Charlotte, North Carolina – Game developer Dan Russell-Pinson resorts to begging iPhone game reviewers to give him publicity, defacing famous works of art and making juvenile jokes about balls in order to promote his new physics-based iPhone game called Collider, due to be released by the end of January, 2010.
“It’s pretty sad” says a close friend who didn’t want to use his real name. “He used to have so much self-respect and confidence, but the drive to push Collider into the Top 100 of the Apple AppStore has made him… regress”.
His slide into immaturity was evidenced when he released a promotional video for Collider (see link below) which depicts well-known works of art shamelessly defaced to include the positive and negative particle balls from the game. As if that wasn’t enough, Russell-Pinson is also using the tagline “Do you have the balls?” as part of the promotion.
“Did he have to go there? I mean really…” says another close friend who also refused to give their real name. “Is he still in Middle School or something?”
To make matters words, the game designer has also been witnessed practically groveling to any and all iPhone game reviewers who will listen to him in a desperate attempt to gain pre-release publicity for Collider.
Concerned friends and family, currently planning an intervention, released this statement to all members of the media: “We’re simply asking that all iPhone game reviewers please just give Collider a little attention, maybe a small blog post, something… anything!”. When asked what could happen if Collider isn’t successful, they said “I don’t know… He might do something desperate like make a sequel to Furballs or worse, create more videos…”.
