That would be hilarious, but Jon Blow was the one to say that.

I'm gonna post this here in the hopes someone watches it, if you haven't already! http://vimeo.com/37119711You could even consider sharing this video with others if you feel inclined to after viewing it.  (no embedded video function? kk) |

Looking at a stranger straight in the eye and telling him that his games suck because of his race is so mind-bogglingly dumb and cruel, especially if your main claim to fame is that you haven't released a platformer with a guy with a red hat.
That's never been done before, right?

That's not what happened. (Though I don't agree with what did.) |

That's not what happened. (Though I don't agree with what did.) yeah, for a start one or both of them were most assuredly staring at the ground, a wall, their hands, a steam powered gameboy, anywhere but the eyes of another living soul |

No, seriously. What's explained in this video is probably the best use of the internet I've ever heard of. And with all the ego-bruising and gdc, I'm hoping it's not overlooked by us. John, look at what has happened since then. It's so mindbogglingly positive. If you're going to post in this thread about how much you don't like what a guy said about video games once, watch the video and see how important another Fish debate really is. ("hey this is the unimportant thread, i don't have to be reasonable here!" I'd honestly rather people start a h8 fish/notch/johnblow thread somewhere and get it out your systems.) |

so what, are we trying to make "indie" synonymous to "insular, insensitive prick"?
I don't know about you guys, but I just went and shared this video everywhere I could.

I also shared that video where I could. I don't really have any large internet audience besides a few communities full of lovelies like this one
I also bought the kit
Strange that the poster-event night is 4/20... going to make it hard to convince a lot of my friends to come with me. unless I can somehow mix the holiday with the work...

I hate to break it to you, but that's exactly what most non-indies think about us. To be honest, you couldn't have picked a better phrase. Maybe throw in "hipster" somewhere. |
