Tim Schafer gives me the warm fuzzy feeling. Such a lovely post.

Please bring Brutal Legend to the PC so I can unreservedly love you :-(

Even Mr. Schafer received rejection letters citing the “economic climate”. I feel like we’re brothers…

Everyone was a pirate once.

““Yeah! I love Ball Blaster!” I said. It was true. I had broken a joystick playing that game on my Atari 800.

“Well, the name of the game is Ball Blazer.” Mr. Fox said, curtly. “It was only called Ball Blaster in the pirated version.”

Gulp.

Totally busted. It was true—I had played the pirated version. There, I said it. Now, if you’ve ever pirated one of my games you don’t need to feel bad, because I did it to Lucasfilm Games when I was in high school. Of course, if you’ve pirated two or more of my games, that’s a different story.”

YQMGWZ!!!! Tim Schaefer was a pirate!

Tim Schafer was paid a lot more 20 years ago than I’m paid now, even disregarding inflation. :(

Hire me Tim Schafer! I’m a European with a degree in English literature, love of games, writing, and glorious 1 month old sideburns. And I like starting sentences with “and”.

Began giggling uncontrollably at “Oddly enough, beneath it is a picture of you.”

Bear in mind that if Tim Schafer hires you, he will (I quote) “yell, ‘Alright, back to work suckers. And no talking!’ And weld the door shut with everyone inside as I laugh and laugh and laugh.”
