Title: Tim Schafer and me
Post by: remixor on Fri 09/04/2004 13:32:43
You'll likely have seen this if you keep up with the Double Fine Action News (http://www.doublefine.com/news.htm), but if you haven't I wouldn't want to be deprived of a bit of gloating...

(http://www.doublefine.com/news%20images/marekNremio.jpg)

The guy on the left is Marek from Adventure Gamers (http://www.adventuregamers.com/), the guy in the middle is me, and the guy on the right is of course Tim Schafer.

This pic is from Double Fine's March 28 (http://www.doublefine.com/news.htm#28March2004) news post, which is awesome due to Tim complimenting my shirt and referring to me as a "handsome devil."

Tim took the picture with his cell phone camera in the middle of the night, which may help to explain our zombie-like skin.

Well, it has come to my attention that some people have automatically assumed I'm some sort of asshole just based on my avatar (I'm actually an asshole for totally different reasons, of course), so Jake from Mixnmojo (http://www.mixnmojo.com/) took some happier pics of me a couple weeks ago and as soon as the lazy bastard uploads them from his camera I'll create a new and friendlier avatar.

I kinda like your avatar, you look like an Igor, as I once said to you.

It's curious the avatar thingie! I remember and I mentioned it before that Darth Mandarb's fist avatar was kinda ugly and many people was reluctant about him...

It also happens with remixor, Sully and some other members I can't remember... the avatar is the presentation, and if it's aggressive or ugly, people (including me) tends to assume that this is an important issue on the personality of that very member...

But I guess that the real presonallity finally successes... it "sprouts"... What I'm not so sure is if a neck can spontaneously "sprout"...   ::)


/me thinks he has  pushed the neck joke too far and thinks if clicking in the "post button"...

I actually thought it was her who started the topic... I was so sure that I didn't ever looked at the author's name... Sorry Remo...

Lets see how many jealousy posts and hate mail you get from our resident yufster :)

Yuf (or her latest alias "Ali") hasn't been posting as much lately for some reason.. we should e-mail this to her.

I saw that picture back when it was posted, but I had no clue it was you Remixor. Why did you wait so long to tell us?

What do people think of mine then? It's an executioner with an axe for christs sakes...

Anyway, I was thinking Yufster is stalking him again. Shes gonna be really pissed when she sees this, or she'll try to get you to introduce her...

Os Ultimo, your avatar, combined with a extremely long nickname that I can't figure out what does it mean and spiced with a silly smiley (specially in combination with an executioner) is another example of what I meant...

But, as said... that's just an initial feeling I fight with, and soon I start to love the "uglied-avatared" like any other member...  :)

I believe he was a LucasArts employee at one time, but i'm not sure.

He did something... I don't know.. I thought he was the guy who did Full Throttle.. Or is that Tim McFarlane? Or is Tim McFarlane the guy who did Spawn? Or am I even spelling his name right? Or should I shut up?

It's a sad day when amateur adventure game authors aren't familiar with a luminary like Tim Schafer (http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId=1365/)...

...I allways expected him to be alot fatter...sorta like a bald Elvis in a robin hood outfit.
Title: Re:Tim Schafer and me
Post by: remixor on Sat 10/04/2004 09:29:34
No, he's not fat.  He's not slender by any means, just...solid, I guess.

Also, it's Todd McFarlane, not Tim; he also recently lost a lengthy court battle (http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/op3.fwx?submit1=showop&caseno=03-1331.PDF) (note: that link leads to a pdf) with Neil Gaiman (http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/journal.asp).

She's on holiday; back middle of next week, IIRC.  In addition, as evidenced here:

Her new alias is not Ali, but 'Ami'.

That was prolly just a typo, but me thought that I'd clear it up nonetheless :)

Remixor... can I touch you? Just on the arm or maybe I could just run my fingers through your Schafer-loved aura. You lucky bastard! ^_^

I wouldn't change your avatar btw. It's awesome! Very psycho Vincent Price. It was a bit of a shock to see what you look like when you're not staring at someone with the eyes of hell though.

And Full Throttle and Grim Fandango.  He was also instrumental in Monkey Island 2 and worked on Secret of Monkey Island.  Ron Gilbert credits many of the series' funnier bits to Schafer.
