Gamertell: Bob's Game Preview

Gamertell writes: "Tetrid infuriated me to no end, yet I couldn't help returning to play it over and over.

Wasn't this the guy who screamed for years about Reggie trying to not support indie devs by not paying for his game?

In the update he basically describes himself as homeless and using the cash he got from backers to try and get his life on track.

This is just plain weird.....
