Thanks!

I actually can't watch it... I just have a hard time watching myself on video because I know I'm such a dork. ;)

But really, what a fun time.  Everyone there was really friendly and they've got the funnest offices I've ever seen.  Kathleen had this cute lil' pooch that ran around everywhere in a little red kilt.  It was great!

That's awesome Derek!  Congrats on the deserved publicity.  A couple weeks ago, Kathleen asked on the 1Up boards what people wanted to see, and me and a bunch of other people clamored for Aquaria.  Not sure if your appearance on the show was already in the works before that, but either way it was good seeing you on there  :)

Great stuff.  I look forward to watching Derek's dorkdom in action.   ;)  Also, that sound really perverted.

Just wanted to say I found out about this game from the show and before i know what happened i knew i wanted it. I took out my credit card and bought it straight away (don't really buy games at all)  I have yet to play more than 20min of it but I can already see that I really like it. I got to admit for 2 guys u guys made something really gorgeous, hope it sells really well and u guys can start on your next project. Gluck

BTW: U don't look that bad Derek :p

It was a nice segment, I think.  Derek's dorkiness levels were disappointingly low.  Definitely good exposure for the game, and it's always nice to see one of you guys getting out there and stuff.

As it was said already it's very nice to see Aquaria get so much attention. I guess generally more attention should be paid to indie developers, especially when it's so personal like in this 1up show segment. But of course, if anybody deserves this much attention there's no doubt it's Alec and Derek for such a great, polished work :)
