    "First we need some speaker wire and a Tesla coil..."
    EA and Double Fine dropped a note today letting the world know that Brutal Legend will be headbanging its way onto retail shelves on October 13 in North America, which I can tell you by using my amazing predictive powers (read: desktop calendar) is a typical release Tuesday, not the rarer and ominous release Friday variety. The game will follow along in Europe three days later.

    The press release also included a quote from Double Fine mastermind Tim Schafer, and we would be remiss not to pass that along to you.

    "Wooo! Having an official release date is awesome!” said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. “And how cool is it that EA threw down the dough to have the name of an entire month changed to Rocktober?"

    The fevered development leading up to that release date may be somewhat less awesome, but based on the way the game is looking so far, I'm hopeful all that toil will be worth it.

    This sounds like a nice release date as I can't think of anything coming out that day but that will probably change.  Anyway, nice to see it has a release date now and I want a demo.

    I was hoping for a special edition with something cool like a replica belt buckle.

    Dude. 2 Days after my B-Day. Jeff should buy this for me. Just sayin.

    Psyched for the game though. Seriously looks awesome, hopefully Black isn't obnoxious. Sometimes he's great, sometimes I wanna punch him. But I hear is actualy quite good in this, so I'll hope.

    Sweet, right after my birthday. Finally, a good release date with much less competition for such a game.

    Seems kind of risky putting out a new IP during the fall rush when a ton of powerhouse franchises will be hitting the streets. They did the same thing last year with Mirror's Edge and Dead Space, and if I remember correctly, they didn't sell so well over the holiday season. Whatever. At this rate I'm happy it has a release date at all.

    Oh man, I remember reading about this game from a GameInformer mag like two years ago.

    Jesus, at least they're releasing the thing.
