A Wombat's Journey To Market

The increasingly entertaining Next Generation has the story of the fictional game "Chortle Wombat's" journey from design to market. From the article: "Our internal testers have been working with the wombat for months. The game is content complete, stable, and bugs counts are dropping daily at a satisfactory rate. So we submit a build to Sony and Microsoft for presubmission and continue beavering (wombating?) away. This presubmission means Sony and Microsoft's test departments can get their hands on the current build and get some early visibility on what might need to be fixed when they receive a release candidate."
