I know it's a bit unrelated, but, I wish they'd make a brutal legend 2, I loved the first game except for (what I expect was) heavily unpolished rts sections, they got frigging annoying
My respect for Notch just upped a bit.

It makes it a one-shot wonder where the people making it end up unable to sell it beyond the initial release.
Wait a second, people actually think Notch was serious?
If this goes through I'll forgive Notch for all of the vacations and I'll run my mouth in his favor at all times.
[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;34587372]Wait a second, people actually think Notch was serious?[/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/OD4OE.png[/img] Yes.
Fuck me sideways.
I'll believe it when it it happens.
[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;34587384]Fuck me sideways.[/QUOTE] Yes I assume scotsmen like that.
Sweet.
If this happens, I'll forgive Notch for his poor handling of Minecraft.
This isn't something you tease about. If Notch is fucking around there will be hell to pay.

If Notch will actually do this then he'll redeem himself in my eyes.
This has to be the best gaming-related news I've heard in years. But with the hype sadly also comes the possibility of fatal disappointment. v:v:v But still, Psychonauts 1 had a sequel hook and one of the old devs would be onboard, so it's not like there's bad omens on the horizon already.
as long as notch doesn't get too much of a hand in it it's great
If Notch really means it, Respect++ I loved Psychonauts.
[quote=Notch]“I don’t want to work for Valve,” he explained as we walked back to the office. “I want to be Valve.”[/quote] this reminded me of this ([url="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/07/a-day-in-the-life-of-minecraft-creator-mojang/"]source[/url])
[QUOTE=Jack Trades;34587601]If Notch will actually do this then he'll redeem himself in my eyes.[/QUOTE] Haha no.
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;34587629]as long as notch doesn't get too much of a hand in it it's great[/QUOTE] Surely he's just going to throw money at them and let them get to it.
I have a bad feeling about this
[QUOTE=markg06;34587667]Surely he's just going to throw money at them and let them get to it.[/QUOTE] that's what i'm hoping, but you never know

Oh man, I really hope Double Fine accepts. As long as Notch doesn't work on the game and only funds it, I'm alright.
As long as notch [b]STAYS THE FUCK OUT[/b] of development, it should be all good.
Two posts up mate. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] And yeah he is.
[QUOTE=geogzm;34588348]As long as notch [b]STAYS THE FUCK OUT[/b] of development, it should be all good.[/QUOTE]2 posts above yours, he's made that blatantly clear. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] ninja'd again :c
And then, just before he hands over the Cheque, Notch goes on Vacation.
If this happens I will explode with joy.
