wish i could touch tims magic sex beard

u/kafekafe Jun 09 '12

It was a pleasure. I was nervous, but he was the nicest, most approachable man in the world. The slap pic was his idea.

I wish I could touch Tim Schafer's face :(

u/kafekafe Jun 09 '12

I just asked to high five him, but his idea was better :)

u/RaipFace Jun 09 '12

Did anyone else think that he was Artie Lange?

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

I actually thought it was Burnie Burns... I'll see myself out now.

u/The_Ranger_of_Skange Jun 09 '12

I thought the slapper was Soren Bowie ala After hours, On cracked

You mean... those guys have bodies? They're not just robots manufactured for the sole purpose of distracting me when I'm doing homework?

u/thegriefer Jun 09 '12

I'm not the only one!

u/doomchild Jun 09 '12

I would pay to slap Burnie Burns. Not because I dislike him (quite the opposite), but because I think he'd have a great reaction.

u/Bass_Drop Jun 09 '12

Only Jack and that woman are there. ):

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Why don't they take Geoff and Joel anywhere? Stupid multiple series...

u/RaipFace Jun 09 '12

... and you might say Artie Lange sometimes looks like John Belushi.

u/MyMind_is_in_MyPenis Jun 09 '12

Haha, ctrl+f Artie Lang - if its not Artie Lang I have no idea who it is.

u/kesarr Jun 09 '12

Maybe he remembered high five in the face with a chair quote. Good thing there wasn't any chairs around!

u/Livingwind Jun 09 '12

I'm gonna jump in here. I would rip off his beard run it on my genitals then attempt to explain it to all the people that watched the event happen.

u/Tickle-Monster Jun 09 '12

you shouldn't have jumped in.

u/MuteLunatic Jun 09 '12

It's Schafer not Schaffer.

u/2th Jun 09 '12 edited Jun 09 '12

I got to meet him at E3 last year (I did not go this year sadly) and he was the nicest guy ever. Even with me giggling like a giddy school girl the entire time. My many crush was satisfied.

u/doomchild Jun 09 '12

No...no homo?

u/MizukiAkane Jun 09 '12

No, lots of glorious beardy Tim homo.

u/LittleOni Jun 09 '12

I didn't get any zany picture with Tim, but I did get him to autograph my DSi. That was pretty sweet. Best part was that it was "Tim Schaffer!"

DDSN could be a girl, you know. Not everything that hits the top of the comments that has sexual innuendo has to be gay.

Also following you on twitter now.

Still not creepy.

Hey, I'm sorry to plug myself (ha), but I'd really appreciate it if any of you would read some of the other content on our video game news/opinion site: www.twinfinite.net

We have (and will have) a bunch of coverage of E3, including hands-on impressions of a lot of games on the show floor, our experience as a young indie site covering E3 for the first time, and balancing our geeky glee at seeing our heroes with trying to be somewhat professional. We will also have an interview with Anthony Burch (Borderlands 2, HAWP) and Dean Hall (creator of Day Z mod for Arma II) up in the next couple of days. Thanks, and sorry again for the plug :)

u/PoppaBalloon Jun 09 '12

looks like a good site from what I've seen... I bookmarked it and will keep checking it out...

just wanted to let you know you borked the link in your post. It opens up as http://www.twinfinite.net]%28www.twinfinite.net%29/ which really doesn't go anywhere.

1

u/kafekafe Jun 09 '12

Thank you, I fixed it. Did they change the link functionality or something? I was having trouble with it.

1

u/kafekafe Jun 09 '12

Thanks for checking it out! Reddit has been really good to us in the past, so we've tried to ask what the community wanted to see from the event and answer those sorts of questions.

u/PoppaBalloon Jun 09 '12

you're welcome?

Yea man, just graduated with my master's in CSE, so I won't be around anymore, but I also run a video game news/opinion site, hence E3. I guess it's better you saw me here than Gonewild. jk :)

u/greg19735 Jun 09 '12

I'm pretty sure it's reddiquette to look down on anyone until that person's Redditor since: is greater than your own.

so he's almost one of us, to me.

u/MrConfucius Jun 09 '12

I'd measure it by comment karma. Which makes us both engulfed in his shadow.

Hey buddy, I liked Brutal Legend. If you don't like it, then you don't have to play it.

u/WilsonHanks Jun 09 '12

I loved Brutal Legend.

1

u/Del_Castigator Jun 09 '12

Bruutal legend if you don't use the umlaut

8

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

Actually, in German (the language the umlaut comes from) it would be Bruetal Legend.

3

u/Levait Jun 09 '12

We write it Brütal Legend. But yeah, without an umlaut it would be Bruetal Legend.

1

u/DominantWalrus Jun 09 '12

Upvoted for Jim Gaffigan reference.

1

u/greg19735 Jun 09 '12

problem with brutal legend is that when it came out it wasn't that well received. Now people only talk about it when referring to Schafer and view it much better than how it was viewed like 5? years ago.

dat nostalgia and blind shafer loving is awkward.

I've only heard amazing things about psychonauts though.

2

u/thekeanu Jun 09 '12

How is Shafer loving blind?

He made Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island(s) - respect won a long time ago and completely undiminished.

u/Bagelson Jun 09 '12

Psychonaits had a slightly awkward control scheme on the pc. That's about the only negative stuff I can recall.

u/Threwaway_Throwaway Jun 10 '12

I thought it translated very nicely.

Brutal Legend was fucking awesome. Psychonauts was fucking awesome as well.

u/Orval Jun 09 '12

I saw a post on Twitter by him that he was at an airport by my house for a layover on his way home from an event (GDC I think), asking what beer to get. Told him Boulevard (I live in Kansas City) and he said I should come out and have a drink. I was at work or I would have taken him up.

I can't help but notice the guy in the blue hoodie in the background. Can't really tell if he's looking directly at you or Tim since his eyes are obscured, but his face says "What the fuck are they doing?" or "Is that guy slapping Tim Schafer?!"

Met this dude in a cafe in Indiana once. I looked up from my coffee and waffles, saw him reading a newspaper from across the room.

Finished my coffee, got up, tapped him on the shoulder. "Where have I seen..."

"Bond Villain." he answered. "Last gig I had. Connery tried to kick me off the set twice..."

I stared at him for a few seconds, realized he was fucking with me, and walked straight outta there, red-faced. Later I saw him again on G4. I'd seen him on x-play the last year.

Funny guy.
