Will there be a tutorial on how to "rock up"? I've only ever "rocked out" =(

First-day purchase for me. I'll buy anything with Tim Schafer's name on it

Oh, and Ludwig - you misspelled Tim Schafer (Forgot the "C"). Couldn't resist.

The same goes to me. Tim Schafer = sure laughs. I've been a fan of his since his 90s pc adventures. So bring it on!

Wow, I am struck with a sense of foreboding. October seems awfully close to the holiday rush for a title such as this. Perhaps video game companies are doomed to repeat the past endlessly. Perhaps they are betting on Jack Black's brand power to help this game stand out from what is sure to be a crowd, just like every other year.

Don't get me wrong, I am excited for this game, but I don't think it's something that is on the general public's radar, and therefore could easily get passed over for more established games (read: sequels to blockbuster franchises). Unless, god forbid, EA actually markets the game, with TV spots and such. Still, seems like even September would have been a safer launch time.

Great! I hate metal music, but I love Schafer. And this game just sounds so interesting. Definitely will buy.

I play so few new games anymore I have to chose which ones we get carefully. I'm not exactly what one would call a metal fan, and there probably wouldn't be a single Jack Black film in my top 100... Brutal Legend still makes it on the get list no questions asked. Can't wait!

"We"? Is this some sort of split personality deal?

"Parallel sentence collision detection gone awry."

Best sentence on Joystiq this week.

I fall into using the royal "we" sometimes because I spend a signficant portion of my day writing customer service emails, writing as "we the company". Some days it bleeds back into my normal writing.

I thought it was slated for the summer? I'm disappointed, but after seeing the word "Rocktober", there is obviously no other month this should come out. Let's hope it doesn't get buried.

"Though that one Nazi at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark would have you believe otherwise, having your face melted off by a supernatural display of awesome power is probably one of the best things that could ever happen to you."

Okay, I know it's not really kosher, but I'll risk a little self-promotion here since it's relevant to the topic.

Over at pxielsandgrids.com we're doing a little thing we're calling 'The Year of the Schafer', where every month up until Brutal Legend drops we're playing through a game from his catalog and discussing it at length on our podcast. Kind of a spoiler-heavy recap of all of his work to get everyone pumped for the game's release.

We'll be discussing 'The Secret of Monkey Island' at the beginning of May.

Just thought I'd mention it since there's a lot of Schafer fans hanging around here.

Can't wait to rock in Rocktober!!!!

As a PCWii gamer, I'm gonna have to figure out how to play this in the near future. Tim Schafer is made of win.
