Yes. Or possibly no.

Someone messed up yesterday and revealed the Double Fine site-in-development to be stored on a computer called "Timmy". Does that scare you more?

On the plus side, the news mentions the team having a milestone on Friday. They can't have a milestone if they don't have a publisher, now can they? Sounds like good news will be coming soon.

I suspect if they had a publisher they'd announce it? The fact that they're sticking to self-imposed milestones at the moment can't be a bad thing though.

The milestone is Double Fine Action Comic #30, at least that's what I got from reading that.

Unless Jake has a better reason for being so sure, I probably won't be convinced until someone gives me Admin privileges so I can cross reference user IPs through the vB CP. It's a conspiracy, I tell you. (I need some sleep...).

Yeah, I guess it might not be Tim, it would be cool if it was though. Maybe he needs to take a pic of himself with a sign that says "I love to mambo and play adventure games" and post it, then I would know for sure that it was him.

Tim would never use anything related to Kingz's site (nor my site), yet he has an avatar from CoT and the title of 'God'. He goes out of his way to appear to ignore his fan sites. Here is a quote from Tim in relation to my website, "Modesty, or at least my desire to APPEAR modest, forces me to pretend that your site doesn't exist." On top of Tim's normal 'modesty' he also seems to have great fun tormenting Kingz by ignoring him in particular. I'm confident that that is not Tim.
