Brilliant article. I have never played Viva but Im interested to see it, although now I will be playing it with a sinister atmosphere in mind.
250: Garden of Brutality
- Thread starter Ryan Lambie
- Start date
Remembers me off my uncle's farm where all the workers hate snakes. But one off them gets really pissed when someone kills a "Limpa-Campo"(field cleaner) one specie that feeds on another snakes:
"Can't these ignorants tell the difference between them?" he says.
"Can't these ignorants tell the difference between them?" he says.
Mentioned this before, and, will continue to do so every time a topic on Viva Pinata comes up...but, I had the misfortune of having a Sour Shellybean enter my garden, this was, around the time I had just started playing. So, working under the impression that the red and black Pinatas were the bad guys, I took decisive action.
So equipped with my shovel I beat the Shellybean several times, till it lay on the grass, gasping in it's death throes. Then...before I made the final strike to end it all, the creature began to emit the most piteous, heart-wrenching wail. I got that awful feeling in my gut, eyes pricked with tears. I had done something monstrous. I tried desperately to do something, to fix the situation. But to no avail, the doctor would not come, after all, this was not one of my pinatas... In the end I did the only thing I could. I silenced it. Put it out of it's misery with a single swing of my bladed implement.
Excellent article though!

I'm half convinced that Viva Pinata isn't actually intended for children, it just happens to have the most condescending voice actress in the world.
