What it is, is that the people at Creative Assembly initially were afraid that their product might not sell as well as they hoped. So as an early marketing ploy they used as special type of disc which uses a laboratory induced process that makes sugar as durable as plastic. These special discs then came in a variety of flavors: Vanilla, Pistachio, Chocolate, Strawberry, Rum Raisin, Butter Banana... they even tried experimental flavors such as the infamous Skunk Butt Tartar and Hogan's Heroes (that one had a leathery texture, and kept trying to escape from the box). And everything was fine, because if you weren't happy with the game you could use it for a semi nutritious, but totally delicious (well except for the Hogan's Hero versions), snack.


But then something went wrong, as often happens with everything is alright.


All the flavors started rebelling against their game playing masters. Computers were being taken over by strange mutant compact disk creatures, which would turn these computers then into Zombies. No, not the flesh eating version, the version that other computers use to attack nations such as Estonia (you may remember that happening a couple years ago). That is, all the flavors except for Vanilla. Something about the chemical makeup kept it loyal and decent.


So of course, there was a giant recall and cover up. People in China were further censored, and the CIA was heavily involved. And of course we were supposed all give up our more delicious versions of the games, but because the Vanilla disks had never caused trouble many people chose to keep theirs. And are probably still licking them today.

So you see, that's what all that Vanilla talk is about, and the reason you know nothing about it is that your Government doesn't want you to. But of course, there's videos all about it on Youtube. It's called the "Operation Antidiabetic Conspiracy". Check it out.



And the moral, of course to this is that Direct Download not only saves you from having to interact with Ebay merchants or your local Walmart employee, it also keeps the world free from terrorists.
