Yeah, but I thought I'd translate for you guys since I've been told some words are hard to understand. Besides, that's what we call real, live chazwuzzers. The kind that lives in throats comes from an English saying, so frog works too. Sorry to confuse~

"Merchandizing! Merchandizing! Put the movie's name on everything! Spaceballs(TM), the T-Shrit! Spaceballs(TM), the lunchbox! Spaceballs(TM), the video game! Spaceballs(TM), the flamethrower! Kids really love those last two. And, of course, Spaceballs(TM), the talking doll. Me."


Though, Spaceballs(TM), the gam mak suite could also totally be a thing.

No, no I don't.

"If you ever bite into a game making project you can't handle, just spit it out while no one is looking. Afterward pretend you had nothing to do with it."- an untold politician
"You want to deliver vast amounts of content through the game. And again, a game is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your content in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anything else in that tube."

Games are a series of tubes. You have to consider how much content you want to put down you game-tube. Because otherwise you will clog your game-tube, and need to get the game-plunger before your content overflows all over onto the floor. Okay, maybe I'm thinking it's more like a toilet...
