One of the best things about taking part in The Next Game Boss is reading all of the amazing comments on YouTube. Supportive, derogatory, hilarious, confusing – you get it all. We felt we’d take a few minutes and respond to some of the better comments.

THE BAD

“yea it is boring, it’s just an 8-bit game somebody could shit those sprites out in less than 10 minutes”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: We need to speed up our craft. Ten minutes?! You’re telling me we could have been done with each challenge in 10 minutes and could have spent the rest of the time doing our nails or combing our hair? Dang!

“Just because it has that old US thingy going on corrupts the whole contest.”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: We are very proud that we corrupted the whole contest. It’s the least we could do – take down IGN from the inside!

“man… washington’s wig is like a beginner developer game, why they love that game so much??? try to be serious and leave patriotism because we all know the game sucks and it isn’t even worthy”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: I tried being serious once during a third grade play about Paddington Bear. It was a disaster.

“dog jumper sucks even worse.. zzz”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: We actually put this guy to sleep. Like in Dragon Warrior or something. But… Dog Jumper is a pretty good title.

“Who else is not going to play a game where you make a dog jump at the correct moment?”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: Don’t ask me. I spent years playing games where I make a plumber in overalls jump at the correct moment.

THE GOOD

“Fist puncher! If they don’t win they’ll punch your grandma in the face!”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: Again, we don’t punch grandmas. We make games about them falling through the sky with a parasol.

“FIST PUNCHER IS GOING TO WIN! (jedi mind trick :P)”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: And we didn’t shoot first in the Lucas edited version of The Next Game Boss.

“why does naomi keep flipping her hair btw FIST PUNCHER FOREVER”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: I didn’t notice the hair, but I’m ok with being an afterthought when it comes to Naomi.

“Yes! Fist puncher stayed always trust a man with a beard”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: Can someone pass that on to the ladies? I’m a trustworthy guy.

“I wanted Fist Puncher to win from the start! I was so worried for them…”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: We were worried too. Something about this comment felt so sincere. It got me all tingly inside.

“i think the fist puncher should win because theyr game had an sense”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: That’s right. We have lots of an senses!

“Fist puncher! rulesss!”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: Cobra Commander? Is that you?

“team fistpuncher all the way!!! I will never watch this show again if they lose”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: I predict rioting in the streets from the Fist Puncher fans regardless of who wins. Make sure to bring a cowboy hat.

“FISTU PAWNCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: Say what now?

“Fist Puncher are Mario and Luigi”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: I always thought Starsky and Hutch, but I see your point.

“I want team Fist Puncher to win. I want to play Washington’s Wig soooooo badly!”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: Either way, just come down to Santa Cruz and we can all make rootbeer floats and play Washington’s Wig until the sun goes down.

THE ODD

“I don’t care who wins, I just wanna watch Naomi flipping her hair.”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: An honest opinion.

“Why the fuck do they love that dog game so much? It looks stupid and boring. But I like the guys in Team Fist Puncher.”
TEAM FIST PUNCHER: Ah, the whole love/hate thing. In all honesty I’d rather have it this way than have you think we’re stupid and boring, but like our games.
