The rapper behind the Grammy-nominated, #1 hit single Crank That (Soulja Boy) gives us his thoughts on the IGF award-winning Xbox 360 masterpiece Braid.
This is hilarious. Indie games crossover into the mainstream.
But Is Souja Boy missing Jon Blow’s deeper artistic intentions for the game? Perhaps the work is strengthened because it can be appreciated at a wide gradient of depth.

that was a pretty good analysis

But see here’s the thing, you can go WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
A certain lawyer
Family Fun or Digital Dealer?
A prominent performing artist today stated that the game Braid is for drug users and drunks. With lighthearted graphics designed to appeal to younger audiences, is this gateway game taking aim at your children?
Troy RULES
I saw this last night. Betcha he really likes the game, but fucks around in the video to keep his MTVcore cred.
Paul Eres
It’s kinda depressing seeing all the racist comments on youtube.com’s comment section there.
Julius
Some people might say this video is shit, or that Soulja Boy is a dumbass. But one thing I will tell you, he is having more fun with Braid then anyone I could even imagine.
muku
“It’s like Mario inna future” :D

Note to self: Make next game have some kind of feature or gimmick that is appealing to people with short attention spans and limited vocabulary.

Wow, Braid is considered “indie” now?
Valkyrie
You KNOW someone is going to hack Soulja Boy’s voice into the PC version:
*Tim dies, hit time key*
“Ye-oooop!”
yuj
you guys are crazy. this be funny as shit
Biggerfish
I now have the uncontrollable urge to buy Braid.
Whoooooooooooooop.
*Side note: I always get pissed off when people say “The game has no point”. Like, really mad.*
alspal
I can’t believe I wasted my time watching him.

Bezzy
To be fair, there’s no point to any game.
Very insightful, in a fatalistic way.
Jay
soulja who? :p

I’m disappointed with every one of you on TIGsource that was offended by this.
loopholezero
loved the video. i wish there’d be more games that elicit that sort of reaction from the players.
yeah, and stoners are just like little kids. when watching a friend play the cell stage of spore there was a similar vibe(and probably smell) in the room.
Raza Black
They are like five year old children. Who swear.
A lot.
bateleur
Did he just describe the protagonist of Braid as a “nigger”?
http://sophiehoulden.com GirlFlash
meh, art is open to interpertation, and ‘mario inna future’ is a pretty awesome
Scott
Well it’s on Xbox live, what did you expect?
Though I’m curious how far into the game he was in that video.
Bezzy
That’s about the fourth screen, I think?
Adrian
What an fucking idiot, I wish he would die.
