If you want to find out why and laugh at Viddler in the process, you can <a href=\"?p=17165\">read the entire silly story for yourself<\/a>.<br\/><br\/>At any rate, the video is gone. Sorry.

The game goes out of its way to show that your slave collar will detonate if you run.  Fine, fine.  But then the game forgets all about this and everyone just runs off with no problem. What&#8217;s the deal with these collars? Are they proximity based? Or are they detonated manually by one of the slave owners? <\/p>\n<p>There are fences and armed guards to keep the slaves in check, so the story doesn&#8217;t need the collars to justify their imprisonment.  It&#8217;s just another element of the world that&#8217;s established, forgotten about, and then contradicted, leaving nagging questions or plot holes. <\/p>\n<p>Also, as Josh mentioned, we are now recording in <strong>W&nbsp;I&nbsp;D&nbsp;E&nbsp;S&nbsp;C&nbsp;R&nbsp;E&nbsp;E&nbsp;N!<\/strong> What he doesn&#8217;t mention because we didn&#8217;t know it until now, is that Viddler is crap and doesn&#8217;t recognize the widescreen-ness of the video.  It insists on mooshing it down to some other aspect ratio, and no degree of fussing with the embedded player size can correct this.
