We told you on Sunday that Bob Pelloni, creator of the notoriously unpublished Bob’s Game, was ending his 100 day protest under duress. Well Bob is back.

His headache has abated, his sanity has been verified by the authories, and he's resuming his 100 day protest.

And there’s more. It seems Mr Pelloni has worked himself into his own game as the villain. Not literally, I assume, but rather in the creaky hall of mirrors he optimistically refers to as his ‘mind’.

The object of Bob’s Game is now to take down an evil corporation called 'Gaztendo'. Every time you play Bob’s Game, according to his latest post, Bob kills a Pikachu.

The catch is, Mr Pelloni likes Nintendo, so by playing his game you’re seeking to procure an outcome he doesn’t want. Therefore, he’s the final boss in the game.

You want to hear from the man himself? Go on then:

"I, the magnificent, omnicient (sic, ironically) Bob- legendary developer of the greatest game ever made-hereby challenge Yuu in the First Interdimensional "bob's game" Championship!"
And there's more.

“The mild-mannered programmer of "bob's game," hopelessly tormented into a state of apparent madness from solitary confinement, has been valiantly pulled from the tragic wreckage of his former office by the local authorities- but they were too late.

“The mental torment Bob has suffered has begun his metamorphosis into the end boss villian of "bob's game," the egomaniacal creator of the "bob's game" inside "bob's game" known as "Bob."

“Once again barricading himself inside of what appears to the untrained eye to be the same office but is assuredly a secret dungeon lair, he will begin carrying out his ridiculous, meticulous, deluded, convoluted, senseless mess of vengeance... Or has he already begun?”

It’s confusing, I know, but I think the essence is that Bob Pelloni now believes he’s the living embodiment of both Gandhi and Tron.

I’m starting to wonder whether somebody’s pulling our legs.

Bob, hard at work.
