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:

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.
