Default Uwe Boll enters gaming business. Hilarity ensues.

Meet his new game! 1968 Tunnel Rats:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40153.html?type= <-- SD
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40152.html?type= <-- HD (don't waste your bandwidth)

Game looks like it could have been good 8 years ago, but now we've had a game that looks like this and is just as uninspired: Far Cry.

This is made JUST LIKE a Uwe Boll movie trailer too, looks great.

You're all looking at GOTY 2009, people. GOTY 2k9. Calling it.

Whoever gives Uwe Boll money to make anything seriously needs a head examination and needs to fire his research staff. As they say, fools and their money...

People who pay to see his movies and Germany's law on paying for half a film's cost when it is released in Germany to German citizens as a tax refund is what gives Boll $.

I think he noticed Limbo of the Lost. Epically bad game that got a shitload of media attention. He probably wants the same.

Is there anyone on Earth that doesn't hate Boll?

The text was unimaginative, I'm ashamed that I sat through that trailer. I did get to see that lovely Smirnoff (bah, I can't spell it, it's Russian) advert, the extra filted one. That's a well done advert.

anyone who wouldn't want a free pack of gum from stride by signing the petition and saying that uwe boll does infact blow dogs for nickels is dickish and should be ashamed of themselves as a human being, and probably have bad breath... Seeing as they don't want free gum.

That's right, stride has stated that if that petition hit's 1mil, free gum for all that signed.

I don't care if Jessica Alba offers a free blowjob to every signer, I wouldn't sign it.

Whether you guys like it or not, Uwe Boll is a speck that means nothing. We all know he's a joke. The movie industry that is infinitely more established than the videogame industry knows he's a joke. Movie critics know he's mostly a joke (Heart of America and the movie version of 1986 Tunnel Rats not withstanding). He is harmless. The only reason you could hate him is if he made a movie on a videogame you liked and it was shit. Well news flash: it's the developer of that game who gave him the license to make a movie based on that game. Blame them, they know he's a joke too.

However, whether you like it or not, if you took the time like say, 5 seconds, to research him, you'd notice from interviews that when he is not doing his typical Boll MY SHIT RULES stuff and is being down to earth and serious, he really loves film, the art behind it, likes a lot of good directors, and just wants to do something he loves. Boll founds something he enjoys in life, and it is his dream job. I don't know what your dream job is, but if you're willing to take another man's right away from doing his, even though he is a joke that isn't harming anything, then I hope to god you never get to participate in your dream job either.

I do blame them alot more than him, trust me on that, And as for the whole idea of it being his "dream job" and that taking it away from him is wrong, he's the one who set forth the challenge to the person who first started the petition to get to one million, he is the one who put in the clause that he would quit if they did, if anyone is taking away his dream job it's him, himself and his cockiness. I don't believe the petition will ever reach one million, that's why i find it funny, but I'd find even funnier for it to, yes, I'm a spiteful person, but, I don't particularly care. Just like I don't particularly care if it meets the one mill or not, it's just a joke, just like uwe boll himself.

The entire idea of him being forced to quit by petition was brought on by himself, if he wouldn't have put his foot in his mouth, he'd never have anything to worry about when it comes to the future of his career.

I'm all for finding and sticking with what you see as your calling and love in life, but don't be self destructive and hinder yourself from being able to continue doing it, for that you'll get no pity.

He only did it because people hate him for stupid RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing reasons. There are way worse directors out there in the movie industry, namely Michael Bay, the people who make those ____ Movies, and such, the difference between them and Uwe Boll is is they are a lot worse because they actually carry weight with what they say because they had a few good movies so people actually listen to them, but no one cares about these guys. At least Uwe Boll's movies are manageable, those ___ movies (Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, etc) are RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING STUPID AS SHIT and the people who make them are infinitely worse than Boll.

I don't care if she gave me one for every signature first, wouldn't sign it because it is a huge dickish move and I would feel pretty drat terrible knowing I shattered someone else's hopes and dreams just for 1m BJ's from a hot girl & a pack of gum.
