It'd be nice if he could have his mental issues properly treated. I think I've earned like 100x his kickstarter since the time he first announced his game and now.

My faovrite thing to do with all that crazy is to Ctrl+F for "black plastic" since apparently he put trashbags over the windows of every single place he's ever lived.

Oh man, I had completely forgotten about Bob and his game. Also, didn't he start using the word 'yu' instead of 'you'? What the hell was that all about?

This is why we love/hate Bob

For his next trick, Bob should declare himself a transwoman and watch as Polygon does a fluff piece feature article on him. He'll have all the money he'd ever need and actual working games journalists would unironically defend his insane rear end as "an important voice."

I thought as far as his audience was concerned he was a bit like uli now, where people just follow a mentally ill person for kicks and maybe kick in $10 ever couple of years to keep the show going.

Not that I wanna watch the guy suffer or anything, I'd be honestly IRL happy for him to turn his life around and get his poo poo together but nobody would read my updates if they were all "Bob is happy and healthy and making an honorable wage doing an honest day's work and even has a fine new lass in his life" and these updates are the most interesting things I've written in a while, all things considered, so bob please don't fix up your life, keep giving me more material man, I would appreciate it also i love this post so much: Treebeh posted:This was recently posted on his Facebook page.

I remember this video he put up on YouTube a long time ago, right around when the Nintendo Store opened in NYC. He went there in his gothic combat boots and colored hair and put empty DS cases of Bobs Game on the shelves until he was asked to leave. He looked so dumb. That's when he was going all crazy for Nintendo rejecting him, and then just being retarded and digging himself a deeper and deeper hole. He even admitted that Nintendo cared nothing but numbers, i.e. what you have successfully made money on before. It's perfectly fair in my opinion. Instead of learning from that, he ridiculed them nonstop for being some soulless and evil corporation. Anyway, AFAIK the video has been deleted, but maybe there's a copy somewhere.

When a habitual scammer finds religion, you can be pretty sure its just another scam. Also he can't return all the Kickstarter money for free. Aside from Kickstarter's take there are going to be transaction fees. He would have to invest a lot of his own money (which he doesn't have) to return the $10,000+ donated. It would be easier for him to just release some poo poo pixel JRPG. You know, like he was going to do a decade ago.

Kickstarter takes 10% right? So, he's out $1,040.90 from the get go. That'll be money he'll never see, good thing he's got backers who gave him money for free and don't want it back.

Welcome to the FEBRUARY 2015 UPDATE GOOD NEWS: Bob probably wasn't working on Bob's Game this whole time, but he's back, hitting the bricks once again. A Bob's work is never done, and yet another month has passed. Many, many new games came out this past Christmas, people have accomplished amazing feats in gaming and technology, and then we have Bob. And Bob, well... Bob is still working on Bob's Game! *sick guitar riff, the one that you hear when you start up F-Zero X on N64, with a big ol' title card* The thing about uncommunicative Kickstarters is that you always get the weirdest mishmash of commenters. Some people are full of vitriol and hate, and rightly so. Some people are trolls and act smug which comes with the territory (but they're out money, too, so I guess joke's on them?) , and then you have the handful of people who just kind of... stay optimistic. I glossed over someone with Kickstarter Stockholm Syndrome a while ago, but I really don't understand what goes through these people's minds. I totally get it when people wanna toss Bob some cash to keep up his endless antics, but I don't get when people... kinda just wanna support their scammers and fuckups, like it's their own retarded child and they have a loving parental bond. Jerry posted:Hey Robert (or Bob Glad to see you will at least release it as open-source at this point, that will be really interesting! I also really hope that some not so distant day everyone can finally see it finished by your own initial glorious vision, released on GoG or Steam or others, and you can make some deserved money out of it in the end (even if small, or big? who knows? ) JoePug posted:It would be nice if Bob actually gave us a meaningful reply and actually backed it up with some action. As Bob has been mostly silent, save for a few vague comments before canceling the project. He doesn't really say anything and he has not kept one promise. At the very least, he could of mailed out those signed business cards as an act of good faith....like it promised. I like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the clock keeps ticking and.....silence. Jerry posted:Yeah you are absolutely right. I also hated the almost absolute lack of any communication or update on progress (If there even was some significant.. :d) and not keeping to any promise. Even those cards which would take i guess a whole day of work at most. Bob, it looks like you have a true friend in Jerry. Don't squander it. Even though I know you will. So, Bob still hasn't mailed out the business cards and is still staying vague. No refunds on the horizon, not a lot of new posts, and even his Facebook page has gone mostly private. Looks like ol' Bob's trying to keep a low profile right now. Shoulda asked for more money, bob. A clever investor could make $10,409 sing, but you can't live on that for very long. Oh, and in reply to Bob's "Everything's back on track" post at the beginning? And he probably is.
