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.

this guy is a joke. I'll happily pirate his game though, just to piss him off.

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.

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.

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.

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...

All while unleashing endless criticism about his game. That I'd like to see.
