Happy birthday to the most excellent game developer

eyooo

DOTT Steam page is up, guys! :D Release date is 22nd March according to other sources.

I'm excited!

Tim you absolute madman

December announcements (so far!) from Double Fine: Psychonauts 2 funding, Full Thottle Remastered confirmed, Day of the Tentacle Remastered trailer, and Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin (midquel game). And it's not even Christmas yet. :O

Grim Fandango: Remastered comes out on January 27th and Day of the Tentacle: Special Edition will be released later this year. Looking forward to them!

Some stuff is missing from his gameography, like Dark Forces (LucasArts, 1995), in which he is credited as the Motivational Guru.
In Tim We Trust.

Tex Murphy Project Fedora is still taking donations through PayPal for a limited time! Rewards are still available too! http://www.bigfinishgames.com/support-project-fedora-paypal

If you love games by Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert, you will LOVE the Tex Murphy games! They are great detective games set in the 2040s in San Francisco, and they have exciting noir mystery stories, interesting characters, great acting, fun adventuring, and a nice dash of humor. All five of the old Tex Murphy games are on GOG.com . There is also a Kickstarter project for the game that will be a modern sequel to the last Tex Murphy game (made in 1998). The Kickstarter ends on Friday, June 15 at 11:51 PM MDT, which is in less than 44 hours!

Monkey Island 1 & 2 + Grim are 3 of my alltime favourite games.
I remember first playing MI1 back on the Atari along with Sierra classics
Shame they don't make games like those anymore...
Thanks for the link Kenny, I failed a while back to run Grim w/ Vista 64.

We are in progress of building our website and we already have a topic on our forum about how to get Grim Fandango working on a modern PC. (http://eighthunderworld.forumotion.com/general-discussion-game-n ews-calavera-cafe-f3/how-to-get-grim-fandango-to-work-on-a-modern -pc-t80.htm?highlight=grim)

There are a few bugs in the game which have always been there; elevators, doors and the game interface. Off the top of my head I can't quite remember to how fix/get around the conveyor belt issue, but I think there are sevral methods. If you leave a post in that topic, I'll investigate and get a resoultion for you a.s.a.p.

Conveyor belt at the end of the world.

The elevator in the high roller's lounge I assume?

I actually first played it pretty recently. I was doing ok until I hit a part I could not get past. Apparently it was a bug that you couldn't get past on modern computers.

Yep! Back when it first came out before I had internet.

Has anyone here ever beaten Grim Fandango the first time around without ever consulting a walkthrough?

I got brutal legend a month ago and beat it recently. its a MASTERPIECE.

What be this here group :o

Oh my holy crap! I just got about 4 hours of "Brutal" gameplay and IT IS AMAZING!!!! So worth the two year wait! Trust me, once you expierience the grace of melting off faces and the majesty of the chrome tipped trees of this magical land of metal there is no turning back! Best game since Psychonauts!

Grah! Just one more day till I can filnally get my hands on the Brutal Legend! I THINK MY HEAD'S GONNA 'SPLODE!

"Tim Schafer is one of the funniest guys in games and Jack Black is one of the funniest guys in movies - together they keep you ROFLing."

I am not sure we should trust that review too much.

Pfft. Brutal Legend deserved at least a 50 out of 10...

IGN Gave Brutal Legend 9.0

Wow, they completely redesigned the website! The old one was nice, but this is pretty cool!

Ahhh!!! THE DOUBLE FINE WEBSITE IS OFFLINE! LET'S ALL HUDDLE UP TOGETHER IN THE FALLOUT SHELTER UNTILL THIS PASSES OVER!

Speaking of Ron Gilbert, has anyone checked out www.angrygamer.com?

Where is PC-petition for Brutal Legend?

Hey Guys Its me From DFAF, My name on steam is different but my name on DFAF is Dinnerordie17

And Psychonauts is the best game ever made, and Grim Fandango is my Second Favorite!

I'm sure Full Throttle and Grim Fandango will hit Steam eventually, since they said this wasn't the only batch of games they're adding. They could be saving Day of the Tentacle for a Special Edition though, assuming the Secret of Monkey Island one sells well.

Lucasarts comes to steam, but no word of Schafer's work being available. [face_sad]

Tim Scahfer is a god (but don't forget Dave Grossman & Ron Gilbert!).

Wow. You guys play a lot of TF2. I think I have the group for you then: http://steamproxy.net/groups/TSCATF2

We have had one of our admin accounts stolen and we know that a person from this group sent him and muyself a link to a very doggy website. We acted quickly and disable the account's admin rights to our Steam group. But he hasn't mange to get his account back yet and he has had to create a new account buy TF2 again.

yea .. i got that message aswell.. and me being hungover clicked it and got my account Hijacked, luckily i got it back within 4 hours.

Two members of this group have both sent me the same suspicious message which sends you to a page that I know from previous expierence is designed to steal your username and password. WTF guys!

Oh, Psychonauts definitely needs a sequel.

What's wrong?

Alright, this is weird. How many of you are hackers or have been hacked recently.

You can't hide from the Grim Reaper. Especially when he's got a gun.

"This deck of cards is a little frayed around the edges, but then again so am I and I've got fewer suits... "

who thinks psychonauts desirvs a sequal?

That's the only reason FT isn't on my best games list, it's just too damn short.

Well, that and the annoying wall puzzle.

Just got my hands on a copy of Full Throttle. Great Game but I beat it in under 3 hours!!!! WHY???

Just completed Grim Fandango for the first time in years. Still a great game!

Manuel Calavera: Buenos días.
Mercedes Colomar: You're not the nurse.
Manuel Calavera: No.
Mercedes Colomar: You're not here to give me my medication?
Manuel Calavera: No, but I am here to ease your pain.
Mercedes Colomar: Guess they couldn't save me, eh?
Manuel Calavera: No, but there's still a chance you could save me.

Your destiny... cannot be purchased.

(I'll see what I can do)

WOW, 100 Members! Well done [DC] Calavera, do we all get Double-N tickets now?

That's probably the result of me wasting two hours searching for people with words like "Grim Fandango", "Threepwood" or "Psychonauts" mentioned on their profiles.

Then again, I wouldn't want a group with like five people just because I am too lazy. Either i do it the right way or don't do it at all.
