Jilted Bob's Game creator fights back by littering
If you somehow managed to watch the video we've posted after the jump without reading this wall of text, you may be befuddled as to why we've posted a video of The Cure frontman Robert Smith gleefully vandalizing the Nintendo World store in NYC. Little do you know that the combat-booted troublemaker featured in the video is none other than Bob Pelloni, the jilted sole creator of Bob's Game, whom Nintendo is still refusing to sell a software development kit to. Gee, we can't imagine why.
Pelloni's assault on Nintendo World took place on "Stage 50" of his 100-day sit-in protest (the rules of which can apparently be bent to allow for a brief littering excursion). He and his accomplices plastered the store's walls in Bob's Game posters, covered the floor with business cards, and filled store shelves with mock-up game cases. Given this latest desperate attention grab, and the fact that his once-humble development blog currently shows Pelloni consorting with aliens, we're guessing he's exchanged his game development ambitions for fleeting e-lebrity status. What a shame.

Pity you can't edit, because "Deep Space Nein" is funnier.

Is Bob the guy from Grandma's Boy? [robot voice] I hate your face.
My name is JP. I am a robot. I have a robot vagina.

Seriously, still, fuck this guy.

No, that's too good for him.

He's never going to get that dev kit now...

DSfanboy-4-LIFE @ Feb 1st 2009 12:13PM
this guy is a joke. I'll happily pirate his game though, just to piss him off.
XGM @ Feb 1st 2009 2:24PM
The fact he has it running leads me to believe he has pirated the Nitro SDK he needs to make it legit. I dont know how it works on the DS but if I were to make my first game id publish on the iPhone or XBLA or something...
DBuck_Eye @ Feb 1st 2009 3:51PM
Anyone who dresses like that and has that haircut is a joke.
Kogita @ Feb 2nd 2009 2:07PM
He hasn't pirated the Nitro SDK, he's running the game from a flash card. The Nitro SDK is the tools to 'embed' the game onto a read only memory DS cartridge.
Bowser Rogozhin @ Feb 1st 2009 12:12PM
No point in sneering, he's already got your attention and you've just multiplied it tenfold. Lamenting that it's a shame while simultaneously broadcasting from the Brightwood Tower is an incredibly tenuous position to hold. Rather weak.
Bowser Rogozhin @ Feb 1st 2009 12:14PM
Also, he looks nothing like I suspected.
Jerk Face @ Feb 1st 2009 1:10PM
Your avatar is really bad ass, what is that from?
NoughtSoClever @ Feb 1st 2009 2:13PM
He has our attention. He also has more of our disdain than our support. I'm not surprised that Nintendo doesn't want his game on the DS. It doesn't make any use what so ever of the bottom screen.
Duke @ Feb 2nd 2009 10:49AM
Don't you all think its time for this guy to be ignored by gaming sites? The guy is drowning in self-importance and posting stories on him and his stupid actions just continues to blow his ego up larger and larger. Just let the guy and his played out goth wardrobe vanish into total obscurity again.
Triple07 @ Feb 1st 2009 12:13PM
I get the feeling this is going to end badly...very badly...
Ridgecity @ Feb 1st 2009 3:05PM
yes, he MIGHT release it on Xbox live... it has gotten positive reviews mostly nintendo hater reviewers like EGM.
Wubbytoes @ Feb 1st 2009 8:29PM
What are you talking about? This game hasn't been reviewed by anyone.
InFaMoUs1- @ Feb 1st 2009 12:13PM
I hope Nintendo presses charges on him now because he just crossed the line by vandalizing their store and property which is pathetic and sad.
Kizzle @ Feb 1st 2009 10:02PM
And I hope they don't, because anyone that messes with boring-ass Nintendo is a stand-up citizen.
Anthony @ Feb 6th 2009 9:19AM
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure those police sirens he ran away from were fire and/or ambulance sirens.
From my limited experience in NYC and their presence on every street corner I doubt they would arrive by car anyways.
SoulBlade @ Feb 1st 2009 12:13PM
I hope Nintendo makes him clean all that shit up.
Markez (Rubberband Banjo till Death) @ Feb 1st 2009 12:27PM
I hope Nintendo makes him lick dog poop, just like they did to Ron Burgundy.
General Bison @ Feb 1st 2009 12:38PM
I hope they make him lick WHITE dog poop.
NoughtSoClever @ Feb 1st 2009 2:15PM
White dog or white poop?
Rein @ Feb 1st 2009 12:13PM
Am I the only one who that the tall man in the hat was Yahtzee for a second? Also, how did he get his friends to go along with his delusional mission of self-righteousness and vandalism? Were they even his friends (besides the cameraman)? It felt like those girls didn't even know what was going on...
Neowyrm @ Feb 1st 2009 12:19PM
I did too, actually. I bet Yahtzee would sympathize with this guy.
Markez (Rubberband Banjo till Death) @ Feb 1st 2009 12:24PM
His friends? That's odd that all his friends would coincidentally be a posse of Asian women.
Ian Murray @ Feb 1st 2009 1:53PM
Speaking of Asian women...why do they always feel the need to flash a peace sign when a camera is pointed at them?
NoughtSoClever @ Feb 1st 2009 2:17PM
Hah! Yahtzee would have ripped him a new one.
PSIJunkie @ Feb 1st 2009 5:52PM
All while unleashing endless criticism about his game. That I'd like to see.
