The truth behind Eric Hartman and Blockland

[Nobot]

Eric Hartman as a child was abused by older children around his neighborhood because of his small size and his strange appearance.
Eric at the time had a mole on the side of his neck that kids would flick and tease him about.

He constantly told his parents about this and they just said to cover up it up so other kids couldn't see it.
Later through elementary school kids teased him and called it the Bad-spot.
People eventually ended up calling him Badspot and he stuck to the name.

As a child, Badspot would play with Legos and constantly wandered around trying to find people to play with.
Nobody wanted to play with him and therefore he began to slowly go into depression and started using the school computer instead of going to class.

His mother was a crack addict and couldn't afford buying him games so he wasn't home often and used the school computers after school.
One day after school he saw a teacher using a weird looking program and approached him.
The teacher was messing around with a gaming engine called Torque.
The teacher discussed with Eric about it and let him mess around with it after school.

Eric eventually learned Torque and began creating small games throughout middle school and High school.
Eric was still somewhat lonely and as an adult moved out of his mothers house.

Eric began making games a lot and was happy.
He remembered his childhood when he use to play with Legos and wish he still could.
Eric began to work on a somewhat similar game, but with better features as he wanted.

He grew older and eventually developed Blockland into what it is today.
His mother died of cocaine overdose and he didn't attend the funeral because he disliked her.

That's the truth, folks.

Also the treasure chest was added because he dug out his mother and put her in his old toybox treasure chest from when he was a child and put it in the basement as revenge.

It is still currently there.

Eric was ahead of the curve. He likely got A's and B's through school. It's also likely that he was bullied. I consider this, because he got into Virginia Tech.

As for his alias "Badspot", when he came up with it noone else took it. Badspot is most likely a pun on the genital area.

He developed BL after he was thinking about one of his earlier torque game projects and how if things 'snapped to a grid' how they'd work better. That kind of gave him the idea of BL. It was some really good intuition too, because if it wasn't for that idea, he probably wouldn't have ended up where he is today, although he'd probably still be a little above the sea due to his 4 yr degree.

Every registered love offender database in US lists at least one person named "Eric Hartman".

VH1's Behind The Blockhead

They should make a comic out of it, like those TF2 comics
