    Cool, do your best data!

  2. Azukki - # March 23rd, 2009 at 5:47 am

    Awesome.

    …That’s the creepiest statue I’ve seen in any sort of depiction. More so than the ones that sneak toward you when you look away or even blink.

  3. KRAZYKYLE - # March 23rd, 2009 at 6:18 am

    Is that statue based on Cortex Command or just a random crab?

  4. FinDude - # March 23rd, 2009 at 6:35 am

    Random crab is random.

    Have fun at San guys!

  5. Tobeh - # March 23rd, 2009 at 6:49 am

  21. BobbyB - # March 25th, 2009 at 11:01 am

    Stop fucking around and work on the game damn it! The last offical PC release was was build 22 nearly 5 months ago. Releasing smaller more frequent updates is key to success, trust me.

  22. ColeScheffler - # March 25th, 2009 at 6:13 pm

    Congrads!!!! I hope you guys WIN!!!! And if you do…that will inspire you to do even more than you would!!!!

  27. Reed1000 - # March 25th, 2009 at 10:53 pm

    Now that CC was won technical excellence we’ll be expecting great things from you data, greats things indeed

  28. Michael Kingery - # March 26th, 2009 at 12:59 am

    was great meeting you at GDC, loved what i saw, and other then some simplification and unification of the interfaces and controls a solid and rewarding game!

    what was the highest kill count today btw?

    keep up the hard work!

  29. Al King - # March 26th, 2009 at 2:15 am

  33. Guilllaume - # March 26th, 2009 at 10:54 am

    @ABC : you have to spell it like this : Rox

  34. Krumbs - # March 26th, 2009 at 1:13 pm

    Good job Data, feel free to take a rest and hire some more henchmen to push of the hundreds of girls surrounding you every time you leave the building.

  35. Shard - # March 26th, 2009 at 2:31 pm

    Nice, two awards!

  36. Woose1 - # March 26th, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    What… was the other award?
    Also, you spelled “Swedies” wrong. :D

  37. Krumbs - # March 26th, 2009 at 3:49 pm

    Audience award. He showed his rippling muscles.

    When I saw a photo of it, I thought it was shopped.

  38. Mooseral - # March 26th, 2009 at 6:02 pm

    Technical Excellence ($2,500)
    Cortex Command, by Data Realms

    Audience Award ($2,500)
    Cortex Command, by Data Realms

    I wonder how many crab bombs that buys?

  39. whitty - # March 26th, 2009 at 6:26 pm

    @38:
    crabs are free. only the craft costs you :P

  40. Godless - # March 26th, 2009 at 6:46 pm

    This game is worth at least two awards. Good going, Data.

  41. Mooseral - # March 26th, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    @39:
    Logically then, Data now has funds for (counting on Rocket 1 exchange rates) exactly 100 crab bombs. Quite a haul!

    Also, lol, shirt.

  42. Durza - # March 27th, 2009 at 8:08 am

    Congrats on the wins Data.

  43. vetrox - # March 27th, 2009 at 8:44 am

    Looks like no one has hit that crabs weak point yet.

  44. Guilllaume - # March 27th, 2009 at 9:49 am

    @43

    Then,we should be glad its not the dreadnought type of crab.

  45. Dodo - # March 27th, 2009 at 4:43 pm

    Gratz Dan, you’re the best, you even ripped your shirt on stage:).

  46. Geti - # March 27th, 2009 at 4:49 pm

    you are a god, good work on the 5k and dual awards. CC definitely deserved technical excellence this year.
    shame on the hangover; i dont get them ^^

  47. KarvaBopi - # March 27th, 2009 at 4:50 pm

    so cortex command won Technical Excellence and Audience Award :P

  48. KarvaBopi - # March 27th, 2009 at 4:51 pm

    nice.

  49. Geti - # March 29th, 2009 at 5:17 am

    still hung over?

  50. Gainsworthy - # March 29th, 2009 at 5:46 am

    Well Done guys! You totally deserve them.

    That giant crab should be an award, too. Maybe for shirt removal….

  51. Jason - # March 29th, 2009 at 8:52 am

    congrats on ur wins, guys!

  52. Shard - # March 29th, 2009 at 9:10 am

    Is B23 almost done?

    I can’t wait :) .

  53. Woose1 - # March 29th, 2009 at 9:46 am

    I haven’t seen any new PICZORZ for about a bussiness week now….

    Is DATA still alive?

  54. Mooseral - # March 29th, 2009 at 10:51 am

    Well, according to the dev post, GDC is about to be unleashed, and yet he is also hung over and has 2 awards from GDC.

    Therefore, Data must be in a _PARADOX!_
    This is obviously the logical conclusion.
