I hereby announce that I will do a gamer's blackout on Psychnauts. That means no more looking at the latest screenshots, movies, and previews and interviews. No being gullible and getting into the hype, no analyzing every single pixel of screenshots or projecting my wet phantasies on gameplay. Occasionally I'll check up on the game's progress by just reading little bits of news when they pop up. But until the game goes gold (at least for Xbox) I have other things to do. And no, Tim Schafer is not GOD, he's just some really cool guy with a great imagination who makes games.

Anyone wanna join me in this?

I actually did the same with Fable and Half-Life 2. Heh, it's a case of 'ignorance is bliss'.

Anyone wanna join me in this?

Count me in! Well, at least for a while.

Hey, suits me.

I do the same with most games that I'm really, really excited about - partly because I don't want to know too much about the end product, but mostly because screenshots and things still bore me to tears - no matter how awesome the game looks. Also, I've seen the Psychonauts trailer, so there probably isn't that much else to see that would impress me.

Wanna join me there? I heard they have a great bar with custom mixed drinks, and supermodels who'll give you massages! Of course, if Tim is GOD, he's not on the guest list. Nyah!

If they don't over hype the game and if it turns out to be good, then there's no need to "blackout" on Psychonauts.

Loved the trailer and enjoyed the interview, so yeah, that's probably enough hype for me. I'm doing more of a media rationing than blackout, but I'm definitely in overkill avoidance mode.

I'm excited about it, and expect a lot of Schafery goodness, even if the gameplay somehow fails to impress. That's all I need.
