netmonkey Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Updates at Double Fine again about this mysterious announcement: brain-teasing clues about The Announcement: 1) It is rad. 2) It is going to be something you can start messing with THIS COMING TUESDAY. 3) It will cost you money. 4) You will not mind. It almost sounds like it's Psychonauts, but that wouldn't be a big announcement. We all know that it's coming out on tuesday, right? right?! Any thoughts?

Metallus Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Someone in the Mojo comments thread suggested it might be the soundtrack. It's a good guess, because that would own. I don't know if it's pants-crapworthy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 "It is going to be something you can start messing with THIS COMING TUESDAY." The "messing with" part wouldn't really go with the soundtrack idea I don't think. Maaaaaaaaybe some sort of level editor for Psychonauts? Doesn't make much more sense either. I'm stumped!

Thrik Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 The promised soundtrack would probably be a good bet, but Gabez's point is valid.. it's really not something you'd use in relation to "mess with". God, I'm stumped too. >: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Tim is contimuing to tease us. ; I have a feeling that the new "clues" are just wind-ups, but I'm a sucker for riddles so I'll pretend that they're genuine for now. Let's see... "Foist celery upon abdomen!" is an anagram of "a be cede film no pun to rosy" Obviously the announcment is a Psychonauts film! Wait a second... that would rock. I hope someone will make that some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkian Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I don't know what it is but i'm sure it's going to change our lives and possibly ....THE WORLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woxel1 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Oh! Oh! Maybe they're going to put out Sam and Max 2! ... IN BIZZARO WORLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Now that would be something worth crapping figurative pants over. Seems like whatever they're working on next will be Multiplayer though. Maybe an online version of Fizzball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nappi Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Maybe they'll just announce that Psychonauts is out there. It is available april 19 isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Now that would be cruel, Nappi. ... Are you Finnish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nappi Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Yes... that would. And yes... I am. I hope that it is something else, but the hints just made me wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counting_pine Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 It is an anagram, I've worked it out:) Do you want to know, or would you rather be surprised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counting_pine Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Sorry, I forgot how much you like surprises:P How about a subtle hint first: "foist celery upon abdomen" contains the words "fine" and "double" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'm an idiot and can't figure it out. Post it under spoiler tags so that those who can't be bothered with solving it on their own can view, it please. What a fine adventure gamer I am. Can't solve one stupid anagram.

Tahnee Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Originally posted by VampireNaomi What a fine adventure gamer I am. Can't solve one stupid anagram. Don't feel bad. Adventure games are one thing, anagrams are another. Well, with "double" and "fine" taken out of the sentence, we're left with: ost cry pon ame Which still gives us a lot of options. Edit: Hah! I think I got it! ...Or maybe I'm just delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counting_pine Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I found some interesting alternatives. Doublefine try some on a PC Doublefine stop on my acre A mercy, Doublefine's on top Doublefine art pony comes Post Doublefine car money This one worries me: Doublefine: No ESP. Cry moat.

Tahnee Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Well, seeing as how this is supposed to be something "rad," I don't see how it could be the last one. For the record, here's what I came up with that made the most sense (although I don't see how it's something we could "mess with"): "foist celery upon abdomen" = DoubleFine company store?

Thrik Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 That last one sounds feasible enough. I'd imagine that said store would contain more than just the presumed hats/cups/shirts merchandise though, considering all of the hype. The soundtrack will almost certainly be on there, and maybe even Psychonauts action figures? Schafer once expressed in an interview that he wouldn't be against the idea of such things.

Gabez Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 If we didn't have the r the m and e and instead had an s, y, h, u, t, and another s then we could have Psychonauts OST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counting_pine Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 TyraaRane, that's the one I got. I wonder if they'll ship to the UK. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who'd buy Doublefine t-shirts/hats/magic pants etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp-30 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Screw the merch, I just want the game - which is still to have any sort of release scheduled for New Zealand. If it is a company store, they'd better ship software internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Seeing that Double Fine doesn't distribute the game, I doubt you'll see them selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkian Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Tim is reading 'The Da Vinci Code', after that, If I had to bet, I would say that none of us can even imagine what Tim is going to announce. I don't want to crap my pants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
