"No one's ever made a bong in the shape of a game designer."
-Tim Schafer
We could give you some more context here, but we're pretty sure it speaks for itself.

Personally, I loved these 2 phrases:
"The other day I was swimming and a man waved and me and yelled but I couldn't hear him. And then a shark came and bit off my arm. That's when I learned the importance of audio"
"Downloadable games come into your house through the walls, just like ghosts. They entertain you but you can't touch them, much like strippers. And when they're smaller games, they must be more creative, like short strippers"
Schafer never disappoints!

God, he looks exactly like he did in that point-and-click game yesterday. Right down to the clothes.

I rolled a joint that looked like Major Nelson once. Does that count?

A bong shaped like Gabe Newell? That would FUCK YOU UP.

I think they'd have to call it the Zweihander, someone else would have to light it for you. When you were done smoking, you'd break out in a sweat and gravy spots would appear on your bright orange shirt.
