Very cool and interesting. I can imagine there must have gone quite some time into all those drawings.

I actually second NoDeath’s request for a comment on Soulja Boy’s Youtube video about Braid. I’m sure he wants to hear you respinse because of the hilarity of the video, and I’m sure part of me wants that too, but a majority of me wants to hear your response to what basically amounts to a very “everyman’s” review of the game. Most reviews I’ve read about Braid have been from professional video game reviewers, who all key in to the artistic merits of the game, and yet, honestly, I think Soulja Boy’s comments and thought process about the game (”There’s no point to the game”, “Mario in the future”) are much more along the lines of thought that the average non-gamer, or someone who isnt used to looking for symbolism and metaphors and whatnot in movies, let alone games, would have, and is respone that Ive gotten when attempting to showcase the game to non-gamers.

Braid has the potential to change the way you think about reality. It will certainly change the way you think about video games.” - Jason Roher, Arthouse Games

“Braid is an ingenious and startlingly creative puzzle game, built with an understanding of good game design that even some of the industry’s most revered figures could learn from.” - PC Gamer Magazine (UK)

“For people who smoke, for people who drink beer and you get drunk, or if you smoke weed and you get high, or like anything like if you just get fucked up they got this game oh no this shit called Braid.” Soulja Boy

Paul: I wouldn’t mind doing such a series, but I just have too much stuff going on right now — it’s too much work to do it well. I do try to give good answers to those kinds of questions when I do interviews, so hopefully the information is getting out there, at least a little.

Really enjoyed both the game and the behind the scenes articles. Very enlightening. I would love to hear your thoughts on what solja boy thinks of braid. I feel its a well thought out and exensive analasis of the game, providing many superb comments on the time manipulation mechanics.
