I believe the tale is reaching a crescendo of sorts. His latest post:

THAT IS NOT ME!! IT'S NOT ME!!!
SOMEONE CAME INTO MY HOUSE
THEY CAME INTO MY HOUSE!!!
THEY WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING, WENT THROUGH MY PC, FILE TIMESTAMPS CHANGED, FOOTPRINTS, EVERYTHING MOVED, DOOR UNLOCKED
THEY TRIED TO OPEN THE SAFE
MY PC IS KEYLOGGED
12 HOURS OF CAMERA FOOTAGE WAS DELETED
CAMERA WAS UNPLUGGED WHEN I WOKE UP
I WAS SLEEPING!!
THEY DID IT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING!!
THIS IS NOT PART OF THE PLAN
THIS IS NOT A JOKE
THEY MADE HANAFUDA CARDS FOR 50 YEARS
THAT IS A YAKUZA GAME
THEY ARE THE JAPANESE MAFIA
THEY ARE THE JAPANESE MAFIA
THEY ARE THE JAPANESE MAFIA
THEY ARE THE JAPANESE MAFIA
THEY ARE THE JAPANESE MAFIA
THINK ABOUT IT!!
THEY WANT TO SILENCE ME
FOR A REASON!
IT'S EITHER THEM OR ALIENS
I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S NOT ALIENS
I'D RATHER IT BE ALIENS !

Bob, meet Mr. Straitjacket. Mr. Straitjacket, Bob...

If it was really the Japanese mafia, Bob would have been killed in a car "accident" by now.

Here's the latest from Bob. I wonder what EB thinks of it:

[youtube=560,345]wRrEakRSfSk[/youtube]

I wonder if he has these conversations in his head on a daily basis.

The balding guy mostly speaks the truth until he starts slipping into the delusional Bob Zone.

Bob needs to learn to market himself.

This looks like it will deliver on parody material. It doesn't seem like the actual gameplay could keep anybody playing though.

No it didn't. Nobody really gives a fuck about the game, they just care about his delusions of grandeur.

Same thing happened with Dyack. Acted like a lunatic and people assumed Too Human would sell shitloads. It tanked because nobody gives a fuck about the actual game.

Can someone please explain what that latest video revealed?

Is this is all just a viral stunt?
is there a game?
did he have a publisher all along?
You're playing as the enemy of this delusional "bob" in the game, as in GANTUNDO is good?
WTFFFF

yeah, it's totally convoluted. He also uses "Yuu" inconsistently, sometimes referring to it as a name and sometimes inferring "you", which makes a totally not clever device even more not clever.

if you rewatch this one it fits:

don't know if annotations work when embedded, but yeah, it's all a viral thing. I was fooled and I think some of the things they did are sorta clever, so congratulations to bob. Problem is that I still don't want, or really know, what it is he's trying to sell. Is it that crappy looking game?
