--- title: GOTTA PUT TWO NOTCHES IN THEM HOOVES IF YOU WANT TO DO IT RIGHT date: 2005-01-08T18:48:00-08:00 author: Tim Schafer canonical_url: "https://www.doublefine.com/news/gotta-put-two-notches-in-them-hooves-if-you-want-to-do-it-right" section: News --- # GOTTA PUT TWO NOTCHES IN THEM HOOVES IF YOU WANT TO DO IT RIGHT January 8th 2005 So, I try to follow my new year’s resolution and post to this here high-profile, opinion-setting, internet destination every day, and now I’m getting complaints that the news items have no meaty Psychonauts news in them. Sheesh! People! You just can’t please people with the internet! And you can’t kill people with the internet either. One or the other would solve all my problems. If you want real news go to www.psychonauts.com for crying out loud! They spend money on that site! Or go to this [secret destination](http://www.zombo.com/ "Secret destination") to hear more information. It’s 1:30 in the morning, so I’m going to have to date this post as Saturday, but really it’s still our Friday work day here at Double Fine. This day is stretching out to infinity, because we are trying to make a build of this game about which I offer no news. Making a build of The Excellent Game Psychonauts is hard. It’s like catching a beautiful, wild stallion, that’s running free across the verdant hillside, throwing a scratchy rope around its neck and golden mane, whispering in its ear to soothe its fierce thrashing, petting its nose until it settles down, and then lifting it with a big crane into a vat of bleach because it’s covered with hundreds and hundreds of bugs. And then eating it and selling the hooves as ashtrays. That’s what making a game is like. --- ## Tags [psychonauts](https://www.doublefine.com/search/tag/psychonauts) --- ## Associated games [Psychonauts](https://www.doublefine.com/games/psychonauts "Psychonauts") --- ## Related news [Back on wax: Psychonauts July 24th 2025 ](https://www.doublefine.com/news/back-on-wax-psychonauts) [The Most Excellent Zine July 11th 2025 ](https://www.doublefine.com/news/the-most-excellent-zine) [Inspirational!
