Rampancy

If you're not nearly as behind the curve as I am, then you already know that Wideload Games' upcoming party title Hail to the Chimp has released a new trailer that you can see on GameTrailers.

What you may have missed is Michael Mann's latest blog entry at the Huffington Post that seems to show that HttC owes no less to the humor of Terrance and Philip than did their previous outing, Stubbs the Zombie:

In our "Stuff the Ballot Box" gametype, you deposit clams into a well; the first character who collects 75 is declared the winner. Another has a giant stink cloud, otherwise known as "The Stench of Corruption," which stalks the player with the fewest clams. You don't want to be surrounded by this cloud as it is smelly and nobody likes the stinky kid -- especially clams, who jump from your clutches until you are out of the race. Other gametypes are more intellectual, including one that has a similar mechanic to the game Othello.

Sounds like a neat-- if aromatic-- gameplay mechanic. For the sake of realism, though, shouldn't the stench of corruption follow the player with the most clams?
