Blow was in that and while he's a bit of a wanker I really, really like his games.

With Phil Fish, I think he's a very talented and clever game designer and I don't really care that he's a dick, though it's annoying that his dickishness and and people's other hatred of him because of it seems to have effected his desire to make games (though he did that VR thing recently).

Real hurthling!

phil fish's big problem is that he can't let stuff go on twitter which is like the biggest life skill you could ever learn in these times.

Phil Fish would have been way better off if he hadn't become the poster child for indie games. It both made him more of a target and stroked his ego to a level that probably wasn't good for him personally and the end result was putting a guy who would have done way better on the sidelines right into the spotlight and made him the target for everyone eager to take a potshot at an easy target AND gave him enough self-importance he wasn't willing to just disengage.

It's sad because if he were just a modestly successful indie developer he'd probably be a lot happier.

Totally unrelated to the current discussion, I just learned about Bonesaw being banned from running at AGDQ/SGDQ next year and man, that kind of sucks. He was super entertaining. He probably shouldn't have encouraged the viewers to spam Air Canada on Twitter, though.

Been mulling over the various analysis of the Death Stranding trailer. I'm getting a real 'A Colder War' vibe from the setting. Like, don't gently caress around with ancient entities to create advanced sciences.

Blow was the worst because he didn't like that people "enjoyed" Braid. They "didn't get it"

also I finished Earthlock, aka I got to the final boss and couldn't defeat it

I seriously doubt anyone is ever banned from GDQ, their run is just not accepted over other better ones and they then go to whine about it online. I dont even think the jon benet ramsey shirt wearing dude got banned

The speedrunning community is cool but all of the drama is the most childish made up trash

I think the guy who spent the duration of his hour long crash bandicoot run joking about suicide was asked to leave because of that. But who cares about GDQ these days, it's too corporate

That guy will probably eventually be allowed to come back just to attend but probably not to run. I doubt he would want to anyway, after the fallout

Now is that GDQ saying that, or is that Bonesaw seeing that his run did not get in and making a bad assumption

Bonesaw's run was funny last year but I don't think they can either top it or repeat it. the novelty of that disasterpiece would quickly turn on its heel. maybe in a year he can bring his A game and still be funny

It sure is! But I guess it's the difference between the game being the game, and the runner being the "face" of GDQ while they're in the hot seat. The game doesn't represent GDQ at any point, but while I'm the person playing it, I do.

The fun thing about enjoying Blow's games is knowing that if he knew, he'd be pissed about it. Sorry guy, you made some cool fun games and I'm going to enjoy them just to spite you.

Fish is a dick but the soundtrack for Fez is in my top 3. He did a really good job incorporating it into the game too.

Some people have been hitting up my DMs asking me what I'm submitting for AGDQ. Though I don't mind the occasional mail concerning what my speedrun plans are for future GDQ events, I feel you all have a right to know that due to some of the things that happened/were said/done at SGDQ 2016, I have been barred from submitting games to both AGDQ and SGDQ 2017 (submissions on my part will be allowed again in 2018).
Though this was a decision made by GDQ staff, I don't blame anybody at GDQ for my performance or for the decision at hand and neither should anyone else (anyone looking to brandish their pitchforks and torches should not do so). I'm not going to comment further on the subject. I fully respect the decision. Though I cannot submit games to the events, I can still attend the event/do commentary/and all that jazz. Though I cannot play, I haven't written off attending future GDQ events, so maybe I'll go to another in the future. Just felt like those who were concerned have a right to know. Sorry about the unfortunate situation. Thanks for understanding! ^^

This is what he said about it. Make what you will of it. Maybe your assumption is right, but I have no reason to believe he's lying.

I guess the run got too rowdy. I think it was at like 2 AM. He and the couch kept making jokes about actors after being told not to, a couple times during the run he muttered swears. It was a fun run, and the audience messing with him by clapping was great. The stuff I quoted above was a pastebin he linked on his Twitter (because it was too long). Oh, he also told people to tweet at Air Canada, probably without realizing just how many people watching were stupid enough to spam them.

e: Actually it was at 11PM.

lol are you loving kidding me, that jak and daxter run is one of the best agdq runs of all time and they banned him from running for that? Christ uyama, the gently caress is wrong with you. Slap him on the wrist and tell him not to tell people to tweet at x, and be done with it.
