THREE TIMES THE TEST

Can I, amazingly, update this amazing new news page from a BERLIN AIRPORT? Seconds before I board?
Achtung!!!
I mean, “Da!”

German airports have the most pleasant-sounding metal detectors in the world. As the wand passes over your body the sound rises and falls, as if it were whistling appreciatively at your form. It’s like being seduced by R2D2.

Amazing.

How would you know what it’s like to be seduced by R2D2… uh, nevermind. I probably don’t want to know.

Ah, every star wars fan’s fantasy: German metal detectors ...

Did u have any concealed knives?

Well, I guess that’s better than getting felt up by some C3P0-like security guard making beep sounds from his mouth, ‘cause that’d just be creepy.

Happy traveling Tim. May the force be with you?

I guess it’s safe to say that the sexy new site is sexy around the world.

How do you travel so fast?


Posted by Miss_Mayhem on 08/27 at 11:14 AM

Wow, sounds sexy. Who doesn’t want to be hit on by R2D2???


Posted by cubism on 08/27 at 11:15 AM

Oh, what’s it like being seduced be R2D2? I’ve always wanted to know.

I’d assume the wierdest part of the experience would be C-3PO tagging along to translate.

Taking over the world, one airport at a time.  That’s our Tim Schafer.

Are you doing these updates with a laptop, or are you one of those Blackberry type of people?

This may sound odd, but last night I had a rather vivid dream that the real reason you were in Europe was that you were leaving Double Fine for the opportunity to spend the rest of your life working on a tribute in writing to the late polish author Stanislaw Lem, who asked for you and another writer specifically on his death bed.

While I’m sure your writing would serve his legacy well, I was happy to discover upon waking that this was indeed false and that I could look forward to a future of well written video games.

::wipes sweat from brow::
Thank heaven!

Don’t you mean “Ja”, Tim? That it, unless the Commies have retaken East Berlin again. My God… have they? Are you able to talk freely? Quick, blink twice if you’ve been taken captive by a secret underground cabal of Communist war criminals trying to reclaim Berlin for Mother Russia. Blink three times if you’ve gone back in time to 1963. Don’t worry Tim, we’ll save you!

Er, R2D2? No thanks. That’s creepy.

This new website is sexy enough to be seduced by R2D2 in a German airport.


Posted by Dom on 08/28 at 12:58 PM

I’d like to be seduced by R2D2 in a German airport…

...more or less.


Posted by Lena on 08/28 at 01:00 PM

So that’s why there was no Double Fine love at PAX, you guys were busy making a website that didn’t look like a geocities throwback!  But Mr. Tim, if you read this, send a cookie bouquet to the guys at Telltale games.  The audience at one of their panels kept asking them to make sequels to your old adventure games.  I think they need a hug.

Sexy metal detectors, eh? I needs to get me some of that.

I thought all airports use this R2D2 stuff?

Bests from Berlin

it beats being seduced by the dark side. You could end up half machine and sounding like James Earl Jones!


Posted by nadir on 08/29 at 10:31 AM

actually sounding like James Earl Jones would be cool… and being half machine may have benifits… but it’s the dark side… so it’s bad!


Posted by uselesstomato on 08/29 at 12:27 PM

it has been my dream to be seduced by R2D2, sadly, i’ve only ever been seduced by a coca cola machine.

and well… i’d rather not talk about it.

Yeah, we read this space news page for since we can remember and now it’s decided that our voices be heard as well? Into range. Bad move, I say, if they decide it for the dolphins. Good move, I say, hiding my motives. Here are the gifts, here is the urchin. We rearrange me into two and find we don’t know what, and if we don’t do it and seaweed from zoomas who believe they can answer your cries with some more words of similar agenda will cease to exist, once they stop dancing. I would be tempted by the latter. Though it is occupied by the forces of weakness that rise every single impossible model to flattering, this cell only represents one of the many who would throw a better look upon things in the orange days.


Posted by Hermit on 08/30 at 05:08 PM

I know those words but they just don’t go together like that…
