Pretty cool!

But mark cerny isn't a celebrity haha. He's probably fringe enough to not be overwhelmed with people wanting to say hi.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Today at 03:19 PMYeah, I'm not sure if I would ever go to a celebrity.  What if it just looks like them, and then, the dude who's not the actor, just fully rolls with it, and then you're talking to a guy, who's not the guy, pretending to be the guy, and you thought you met the guy, but you didn't.
for me its mostly human empathy.

i would never want to be a celebrity because that idea that leaving the house in any capacity means being followed by paparazzi and hounded by "fans" demanding you chat with them a minute and take a selfie.  i get interaction with fans is part of the job but everyone needs a break from work sometimes.  if the only place a celebrity can have some rest is in their home i think i'd feel imprisoned.

so like, unless i see a celebrity in some context where interaction feels appropriate (for mark cerny that would be like seeing him at TGS) then i just feel like i'd be an bumb to demanding a selfie.

Fine this isn't game of the year material, but it still can be fun to a lot of people. Just hating on it hurts it's the game and the dev.

There are so many 6/10 and 7/10 games that get into this vicious cycle of hate, that I would have loved to see sequels of. But we don't get them because of how much people hate on them for stupid reasons rather than just enjoy them for what they are
From what i've played this is FAR from a 6/10 game(like some reviews). It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it's a solid 8 to 8.5 in my eyes so far.

Quote from: BananaKing on Today at 02:32 PMDid you go and speak to him?
no.

it's an out door venue which means everyone stands and there are no seats.   my group was hanging out near the back.   there was a break after sleater-kinney and "mark" walked from the front-ish of the venue directly at me passing within inches of my on his way to the bathroom/food.

so like i got a really close look but also i'm not one to pester a celebrity so i didn't stop him or anything.

it probably wasn't him but dang nabbit it was him.   my one friend's response was "it's a liz phair concert.   every 10th guy looks like mark cerny and so does every 38th girl..."   his point was not entirely wrong,.. mark's look was a good fit for the audience:
