What with the first ever three-way Indie Kombat coming up soon (Chevy Ray vs Sophie H vs Arthur Lee, if you hadn’t heard), I figured it’d be fun to get in touch with the three participants and see if they’d be interested in some pre-game smack-talking.
The second reply I got was from Arthur “Mr. Podunkian” Lee, and let’s not beat around the bush here: it’s ruthless. Peep it below:
hey nick and all nerds at bytejacker,
before you begin, please click on following link and leave it running in the background:

arthur “bruce” lee vs. sophie “girlflash” houlden and chevy “chevyray” ray johnston. i group sophie and chevy together because in life there are two things: there are me, and there are losers. houlden and johnston have no chance. allow me to elaborate:
here’s a thing: chevy “chevyray” ray johnston was named after a car company. it is rumored it is in the back seat of one of these cars that he was conceived. not so much conceived as contracted. chevrolets are advertised as being built “like a rock.” fitting, for i suspect he’ll be sinking like one to the miry depths of some toilet somewhere.
sophie houlden. what can be said of sophie “girlflash” houlden. for a start: she’s a girl. by this i don’t mean anything about women game developers or anything. i’m just saying that i recently watched a timelapse video of her developing a game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8NcyQkZKjM
there. at the 1:10 mark. the man in the upper right corner comes out wearing a women’s red blouse.
“…she’s… a GIRL?!”
and on that note, i’m reminded of a well known song. ahem. it goes something like this:
“you gotta know when to fold ‘em, know when to houlden;
know when to walk away and know when to run”run, houlden. run away. not so much run as hobble i guess.
to close, houlden. johnston. sounds a lot like “hold on johnson”. by which i mean this: “hold on to your dick because i’m gonna rip em off, like i did to cave story.”
fatality, losers.

Brutal. Let’s see if Chevy Ray will be able step up to the plate.














Did he really decide to rip on her looks and call her butch? Bad form, sir. Bad form. And then to imply that she’s goign to lose because she’s a girl? Mr. Arthur lee, a world of “bring it” could not redeem you at this point.
au contrare, “by this i don’t mean anything about women game developers or anything.”
i have nothing against girl developers. the statement was, instead an expression of shock at a realization that is made in the sentence directly preceding it.
reading comprehension;
So instead of expressing delayed shock at her gender engaged in the activity you were witnessing, you were merely accusing her of not being girly enough for your barbaric sensibilities. Perhaps it would have been more to your liking if the video had shown her barefoot and pregnant making a sandwich instead of a video game, hmm?
YES LETS TURN THIS INTO GENDER STEREOTYPES. EVERYTHING IS AN “ISSUE” TO ME. *burns a bra and is in college*
This is Indie Kombat, Joe. Not Indie CircleJerk Playtime.
Exactly. Indie Circlejerk Playtime is the other 11 months out of the year.
To be honest I’m not surprised Arthur took jabs at the things he has, what’s his alternative? try and rip on how Me and Chevy make games? It’s not really an option since chevyray is miles ahead of him (and I’m lightyears ahead of that of course)
keep at it Arthur, you’re such a trooper, fighting a lost cause like this and not giving up like any sane, decent person would :)
heh fighting a lost cause?
i’m fighting two of em.
I’d love to split Arthur Lee’s skull open with an ice pick.
What a waste of material.
gotta use an ice pick to split a man as cool as me;
I want to see Joe “Cymon’s Games” Larson duke it out with somebody.
Actually, I know who I want for the next Indie Kombat.
Joe “Cymon” Larsen vs. Mike “Hamumu” Hommel.
Sorry I shouldn’t talk about the next round already. GO CHEVY SOPHIE ARTHUR!
I’m cheering for all three because whoever loses, we all the rest of us win! HA!
Well, okay, if you insist. But I only produce about 1 game a year, and I’m already working on this years, so it’s gonna have to have a really long deadline.
To tell the truth I have to go play Mike’s games first. Truth to tell, this is the first I’ve ever heard of the guy.
Sounds fun to me! Let’s make it a 72 hour deadline if you want it to be really long…
The real problem for me is the whole hour a day thing. Don’t know where I can squeeze an extra hour a day out of my life. I should probably start practicing that now. Might actually get some of my projects in the bag finally.
Well even if you guys don’t kombat, you can at least co-op on something! =) I feel like I just hooked you guys up, awwww…
