Bob''s Game

[closetwam]

I feel exactly the opposite. That Bob is so dorktastic in the video makes me want the game to succeed (on it's own merit, though).

If the boxes in video were not empty... why it is not dumped to rom already...

So I'm just kind of curious who the DS game is actually being published by.

edit: the more they keep up this viral shit the less i want to play the game.

Why won't he stop?

Credit to him for coming up with some insane/unique marketing over the last few months, but I don't think it was executed that well. That last video was pretty tedious (5 minutes is 4 minutes too long for viral).

I'm keen to see the game though. I'm not sure it's going to live up to his hype, but it could be good.

Agreed. I can't be bothered with any of it.

It's interesting to watch unfold, kinda like the more aggressive series of big brother, or a car crash

 

[Yrx]

I really kind of like this guy after seeing that last one. hahahaha

 

[Falcon Delta]

What? This is still going on? Cripes I stopped caring about this after he trashed his room. And from the sounds of it he's getting exactly what he wants.

When I found out about this game (at the start of this thread) I really liked the look of it and wanted it to be good. I dunno why, but now I kind of want it to fail and be rubbish because of all this nonsense surrounding it. Maybe its because im british and we hate seeing people succeed.

Incorrect! I think we always go for the underdog in this country - considering everyone hates Bob and wants him to fail this means instant WIN surely?

"bobs game"

Coming soon for Google Android, Apple iPhone, and OpenPandora.
(And Nintendo DS, of course!) "

now with valentines day hearts!!

I didn't know yet he was planning to release it (for free?) as homebrew (so, not in a commercial way) for these platforms, including our beloved pandora. Even though he's a madman, the game might still be good.

Also, that youtube video is disturbing

 

[(naw)mcx]

Haha, the falling Reggie love hearts made me laugh.

Next 100 days he will surely sit in room for Nintendo's appoval to his mommy money as a developer financical stability aspect.

Well the Pandora bit seems to appear, disappear, reappear. Like everything else, believe when you see.

he just needs other systems to list for his viral bullshit. hes just using the name.

You guys keep saying "viral marketing", but I find no evidence that his marketing strategy has used any viral marketing techniques. His actions thus far likely fall within the "guerrilla marketing" domain.

From friends, forums and blogs. It's viral.
