That site is a mess! That's worse than a crappy blog, so either...
a) The guy is completely insane.
b) He's got a publisher and is keeping it top secret with a bizarre webpage.
c) Both A&C.

Lord, the reason I was impressed with his stint is because all of you fell for it. He succeeded. He's not actually insane or anything. He's doing this for a reason. He's building up suspense. I can feel it....

Man frog's right here. Man frogs the only one right here. What the hell guys?
He got near 1,000,000 unique visitors to his site. He succeeded at marketing the game as well.

He may be getting visitors, but any website can if they try hard enough. It doesn't mean anyone's going to buy his product.
Marketing is about defining your product and yourself as a responsible and intelligent...marketer...
I realize he's not really like that, Man-Frog. I'm not retarded. But you can't really believe that he was doing this from the beginning? When he started his psycho blog he was all "Hey everyone, let's see if we can get Nintendo to sign on for this game" and everyone was like "Sure, looks good to me". Then comes the "Nintendo isn't listening, let's try harder people!" So the people replied "Well, maybe Nintendo just doesn't want to distribute this game."
After that, he starts talking about Reggie being a huge asshole, and it isn't until he talks about not showering and all that stuff when the people are like "Fuck this asshole."
Now, being a sensible man who really wants to sell his game, he decides to transition into a marketing scheme.
"Hey everyone I love Reggie! No wait...the aliens are telling me not to...AHH!!! Help me!!!"
So, yeah. Fuck him.

See, that's what proves you feel for the masquerade. He probably never had a grudge against Nintendo to begin with. That part was still acting.

I actually kinda agree with TV a little. I mean this marketing scheme wasn't his intention from the start sort of thing.

How can you tell? For all intents and purposes he did plan in out that way, and things are only going to get weirder from here on.

I'm still trying to imagine how much weirder it can get from a locked room and then being abducted by aliens while still in that room . . . Yeah he's going to have to do something pretty over the top to beat that. Also Stage 50 happens tommorow, hopefully something good happens.

Nobody cares about his game anymore anyway. People only visit his site to see what the hell he's doing to his room this time.

I actually wanna see what the game contains, so I still care somewhat.

Okay, I think stage 50 is happening or about to happen but all I see when I go to the site is just spinning selection of green dots in a circle. Anyone else seeing the same thing? Nothing appears to be loading or anything like that.

He must've jumped on the teaser site bandwagon.

Holy crap.
This is stage 50.
I can't beilive he did this, I'm surprised he didn't do it on the 100th day (stage 100) but even if he is crazy, he still has friends.
(Also he looked better (and more normal) in the original trailer video).
