I've always had a funny thought whenever I see the game Just Cause, and its upcoming sequel Just Cause 2 (whose demo just landed on XBLA today). Although I realize that the "Cause" in the name is pronounced as "Kôz" (like in the term "cause and effect"), I like to think of them as "Kəz", as in the shortened version of the word "because". Did I lose you yet? I hope not. Keep reading.

Secondly, once I start thinking of the game as "Just 'Cause", I like to imagine that you play as a super-nice pushover guy who just walks around and does good deeds for people "just 'cause".

"Oh darling, you bought me flowers! Why'd you do such a thing for me?"
"Just 'cause, honey."

I really need to get out more.
