yeah, I have to say, the alive backgrounds is a huge plus. And I much prefer them than Matthew's argument that "it's supposed to look bland!". Sure, I get the cold white lighting, but I love me that incinerator.

I really like the room with the machine that chops up the Scrabs myself.

That literally brought by fiancé to tears, so much so I had to turn the console off for about an hour. It was definitely an intelligent and powerful addition.

To tears? That's sounds like some serious over-reacting over something happening in the background.

Did she explain why it impacted her so much?

Hardly an over-reaction to someone wither a tender heart, who loves animals. She doesn't approve of animal slaughter, simple as that, and needless loss of life makes her emotional. She's even forced me to figure out ways to play through the games without harming anything save sligs and glukkons, unless it is absolutely vital. Even slogs are to be spared.

It certainly adds a new depth of challenge to the games. There was this part in Soulstorm Brewery with slogs and electric gates, and although it took me the better part of an hour to rework the puzzle and perfect the timing, no slogs were harmed. I think I added a few more silver hairs to my head, though.

I bet you do a "kill everything" run during your alone time.
