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...

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.
totally awesome
So... it's official? Remixor has no neck?
(http://forums.adventuregamers.com/images/smilies/shifty.gif)
you look a lot less scary than in your avatar....
;)
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.
Man, you must know everyone!
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 know a certain Irish girl who's gonna be very jealous when she sees that pic.

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...
Yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw the topic title.
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... :)
who's Tim Schafer?
I'm not kidding.. who's Tim Schafer?
C.
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?
McFarlane did Spawn.
Lead artist for Curse of MI, if I'm not mistaken.
I'm probably mistaken.
Wasn't Tim Schafer one of the Oompa-Loompas in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?
Well isn't that a pleasent suprise. Tim stalks Remixor!
Hes not the only one...
/me steps back into the bushes outside Remixors house...
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.
No, he's not fat. He's not slender by any means, just...solid, I guess.
QuoteWho iz dat Tim SHaefeur ?!!!?111!!?
Lol, you guys are so uneducated, and you crack me up.
Tim Shafeur is the guy who scripted the SCUMM engine, next to Ron Conrad...

If Yufster is Ali then who the hell am I?

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, does is he a doppelganger of Tom Arnold or is that just the picture?

Well, I dont know about you, but I'm the Queen of France.
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.
Woah, the website design has changed!!!

You're not fooling anyone.
Yeah, you just know shes about to explode with Yufster-like psychoticness... :P

TODD McFarlane - SPAWN
Schafer designed games for LucasArts, "Day Of The Tentacle"
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.
Chris Remo is kind of hot.
Ah, vanitas vanitatum!
Remixor, I have never noticed how goodlooking you are before. Perhaps you would like to come over to my place for a quiet, romantic candlelit dinner, followed by some sex?
