Video gaming's best known funny men are back together again under one roof, having a "hell of a lot of fun," making jokes and, perhaps, even developing a game or two.
Ron Gilbert, known best for his work on the first two Monkey Island games, Maniac Mansion and this summer's DeathSpank, officially started work at Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions last week, though Gilbert says he's still not getting paid.
Interviewing the two is like falling helplessly into a comedy skit as the straight man; every question becomes a launch pad for a routine, every answer needs to be verified with a "This isn't a joke, right?"
Interview: Storied designer talks lost RPG, a 3D Monkey Island, “Eat the Rich” philosophy.
Ron Gilbert says: "If I'm going to do another adventure game, I want it to be a really interesting and unique and different game"
Double Fine Productions has teased the next Time Schafer game in the latest episode of PsychOdyssey on YouTube.
