Testing, testing.

Is it possible to update this incredibly sexy new website from a hotel room in Germany?

I cannot wait to find out.

Update: In Germany, my shoes smell worse than usual.

Whoah, so it was’t only me who noticed that!
Those gearmans are conspiring against our shoes!

You should really be representing your company for the foreign game market. Get down to the mall and start sneaking copies of Psychonauts into peoples’ shopping baskets.

Yes! You are able to update this incredibly sexy website, from your hotel room in Germany.

Are You Insinuating That Germans Smell?!

This information is relevant to my interests.

Whatever you do, don’t blame it on the wiener schnitzel.

What that has to do with foot odor? I don’t know exactly.

All I know is that you don’t want to blame it on the wiener schnitzel because it’s not it’s fault it is so delicious and possibly made your feet stink more than usual from eating it.

To help relieve foot odor, drink plenty of Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier and kick bare feet up on desk.

No no, if Germans smell it would cover up the odor of his shoes so they would appear to smell less, right? I think that needs a scientifical investigation.

But I can’t do it I’m biased. It’s probably only a slight incompatibility between American shoes and German streets anyways, most likely due to the metric system.

Oh, and I would volunteer for Psychonaut copies being snuck into my shopping basket. *goes shopping*

I was suddenly lifted--nay, catapulted--from the doldrums of my workaday morning earlier as I first laid eyes on this awesome upgraded site. WOW!!

We are certainly not worthy of such wonders, but that’s been true all along, yeah? Now it’s even more true. It’s the little things that keep me going…

As desperately as I want to, there’s nothing witty I can respond to this with.

I’ll just settle with a hearty “YOUR MOM SMELLS LIKE SHOES” and leave it at that.

Darn. Score one for Tim!

Hasn’t anyone told you?  You cannot make German beer by squishing sauerkraut with your feet in a beer barrel!  I, too, learned this the hard way.


Posted by secondthought on 08/24 at 11:52 AM

I’m so excited. I want to have smelly shoes, too, just like yours. You should offer them in the shop.


Posted by Miss Inglink on 08/24 at 12:58 PM

I’m too happy to type, despite all the evidence to the contary!!

Tim, with your Most Excellent powers, you can update this incredibly sexy new website from anywhere. If you even think, it will update. I’d try it, but my awesomeness is about zip compared to yours.

Not that it CAN be compared to yours.

Double Fine Action News. Sniffing out the hottest news!

Baron Von Stinkefüt strikes again.

Damn you Baron! Damn you!


Posted by Kitty on 08/24 at 04:21 PM

It IS incredibly sexy. Maybe even sexier than ME (nah).


Posted by Rotated8 on 08/24 at 04:40 PM

There are some who call you… Tim? Well, Tim, stop taunting us with such brief updates! We crave more!


Posted by khepra on 08/24 at 04:57 PM

I don’t think it worked.  I think you have to post from an incredibly sexy new hotel room…

or perhaps with incredibly sexy new feet…

Isn’t a new site redesign like the second to last thing a game developer does before their newest game goes gold?  Yeah I think thats it.

Well they update the site, then announce it in a foreign country.  Then release the next week.

Right?

I actually lost a pair of discount track shoes in Germany, as they were sucked into the mud flats of Ostfriesland (srsly).  In 10,000 years they will be discovered as part of the geologic record, and everyone in the future will know what terrible taste in footwear I had.  I do not miss the future. :-[

I read about your talk. Nice going. Why didn’t I get an invite? I’m telling your mom.


Posted by totally_not_a_fake_person on 08/25 at 01:24 AM

Hey, have you got an audio recording of your speech, because if you do, please post it!


Posted by Tom on 08/25 at 12:31 PM

Germany? Gott Mittuns?


Posted by Miss_Mayhem on 08/25 at 02:29 PM

Site redesigns are like a new haircut. No, not those haircuts you get after you get gum tangled in your locks, or when your highlights go awry because your hairdresser was too lost in her self-indulgent musings and/or hung-over. It’s like those haircuts you get before going back to school, or like when you suddenly stop showing up to work and stop paying the rent so you can start anew as a sassy but classy clerk at a TacoBell in Wyoming with a mysterious, illustrious past.

Yeah. It’s like that. It means something shiney and awesome and new will go down soon enough. AMIRITE?

Look at you with your fancy php.  Obviously this means updates will be coming more often now, right?

Boy. The keynote was secured like a german junk yard and me and a collegue hypnotized the security staff for over one hour until we were able to sneak in.

My brain just turned off that very moment i entered the room and since this point on, I didn’t have any sense of time or body-operation. I awoke in a frightning situation actually shaking his hand and instead of slipping on my prepared bunny suite - i guess, i must have asked him the most stupid question coming to my (not)-mind. He thought, he looked and he said: “Awesome” before turning over and dashing me back to my pityful life against the security guards.

Pretty awesome.

I tried to call him back from the telephone booth next to the Sam & Max Desoto but was only able to reach someone named Ron Gilbert.

Woot!  Comment ability, finally!

The new website looks awesome. :D


Posted by InvaderBlack on 08/26 at 07:36 PM

This new website smells worse in Germany. On opposite day.


Posted by Dom on 08/28 at 12:47 PM

The smell depends, Mr. Schafer, it depends on the location of the hotel!
