A Band Reunited

Although the direction of LucasArts has taken an abrupt change of direction, possibly shattering my hopes for an adventure game renaissance, Tim Schafer quietly picked up those tiny shards and crazy-glued them back together with the announcement that he is teaming up with Ron Gilbert on a new game!

What will it be?  As any bigshot company will tell you, not very much.  However, Mr. Gilbert dangles this most delicious carrot at my muzzle:

"Fans of those old adventure games will like it."

While they haven't announced a publisher, I'm going all in with Telltale.  As I've suggested before, a teamup of the original adventure game rockstars will create an Übermensch capable of laying waste to all the generic space marines and pendulous spellcasters of the industry, paving the road to a gaming nirvana, free from the criticism of politicians and mainstream media.

Well...at least I'll be happy.
