What a useful and meaningful contribution to society.
just kidding, that site is motherfucking hilarious

jlm11f's avatar

I agree with Allie. Congrats Richie! Keep working hard and you’ll definitely get even bigger clients than IW!

I read that earlier than thought it was amazing! What a great write-up! What a great way to get to know more about another jelly!

aprilsimnel's avatar

Well done. One day when the announcement comes that your net wealth has surpassed Bill Gates’, we’ll say we knew you when.

richardhenry's avatar

I love you guys! :)

The interview has hit the Digg homepage which is pretty crazy.

I’d also like to add that I enjoy that Rob has put my username in console font, like I’m a robot or something.

cage's avatar

That was the worst interview I’ve ever read. I’ve had better interviews when you’re asleep and I’m standing over you after 3 hours of your xbox past 1am smelling your hair!
See you tonight!

Seriously though in front of everyone, I’m proud to know you in person.

Nimis's avatar

Agreed. Congrats on the interview.
And congrats on having an adorable mom.

If only my mother was alive so I could smack in her face that good does come from a pottymouth!

cage's avatar

@Nimis his mum thinks I’m adorable… aww yeah ;)

Nimis's avatar

@cage With that kind of ringing endorsement, how could I disagree?
Adorable by association works for me. ;)

chyna's avatar

Yet another famous person on fluther. Congrats!

bythebay's avatar

@richardhenry: Kudos on the interview and well deserved attention! Well done!

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

I’ll try to congratulate him, although his age will of course detract points from my aoverall admiration. Congrats, richardhenry.

artificialard's avatar

Now whenever I see richardhenry my mind reads it in a roboto voice.

aprilsimnel's avatar

There’s a whole thread devoted to him at MetaFilter!

bythebay's avatar

Wow, a true rock-star in our very Fluther presence!

richardhenry's avatar

Speaking of “rock star”, my name was just mentioned in the same MTV news bulletin as Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Rihanna.

This was my favourite response on the matter:

“A teen programming wiz” – impressive! Jays comment was very funny, but I wouldn’t advise it. If you’re eyes are swollen shut you won’t be able to work on your “secret project”. :)

fireside's avatar

Soon, richardhenry will be modding the Fluther site from the backseat of his limo.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

Soon he will become an unbearable ass like the rest of those celebrity pukes, his fame will go to his head, his ego will rival that of Rush Limbaugh and we will all left reminiscing of the time we knew him before he became the Courtney Love of fluther.

Don’t let it go to yer head, boy.

richardhenry's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra Shush now, puny human.

asmonet's avatar

If the person who dominates the world has an English accent I don’t think I’d mind.
Oh jeez, what would my forefathers think?!

eambos's avatar

How did I not see this?

That is awesome! You’ve got a lot ahead of you!

richardhenry's avatar

Lurve for everyone, thank you so much for all the support. :)

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

I wonder if my comment will get removed if I say we should all ask to see him in the nude?

cage's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra it’s not the prettiest sight, definitely not worth the wait.

asmonet's avatar

You both have such an unhealthy relationship with each other.

The project for Infinity Ward just went live, reply to the current question by posting a tweet containing #MW2! It’s had a crazy amount of coverage, and the hashtag immediately shot up the Twitter trends leaderboard. Awesome fun. Let me know if you run into bugs or have ideas, I’m still working on it for the next week or two after launch.

richardhenry's avatar

If we overtake tweets about American Idol, I’ll be laughing. http://search.twitter.com/

eambos's avatar

How could someone care more about American Idol than anything?

Horrible, horrible show. You should be at #1 right now.

richardhenry's avatar

500 tweets in half an hour. Jesus. I hope I haven’t written shitty code anywhere that’s going to corrupt the whole thing. ;)

This is my fave reply so far:

MOAR GUNS NEED MOAR GUNS :(

fireside's avatar

“Just add as many guns as you possibly can”
lol

robmandu's avatar

Wow… now I wish I played MW2. Regardless, this is frickin’ bloody brilliant concept… and the site execution ain’t too shabby neither!

robmandu's avatar

btw… when exactly do you sleep? Tea and steak sandwiches keeping you up all hours? Hell, it’s bedtime here.

richardhenry's avatar

@robmandu Haha, I actually do have a reasonably normal sleep pattern. Sometimes. I’m babysitting this website for now though; we haven’t even hit the media yet. The fun is yet to begin.

robmandu's avatar

I’m confident the lessons learned from cursebird have served you well. Best o’ luck, me bucko!

eambos's avatar

I might join twitter just to spice up your app. I’m thinking that MWF needs moar good time gals and prostitutes, if you know what I mean.

And MOAR WEAPONS BOOMS AND BOMBS!!

jlm11f's avatar

Yay! I will not be responding to the question since I have no idea what MW2 or any of this stuff is. But I am glad your site is finally up!! oh and that you found a new member for fantastic! now when does he join fluther?

richardhenry's avatar

@PnL This is Call of Duty 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JC3UMJ2It4… “MW2” is the teaser for the yet to really properly be announced and still really wrapped up in secrets Modern Warfare 2, the sequel.

eambos's avatar

I still only see 2 names on the fantastic site

richardhenry's avatar

@Eambos I’ve just hired Ben; his name will go up when I add the client section (now that I actually have interesting clients) and the blog/news.

eambos's avatar

That’s awesome! Maybe you could get a sneak peek into that API that was supposed to come out and make us a cool app :P

I can’t wait to see what will come from the collaboration of geniuses (genii?) !

jlm11f's avatar

@richardhenry – ah got it. let me know when IW makes games that will motivate me to memorize and learn new biochemical pathways faster. ;)

eambos's avatar

Pretend the Soldiers are White Blood Cells and the insurgents are an invading disease. Each road is a different pathway. Now PnL can become a gamer! Yay!

richardhenry's avatar

@Eambos API for what? I’m confused… the Twitter API? Was Cursebird not cool enough? ;)

eambos's avatar

Fluther API. Use your inside connections to get it early.

I should have been clearer. Cursebird works great!

richardhenry's avatar

@Eambos Aha, it’s not really close to being finished yet as far as I know. I’m on the early early beta list though ;)
