Phil Fish is awesome. Following him on Twitter is always hilarious as he doesn't care at all when people actually think he's serious when he's actually just laughing off everything.

He'll occasionally intentionally rile people up with a series of tweets that goes something like this:

1) lol watch this
2) the next tweet is a complete joke and is just proving a point
3) <INFLAMMATORY STATEMENT HERE>

a few hours pass...

4) LOL here's the Reddit thread with people attacking me because of the last tweet

Fish should stop trying to be Andy Kaufman.

Thx man. Now i like him even trough i dont like his game.

 

[jediyoshi]

Phil Fish and Ryan look so cute together. Like two cuddly teddy bears.

I only ship ryan and the boss of bosses

Here's the whole thing in better quality.

In all seriousness, in Australia I get 150MB a month on my mobile plan and this is not unusual. Excess is charged at like a gazillion dollars a byte.

So if I hit the wrong thread on my phone when I'm out and about? Bad things can happen. Yes I can turn images off, hence a warning before entering a page is still nice.

Yeah, mobile data costs are a rort. 150MB is ridiculously low, though; I get 500MB a month with my $30 pre-paid cap.

 

[RionaaM]

Be honest, 1% off is enough for you with almost any game.

If it says "on sale" Jase will get it, no matter the cost.

After all the talk about Fish I think I'm hyped about Fez again. Thanks Steam forums fools!

Luckily I have an unlimited mobile data plan.

Unfortunately my mobile connection is shit, and I can never seem to get an acceptable connection. 3G? Haha, if I'm lucky I'll get a little bit of EDGE, but most of the time I have nothing at all. Zero, nada.

&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; you too!

 

[keit4]

Yep, plus it was a lot easier for many of GAF to "boycott" his game when it was only on the 360, lol. Now his game is coming to PC, people seem to like him all of a sudden and he's gone from being a fucking dick to "just having a laugh!". Shocker.

QFT

Pathetic.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

wait

fez is on steam

<3

i was only pretending xD

 

[Messofanego]

Agreed.

Thank you for posting this gif, been looking for it everywhere!

 

[anddo0]

Fez pre-ordered.

I've never played the game. But I've followed the hype.

 

[FloatOn]

I'd high five Phil Fish given the chance. His dickish tendencies remind me so much of myself.

I really want to buy his game to support him and all but I'm wrapped up in La-Mulana... and then there is Monaco... and Blood Dragon.

So much cool stuff coming out. I'm trying really hard to not be one of those jerks that amass a huge amount of games and never play them.

There really needs to be a therapy thread for Steam addicts who just buy and never play because it's such a great deal and won't get a similar one in a long time (even though that's a bad assumption to make about Steam sales).

I'm not even really that bad compared to some of you people. I have 385 games according to the inflated games list (you know the one that counts dlc as games).

I've actually beat a handful of games in the past few months... so maybe I'll allow this game purchase binge. I should get drunk first though. Drunken game buying is so best.

 

[jediyoshi]

QFT

Pathetic.

Pretty sure there was always a contingent of people pining for a PC version of Fez in any scenario. It's about as shocking as seeing people positively responding to that as well.

Typical internet reaction there. That Fish comment was fantastic. Then the first reply has to be some bitter troll without any sense of humor.

 

[Mavromatis]

Thanks for the high quality version. When I clicked the other one I just see this and was confused.

Also Chivalry is on sale at GMG for $6.80 with voucher " GMG20-GGN5D-FC3NA ".

Haha, reminds me of this.

There is, it's called Backlog Blitz. I stopped posting on this years' thread because I was like -17 points, and now I'm probably -25 or so.

 

[HoosTrax]

Or people like me, who just don't care either way.

Or people like me, who've been under the gun trying to meet deadlines for software projects and know how much of a royal asshole and basketcase the pressure can make you.

 

[Gav47]

Fez PC apparently only runs at 720p in windowed and letterbox mode, there is no fullscreen option.

&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; you Phil!

 

[JaseC]

Weird. I'd assumed the X360 version to be 1080p.

 

[Fox318]

Thats what you get for playing on a spreedsheet device.

 

[Delusibeta]

BWHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is why you should wait for the Humble Bundle and then fiddle with the sliders such that Phil Fish gets nothing.

What the fuck

 

[FuKuy]

This is crazy. I hope a patch can fix this shit on release date.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Fez PC apparently only runs at 720p in windowed and letterbox mode, there is no fullscreen option.

And I was this close to asking a Canadian friend to buy the game for me.

releasing a shitty port: the ultimate middle finger

I assume monogame will be blamed for that, or Microsoft XNA.

 

[GAMERG0D]

I guess I'm waiting for Winter Sale 2014, I already have it on Xbox anyway.

 

[HoosTrax]

So where did the 1920 by 1080 screenshots on the Steam store come from then.

 

[JaseC]

So where did the 1920 by 1080 screenshots on the Steam store from then.

From an internal build that will never see the light of day. Like Bayonetta: 3D Vision Edition.

On a more serious note, it may be an oversight/bug with the review copy if the game is indeed 1080p-friendly. In any case, Fish has a week to address the issue.

 

[Madrugador]

Wow, this is crazy.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Fez PC apparently only runs at 720p in windowed and letterbox mode, there is no fullscreen option.

If this is actually forealzies, I imagine it would be a trivial task to upscale it somehow 2x2 to 2560x1440.

 

[DSmalls84]

Wow, this is crazy.

Hmm I was thinking of grabbing fez, does it seem like it will be a barebones port? No fullscreen seems weird.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Looks good there.

Someone confirm that or are some looking for reasons to troll us?

I guess we won't know until it's out or we get clarity.

 

[Last Baron]

He wants us back to work on our spreadsheets.

I think we've met our quota of spreadsheet jokes now.

Yeah, hopefully the review copy is just an earlier build of the game. Or maybe if you select 720p in the menu the game will just stretch out to fullscreen, it wouldn't be ideal but it'd be better than letterbox.

 

[toddhunter]

Confirm something from Reddit? I'm on the case.

 

[HoosTrax]

I don't know if that's Reddit PEBKAC or an old review copy, but from the Steam forum:

 

[Stallion Free]

Guys, why the hell would you post anything from Reddit after what they did with the Boston events?

 

[Haunted]

I don't know if that's Reddit PEBKAC or an old review copy, but from the Steam forum:

Crisis averted, faith in basic programming competence restored.

What did they do after the Boston events?

 

[Twinduct]

Hey man! They offer cats and spacedicks!

 

[HoosTrax]

What did they do after the Boston events?

You mean other than slandering a bunch of innocent "brown" looking people and accusing them of being the Boston bombers, in their rush to be an Internet hero?

 

[Fantastical]

What did they do after the Boston events?

Implicated everyone at the marathon except the actual bombers.

 

[Ruprit]

Honestly, that looks upscaled rather than a native 1080p res screenshot.

 

[Ledsen]

I assume monogame will be blamed for that, or Microsoft XNA.

Other XNA games seem to work fine.

 

[HoosTrax]

Honestly, that looks upscaled rather than a native 1080p res screenshot.

Or Steam jpeg compression. Was the game originally in 720p? I don't really see him redrawing all of the art assets to be 1080p if that is the case.
