So, yeah. Sup. How you be? I be good. I like the videogames. They are pretty cool. You played the Rock Band? I like the Rock Band. I sing "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis on expert. It's pretty epic. I like to write articles and stuff. You'll see them around on the internets. I also like school. I read British Romanticism and write a lot of essays. It's all good, cause in the San Francisco Bay Area, you meet a lot of people with even lamer educational skills, so it's cool.
I have a pet bird. His name is Merry, and when I see him, he runs to me like a puppy dog and sits on my knee. This makes us both sleepy, so we take naps.
Also, I think chickens are amazing (don't ask why), so I'm just going to post a bunch of chicken pics here now. kthxbai.
Also, he's me shaking hands with a monkey in Santa Monica

"Which game are you the most proud of? No cop-out answers like "all of them" or "Well, of course Brutal Legend which is coming out this Rocktober to next gen consoles!"
Which one are the most proud of the work you did and why. What did YOU like about it?
Bonus question, How many wolves have to die for me to get a job at DoubleFine?
This man is a fucking genius.
or
When you are in the midst of doing creative things at work or for leisure, do you have music on? If so, what is usually being played? Did that have any influence while making Brutal Legend?
You can pick whatever you want. I won't spam your blog with angry messages if you pick the bottom one as far as you know.
Have a good time!
Why do most sites take the ¨ out of Brütal Legend?
Do you use electric shavers or good ones?
Will you ever do a 2D game again?
Do you have any plans of making another point-n-click adventure game?
Is there any chance of downloadable titles from Double Fine appearing in a near future?
Will you use the guitar + battle axe combination the whole game or there will be even more weaponry?
Oh, of course hunnybunch ;)
To even up the odds, the bear would have a rebreather like in Star Wars and a laser gun if it is fought underwater, or the shark would have lungs, a trenchcoat, and dual uzi's if it were fought on land.
Gary Busey is the wild card in both of these fights. If Gary Busey became involved in the fight, who would he help to win? Or would he kill them both by pulling their endocrine system out of their body and claiming the victory for himself.
We know you've worked in many different styles (point-and-click, platformer, and now rock-and-roll-adventure-action-with-some-Pikminesque-elements), but are there any genres or game types you have no interest in?
Seriously though... I would ask him "What the hell is your problem? Look at yourself."
Have you had any ideas for a game's story/mechanics that you felt were just too crazy, even by your standards? If so, what were some of these ideas that will never see the light of day?
btw I'm jealous of you Ben :)
Also, what is the ratio of classic metal to to more modern day metal featured in Brütal Legend?
@Naim
An ¨ does change the sound. Ask Arnold Schwarzenegger pronounce Brutal and Brütal. You'll see. Or hear rather.
The freedom in making NES games in the late 80s early 90s must be completely different in the freedom that is in making games these days. How does he view his demographic/target audience differently now versus then? Have expectations changed? How so? Does he feel that the internet as a medium of expression has affected the way we make games? He would know.
God damn I am jealous of you meeting this man.
Or you could just take the direct route and ask him WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DRUG IS HE ON!?!? IS IT HIMSELF!?! IS IT HIS HAIR!?!?
That's a question I really want to be answered by him. I'm curious about that too.
Fixed.
Do you plan on making any more adventure games? What do you think will be the future of adventure gaming? What are the chances of you working with Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman again?
