Why don't we take the budget for this game, and put it into charity where it will turn a bigger profit?

I hope this game loses a ton of money, and everyone learns a valuable lesson on how NOT to make a video game.

It's no longer a swimming action-RPG or whatever they were rambling about when they announced this project, so I am totally disinterested.

Well, this game's certainly "causing some waves."

If you get what I'm saying.

If you're picking up what I'm putting down.

If you look closely, you can see the disappointment on Phelps' face. I feel for him.

I'd be lying if I told you told yinz I'd been interested in this game, but if it even gets half those attractive ladies into ones house, it gets my vote.

I know some people worked hard on this, but c'mon. This is dumb. The reason you go swimming is to get away from playing video games for awhile, yeah?
