The best part about all this is the inevitable piss-themed |OT| thread title that will come next Monday...

Would you ask Behtoven to get up to pee while writing his magnum opus?

I would definitely do, he wouldn't listen though.

Did you not know Beethoven's fifth was composed entirely in the bathroom?

INTERNET · Jan 22, 2016

Hmmmmm...

Hope he earns enough sales money to afford to build a bathroom

Lmao I didn't even see that coming.

Blow to his contemporaries: "Git gud".

Blizzard · Jan 22, 2016

Now that I think back on the glasses with the little square holes to help him finish the game...maybe they fit together in horrible fashion. The glasses help him see nothing but the screen, and the jar lets him never leave his standing desk.

I feel like spending time posting stuff on Twitter cancels out saved bathroom break time though.

harSon · Jan 22, 2016

There's absolutely no reason to do that. How much time does it save you in the long run? Like 5 minutes a day?

Blood Diamonds · Jan 22, 2016

um...

VeryGooster · Jan 22, 2016

If Blow is pissing in a bottle to give us The Witness, Hello Games must be going full blown recycling their shit for a potato farm like in The Martian for No Man's Sky

YianGaruga · Jan 22, 2016

Blow is probably pissing himself laughing right now

Blizzard · Jan 22, 2016

Hmmmmm...

The absolute madman. He created a time machine powered by his own urine, and went back in time to spend even more development effort?

Hmmmmm...

did you just spoil TW for me?

Zeth · Jan 22, 2016

Wait so it's actually surgical tubing that inserts into his urethra?

Major B.S. · Jan 22, 2016

Guys, remember that he is also probably still working from a standing desk.

If so, the garment and bodily mechanics involved are truly impressive.

Blow finally did it. He came up with a hotter topic to talk about instead of the game's price point.

Toparaman · Jan 22, 2016

This goes completely against my image of Blow. But also it's genius viral marketing for The Witness.

YianGaruga · Jan 22, 2016

Pif · Jan 22, 2016

Absolutely unnecessary. Marketing stunt attempt.

LiquidMetal14 · Jan 22, 2016

Games legit

Spoiler tag, geese.

Northeastmonk · Jan 22, 2016

Shouldn't this game be out already? Hopefully he sticks to apple juice and not coffee.

I need a wholesome experience. I love these developer moments, maybe they can make some sorta documentary and put it with the game?

Maybe this is what works?

If this is the case, then I can't wait to see what Hello Games does for No Man's Sky.

mf.luder · Jan 22, 2016

A catheter would have been a sweet preorder bonus.

marrec · Jan 22, 2016

Jon that bottle of pee don't make Witness good or bad. It don't make you a good or bad developer.

It just makes sense.

If you woke me up this morning and told me "Jon Blow pee'd into a bottle while making the Witness" I'd have answered "You mean he doesn't pee into a bottle all the time?"

This is the way less surprising than the 40 dollar price point Jon.

Make sure you think twice before shaking hands with Jonathan Blow.

Why? If this is what it looks like, he's one of the few males to pee hands-free.

There's dudes sitting in their homes that probably worked on the biggest triple A game, but they aren't really noticed. I know there's AI Engineers out there who probably don't tweet at all, but know most of the people in the industry.

You could say, one does more than the other? Maybe he's just making us all feel better this game is still being worked on? I'm just throwing this out there.

INTERNET · Jan 22, 2016

ITT: the only people more weirdly serious than Jonathan Blow

Please tell me there is a funnel at the end of that straw and it didn't went...into...things.

The answer to this puzzle and 700 more can be found when you purchase The Witness.

I don't want to answer that puzzle cause I know where it leads.

The Witness ends with

a FMV of Blow inserting a catheter and pissing into this bottle

confirmed.

red720 · Jan 22, 2016

I assume that's a catheter.

EDIT: Never mind, that was the point.

Maybe the game comes with a video containing some neat tricks that will help you finish it in one sitting
