Bob from Bob's Game hires Asian girls on Craigslist, Litters Nintendo World Store.
Vitamin Awesome | 3:29 AM on 02.02.2009 10 comments




Part of me didn't want to feed the troll, but I can't get any sleep, so I decided to write about this. In this video, you see Robert Pelloni (although with the way he's dressing, you'd think he was Robert Smith) going to the Nintendo World Store to further bury his chances at being taken seriously as a game developer. If you've been keeping count (I'm only going by the video's title and date uploaded), Yesterday was day 50 of his sit-in protest, and here he is, halfway through, taking a trip to New York with some 'friends', posting fliers, dropping business cards on the floor, and just being a dick in general.

First Internet trolling, now trolling in the streets. When is this going to end? Probably when people stop talking about it. ...oh, right.

bob looks like a dick

So "Bob's Game" is not a working a title? I always assumed he was just hiding the real name of it for some reason. I hope so, because "bob's game" is a stupid title.

Oh, and what about that "a game by one person" crap? Rather than promote the game's features, he's promoting his achievement. Ugh.

What used to be an admirable feat is now an internet joke. Nice work douchebag.

He looks so goth. I like his boots.

I'm going to call it right now: Nintendo is in on this marketing campaign.

I gotta wonder though... the game looks like it should be on the GBA or something. One screen and no touchscreen support? :S

I think his friend is even more of a tit than Bob is.

His hair is all wacky

Goddammit now I'm reading crap about Bob on this site too! T_T

He went somewhere that's beyond the deep end. I didn't know it was possible. NERDRAGEing his room, attempting to sell his game to Chinese flashcart makers, the whole 100-day protest...come on.

I say this a lot, but while he should be rewarded for his work, he's undermining his entire future here by being a massive egotistical prick. That and what I've seen of the game is...meh at best.

Ronburgandy2010 got it right.

I think I'm now convinced that "Bobs Game" is actually a secret plan to take down all the major foreign corporate conglomerates in the US.

His game actually contains a virus that will corrupt the whole network of nintendo DS's, and any wiis that the DS may have linked to, also corrupting all the Wii's afterwards.

He hasn't exactly thought about where to go after he's finished with Nintendo though.

I'd laugh if my speculation was even close to being true.

This is either one hell of a viral marketing campaign, or one hell of a descent into madness.

Either way, it should be fun to watch.
