  • awesome thats the true point hagridandfang. I think this video is true because you cant find electroplankton and Korg DS 10 in retail stores and those are really innovative games noooo u only find it on online shops.

  • ... This whole damn thing is a game... there is no DS title, it's a different kind of game. A mind game, a social experiment if you will. Why didn't I see it from the begining?

  • This is some Ayn Rand shit here

  • has anyone tried to click bob's channel?! i cant access it O_O how did he do that?!

  • wait it seems to be gone/fixed.. o.O

  • There is a little detail, the Evil Sorcerer is not "Miyamoto"

    IT'S ME, VORTEX.

    Yuu will play Vortex Games

    ;)

  • This is the video in which it is explained that it's a viral ad, and people are flaming it thinking that it's all true. Nice job. Next time, watch the whole video.

  • Is it a game by Nintendo? Did they make the game as a big group of programers and everything was planned and not done by only 1 guy...?

  • The whole "bob is insane" thing was a viral ad for Bob, not Nintendo. Sorry if I caused a misunderstanding.

  • .........wow.... even games from big companies got canned sometimes.... u just have to keep trying and don't give up, that's the passion of a programmer..... one failure and you blame the whole world?!..... I think you are no more than the biggest joke in the gaming industry...

  • WOOT! Awesome.

  • What's with the goddamn dramatic music? It drowns the people's voices out, and on top of that, it's just plain... I don't know the word for it, but I think it's along the lines of "cheesy".

  • It's like a courtroom drama, except with one character.

    "I'm innocent! I only wanted to be remembered as a great game designer!" "But Nintendo wouldn't let that happen! They wanted a monopoly on the market!" "Ha! You fell right into my trap! There never was a 'bob's game'! You were my game! But seriously, Nintendo is evil." "You really thought I was playing a trick on you? 'bob's game' is just that. Just a game. Nintendo isn't evil."

    I think someone left the asylum door open.

  • Nintendo is run by evil pricks. Not to the ridiculous degree that he plays them out to be, but I believe that Nintendo stopped giving a shit about the fans and just got lazy. You kind of lost me, though, about 3/4 through this video. Are you still referring to "bob's game" as the game you're playing with us, or are you going to actually follow through with this bullshit? I'm sill deciding whether you're trying to make a point, you're lying to us, or you're just completely fucking nuts.

  • Okay, I just gotta come out and say it.

    I thought this guy's antics were some sort of unwarranted self importance mixed with a little unrealistic expectations, but after watching this "video", I now see.

    He has a case of borderline dementia, with a tiny dose of paranoia and bad taste, and he also is a sore loser and can't handle bad news, or reality for that matter.

    Get your head out of you ass, "bob". Nintendo has better stuff to do than deal with your half assed attempts at counter culture.

  • well, at least he's not a guy who diagnoses other peoples' psychological problems over the internet

  • Well, at least I'm not a guy JUDGING people who diagnose other people's problems over the internet.

    Please state a valid point.

  • nah... i would rather be brain-washed by nintendo then playing this game..

  • Oh my god, this is awesome. The whole story about Nintendo is great !

    P.S.: I dare you NOT to lose the game while watching this.

  • "The greatest game ever made"?

  • Inside the universe of "Bob's Game" it is. ;]

  • he has a bad case of "unwarranted self importance" which means he thinks he is the shit and is better than any other human being

  • I know what USI is.

    Yeah, but actually, it's kind of a big in-joke.  The game is real, though.

  • I want this to be a viral advertisement for Doritos.

  • Bob's Game... is a game about a game... called Bob's Game... where the bottom screen is Bob's Game... A DS lite... on a DS lite... made by Nintendo... about Nin-FUCK. What the fuck man?

  • Who here thinks he just changed the "story" after everyone called him out on the total BS selling point of "5 years by one person"?

    "Bob" really shot his game in the foot here by turning its development and publication into an internet debacle.

  • Are you joking? This guy'll probably put this out on the XBLA/steam/etc.

    It has the craziest viral marketing scheme ever.

  • Based on what we talked about back in August of last year, it's pretty much remained the same, save on one inconsequential detail that, inconsequential as it is, I'm staying mum on.

    Read the interviews. I think they're linked in the RSS.

  • lol reggie is evil

  • Next thing we know you post a video saying you didnt make the game yourself, and that it was nintendo, by a team of developers... sigh

  • Yeah lol he is wasting everyone's time with stupid nonsense. Way over it.

  • this is old, and you arent getting the viral ad that well are you

  • You aren't serious? I followed his stupid protest, for what? A demo? I get the ad, it is stupid. Look at how low the hits are which he recieves on his videos (people stopped caring a long time ago because of the nonsense). Not one person I know takes this idiot seriously, not one person in the industry would either after his stupid stunt. GDC/100 day protest has gone and past and its in the middle of E3 and yet not one update regarding his game. I just stated that I grow tired of it.

  • I still take him pretty seriously, he's a cool guy that made an interesting game.

  • theres a few supporters(me), the game comes out 9/9/09 FYI so theres no need to fuss

  • You DO realise that what they say is generally tip-toeing around saying "YOUR GAME SUCKS!" Nintendo can't say that because it's bad for their image to talk like that and actualy say the truth.

    If you really fervently believe your game is good upload it to the internet! (and since you seem to be obsessed with "selling"...) you could look up methods of selling a video game online. If the game sells and does well with good responce... yippee! however if it doesn't... well I'm betting it won't

  • Of course video games are a business. A competitive one at that.

    Bob, seriously, this is the real world.

    Corporations aren't supposed to be warm and snuggly over your hurt feelings.

    Releasing a re-branded campaign outlining a supposed farcical overzealous developer in circa 1996 goth wear just comes off as pale and, frankly, a little pathetic.

  • What if said overzealous developer isn't the protagonist? Just a thought.

  • I have to agree, we've been lucky to have a visionary, Shigeru Miyamoto, in the company producing fantastic titles. But it's still just a business, this is how the world works :\.

  • Oh, and for the record, I realised this whole charade was your 'game' a while back. Even if your game turns out good, you're still insane :P.

  • Man, I'm such a doof XD. Just watched all the stuff and realised you don't really believe all that stuff, and it's just part of the game you're acting out. Pretty clever stuff, though I can't say I've enjoyed being taken for a ride like that aha. Anyway, is this game actually gonna get released to the internet or is this whole charade gonna carry on forever?

  • THIS ISNT HOW HE REALLY IS ITS A VIRAL AD!, he has tried getting the SDk but he isnt like vengeful thats how "bob" is not bob. "bob" is the bob inside bobs game hes the freak thats trying to do WHATEVER it tajkes to get nintendo to notice him

  • I'm still holding out.

  • Ugh. Utter dissappointment!!

  • If you are going to have a life's mission, why make your crusade about video games, of all things?

  • are you sure its not real

  • Hey guys, the demo's out. It really is a gem of a game. Tetrid is a hard game...

  • Look dude you just keep on confusing me more! Please just release your game or at least be clear about what is going on!

  • Your game didn't get released. Why don't you know what "no" means? Just release it as freeware and get over it.

  • The intentions in this game are for a greater purpose. thank you, hope you guys see this, Lum. bob cant wait for the next project.

  • why do all you people go against- rip-apart someone who dedicated their life to share his talents,ideas,to the world for the good, his intentions and motives are for us the people, we all should take a deeper look at what this game's content is trying to tell us and the rest of the world. Go in to it with an open mind w/o emotions,you will come to a different understanding about the purpose of this game,which my friend bob made for the world to experience, and use.

  • So... You trolled everyone that wasn't religiously following this insanity. Now you reveal it was all a hoax. I get it. Your 100-day campaign is a sham...

    But what about all the crap BEFORE that? Did you really get refused by Nintendo for an SDK kit? Did you even talk to them at all?

    I understand that you're not a lunatic now. I understand this was all a ruse. But what I want to know is why. What was this 3-month facade meant to accomplish?

  • Bob is an elaborate troll and an attention whore.

    If he wants he really wants to make his game a reality, he should start networking with developers, not whining and littering a store.

    He needs to seriously get over himself.

  • I think some people didn't watch this past about the halfway mark.

  • i know its a shame so many haters who have no clue what they are talking about

  • the game is awesome bob

    loved the interview of the wiids

    keep it on!

    you will make it

  • so umm.... is bob's game real or not?

  • someone needs to seek professional help. Look, you've got a great resume. Join a company and work your way up the corporate ladder. That's how Miyamoto got started

  • What the hell is going on.

  • Good god you are delusional. Your game simply didnt meet quality standards, not surprising either considering that your spritework is about as bland and uninspired as the shovelware you rail against.

  • what?

  • theres probably better stuff made with rpgmaker; im not saying it sucks, havent played it, but seriously, give me a break

  • Oh God What the fuck am I watching.

  • There's gotta be some Youtubepoop of this somewhere. This is a goldmine.

  • ;) there is i think look up stage 100

  • Man, this is hilarious

  • this isn't a game its an ebook

  • Its a good game aalright

  • Go to bed bob

  • Sir, shut the fuck up.

    Yes you made a game, start to finish.

    Awesome, have a medal.

  • The game isn't even good. For christ's sake it's just a generic fetch quest RPG. We've had PLENTY of these. Bob is so pretentious he doesn't even realize it. It's sad.

  • ah so bobs game isnt that good?

    i was hoping is rediculous obsessiveness would atleast make him a good and dedicated game maker who could make something spectacular. i agree that hes a total loser, but i was just hoping he was a loser good at making video games lol.

  • hmmm... and how do you know this? From what I understand... its not.

  • How do I know it? I fucking played it.

  • The Single Demo?

    I played that too. That doesn't say how the entire game is going to be. That's like saying all of Super Mario Bros. is going to be as easy as World 1-1

  • Yeah, but World 1-1 was iconic and amazing. Bob's game is boring and provides nothing new right off the bat.

  • Well lots of games start slow.

    Zelda perhaps?

    It is only a demo after all. A tech demo at that.

    Mostly used to test flash cart compatibility and see how the engine would be recepted.

  • not bobs game. you mean the "Bobs Game" DEmo theres a full version in the makes:P

  • THIS IS AWSOME INTERNETS TO U!

  • You are so fucking stupid. It was a viral marketing scheme to create hype.

  • Time for a new meme:

    ☻/

    /▌

    / \

    This is Bob, copy and paste him everywhere and he will take over the world

  • Sir, the company name Nintendo shouldn't exist in your viral conspiracy ad. It's Gantendo! Not Nintendo!

    Unless it's an intended satire. ^^

  • tis a very poor game sir

  • THIS WAS AMAZING!

    I loved following the story nad how its all connected to the game. I love these things!

  • I... My brain... It hurts...

    This had been planned all along?

    Bob, you truly are a genius.

  • Yes he is! :D

  • Wow, some ones pretty butthurt about not getting an SDK. Grow up dude.

  • To me it sounds like Robert was so upset his game got rejected by Nintendo, and he was so embarrassed by his suicidal/drama queen actions, that he changed the story of his game to make it look like it was about some Indie developer named Bob, that coincidentally shared the same arrogance as Robert, and wanted to make the "greatest game ever". This way Robert could pretend that his drama queen freak outs were just viral marketing and an act the whole time. Clever cover up, I must admit.

  • Except that stage 30 (where he tore up his room, pretty much just rearranged it meticulously for a photo op) and stage 50 (where he "vandalized" the NWS, he shot a lot of the footage in his kitchen, even some of the audio in the video was repeated.")

    It was bloody obvious right from the beginning "my head feels like it's splitting" posts.

  • He has proof that it was all viral advertising.

  • Wait... Did 12 publishers really come to publish your game? Than you denied them?

    LOL.

  • Publishers only can offer their SDK to their in-house development teams, of which Bob is not. He still needs to be a licensed developer to have his game published for a Nintendo console. It wasn't a matter of him turning down anyone,. Do your homework before quizzing.

  • Thats what I tell people and they ignore me.

  • wow..... I want this GO MI!!!

  • You have to watch this until the last second to really understand what the whole Bob's Game thing has been about.

  • wow, now it all makes sense... I have to say, that as crazy as I thought Bob (Robert Pelloni) was, I really like his artistic style in presenting the game's story--- his crappy drama queen act I hated makess the story so much better!

  • YOKOI

  • I hope you find a producer, you deserve it.

  • He got licensed today! Check the site.

  • Umm, April fools.

  • There were a lot of testers. We were all on the forum he has linked on his site right now. gBev set it up, we found our way to it, eventually Robert did as well and set up shop, and he loaded up a demo for us to try with different hardware and emulators. Good times.

  • yo dawg, i herd you like games so i put a game in your game so you can play while you play

  • Am somewhat reminded of Andy Kaufmann.... and with that said.... 30 years later they still don't know what the hell was going on there :-D

  • I played the leaked demo, is tetrid an april fools joke?

    cant...beat..tetrid

  • 1. Go to forum linked on bob's site

    2. read sticky

    3. ???????

    4. PROFIT!

  • i asked this question before he had a link to the forum, thanks though. I wish it were a bigger demo.

  • I KNEW IT! Nintendo!

  • Played the demo.

    Anyone wants proof, they can message me and I'll send a pic proving it.

    Also we are working on some bugs and such. The public demo will go up shortly.

  • it's tomorrow again?

  • "The vid'll go up, tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be sun.."

  • it's tomorrow?

  • What IS Project 2?

    Project 2 IS the second half.

  • nope ^u^

    If you were a fan from day 1, you would get it

    HINT: look at a really old cache

  • I have been a fan from Day 1. And yes I know he wrote "Project 2 will be revealed soon" the day before he started the protest/ad. But if you have been a true fan and listened to the podcast you'd know he didn't show the second half of the game yet. Which I believe to be Project 2. I think your just assuming Project 2 to be his second game after Bob's Game. But project 2 could very well be the second half of Bob's Game.

    Yuu defeats Bob. Bob makes a new harder Bob's Game.

  • When did Yuu defeat bob?

  • At the end of the Bob's Game Teaser Trailer. The way it is worded seems to point in that direction.

    If you like to discuss Bob's Game, join the soon to be official "Bob's Game Forums" using the link below!

    bobsgame(dot)forumotion(dot)ne­t

  • Bob was defeated by Yuu at GDC 2009.

  • How? What exactly happened?

  • I'm not going to divulge this any further simcny. Just wait for the update and then we'll know the true answer. :)

  • Okay... I guess I just don't understand how Yuu beat him. We'll see. :)

  • actually...someone on a forum i'm on told me...

    PROJECT "2" is "2" things

    1. the second half

    2. "bob's game"

  • what is project 2? what happened to bobsgame?

  • I think this was a viral ad for Project 2.

  • Hey guys, theres an updated site. I didn't expect him to show Project 2!!

  • Wait, was the part about him not being able to get an SDK viral as well?

  • I'm guessing maybe a website redesign that conserves/displays the viral archive while advertising the game more clearly. Most likely with some kind of solution to his SDK issues.

  • When your game is not innovative and it looks like it could possibly be an awful game, I wouldn't put the game onto my consoles either.

  • You've posted this over 9000 times before. No one cares.

  • And yet no body has told me why this game is going to sell.

  • I think Bob might be clinically insane.

    (And this whole 'oh, this is an alternate reality game' thing is blatantly a lie to save face.)

  • A select few (see: those without rodent-like attention spans) had it called that this was a real-life enactment of the in-game story line months ago. lurk moar.

    On the other hand, it's quite possible that you yourself are terminally stupid.

  • Uh, how is he clinically insane? This isn't a blatant lie at all to save him, and that is what is obvious. Cmon, just look at everything he's done. Watch the game come out with the exact storyline, and I'll laugh at you.

  • Good luck Rob!

    We'll wait for you!

  • if that is "bob"...

    THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

  • Wait, STAGE 100 IS at GDC, look at his site! :)

  • Whoah, that hasn't been there for 4 days!

    o wate.

  • Eeryone! STAGE 95 is about aliens, Gantando is controlle by aliens! The controlled Bob says Nintendo is the greatest company of the UNIVERSE. And don't forget the alien eye at the end.

    *hopes for stage 100 being at GDC*

  • It feels like a slap to my face with his fist. I supported him, and now I am the one who looks like the idiot.

    Keep laughing at me Bob I am never buying your game.

  • baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaw.

  • Bob not being a douche bag makes you look bad? Are you a douche bag IRL?

  • ....Lol this made my day

  • FAKE, THIS GAME IS FAKE.

  • im gonna pull a jay and silent bob and find all of you internet tough guys and beat your asses.

  • Sure it is.

  • No dude it exists I asked Bob myself.

  • "(who said a stage was a day?)"

    Hmm... I think Stage 100 is gonna last through the entire GDC.

    Or at least longer than a day, I guess.

  • Like Wily's Castle, which was multiple levels in one, hah.

  • I found this hidden at the bottom of the website:

    ---"bobsgame(dot)com" is a web game by a guy named "bob" about a DS game by a guy named "bob" about a virtual game by a virtual guy named "bob" called "bob's game," which is a work of fictional satire about games where you play games in the game.---

    Web games are usually more interactive than this :{

  • Oh believe me, more people have been playing it than you can possibly imagine. See "and thanks to" list.

  • No he's changed the explanation to be longer . . . and less hidden, also it makes more sense.

    There are actually a couple of minor tweaks to the site's text now, and everything makes more sense.

  • I was thinking that too...

  • THiS iS THE FUTURE

  • THAT iS PROBABLY A HiNT OF iT BEiNG ON DSiWARE. Anyway, it's awesome that he made it this far without quitting!

  • oh god I hope not, talk about ruining the excitement.

  • Stage 100 is still loading :\

    Are we REALLY going to have to keep waiting?

  • stage 100...Where is my copy of bob's game?

  • Its Stage 100 aand you still havent realease the game how long are you gonna make everyone wait......

  • HAI /b/ob

  • /v/ - Prides themselves on being "master trolls" but fall for the real trolls hook line and sinker

  • I honestly thought it was some kind of viral marketing campaign from the start, though admittedly not quite in this manner.

  • WHAT DOES RESPECT MEAN TO YUU?

  • Well it's finally Stage 100! The red days are over! Now it's time for green!

  • I see anon had their Two Minutes of Hate last night.

  • bob lost my respect by being a /v/tard.

  • y so srs, Neku?

  • What the fuck, Bob?! What... the... fuck...

  • You smoke weed?

  • JUST weed?

    You need something stronger.

  • You know, if you make a game that criticizes Nintendo, you probably need to release it as a downloadable PC game, because no publisher will touch it.

  • I'm reasonably sure the big announcements will be AFTER stage 100, so we might have to wait until Monday

  • why does he say its not real at the end... after ALL THAT was that evil bob trying to trick us

  • You make a good point, he is still wearing his evil boots in the end clip.

  • SO.....what now?!

    Its 100 day already, where is my "bob's game"?

  • lol timezones

  • Bob's game is shit.

  • I think watching this video just gave me AIDS.

    Thanks, Bob!

  • @webwaft

    I had no idea you were that intimate with your computer screen.

  • uh...

  • Man. Don't make videos that don't make any sense whatsoever. And if this is viral marketing, I will personally DoS you.

  • If this really was just a huge viral advertisement, you're a damn genius.

  • Dang, I'm really confused.

    So we are in the real Bob's Game, which is a way to advertise Bob's Game which is a game about the fake Bob's Game but it could all be a trick by Bob!?

    ...

    lulz

  • 1 day?

    Hmmm... I sure wonder what we will get tomorrow...

  • hey bob, GDC is on the 23rd.
