This is the first time I've seen the clip. That poor guy's face while everyone else is laughing. Wow.
Let's just say that regardless of how we got there, I'm glad Fish doesn't have a platform anymore (pun intended). Whether it's Kaufman or Poe's, from now on I'll make a bigger effort to not contribute to the egos of any narcissistic nerds, as I am incapable of separating the craftsman from the craft (a.k.a Chinatown).
Yeah, I'm also happy I never put money in Fish's pockets. The broiling anger simmering around GDC after he said that was substantial, but today is the first time I'd actually seen how he said it, and now I'm even happier that I never gave Fish any money. There is absolutely no consideration for the degree of effort that Japanese freelance programmer manifested: flying to the USA, participating in an English-language professionals' convention, and getting up and asking a question in English.
Wasn't there also a huge stink where Fish whined about some other major indie game not being indie because it was on XBLA, and then his own game won the indie aware and was also on XBLA? Was that Super Meat Boy?
Blow is psycho, fish is bipolar, that capy dude went nutzo
Indie devs are crazy
Sho, what is your social dysfunction?
He likes to triangle-choke people.
