Default Hot off the zee prezzez: AG Dreamfall preview (or, how Trep screwed himself)
The Longest Journey 2 preview

So perfectly warm, Marek must have just posted it. Warm, like zee beauteeefool croissant! Enzhoyeee!

EDIT: Well, according to Mr. Cheesehater himself, it's not a full blown preview, but still...

EDIT: Okay, so it's a fairly recent preview of a preview! Just wait til next week, okay?!!!

YESSSSS!!!!! F-ckin' A!!!

Yeah, I know. That's why I edited my post. So instead of deleting the whole fecking thing, I thought I'd ruin myself in public and just leave it.

Anyway......

What's up, Trep, trying to score a few reputation points? 8-)

Spoiler:
Don't worry, I just gave you one.

Those reputation buttons are cool and all, but useless without a button to substract points

Hey, point takers - smack you

Well, I think it is a lovely preview and given what was learned at E3 more apt today then before. It isn;t like it can't be resurrected and will be interesting to contrast against current info.

Your rep is above all that mundane points taken/ added crap. Who keeps score anyway.

It's even more furnny that the official Dreamfall site has a link to a preview from IGN dated as "01 January, 2000"! (Dreamfall wasn't even announced then!!) Yet the IGN preview clearly states it's from 5/13/04!

The subtitle "Static" wasn't an indication for you?
