Currently, I have NES and SMS games. I might expand more in the future. It was mostly created as a learning experience and for a site I'm working on.

Also, I've been unpacking gems a lot lately, and I find that the way that faker works is pretty easy to customize to my needs. I've been using faker, its very nice.

I hear you about the hardwired fake data. The idea of it is to get you up and running fast, with method_missing there if you want something different. If enough people want to be able to specify their own fake information we could definitely add that. Most of the last few releases were driven by people submitting patches, so all are welcome!

A huge benefit to all these is you can test your application with large quantities of data easily. Something that is fast with 10 records might crash with 1000 records.
