You are both as dumb as a brick if you didn't recognize it as a joke. They were DESIGNED to piss off idiots. Guess it worked!

up yours pal,

up. your. nose.

with. a. rubber. hose.

I didn't pay my hard earned gatdam money for a game that has some smarmy ass meta-developer besmirch my favorite vidcons with such reprehensible tripe. obviously you don't repsect your games enough to see how much time and investment they put into western titles but to think that these assholes think it's ok to make fun of my favorite games is absolutely unforgivable. how the hell would you like it if someone came in your face acting all nice and insulting your mom? right to your face? huh? I'm so sick of this stupid argument that vidcons shouldn't be seriously. I PAY FOR THEM thusly; I have an opinion of them; ergo, when you insult them or even ME for playing them, I get fucking angry. a joke is one thing, but those stupid, stupid pump things go way too far and cross the line. consider yourself warned.

I find myself nodding approvingly in Xelo directions :nods: ToG has really dropped the ball in so far as they have not followed rule number one you learn in any intro video game course, game developers are to remain objective despite all else! Video games aren't a medium for politics of gaming but an actual form of gaming where the player is trying to be Immersed in an experience. The Save points, regardless on which side I'd take on say a forum debate about western and eastern video game thought, were disruptive to the gamers focus. It tore me from the elements that had been so well conceived and constructed, for some moments forgetting that basketball was actually still around!, that all of this atmosphere was lost and instead reminded me that this was a cheap indie game made by a group of preteen nerds. I'd love to debate this further but let's not derail this topic any more but instead take it to PM :warm smiles all around:

You guys are the 294th ranked PC game out of over 9,000 on the site right now. That's pretty sweet. If you guys have a high-quality version of the trailer available I can see if we can upload as the official video for the game. Drop me an email at [email protected] if you do and we can figure out how to transfer it.

I submitted it a few times and I'm glad they noticed!

Hey guys!  I just wanted to congratulate you on making one of the most awesome games ever.  As you've already noticed, we do have a gamespace for Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden on GameSpot, and as long you guys continue to support it we'll be happy to keep it updated with the latest versions and patches.  All you have to do is send us a link to the latest updates (we can't accept files directly by email) at [email protected] and we'll get it mirrored and added to the gamespace.

As far as supporting the indie community goes, GameSpot has over the last year done a lot to increase the number of independently developed games that we host, but as already discussed, it's often hard to pick out the real gems and get them on the site. Though I'm no longer in charge of files on the site, I still keep an eye out for quality games like this one and make sure that it gets passed on to the people that are.  When the time comes to compile my list of the top indie games of 2008, you can be sure that Shut Up and Jam will be making it.

I haven't had the chance to finish it yet, but here's hoping that this is indeed part one of an ongoing production.  Congrats on the release again guys, and thanks for keeping the indie spirit alive!

What.

Chef, and all the others, I wish you good luck on Chapter 2, and may it be even more awesome than the first.

If that's possible, which it probably isn't
