Tim Schafer's money shots

Oh my God I love these so, so much.

This is great.

This is all so very great.

Technically image spam but awesome anyway.

I wish this man was my best friend.

That's awesome!
What's the source of these?

HIRE ORPHANS = CHEAPER.

It's always the small things I appreciate most.

The Scrooge Mc Duck approach to spending money. Classic approach.

fuck this community

Wait a minute, if he had a money tree, then what was the purpose of the whole Kickstarter thing?

What crawled up your arse?

Money, it sure was not.

I can't decide if I like the money tree or bowl of money one better.

Man, Tim Shafer is the best.

@rflx: These images are from the GDC Awards last night. Cliffy B (the host) claims to have reached out to Tim (last year's host) for advice, and this is what he got back. It was a surprisingly great show, I think gamespot is archiving it (you should check it out).

That's why I love that man.

I'm a huge fan of Double Fine, their games (including Brutal Legend), Tim Schaefer and Ron Gilbert (since the early 90s), and great jokes.

However, something turns me off about these shots. I understand the guy's humor and all. Hell, the shot where he's about to smoke a money joint made me laugh out loud, but I dunno... Maybe I'm just having an off-day, but I need to get more of a "humble" vibe or see more about the game before I see stuff like this. Give me a better sense on how you are going to utilize $2.5+ million dollars the masses gave you before you start posting funny pics.

If they already put out a game that raked in a shit-ton of money that's one thing, but this... Like I said, I love the guy, but this doesn't sit quite right with me for some reason. Maybe someone just needs to smack me up aside the head or have Tim pass me that joint.

money bow-tie is a really great thing.

@tsiro: It was a great show. Are you at the conference?

Yes. Yes, something indeed crawled up is butthole. A frozen dildo, to be precise. Although, the word crawled isn't right. Forced brutally is more like it.

Go back to your hole.

This is the weirdest forum post I have ever read.

You sound like a robot trying to process inputs of emotion.

Wow, these are amazing.

Worth the kickstarter alone... well not really but the rock.

I am! Cuz, like, I don't want to feel that way and figure that I'm in the minority here, so I have some 'splain'n to do. After all, it's Double Fine and Tim Schaefer. No one in their right mind should think those things.

If some of the money I sent in wound up on that toilet roll, I would be over with that. Anything to make Tim Schafer happy. This isn't sarcasm, I adore Tim's work.

I'd smoke a money joint with that guy.

@Snipzor: There's still 5 days left on the Kickstarter, so they have not received a single dollar of that 2 million yet.

At least one of those is potentially incriminating. Possibly two depending on what's in the baggie. Someone tell Schafer to give me one of those money trees and no one needs to know about this.

This is great. This is great.

I was thinking of something else entirely when I read money shots...

But these are good too.

This. And calm the fuck down, everyone.

wheres the money shots? all i see is cash

The money tree is awesome

@nintendoeats: I wish. I just watched the stream last night instead of doing all of the work that I should have been doing.

I'm disappointed. I thought I was going to see Tim Schafer's Psychonuts.

@bonorbitz: Well they are waiting for the kickstarter to end before they formulate further details, that way they can have everyone involved. It was said in a interview somewhere, I forget. Just wait about a week I guess

Awesome shots. Somewhat creative too.

Here's hoping for a brilliant title from the minds at Double Fine, I am sure if they allocate that money well enough they will be able to create something that is acceptable for their fans and newcomers alike.

I hope they make postcards of these.

Can we buy prints of these? I want these framed in my room.

pretty awesome stuff right here.

Pretty sure he's going to use it to.....pay his game developers.

@bonorbitz: Hey, you're not alone. However I'm also convinced that this whole thing came about because it was a joke everyone was already making so they just decided to roll with it for the show.

I also thought it was pretty frikkin' funny.

I would love him if his taste of music was not comparable to 80s emotionally abused teenagers.

my face hurts from laughing :D

I want a money tree

Amazing. Does that Franklin on the right side of the first picture have a beard!?

You're really sounding desperate today, Trolleo.

As awesome as this looks, it's totally Image Spam, which isn't good for the forums at all.

Goddam!  I want these in Hi Freakin Def.  The Mos Def yo!
