 		Well if it is a viral it's probably the most f'd up viral I've ever seen.

In the pic it looks almost like the game "Lemmings"

I checked the source and LOL'd at this:

Code:
<script>
function workharder()
{
alert("By clicking OK or submitting a digital signature with the X button, Yuu agrees to a lifetime of minimum wage slavery for the all-powerful Button Corporation Incorporated. (Even worn-out buttons can be exchanged for evil replacements. >;} )")
}
</script>

<script>
function workharder2()
{
alert("HOW DARE YUU! WHO DO YUU THINK YUU ARE, PUSHING ME AROUND?! buttons have rights too, yuu know!")
}
</script>

<script>
function workharder3()
{
alert("I'm sorry! Even buttons wear out eventually, yuu know. :{")



Don't know why but I found it funny.

 		I think it has to be Viral now. I'm beginning to think there is a whole team behind "bob's game"

Really? Good going on the marketing of this game. It looks like crap, but a lot of people are going to play it when it comes out.

 		This guy *is* a loon.

Quote:
If Nintendo decides not to proceed, "bob's game" will be released for iPhone, Android, and possibly OpenPandora, XBLA, Steam, and PSP.


You know, I'd really like to see him do that. The way he describes the game it must have been a monumental task to wrote it. Now, writing that same game for SEVEN inherently different and incompatible platforms (DS, iPhone, Android, OpenPandora, XBLA, Windows/Steam and PSP) is a godlike feat in my book.

And I can't see how this would be marketing for that one game... It's a very extreme stretch to say "Nintendo, buy my game or I'm going to the competitor", then systematically list your competitors in vivid detail. If this is for real, that's a death sentence in the industry.

 		So out of boredom I decided to check up on this. I went to the page and clicked on tte button that told me not to click on so now I am on "The List". Don't know what it means but I figured I'd let you all know.

It's just his increasingly growing retardation through the button messages. The man, after getting the pitch finished, I think, wants to finish his 100 days to stir up some hype about the game.

 		I remember Bob posting on Something Awful a good while ago. He didn't take critique very well, and seemed fairly imbalanced then, which I suppose could happen if you've shut yourself away for extended periods of time programming.

This new stuff is really impressive, though, in a nutcase kind of way.

 		Wow. A lot's happened since this thread was last bumped. But anyway, the main site was updated with a strange border and I figured that someone here could work their magic and figure out if it has any meaning.
