I can't help but be dissapointed. I mean, I love Tim Schafer and so I'll play it, but I generally find heavy metal to be really obnoxious, so I really wish it had another theme. On the other hand, I'm not into bike culture and I loved Full Throttle, so maybe it will be okay? At least it's not hip-hop themed...

i fkn hate puffy dyed hair metal, i despise the kind of humor jack black does but this looks like mindless fun. if the script is only 10% as sharp and witty as Psychonauts was it's gonna be better than sex with Dio
:eek:
let's see if they can top the milkman

Heavy metal fantasy? VERY weird, but sounds AWESOME!

Tim Schafer and Jack Black are both fucking awesome. I expect nothing short of utter awesomeness.
Sierra must have a lot of faith in this being successful, given that they're sending out $70 record players as part of the initial press launch.

Heavy metal and fantasy used to be very closely aquainted once. This is '70s Frazetta airbrushed panel van' the game, I hope.
With comedy.

Yeah but its mostly sceney or revival stuff (which seems to be making a comeback). Your average punter might not get the association as the last ten years or so it all went elsewhere. Most folks I know, who could not care less, would not associate the two; fantasy is for nerds, heavy metal is for tough guys. A foolish point of view to be sure, but not entirely surprising given trends in popular culture.
