I wonder if anyone is going to opt out of the Explosion element...

Expect to see a lot of crystals+explosions games where the protagonist is a pony or accountant. It's a convenient place to bury an unwanted element, yet it makes it impossible to claim that the element isn't significantly present.

Also, I have discovered, in these elements, several new band names.

Unexpected... and lame. I guess some of us may look fondlier to last year's elements, now! :P

So long a wait just to get "Ponies" and "Accountants"?!? I'm sure there are some great game ideas waiting to be made out of those elements, but I feel kinda "cheated", I you know what I mean... Too high expectations, too many days waiting for those elements, too many clicks on the "Refresh" button, me thinks.

How litteral do these things have to be? For example, if I have a vehicle that plays a very prominant vehicle in my game called a Pony, could that work?

It's difficult to draw the line on that kind of thing. If it were just called a 'Pony' that might not be enough, but if it had a pony painted on the side that would increase its chances. Tough to call, but as with previous years, I recommend erring on the side of "definitely OK."

OK I'm up for the challenge. Just, don't expect my ponies to be nice and friendly. They'll carry chainsaws, and blow things up.

Okay, good to know. I think I can make it work... :)

I second this lol. Rambo style ponie

I like these! I have an idea where these elements should work out really well. We'll see. Let's get cracking! Good luck everyone.

So Halo's 'Warthog' probably wouldn't make it?
