Wow this is all pretty interesting. I am flattered someone's making a game about me. Your model is cool, reminds me of Goldeneye. Can I make some suggestions though?

1) If you could make the shoes brown that'd be better - I haven't worn white shoes in probably 15 years. Course artistically they stand out well against the fairly dark model.

2) Not sure where you got the face, could send you an updated one, if you wish.

3) Pants and shirt are fine - 90% of my clothes are dark blue or black.

4) My car is a 1993 Ford Escort Station wagon, red (well, more of a burgendy) Granted I suppose I'll steal other cars too.

5) Have a place I have to drive to to use CNC machines (like real life)

6) I like the idea of having a gun glue instead of gun guns. I actually quite enjoy shooting guns (rural Wisconsin, what can I say?) but yeah, probably don't want that in a game.

7) Have a "Gluestick" icon (ammo) in the corner, that kind of "melts" as the stick is depleted. Perhaps the glue could "catch" people a la Spiderman webs.

If you need voice samples, let me know.

If you want to make this game faithful to me, include the following: (These are things you probably can't guess just by looking at this site)

a) MGD (ok that one you can guess)
b) Playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 on an ancient PS1
c) Making 50 cent bets on everything (amount never changes) Usually stupid stuff like "I bet you 50 cents he dumps her" or "I bet 50 cents Star Wars will open with a $150 million weekend.
d) Watching Law & Order on TNT
e) If you have food in the game, use Dinte Moore beef stew, mashed potatoes, turkey sandwiches, those $2.99 10-inch Tombstone pepperoni pizzas. That's seriously all I eat.
f) Involve my movies if you can. Like in the game I'll still be working on Port Washington.
g) Game must take place in Wisconsin. Use Google Earth and take a look around Madison.
h) In the game I should get emails asking for "complete instructions, in this email, on how to build an N64p"

Alright, well if you need any help or ideas, just email me (real email not the PM) Actually trying to find, say, an Atari 2600 in the local used game stores can be quite the adventure, lots of driving, etc.

I can't imagine what the minigame/sidemission things are going to be... Retro games, CNC operation (not computer controlled i guess...)..

I love the idea of the hobbyist type tools as weapons. Glue gun, soldering iron, tape, zip ties, (craft knife?), spraypaint...

If there's any super simple yet mind-numbingly tedious task that no one wants to do, I would be glad to take it. I definitely can't compete for anything else, but I'll readily volunteer some grunt work.

I can do pretty much any kind of 2d art, so I'll help out with that.

Put the bunny gang in it, kinda a minigame where you control them and exterminate cats and dogs, or something, put mr pooperiod in, and hobbes, and a NOAC seller to punch, and knock out then hove as many hippy super noaccy mech things as you want!

Awesome, I didn't expect Ben to take to this so quickly but the more the merrier

Are we a mirror image or what? That's exactly what I eat.. Is this a sign?

I'm making progress still, I've almost got Triton's Oldsmobile textured and then I'll start on Ben's car.
