Personally I like these guys for game info, because they don't assign numbers to anything and they don't get fat paychecks from big companies to talk about games. They aren't "journalists" they are just gamers that like playing videogames. And they really seem to love boom blox.
We were interviewed recently by Major Nelson for the game, and when he asked what we were playing, Boom Blox came up quickly. I suggest that it plays well for a tech demo, which I meant as a joke, but it is ridiculous how much entertainment there is to be had - even in two-thousand and eight - by plucking and blasting these Goddamned rectangles. It seriously looks like something that you would install with your 3dfx card to verify proper installation. Without the remote, that's probably where it would stop.
It broke us of Grand Theft Auto, for Christ's sake. What is the differential on developments costs, there - a hundred to one? And yet there we were - Gabe, Scott, and myself - staring at a heap of bricks. Robert, who can probably calculate the game's physics entirely in his head, couldn't stay away even though he likes us to think he is immune to joy. He probably wasn't aware that his mouth hung open the entire time he was playing, the working of his mind visible beneath his temples. It's the antithesis of Liberty City, and it's startling that both of these things can exist in the same dimension.
