So way back in September when I was filming my videos for October I planned on playing Stacking for the month of December. You see, Costume Quest was made by Double Fine and Stacking is also a game made by Double Fine. And there's an achievement in Costume Quest for finding a small nesting doll in a cave and a message pops up about Stacking. In the Extras section of Stacking there's also reference to Costume Quest. I knew these two games were done by the same developer, but I didn't know the other game I had planned for December was done by them as well.
I've wanted to go back and play Psychonauts and finish it for a long time. Since my memory cards were stolen I would have to start over from scratch. But that was okay because it had been a long time since I played that game.
Unfortunately, I was playing scary or Halloween games for October (I thought Psychonauts would fit in well, but I didn't have the time for three games that month). For November I had already planned on playing military themed games in honor of Veteran's Day. So the earliest I could post videos of Psychonauts would be December. It didn't really strike me as a "December/Christmas" type of game but I was going to do it anyway.
Unfortunately I got really sick at the end of November (still am) and my ability to shot videos ahead of schedule was pretty much squashed. When December started I didn't have any videos recorded and I didn't have much of a voice to do so. But the show must go on, right?
I filmed the first episode of Stacking and moved on to Psychonauts. I was filming that episode on Thursday which was the same night the Video Game Awards show was on TV. While I was playing away apparently there was an announcement that Double Fine is going to crowd fund Psychonauts 2. Yeah! Of course I didn't find this out until the next night when I was trying to edit the video and check up on all the news I've missed that week (it's been very busy at work).
Perfect timing right? I didn't have this planned out other than to put up videos of Psychonauts in December because that was the first available month to do so. And it wasn't until I started filming that I noticed Psychonauts was also made by Double Fine. So this month is more timely that I had planned and is a Double Fine month of videos for my Youtube channel. I don't think I could have planned that out any better.
If you want to contribute to the making of Psychonauts 2 (and why wouldn't you) you can check out their fundraising here: Double Fine's Psychonauts 2 funding. If you want to follow Double Fine on twitter they're at @DoubleFine. Check them out. And you can check out my Double Fine videos on my channel here: Pengwenn's Youtube channel

Are you F'ing kidding me? I just finished playing Psychonauts. Even more weird?.. this isn't the first time you and I have been in sync and played the same obscure game at the same time. I don't remember what the last game was, but it's recorded somewhere in your blog comments.
For the record: I'm replaying Beyond Good and Evil now. Was that next on your list? ;)
No, but I just downloaded it on Xbox (I do have the PS2 version as well). I was thinking about Abe's Oddysee (or New n Tasty if you prefer the remake). Or maybe Ico for my next "classic that everyone should play" game. I'd like to play the Maximo games too. It's fun fighting in your underwear. :)
