I cannot reveal what secret sources I used to obtain these screenshots from the upcoming game:
From the Tycho portion of the game:

From the Gabe portion:

- Sources report that the final end-game boss for Tycho requires you to write a palindromic haiku. (If you’re playing on hard, it must be in French.)
- The ending for Gabe involves using a baseball bat to procure a Pac-Man wristwatch from Tycho.
Grand Theft Auto Retrospective
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
Self-Balancing Gameplay
There's a wonderful way to balance difficulty in RPGs, and designers try to prevent it. For some reason.
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
Internet News is All Wrong
Why is internet news so bad, why do people prefer celebrity fluff, and how could it be made better?
The Truth About Piracy
What are publishers doing to fight piracy and why is it all wrong?

Hey SCUMM, long time no see!
Oh yeah. This game’s a keeper. I wants a copy.
Hehe… Good old Lucas Arts style adventure. :) What happened to this genre lately? I can’t really think of a single recent game that could compare in the level of campy wackiness, and humor to the titles such as Monkey Island series, or Sam & Max.
Ah… SCUMM.
Might want to check the spelling on the Tycho section, though…
Hm. “In Jest” or Ingest?
If this is really what the game is going to be like, it’s bound to me the most frustrating game since Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I can’t wait!
Shamus, I think I will have nightmares about writing a palindromic haiku in French.
Thank you so much.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Spelling of “injest” and “villify” fixed.
I ran that crap through a spell checker and everything. Then I cut & pasted the text into PSP. How in the heck did I manage to butcher those two words during a copy & paste?!
Man, if there is a way to misspell something, I will find it.
Ask me about LOOM!
I really loved the Monkey Island Series (with the exception of the last installment. They switched from the SCUMM 2D engine to the Grim Fandango 3D engine. It was an instant turnoff for me.)
Can’t wait to play this game !
The descriptions for the images are inverted…
I think someone was playing Maniac Mansion recently.
Your mother is a duck.
Do we really need four different synonyms for ‘put down’, though? I know it’s Penny Arcade, but 2 or 3 at most, I would say.
