While chatting with my friend David about the old LucasArts Monkey Island games, I started raving about another LucasArts game called Grim Fandango. Man, I loved that game. I had the main character walk around and talk to as many of the other characters as I could find, just to hear all the hilarious dialogue. The puzzles themselves were fun, but I could have watched and listened to the characters do their thing for days. Anyway, while thinking about those games, I remembered that a guy named Tim Schafer had created and directed some of them, including Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, which led me over to the Double Fine Productions website. Double Fine Productions is the company Tim Schafer started after leaving LucasArts and they've been working on a game called Psychonauts for a long while now. I've been anticipating its release for some time, so after reading some online news source a while ago stating that Double Fine lost its backing from Microsoft, I became a little worried. Well, I just went to check in on the site again to see where they're at, and it looks like they have a new financier! Good news! Not only that, but they have some cool comics on the website! And here they are. It's great stuff... enjoy! (comment...)

And for your listening pleasure...
