-a-jar is a little too stupid for an over-the-top, zany fun

WHY DID YOU PUT THAT IMAGINE INTO MY BRAIN?

 

[Sixties Spidey]

I think I heard Yahtzee skip with joy. I just tweeted it now, and if it actually does make it, that game will be a Day 1 purchase for me.

God only knows what that place would smell like. There would be more deaths and suicides there than at Foxconn.
