Six hundred miles of synaptic fibre
Five-and-a-half ounces of cranial fluid
Fifteen hundred grams of complex neural matter
A three-pound pile of dreams.
But I'll tell you what it really is!
It is the ultimate battlefield!
And!
The ultimate weapon!

This thread is about one of the best games ever.
Namely
the Most Excellent Game
PSYCHONAUTS!
Created by mad gaming genius TIM SHAFER of Monkey Island, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango fame, Psychonauts is a weird little action-adventure platformer that largely takes place not in the physical realm but
in the human mind!
You play as Raz:
A ten-year-old, psychically-gifted acrobat who runs away from the circus to join Whispering Rock Psychic Summercamp in his quest to become a full-fledged psychic secret agent: A Psychonaut!
Psychonauts features some of the best art direction and writing of any game
ever and it is a genuinely fun, funny and original experience that everybody should try at least once.
Talk about it in this thread. It's what the thread is for.
EDIT:By the way, Double Fine recently unveiled their brand-new
PSYCHO-PEDIA containing muchos infos on the game and some of the people involved with it. BE CAREFUL, though, as the PSYCHO-PEDIA
also contains muchos spoileros, which you should be wary of if you haven't already played the game.

you disappoint me, spex
Listen, you and I know the score but not everybody is as smart as we are so I've had to dumb things down a little in order to allow the plebs to keep up.
I actually started replaying it on christmas eve! there must be something in the air
hot diggity dog!
fair enough
Sort of the "Hegelian dialectic" of PA posters, you and I.
I can never decide which is my favorite though.
so is Dues Ex and Thief: DS and Tomb Raider: Legend and the first two Hitman games but really Psychonauts is there and free and anyone who hasn't played it has no excuse

Perhaps the only type of Communism I espouse!
It's your duty as a human being to finish the game.
Do it.
Do it for humanity
I deleted it and unless Steam saves Save Games for deleted games I don't think I'll be playing through that much again
you are terrible

Not incredible but nice.
Book?
If you're talking about the Psycho-Pedia it's an online thing.
And it has links to the campers's myspace profiles!

It is my first social networking thing
It's really nice to keep in touch with high school friends after we all graduated.

Hello fellow road crew worker.
