I asked Porter a couple months ago if ESE was ever going to reform, he said he didn't thing so, now they live together.
Hey look man, my name's "I-smel". What I lack in smarts, I at least pay back in honesty. Boink!

ur handsome!
thanks luis!!
Bumping into you was the biggest shock at PAX, since I didn't expect you to ever turn up in the US. And there does seem to be some sort of inner circle of successful indie devs but then I wonder if every one of them thinks the same thing and that they aren't a part of it... The whole stranger complex or whatever the psychological term is, I'm trying to google it now and finding nothing. And yeah, business stuff... Sometimes I think no business will ever begin on NG until the adult rated content ends, but I've never come to a decision with that... Or my decision has been to not do anything about that.
Yeah if you're just submitting stuff to newgrounds as a first-time animator then it feels like everyone on the front page is one circle of friends, and similarly if you're posting games on TigSource then it feels like all the developers you've heard of meet up every Sunday and laugh at you.
In some cases they ARE friends, in that you go to enough events and do enough interviews with the same people that of course you'll know each other. It's easy to become bitter about it, but hopefully I can get the word out that it's not make-or-break to be in that. I've never said anything to people like that beyond "hey man nice game" and I'm doin fine.
It's more fucking useful to have a contact at RockPaperShotgun or Destructoid or something. Those are the guys you wanna kiss ass to.
I was planning on getting some copies of SpeedRunners for me and my friends but I didn't know tinyBuild did it. I'm sure once I loaded it up I would've noticed your art though, did you have to greenlight it after getting No Time to Explain on?
That interview was pretty awesome too, thanks for linking it.
No, it was much easier to get on Steam the second time.

Fuck, I never mentioned: I also went to GamesCom in Germany. Since I live in Europe now, I can just drive to Germany. It's weird.
I played TitanFall, and the real finished version of the Occulus Rift. Both are fucking sick as hell, and you seriously need to check it out next time you see it, no matter how long the line might look.
