Getting to that age where people make fun of the Rob Lowe poster hanging over your bed? Even your own wife wants you to take it down? Well, now you don’t have to. Just cover it up with this amazing STACKING POSTER! Stacking had approximately five million characters in it. Or maybe ten million. I can’t remember. Anyway, it’s enough to fill up a knickknack shelf, and that’s just what we’ve done for you here. Lee Petty, Stacking’s creator, wanted us to make this poster scratch ‘n’ sniff, and even offered to contribute many of the smells himself. We’re not going to do that, but we didn’t tell him, so he’s in the back conference room, filling tiny bottles with lord knows what. Ha ha.
Eyw.

Anyway, buy this poster!

Or buy it SIGNED by Lee Petty his own self!

Or be one of the first five people to comment on this post and get a FREE SIGNED POSTER!!!

Yeah, you heard me.

Do you remember that time back in 2004 when the Game Developer’s Conference was in San Jose and I was walking down the street and stumbled into the well-known Marek Bronstring walking with a young fellow in a Full Throttle T-shirt? Oh, wait, you weren’t there? Well good thing I took a picture!

“There’s something I like about that young man,” I said, assuming it was just his awesome, limited edition T-Shirt.

Then we initiated a Volunteer Tester Army to help us get Psychonauts out the door, and guess who showed up? CHRIS REMO. I welcomed him to Double Fine in the traditional way of my people.

“I love this game,” he said, “But this last level should be harder, and the kid should scream more about his face!” I knew this guy had the magic touch, and so I briefly renamed the Double Fine Action news after him.

Alas, Chris Remo then burrowed back underground and dissapeared for six years, like a cicada. Sleeping, and chirping, and growing and podcasting. Until finally, driven by a mysterious, primal instinct, he dug his way back up to the surface again. Slowly, he made his way back into the offices of Double Fine—navigating by the stars or magnetic fields, scientists do not know exactly. But he returned.

And guess what? We finally hired him for real!

Chris Remo is now Double Fine’s official COMMUNITY MANAGER!!!

Hear that, unmanaged Double Fine community? You’re about to be managed into a whole new dimention of gaming satisfaction. Your problems? Managed. Your fears? Managed. Your hopes, dreams, expectations, aspirations, rants, questions, Screamwagon videos, slash fiction, bloody Christmastree ornaments, WWI Haiku, Halloween Costume Polaroids, and erotic nesting doll art?

        M A N A G E D !

I have to tell you, it was extremely fun to hire Chris after all these years.

But then we decided to make him the fall guy for some videos that leaked out. Sorry, Chris! Rules of seniority and all that.

So long, Chris Remo. Good luck underground! See you in six years!

What was that amazing Double Fine t-shirt the team was wearing all throughout our live stream the other week? With the simple 2hb logo in bright green on a black shirt, or orange on a gray shirt? What was it and how can I buy one immediately? Are these questions you or someone you love has asked?
I hope you did, because the answer is AWESOME:

If you are reading this part then you went too far. The awesome answer was above.

Raised on Kickstarter: $3,336,371
Premium Backers: $110,000
Total raised for Double Fine’s Kickstarter Adventure: $3,446,371!!!!!!!

Holy cow people, I can’t even believe it. I don’t know what to say. Except THANK YOU!! People are mailing in congratulations to us, but I really have to say congratulations to all the backers because you really sent a message around the industry! And you really made your voices heard loud and clear!

We’ll put up more information soon about what the next steps are. There are some things we have to wait for—The whole kickstarter/amazon machinery still has to grind and churn for another week or so. Then backer forums will be set up and we’ll be sending out surveys to get everyone’s mailing addresses, etc.

We will do a video update to the backers tomorrow with more information! For now there’s nothing to do but sit back and marvel at what a bunch of regular people can accomplish if they get organized!

Love bomb!
Ka-bloooxxoxoxoxoxoxoxooo!

Try not to be distracted by my hair in this video, because if you think about it too much you’ll realize that it’s wet, and you’ll then realize that’s probably because I had recently emerged from the shower, and then you’ll just be thinking about me naked the whole time you’re watching and you won’t learn anything!

If you want more info or have info to share about credit card-less backing of our kickstarter, please contribute to this awesome forum thread!
