Where's the sex joke?

[Belgarion]

Every ratchet and clank subtitle has a sexual allusion. What does rift apart mean?

[Megiddo (Bear)]

Is this a rhetorical question? Rift Apart, is a parted "rift". Rift being a sort of entrance that you pass through. Pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together from there.

Into the Nexus isn't a sex reference either. Neither is Deadlocked, and All 4 One. This game just doesn't have one.

[ToJKa]

Going Commando is still my favorite

[Duckilous]

I saw someone mention it's a fart joke like "ripped a fart" but I don't think it's funny as the other subtitles.

Huh? I don't see how that's an ass reference but you could make it a little lewd if you turn the title into an acronym (and add a "k" to it).

We almost had innuendos for Into the Nether Regions or Four-Play / Fiends with Benefits while A Crack In TIme was used to be Clockblockers but Sony had to be a bunch of prudes.

[AskaLangly]

All 4 One is fore-play.
Deadlocked is involving S & M.

Up Your Arsenal is better.

They also wanted to call A Crack in Time, Clock Blocked (or Clockblockers, can't remember) but Sony said no.

[cyäegha]

PAL regions never had the innuendo-laced titles so, eh
free shrugs

'deadlocked' is allegedly an allusion to BDSM
"gladiator" is more evocative of what the game is actually about, for what it's worth

Rift apart is a spread asscheeks joke.

[softgrip]

I thought it was meant like Ratchet & Clank: Rip a Fart

[Freak4Leeks]

Rift Apart = Ripped Apart = Goatse

duhhh

I was thinking that too, but the simple Ripped a Fart makes sense.

Tools of Destruction, would be like dirty tools for pleasure.

[Balder]

Sweet Baby Inc worked on the story for this game, so any kind of edgy humour was probably excised from the game during development, if it ever was there to begin with.
