Hmm, I quite liked this post. It's nice to see you taking some risks with your trolling rather than just rehashing the same old stuff. The post itself is quite funny - much more amusing than Muslim Massacre was when I played it. But the humour of Muslim Massacre was obviously not in the game itself, but in the reaction to it. The reaction to this post is likely to be nonexistent, since the joke is too obvious and the targeted community is too small.

Do you write for Rotten Tomatoes or something?

Community walkthrough for this game:

Mission 1:
  • Read post title
  • Secondary Objective: Recognise original poster

Mission 2:
  • Skip through non-bold text, reading only the bolded names
  • Secondary Objective: Read first sentence of original post

Mission 3:
  • Skip past replies
  • Secondary Objective: Stop to read any replies that sound outraged

Mission 4:
  • Post an outraged reply! Spend several paragraphs defending each developer
  • Secondary Objective (for 5 extra lives): Recognise the troll and spend several paragraphs deconstructing Sigvatr's trolling technique

I'm sure SIGVATR is jealous because he's just trying to be like Derek YU

Derek Yu is Sigvatr

I'm more of a Derek Yu than you'll ever be!   Cry


(note, this is not directed at Derek Yu who is entirely Derek Yu, or Sigvatr, who is also Derek Yu)

No. Sigvatr wants to be Jonathan Blow. He took his game down from his site because it was so much more interesting to discuss the cultural impact of his game and his reasons for making the game, releasing it, and unreleasing it, than to play it.

I would nominate myself for this thread in an attempt to promote my games, but I don't have anything serious to market with. So yeah, I won't nominate myself just yet... keep that for when I want to market something. Negative publicity is better than none.  Well, hello there!

This thread needs citation. If you were really consumed by your righteous fury, you would have included sample strawman quotes taken ridiculously out of context, either from the target or from someone talking about the target. Quotes will make your Crusade against indie development far more effective, by adding a level of fake credibility to what would otherwise be (and currently is) completely incoherent and unjustifiable.

Not to rain on your crusade or anything, but I'm just not convinced by the arguments you're currently putting up. Shrug
