Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
A1, kitty. And a crock pot, if you don't mind.
Thanks for the movies, Bat. I'm sure they'll soon be on Razputin.net's formidable video gallery soon.
Six more days, six more days, six more days, woo woo! Am I the only one looking forward, here? C'mon, people, rejoice! Celebrate! Join my miserable impatience!

So is all this foreplay building the tension?

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
Sorry reefdog, I hate to be the one to unload this disastrous information, especially after I have been teasing you so much about your game.
I was just at a web site that is reporting that there is going to be a 3 week delay in the release of Psychonauts due to a security problem in the code and a health issue. Bad news here.

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
There will be a slight delay in today's installment of "Torture Reef," to build the suspense.

If you want, you can take the day off. Tim himself is torturing me enough right now.

And when you read this announcement, not only will you crap your pants, but you will crap your neighbors pants. You will crap your neighbor's pants so hard, that your neighbor will have to repaint his whole house. But he will be laughing the whole time because this announcement is as good as a million pairs of pants. This announcement is as good as a million pairs of solid gold, MAGIC pants.
"Magic pants" would be a good name for the male equivalent of the Wonder Bra, I think.

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
Oh, hello, reef... rather, in full, what I already put out the scoop on:

NOT THE ANNOUNCEMENT!
This is not the announcement. This is just me posting some info on the PC demo of Psychonauts. If this were the actual announcement, your pants would have been crapped by now.
Anyway, in case you haven't heard, private citizens may now download a PC demo of the most significant literary work of Mankind's Postlinear Age, PSYCHO-EFFING-NAUTS!!!!!
Download the demo and play it right now!!! It is a large demo (456 MB) but every MB is an MB full of pleasure and value! It is an awesome demo, and you will like it I hope. And it will help you kill time while you wait for The Announcement.
So will these brain-teasing clues about The Announcement:
1) It is rad.
2) It is going to be something you can start messing with THIS COMING TUESDAY.
3) It will cost you money.
4) You will not mind.
Friday... maybe I'll get around to playing it tonight.
I can compare it to the Xbox demo tomorrow night. 
(Oh, I am a genius...)
You can't wait, reef. You can't let me scoop you like this. You will buy the demo. You will not mind.

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
Actually, having found out that the OXM costs about $10, and this being 4/16, and me just having bought two new CDs to fill that digital void, I'm doing just fine, thank you.

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
So, reef- what's this I hear about another delay due to the debug team's heads also asploding?
And that Stubbs has a cameo? Care to comment?

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
I think the asploding heads was just them getting careless and letting Stubbs get behind them.

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
I have decided not to be a heartless [so & so] and let reef
have the scoop after all...
...before I come in with my cross-platformedness and show him up. 
Today is der tag, no?

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
I was pretty excited about Psychonauts at first but since learning that reefdog was so excited about that game made me lose interest. It's like finding out the girl of your dreams is the same girl Michael Jackson dreams about... being. Sure, she's the same girl she always was, but the "eeeeewwwww" factor went from nil to supernova.

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
Hmm. Gives a new meaning to any train sequences in the game. 
So, nobody in Tyler has it today. They all say it should come "later today or tomorrow." Guess I'll take this as a cosmic sign that I should be working on the three websites and four papers I have due.

Or that you spent your money the wrong way. Translating "later today or tomorrow" from retailspeak... hmm... "keep coming in every day until it arrives. Meanwhile we have many other wonderful products for sale..."

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
I just want to say that this thread is increasinly bizarre, if only for the total lack of non-mod representation.

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
I was going to let you breaking our date slide since I forgot it was Psychonauts day. But if you wound up doing homework instead (yet finding the time to post here quite a bit this evening...).

Re: Psychonauts Countdown and Coverage
The calendar day is waning, and I'm still waiting for my cement noun.
Edit: Here it comes! The news.html file on their server just came up saying it wasn't available! Everyone! Come look!
