Re: GUMNUT: NUTTY OR GUMMY?
On a very sad sidetrack...I have always wondered why Haem chose the name haemophilus? It isn't a nice name according to the lock in medical device in my head and i kept thinking of something else... x(

Yep, you're correct. Haemophilus roughly translates from Latin meaning 'blood loving'. Taken from the Haemophilus species of bacteria which is pathogenic, particularly H. influenzae.
For trivia, I use the name Haemophilus as a bit of a throwback/salute to my even nerdier past. Back before I worked in Games.
Edit - Just saw your comment saying you work on bacteria too. *aseptic high five!*
- @PowerToss hahahahahahahaahah no wonder...... I wondered who asked that question to Haem in the first place? xD
I'm not as concerned with how the plant works as I am with how to pronounce it. According to the gentleman in the video, we are all mangling its name. The proper pronunciation is: GOOM NEWT. Please make note of this for future reference.
And on to the other tangent. I assumed Haem's name was a reference to hemophilia - the bleeding disease caused by lack of a clotting factor in the blood.
Got you level 5 Gumnut!
That's all gumnut seeds collected for this season.
I'm actuallly using Gumnut in levels where you need to acquired a certain amount of sun
Gum up a zombie and remover all damage dealersin that lane, the zombies take a looong time chewing, even if a garg is bashing the gum
I like gumnut a little more as when he's boosted by reinforcemint he blows gum at the zombies.
