Escapist Magazine goes all fanboy on Team Roomba
The Escapist (home to the inimitable Zero Punctuation) has interviewed the Team Roomba lads.
There is talk of griefing videos (as we’ve seen a couple of times before), and the ethical implications thereof.
Arriving at the initial crest of enthusiasm toward Valve’s Team Fortress 2, Team Roomba’s video showing an array of petty, hilarious and oft imaginative cruelty was an immediate memetic sensation. Griefing is usually little more than plain sadism; but with the right soundtrack and frame-perfect editing, Team Roomba’s videos have turned it into - whisper it - a kind of comedy performance. Or, at least, something other than just being a douchebag.
No mention of an an apology for getting Celine Dion stuck in my brain (again).
