Default The Historical Record of Tim Schafer

Gamespot are running a Video Game History Month over at their site and of note to anyone with good taste should be this 22 minute look at Tim Schafer's story of rising through the ranks of game development. Presented by the badass geek himself...

If for some reason you can't view the video on your media doohickey of choice, then why not try this YouTube link free of charge...

That was pretty funny, and am I the only one who is reminded of Bill Murray when they look at Tim?

I'm not seeing it myself. In terms of looks and voice he reminds me more of Jack Black, which is quite apt considering Brutal Legend.


Jack Black, the famous games developer.


Tim Schafer, the famous movie star.


Jack Black playing Tim Schafer as Eddie.

I really liked the mouse cursor gag in the video. I'm for ever tracing characters mouths and eyes whilst they talk, during adventure games.
