From Wired: "Everyday Shooter creator Jonathan Mak baffled attendees of the Game Designer's Rant when he didn't use his segment of the panel to complain about the state of game design, but rather to play some catchy music and release a number of balloons into the crowd."

Yeah! Somebody willing to just relax and have some fun ^^. Sounds like he understands more about what makes games enjoyable than anybody else I've heard at GDC yet, and he didn't even say anything.

I love Mak now.

Did someone at 0:12 say: "you faggot"? :D

0:12 is like "What is this... ballooon? I do not understand!"

It is too short for that. It goes like "haaha you faggot"

Jon Mak is awesome. And maybe a bit insane.

oh, mak <3

there was a heart, but i guess it was filtered out.
where's the love, tim?

It probably deletes angle brackets as a script prevention measure :).

yay!

I didn't put up the video, I was too busy throwing out the balloons and crappy yoyos :) (I helped Jon set that rant up)

actually, 0:12 is more like, "ahaha! go faggot!" :D
