holy crap
The question that still lingers is despite being publicly disgraced, will Houston 3000 still show up to this Saturday's NYC GAF meet up? We might have the exclusive interview with the man himself and get the dirt from him (with his permission to talk about it here, otherwise it will only be known to the people who went).
I'm pleasantly surprised that the thread's original plot is going strong, so while the meta-topic derailed things, JB's plot thickens, so the thread is slowly getting back on topic. Glad to see things are going well for you JB.
Well, this explains why Houston wasn't around to drink with when I was in NYC. Yikes.![]()
He never told us this story although we talked about girls. It took some balls for Houston to come clean like that albiet ignoring the shady stuff in the past. I don't think he'll get ridiculed for it though for the nyc meet up. I'm sure he'll get teased about it but he'll probably be the life of the party come Saturday.Imagine how embarrassed he is, basically every damn story he's told you guys has been complete bullshit and everyone knows it lol
The fact that your stuff quietly worked itself out makes the whole thing even funnier.
Don't worry, I'm not a chump like our dear pal Houston is.Well, this explains why Houston wasn't around to drink with when I was in NYC. Yikes.![]()
Hahaha. That made me laugh quite a bit. Well...no promises. I suppose it couldn't hurt to let GAF know the most juiciest details about why he did it. You get a little alcohol into the system and it becomes a real Verita serum for people. Then again, he hasn't let any dark things come to light in his drunken state.Sure. That's how it'll work.
I don't know if he has the courage to show up to the meet up now, because he's going to be the butt of all the jokes that night since we're going to be laughing at him the entire time. If he does show up, then at least he has guts and deserves respect. Although, I am starting to question if anything that he's told us has been a lie too, but I don't assume he has for the most part. Regardless, he's lost a couple of respect points from my book but it doesn't change my opinion about him.Imagine how embarrassed he is, basically every damn story he's told you guys has been complete bullshit and everyone knows it lol

That's great! Have fun.yep, she sent me a text this morning saying her plans fell thru fri night and she would love to meet up with me. yea!!
I actually have quite a large interest in games, I currently make a living (barely) as a game developer on the art side as well as game design; I'm not part of some large studio or anything, we're just a team of 2 that made a few crappy games, haha.I highly advise that you still stick around on NeoGAF, the quality of threads in most instances is very high and if you have any interest in video games it will be even better due to the gaming side (that's not to state that you must be interested in games, the off topic section is more than worth staying on the website for).
Wow, I didn't know you guys on this board met up in real life. I don't see why he wouldn't show up though; sure it's shameful, but it isn't the end of anyone's life.will Houston 3000 still show up to this Saturday's NYC GAF meet up?
He lied about this because it made him feel better during a low time (I'm guessing), but I don't see why he would lie about anything else, so I wouldn't assume that he just lies constantly. Though I'm not sure what else he says, all I really cared about was the stuff concerning my ex.Although, I am starting to question if anything that he's told us has been a lie too, but I don't assume he has for the most part.

Houston and I sent some PMs back and forth yesterday; I still don't forgive him for the shit he pulled back then, but he was mostly apologetic and surprisingly well mannered about it. He is fully aware of how pathetic he was concerning this woman, but he says that he has been going through a transformation recently and trying to become a better person, so it's possible that he isn't the kind of asshole who would pull this shit again.
I don't know if I'll ever want to be back on good terms with him again, these kinds of things have caused me quite a bit of stress over a woman who I was extremely passionate about, but at least I don't see him as a complete douchebag anymore.
Was gonna book a room in AC for Fri but she invited me to stay at her place instead. Aww yeaaa!
You have a point. I am over it for the most part, but I was still determined that I was going to call him on it on his own forum, I just felt that it would be the appropriate response.RawNuts, you might want to objectively ask yourself if you gain anything positive by staying upset over this. Does it serve you or him in any way if you don't forgive him?
Nice. Perhaps she really is quite interested in you but originally told you that she had plans for Friday so you could feel like her "plan b" and that would make herself seem like she isn't too interested.Was gonna book a room in AC for Fri but she invited me to stay at her place instead. Aww yeaaa!
I wish it was as sweet as it sounded, haha. It's extremely enriching, but very stressful and extremely risky doing freelance jobs where you're living paycheck to paycheck. I've worked at a studio once though and got paid well and consistently, but I didn't really like being part of a studio, I would rather play a large role on the games we make.That's pretty sweet that you're a game developer.
Yeah, he was rather nice about it; I'm not a very forgiving person, but I certainly won't be holding any grudge against him.I'm glad you guys made up for the most part. There's no point in holding a grudge against him, so why don't you guys try being friends again?
Other than the things concerning my ex, I have no idea if he has fabricated anything else but I doubt that he would have any reason to do so.As well as the fact that he's been fabricating posts related to dating and women.
You haven't met the woman though, she is pretty amazing, haha.I mean all this for one woman?
I see. I understand why you would want to be your own boss and make the games you want to make despite it being riskier. But best of luck of to you. It sounds like you a have a lot going for you. Just a word of advice: don't make a thread promoting your own game. It'll get you banned faster than you can say your user name, so yeah. What platform(s) are you developing the game for. I'm going to assume it's for IOS and Android or PC since it's low risk as well as costs very little to develop for.I wish it was as sweet as it sounded, haha.

It seems to be a decision between doing something you're passionate about or making money, the latter of which is starting to become more important to me when I feel like I'm at an age where I have a desire to start and support a family. We're really hoping to get good sales from one of our upcoming projects, then we can have the best of both worlds, haha.

Even though I've been dating some other women since, they just haven't compared to how I felt about her, she really is an awesome one.
I don't really want to post her photos, since she is typically pretty private about things. I guess her G+ photos would be considered public anyway, but I still don't feel right posting them, sorry.Can we just get a picture of this chick? I mean, to have one guy follow her 1000 miles across the country just for a chance to get with her while the other guy holds a year long grudge against a guy who didn't sleep with her but acted like he did on an internet forum and calls him out on it on the same forum even after he's already broken up with her, she must be smokin'.
I'm watching you through your window as you type this; see you in a year.Nobody knows me in real life so I'm gonna lie about sleeping with women.

why did it take balls for him to come clean AFTER he got exposed for being a pathological liar? I would have given him props for coming clean before he was already outed, once that happened he had to no choice. I know a person like him who lies about everything, but not as severe. Once you find out one white lie you realize that they weaved together a complicated fabric of lies all in order to keep up 1 lie, it's a slippery slope.
edit: when it comes to guys and their stories with girls, I have found it that most of it is filled with lies and exaggerations, like the saying "however many girls a guy says he slept with, divide it by 3 to get a more accurate number".

Good for you! I get from your attitude that you have some self-estem problems, hope that this story helps you with it. Keep cool, she's into you because there are reasons to be interested in you. Chin up JB!Was gonna book a room in AC for Fri but she invited me to stay at her place instead. Aww yeaaa!
