This guy is the man. I wish I had taken him up on the offer. I honestly didn't think he would do it. Wow. What a cool guy. He has helped renew my faith in peop... oh wait, someone already destroyed that faith. Man, douches work fast. lol. #gearbox
This guy has been added to my "High-up people in the Games industry who aren't total douches " list. That makes three now. The others being Tim Schafer and Shigeru Miyamoto.
I could have gotten in on his offer but I decided against it as I just felt bad for the guy (as it blew up beyond what he expected). However, it is beyond awesome that he actually did stick to his words....very Bushido of him.
I played with Mikey on Day 2 for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. He gave me some loot and shot some guys for me. He was so tired though. At one point he stopped talking and his character just stood there for like 5 minutes. Said he'd zoned out completely. I told him to go take a nap or something and thanked him for the loot.
It was pretty awesome that he kept his promise, and he was pretty good about answering questions like "no seriously, how many guns are actually in this game?"
I know it's spelt different but I can't help but imagine the old chubby Wayne Knight running around Pandora and then laughing maniacally as he runs off.
You can also get a trophy if you play on your PS3. Just thought I'd mention that since Kotaku has a bad habit of pretending that trophies don't exist. #gearbox
@JoRo1986: It just starts to bug me after a while when every post that mentions achievements or the like in any way implies that trophies don't exist. #gearbox
@Lord Shplane: well, achievements came first and got popularized in the mindset of the culture. I think it's more a blanket term now, like Kleenex with facial tissues and Q-tip with cotton swabs. #gearbox
@Lord Shplane: Pointless tears over nothing. Anyone who reads this blog knows that trophies were made mandatory ages ago. Rage over something else. #gearbox
@chadbeckwith: I agree... my kids commonly use "achievements" instead of "trophies" when talking about PS3 games... I've stopped correcting them. #gearbox
yes, i am loving the ever living crap out of this game. I already want a sequel. I already started the game with all 4 characters and have a lvl 18 soldier, lvl 14 hunter, 9 berserker and 6 siren. This is seriously the best Co-Op game i'v played in recent memory. It's fantastic. #gearbox
I have to say that to say something off hand and then to follow through with it is outstanding.
I am very impressed with Neumann and what he delivered to gamers. I have to say that I didn't really intend to pick this game up (I have a huge backlog of video games xbox and ps3), but with the efforts he is putting into making us the consumers happy it just kind of makes me speechless. #gearbox

We played for about 20-25 mins before he had to run along to get everyone else on the list.
I thanked him and told him I quite enjoyed the game. Was real nice of him for doing this. #gearbox
