-Then you go into the chamber and sacrifice yourself.
-Dude, that ****ing sucks. You think the players likes playing through 100h only to die in the end no matter what they do?
-What the **** are you talking about, the player will love it. It's ****ing drama, man!
-No they wont, and what if you have that dude Farnsworth with you thats friggin immune to radioactivity? Then its just pointless.
-****, well Ill just write some **** about fate and stuff, they'll buy that.
-No they wont.
-Oh yeah, well whatever! Im the ****ing lead game designer and we do whatever the **** I say, ok? If you dont like it then you can go **** yourselves!!
