Double Fine Action News!!!

Well if you remember that episode of The Simpsons with Channel 6 Action News with the exciting Kent Brockman, this is something like that. But not.

Seriously, this is the website of Double Fine, the computer game company started by Tim Schafer who used to work for LucasArts and designed games such as Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle. Well he's now doing Psychonauts which looks like the best (non-steef related) game coming up soon (that's my opinion, please don't spam me if you disagree).

Anyway, what makes this website so great is the news section, which is written by Tim himself (that's equivalent to Lorne Lanning going on line to have a rant every day) and is hilarious. I spent a few hours last week just reading all the old news and managed to get even less info from three years of news than one 'Ask Alf' page. But I was pissing myself laughing the whole time.

Well that's enough preview from me; go see for yourself:

EDIT: sorry, I put Kent ?Brockstein? by mistake. Must have gotten confused by Homer's mother's flashback to a young Kenny Brockelstein
