Finished the monster truck boss in time for Carpoon's one year anniversary! I told Peach the composer that I would be done *checks watch* eight months ago. I'm glad though that my friends wanted a little more during play testing.
Cars may be harpooned in this for an anniversary update.

While I don't get all games as physical media due to space, I still did for titles I'd like to go back to in the future. Marketing move for Sony to try and have it overshadowed by worse news.
