User blog:Thethirdpathcometh/So many questions...

Seeing that there isn't a page here for wonderings about why that is, why that isn't or why-ever I'm making this up, I'm posting this on my own blog.

Here are some questions that have probably plagued other players of BTD5 all for the sake of questioning:

 1. Is the Juggernaut some form of compensation for something?;)

 2. Why do Tack Shooters look like the deadly Daleks but Spike Factories look like toasters or rice cookers?

 3. Real-life snipers can take down a blimp with just one bullet. Why not on BTD5?

 4. Why do Buccaneers waste so many grapes? (And why do they fire on only one side at a time but not simultaneously when they have guns on both sides?)

But they are questions nonetheless and it is our duty to say them so the people who make the game know how we take notice of their work and appreciate their contributions to society.
