Ten years ago today, history was made.

Awesome guy. Anyone have any details on the pickle cards? Origin? What was on the cards? Importance?

Trading cards are scattered throughout the map in Deadly Premonition.

SWERY's excitement over the cards always puts a big smile on my face as well. I've never played Deadly Premonition myself, but have to come to love a certain charm in the game throughout the endurance run(s).

Watching this again, never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Lol it's funny, I have never played this game but I have a great appreciation for what I've seen (courtesy of the Endurance Runs obviously) and SWERY himself. God bless that guy. Plus, I'll finally have an opportunity to play the Director's Cut, so excited for that! :)

What a charming interview. I never played Deadly Premonition, but I feel that I should, because I'm a huge fan of developers who dare to do things differently.

Right at the end when he was looking at the card to the end I had a huge smile on my face.

They're probably still too wounded from the experience to trust themselves to speak around swery; brad especially.

Yeah, who made those, anyway? Very cool. And yeah, you could tell that he really enjoyed them. I also loved it when Swery leaned over to Luchadeer for a photo. XD

AHHHHH! That BLOONS TOWER DEFENSE theme in the background! Can't anybody else hear it!?
 
 But really, it goes great with the sheer absurdity of the game.

Excellent love the business cards. And yet again I am reminded that I still need to finish watching the ER for this.

He looks so meek in person. He got so excited about the cards, it was great. 
 
Most other developers you know you know for their revolutionary design and directorship(Molyneux, Miyamoto, Specter, etc). Swery doesn't fit into those groups, which makes him that much more interesting. Super interested where he's going next, and whether or not that means a DP2. Which I hope it's not.
