Hey, whatever.

It’s not like we worked hard on the game or anything. Why pay money for it?

oh what the hell is this? I hope the ending cinematic doesn’t load up and she craves wanting to see the ending. So she runs out to her nearest local gamestop to buy a used copy to replay one of the greatest games of 2005. But you know, she wouldn’t find one because no one sold their copy. That would be like a certain kind of hell for someone right?

As far as I’m concerned, Amanda can burn in hell!  Has no one told her about Steeeeeeeeeeeam?

I’ve bought Psychonauts twice now (and I’d do it again, damnit!) and this Amanda person can’t even throw down the change once to buy herself the best Christmas present anyone could ever ask for?  It’s a sad world we live in.

Her accomplices give us REAL Pirates a bad name. Witless wench, she and her brethren shall be keelhauled for their troubles.

But really, who cares?!… We have her current location! Tally ho!


Posted by Razputin on 12/08 at 04:05 AM

What a bad girl… I hope she hold her promises of buying it for the PS2. Actually, she need to buy it twice.

Hey, I just got she idea of spamming the christmas tree with Psychonauts =) !


Posted by Sugar Bot on 12/08 at 06:40 AM

What? She needs to buy one of every copy, regardless of if she has the system or not… Like the rest of us!
What?… Well, I have an Xbox NOW.

[begin novella rant]
Okay, that is total and utter crap. Not only does she give all Amandas a bad name, but Amandas who adore Richard Horvitz a bad name. She’s given me a bad name twice now!

I mean, geez. I downloaded the demo to play that a bit, and then searched every local Gamestop/EB Games for an X-Box copy of Psychonauts. Then I made my 22-year-old brother bring home his X-Box over Thanksgiving so I could beat the game in about two/three days.

I blame the internet and this stupid attitude amoung my generation that they have a right to get what they want now and not pay for it.

I hope her computer gets infected with viruses and croaks.

I’m gonna have to keep an eye on the news now. She might be feeling a very different kind of chipper shortly --- a WOOD chipper.


Posted by Mr Bun on 12/08 at 09:36 AM

Amanda is getting Coal for christmas!

Nice of her to put all her location details though wink


Posted by Goldwolf on 12/08 at 09:39 AM

Don’t you pull Horvits into this, Amanda.
...

You’re making the 2HB cry! Think of the children! :(


Posted by Subzeroace on 12/08 at 01:23 PM

RICHARD HORVITZ WOULD NEVER MAKE SOMEONE PIRATE PSYCHONAUTS!

Richard Horvitz would tell them to buy it! Buy it because it’s AWESOME! Richard Horvitz would even tell people to buy Psychonauts if he wasn’t in it! Thats just how he rolls!


Posted by Maratanos on 12/08 at 03:20 PM

Somebody is going to be highly embarassed if they ever see this…

Maybe Tim should post a link to his blog in a comment to them.

That would be… most amusing.


Posted by Icebox on 12/08 at 04:02 PM

Amanda, in all her webs of deceit and lies, could not anticipate the Grisly Brutal Beasts which would claim her soul in the name of Double Fine. Be this a lesson to you all.


Posted by Subzeroace on 12/08 at 04:05 PM

If you mean RICHARD HORVITZ I totally e-mailed him the link. I’m silly like that =O

If he even opens it I will be surprised, I sound like a raving lunatic in it XD


Posted by Bluewolf on 12/08 at 04:59 PM

O snap you’re keeping tabs on our livejournals, now?

Tsk tsk, shame on her. At least the rest of us bought it a couple of times to make up for her misdeed.


Posted by Evitron on 12/08 at 05:38 PM

Who wants to head with me to Amanda’s house and unleash a can of rawk on her face?


Posted by Esch on 12/08 at 05:39 PM

I wrote about Psychonauts in my LiveJournal on the 7th, where’s my news post? I call discrimination! : P

Sorry I didn’t buy it direct from you guys, but tell your shopkeeper he or she can expect patronage from me after the holidaze lifts. There’s a Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp t-shirt with my name on it!

I bought Psychonauts twelve times. Two of those were just irresponsible, so don’t tell my wife about them - it was in 2006. My buddy in California said he never HEARD of it, so I asked him for his address and bought him a copy via Amazon. In the mean time, I bought a copy for a friend for PS2, but that friend sold his PS2, so I told my wife I will return it. But then, I let my other friend Kelley have it, because he played the PC version at my house and was really impressed. (He hated the PS2 version, though...)

In addition, my family, friends, and my sister in law all got copies. Man, I bought that game like it was the end of the world. I was the PSYCHONAUTS WITNESSES, all by myself. But really, it was Christmas time, dammit… And it’s nice to spend $30-50 on someone and call it a day.

For Brütal Legend, I’m going to save the receipts, and send you a picture every year since the game been out, just so you will know I’m not lying. I swear, though, PSYCHONAUTS = 12 times. TWELVE.


Posted by Isaac on 12/09 at 04:25 AM

That’s nothing; I bought half a million copies of Psychonauts. Then I returned them because they were all defective. Mario was wearing weird goggles and didn’t have a mustache.


Posted by TheButtonEffect on 12/09 at 12:07 PM

Hey guys,
I can’t tell you how incredibly guilty I feel about this and I think I owe everyone an apology. I’m also going to say that I’m kinda glad you “internet bitch slapped’ me as someone put it. Besides the fact that it was REALLY STUPID for me to post something like that in LJ it just isn’t right to download stuff like that. I’m glad I never got around to doing it. So basically, this is one of those life lessons where I NEVER EVER EVER do anything like this again. And Mr. Horvitz isn’t a bad person and it’s silly to even joke about it so a big apology goes out to him. And to all of you that yelled at me and told me to burn in hell, I deserved that and I will hear your words in my mind when I even so much as THINK of downloading anything for the rest of my life. I’m sure TONS of work was put into Psychonauts and not that this makes what I said any better, but I’m going out to buy it today if I can.
Maybe I’ll buy it twice to try and make up for this XD.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
-Amanda


Posted by DinkyTiny on 12/09 at 01:00 PM

Yes, do buy it twice. One to play and one to bask in its DoubleFine glory ^.~


Posted by Maratanos on 12/09 at 01:37 PM

Yes, I was right.  Somebody was indeed embarassed.


Posted by willy on 12/09 at 03:03 PM

Isn’t Psychonauts for some reason free at http://www.gametap.com?


Posted by lejwocky on 12/09 at 04:53 PM

Wow I feel weird for only buying one copy of psychonauts.  Well next time I got to the store and see it I’ll buy a copy for prosperity, my current one’s box is falling apart due to my near constant playing with it.


Posted by Istele on 12/09 at 08:33 PM

I paid for it! And then bought it on eBay when someone stole the first one! And then they didn’t send, so I’m probably gonna end up buying it again somehow! Which is all very sad, since I don’t think you got any of my money from these buyings. D:


Posted by Xbob42 on 12/10 at 03:00 AM

You see, you gotta be careful when it comes to Double Fine, Mr. Schafer doesn’t take kindly to pirates (Or misspellings of his name… eek!) and “Amanda"s to begin with.  But cross-breeding the two?  Unthinkable!

That and we’re all basically his zombie crew, and no shotgun works on Schafer-zombies.  So you were smart to give up!  Now buy fifteen copies of Psychonauts and we might call it even.  ‘We’ as in the community, Mr. Schafer already has you on his hit list. smile


Posted by Mr Bun on 12/10 at 12:35 PM

Ain’t it the truth. So can we get ID cards identifying us as official members of the Schafer-zombie army? Command us, Master Tim! smile

And good work Mario! I have only bought 5 copies of Psychonauts. (I’m such a slacker.)


Posted by Clayber Toss on 12/10 at 03:37 PM

I heard the last time Ol’ Schafey had a run in with an illegal downloader, he put the smack down so hard that all the police could find left of the little crook was a severed chunk of face, ripped in the shape of a two-headed baby.

True story. Also, Tim Schafer is an African lion.


Posted by BUNNY FACE on 12/10 at 06:08 PM

You guys are [Pee-pee, potty, poo-poo!], seriously. I mean I can understand being upset about somebody downloading something you worked hard on to create, but I think telling her to burn in hell is a little fierce and excessive.
I don’t see the big deal. She said she was going to buy it, didn’t she?


Posted by patronise on 12/10 at 09:06 PM

Hey, I could have bought it for $15 for PlayStation 2, but I really wanted Tim Schafer’s autograph and the soundtrack signed by Peter McConnel, so I laid down $90 for it all. SO WORTH IT.


Posted by Chief Wakamakamu on 12/10 at 09:18 PM

Now, Bunny Face, obviously you don’t understand the nature of the people here.

We. Joke. Around. Alot.

Although, TheButtonEffect DOES deserve to burn in hell.


Posted by LusikkaMage on 12/12 at 04:09 AM

Couldn’t help it, created a Digg article

Posted by Cretaceous Bob on 12/12 at 05:06 AM

You’re totally right Bunny Face, it is extreme, because people literally want her to burn in hell. Hyperboles are never, EVER used on teh internetz.

I think I’ll download Psychonauts on Xbox Originals now, just to say piracy is bad.


Posted by beckey on 12/26 at 10:51 AM

You’re not supposed to tak about your internet piracy in public posts! Duh! She fails internet piracy rule #167. Yarrr.

Is it okay if I pirate really bad games to make fun of them without paying for them? I don’t want to vote with my dollar vote on terrible videogames.

But I really like playing terrible videogames a lot. They’re hilarious.


Posted by Pippilina on 02/17 at 02:59 AM

>I don’t want to vote with my dollar vote on >terrible videogames. But I really like playing >terrible videogames a lot. They’re hilarious

I don’t know about that, if you get some pleasure from it, you should pay for it.  That way, there will be more terrible videogames for you to enjoy in the future.  But if you really like terrible videogames, there are plenty of free ones!

That Christian Zoo Racing game is so wonderfully bad that I am thinking about buying the full version just so I can enjoy it in its full splendor:
