I mean, c'mon! I've seen photos of him wearing a brown paper bag on his head! There's nothing that's cooler than that man! It's the coolest!

He's the Supreme Commander alright. The Supreme Commander of Dorks that is. And, the paper bag thing proves it; not disprove it. heh.

Volourn sort of has a point--game devs make a career out of being dorks. However, Carsten is also a huge moron, so nuts to him and his crap games.

This brings up a good question: Is the Dork King automatically cool (By virtue of his mass of followers), or is he the dorkiest of the dorks?

Watch SpongeBob SquarePants, the episode where SB meets his idol the champion jellyfisher or something. He's a sea cucumber. Anyway, that guy had a huge following, and he was still a dorky lookin mofo, and a dick to boot.

Tim Cain is a cool dork, though, as seen from his games.

Carsten would be like the lame dorks, the ones that sit around in the lunch room playing Yu-Gi-Oh all day.

Watch it, you might be labelled as a drooling, Saint Timmy-worshipping fanboy, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

Naw, there is a difference between cool dorks and lame dorks, sir.

Cool dorks would be like someone who has all these kick ass RPGs at his house and stuff, and has a good taste in games. The lame dorks are, like I said, the dudes who sit around at school all day playing Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon and whatever.

Now Carsten is trying to emulate a cool dork, but it just makes him even more of a lame dork.

Uh.. Spaz, ALL game devs are dorks. And geeks. And losers. It's a fact of game dev life.

What does that make people like us, who hang around a message board waiting for the words of dorks, geeks and losers?

you're forgetting that the fall looks like shit. I could understand the argument 'HEY ITS FUN IM NOT COING TO CONFORM ^-^' if the game didn't look like wank in the first place.

I think that's now a known fact for everyone. Or are there any assholes to say the opposite?

The Fall looks graphically bad to me, but i don't zing the game because of it. I still play console 8 and 16-bit games, or X-Com games for that matter, and honestly, graphics are the least important thing.

I also don't know if the images shown are the actual end result, or just work in progress.
