Bobs Game

     So I stumbled upon this website, www.bobsgame.com.  And its a really neat story.  This guy Bob, made a DS RPG game from scratch, all by himself.  The game took him 5 years to make.  WOW.  That is dedication.  It is apparently the first homemade game of its size and kind.   Anyway, in order to have his game made he has to become a licensed developer in order to have a licensed game.  He contacted Nintendo about purchasing a DVD with the software that he need to complete his game.  The application he sent in told him that he would know if he could get it or not within 6-8 weeks.  They haven’t let him know yet, and its been 17 weeks.  You can read more about it on his website.  So he’s decided to do a peaceful protest against Nintendo.  He is locking himself  in a room with nothing but the games he’s programing, his cellphone and the necessities for living.  He can access his email through his phone so he knows when NOA contacts him.  He claims he do this for a 100 days, or more if thats what it takes.  On his website it shows a live feed of him just working mostly.  Currently he is on Day 12.  I really hope that I get to play his game, there is some footage of it on youtube.  Here is to hoping that it all works out for him.
