Oh Gods Of Gaming

I IMPLORE you.  Please, please, PLEASE, don’t let Tim Schafer’s latest upcoming game, Brutal Legend tank the way Psychonauts did.  We need this man to succeed.  We need these games to counter the flood of me-too first person shooters.  WE NEED GAMES THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOOD, DAMMIT.  I can’t remember the last time a trailer for a game got me this excited, but I was whooping with joy when I saw this:
