welcome. Random Tidbit: I like the way that Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture is in Fred's head, depicting Napoleon's inevitable defeat.

go to the ledge at the entrance of the cave and look around. There's a climbing net on the cliff in front of you, and a second one opposite and higher than it, on a crag sticking out of the cliff. You need to use your levitation to jump to the first net. Turn off your levitation as you reach the net at the end of your jump and catch onto it, then climb to the top, swing the camera around and jump to the next one. You just make it. Climb to the top of the second net and jump and then quickly double-jump, and you'll land on the tightrope and get the card.

gotta disagree with you there. The concept is great, but on top of that, the excecution is exceptional in every way. Music, writing, art, pacing, variety, smoothness, writing, sense of humour, depth of sidestoryquestystuff, imaginativityness, writing, inclusion of bacon as an important game element, this game has everying. edit: PS: you can never give the public little enough credit. Look at that last referendum in Ireland, for fuck's sake.

buRn him! WiTCCCH!! burNNn hiIm!!!

I just don't get it. Maybe Psychonauts doesn't have enough camouflage to sneak in past people's mental blocks.

I like the one at the start of hell's bells. not addressed to me, I know, but this is the internet...

I prefer Burton's first one. BB was more realistic, yep, but who really cares about perfect realism in a batman film? not me, anyway. Some much better lines in Batman, the batmobile looked better (it sounded better in BB though), and the plot of the second half of BB seemed to be pretty derivative of the first one, not neccesarily a bad thing, but still. Gary Oldman was brilliant though.

Nice.

He did play it, and enjoyed it. Where are you getting this from? He said (no link, it was in a pub ) it was refreshing to play a MI game without knowing what was going to happen, but it's not the way he would have done it. Escape was a bit of a turd, though.

I vaguely remember talking to Tim Schafer at a party in a dream. I think it was a really interesting conversation. I think.

I really enjoyed space tripper. You can get it here. And probably for free elsewhere.

I voted for these (actually I voted a couple times in slightly different ways): -Tiger woods is sorta fun when you're stoned on a sunny day. -Def Jam is the one with henry rollins in it I think. Pretty funny. -Paper Mario is one of the best RPGs ever as it takes the piss out of itself and all the silly-ass final fantasy-type stuff that people seem to like for some reason. -Resident Evil 4 is the most cinematic game ever (I.E. enjoyable for a viewer that isn't playing) and Psychonauts of course. If you don't vote for Psychonauts you will die alone. which will of course happen regardless, but it's as good a carrot as any.

My prediction: The implications for porn technology are the only ones that will be fully capitalised on. Just like every other technological advance.

eat me.

you're all wrong! As your host this evening, I'd like to present the end of the known universe. We'll be commencing after dessert and coffee.

I gotta say, the comfy orange wrapping paper and friendly notes I got with my doublefine shit are great. I'm probably gonna order more stuff. Tim loves everyone, it seems. Except for his enemies. They will all die horrible painful deaths. Yes, my master, oh great one, what is that you say? the hour is almost at hand? excellent. I am ready. just say the word. <bored in work>

Hey baby.

hmmm. Nah.

One of the girlfriends in SA works in the hospital, and can sort it for you so you don't lose your weapons when you get wasted.

order it on PC from doublefine. That's what I did. The minimum specs aren't too bad. PCs that run Psychonauts aren't as expensive as they were. It could be christmas by the time all the european localisations are done.

Milkman conspiracy. Sheer genius. Like a good episode of the x-files on speed, crack, and acid all at the same time. One thing I'd like to mention is the memory vaults. I found them to be a charming and effective way of providing backstory and relished finding each one. Kudos to Scott Campbell for some brilliant visual storytelling.

cheaper and better.

Hey baby, meet me. I'm a tough guy. Got my 'cycle outside, wanna try?

Is there a new Greg Bear book out?

mmmmm. Strat.
