A 29-year-old man in Japan has been arrested for
threatening to blow up
Bomberman developer Hudson's offices. The publisher obviously had a sense of humor about being torn apart in a fiery blast, as the man had sent 11 terrorizing emails during a four-month period before the company finally decided to do something about it. The misguided gentleman allegedly made the bomb threats because he was unhappy with the quality of
Hudson's products.
Protip: When unhappy with a company's product or service, don't threaten harm to it or
yourself. Make a clear statement by using your wallet as a tool of consumer activism.

At least hire the guy as your mascot, suit him up with a giant helmet and make a giant maze on the parking lot so people can see him blow stuff up.

OK, that's kind of like threatening the Human Torch with a flamethrower. Or nuking the Hulk. Or locking MacGyver in the janitor's closet...

Speaking of Bob... I dabble in amateur Indy game makin', and my bro dabbles in pixel art... He just came up with the idea that we make Bob's Game.. Think of it, we could have a level where he fights the Yakuza, gets abducted by aliens... All in the search for the SDK...

Was there any mention as to what kind of bomb he planned to use? Did he plan to stand outside Hudson's HQ, bomb held high over his head, mashing A to pump it up?

Either Power Bomb or Rubber Bomb.

They could use the cubicles to hide in, the explosion would only travel down the aisles :)

This is the comment I was hoping for.
Godspeed to you.

I was going to reply with some bomb pun myself, but I can't top whats already been done here. Ah well, puns are the lowest form of humor anyway.

Your mom's the lowest form of humor.
Deone @ Feb 2nd 2009 1:48PM
Touche. 'Your mom' humor is the lowest form of humor. Did that even make sense?
Deeznuts420 @ Feb 2nd 2009 3:51PM
as much sense as your mom.
Deone @ Feb 2nd 2009 4:24PM
True, since shes dead, she hasn't made much sense in the last few years.

No silly. We are supposed to keep those credit card knives from 'Glimmer Man' in our wallet, and cut those bitches.
