Here's the conversation that spawned Destroy All Humans! photo

Do you ever wonder where the ideas behind some of your favorite videogames come from? Of course you do, you're reading this Web site, silly.

For anyone who enjoys bragging about their knowledge of completely useless yet interesting game-related facts to friends, you will want to check the post out. While it may not be as cool as the infamous scrapped Resident Evil 4 video, it's really interesting nonetheless. Go check it out!
