Default Viva Pinata does The Wicker Man



Well, this is an image somebody doctored from 'The Wicker Man', and old 70's flick. Basically, it involved a cop stumbling on people who sacrificed other by putting them in a giant structure and burning him alive.
And now, Hudson Horstachio goes all 'ritual' on us. What do you think?

The image is from a 'Before' (it was built) and after section.

That's not a doctored image. The dev team actually had a huge bonfire party after the game was released... maybe we can get them to repost some of the original pics here?

Can't find any at the moment, sorry, but I'm sure some will surface at some point.

You'll have to make do with the Kotaku story in the meantime.

That's right, we have a bonfire party every year and with VP having just RTM'd we had just enough energy left to build a giant horstachio. We even had giant wooden footprints coming around the side of the fire from the road. I'll have a look for some photo's, I've got them somewhere.

BIGsheep isn't, but everybody in the photo was involved in VP including myself. Here are a few more photo's:






And finally a fudgehog...



Remember, no pinata were hurt in the making of this bonfire.

I'm not, sorry. I helped build the bonfire behind the Horstachio but had to disappear before they made the ominiously large, crate horse.

Several other VP members are in there, but I won't name them as they're shy.

I was watching the Colbert Report and he had a picture pop up for a couple seconds of a giant horstachio, not the one pictured above. Does anyone know about this and where the picture came from.
