That was a lot of gum-flapping for something no one will care about.

The whole point of "Gaming Discussion" is discussion. And I doubt he used a speech-to-text program, so there was most likely no "gum-flapping" involved.

[Korly]

That last couple sentences "we still dont know exactly how much fez sold almost a month later. you get stats in 24 hours?" makes him a douche. I'm sorry. I know you like him - but he's a douche.

It's been reported that Microsoft gave the Minecraft team a number of special concessions to get the game on XBLA, and it sounds like the Fez guy was surprised that one of those concessions was that the Minecraft team gets to see their sales numbers so early, when that hasn't been the case for anyone else. It also sounds like he was asking a question, not making a statement. I'm not sure how that makes him a "douche".

[Josh]

Because his game is stupid. That's how.

[Chux]

Also, past actions made him a douche.

I can't believe there's nothing on there that I want.

[jyoung]

I need to try the trial for Iron Brigade. Isn't it a Double Fine game?

I hear Orcs Must Die was cool, but I don't think it has any multiplayer.

I hear Orcs Must Die was cool, but I don't think it has any multiplayer.

Sadly there isn't... I still highly recommend it... as for that list, I totally want a ton of that shit since I really wanted those XBLA Kinect games, but didn't want to pay full price. At those prices they are definitely worth it.

[Korly]

I got the Gunstringer DLC.

[Korly]

I know I'm late on this, but I finally got around to beating Bastion just now. The music in that game is outstanding.
