To All Idle Thumbers that'll be at GDC...

...Try to convince Tim Schafer that it's about time he had some babies.

I've been thinking about this at great length and I've decided that, if Tim had a son now... let's say his wife conceived soonish, and in roughly a year they had a son. Now, in 6 - 10 years time, I want children and let's assume that my first born in a girl. That's means there'll be a 6 - 10 year age gap - the perfect age gap between a guy and girl! Maybe!

Tim Jr will be ready to settle down at around 30, and my beautiful daughter will be young and impressionable and under strict instructions from me to marry Tim Schafer's son. Man it will be so perfect! Those guys are going to be SO happy together!

So if Tim Schafer could have babies soon, that would be cool. My future children are going to be engaged/married to one or more of his future children. I'll have them in training from their first day of life. It will be awesome, you'll see.

Using modern computer wizardry, I've done a quick mockup of how my child/Tim Schafer's child-in-law might look:

Using further computer wizardry, I've also made a new, improved version of the above image, using the very professional 'blur' tool to seamlessly merge together the facial assets I used.

I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet, but I'm sure it will all work out for the best

That's the smudge tool, not the blur tool.

So, in two generations time, Francis Bacon's vision will become a reality ?

I don't know how to feel about that.

[Roderick]

You know Tim is going to read this, right? And he'll understand that in 30 years time, his precious baby boy is marrying the daughter of a psychopath. Which he may or may not be totally comfortable with. I'm just sayin'. Cheers to you.

To be fair, Mr. Schafer's sanity should also be questioned.

In a good way, though.

As opposed to Yufster, who scares the hell out of me.

[Salka]

I'm not scary :'( I'm so nice and friendly in real life, you guys should all come to Brighton and let me make you cups of tea and some sandwiches, Ginger says I make the best salad sandwiches in the world :'( :'( I am so not scary in real life :'( :'( :'( don't be mean to me

[DanJW]

Feel free to shit yourself as you experience my rage!!!

[Salka]

That's a quote from a random 12 year old internet user. I did not say that.

Tim gave me a really odd look when I asked about this on Wednesday night... and then asked if I had been transferred to SOA permanently.

He seemed relieved when I said no I was still at SOE and only visiting for GDC.

[Salka]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Tim you betrayed me!

My sadness knows no bounds! My woe is endless! My heart is broken!
