RPS interviews former Double Fine guy 31 Oct, 2007, 18:27 / 2 comments


Rock, Paper, Shotgun have gotten themselves an interview with Valve writer Erik Wolpaw, who it transpires actually worked for Double Fine not too long ago. Not only that, but he was the (a?) story/dialogue writer for Psychonauts alongside ol' Tim Schafer.

Although the majority of the interview is about Valve and their newly released Orange Box, he does talk about his experience at Double Fine for a few paragraphs. And that's good enough for a Mojo post, right? Of course it is.
"Anyway, the best thing about working with Tim was that I could completely trust his instincts. If I wrote something, and then Tim thought it wasn?t that strong, I didn?t have to waste any time agonizing over whether he was wrong because he was right. He?s like a big comedy safety net."
Read that interview.

    I'd like to enjoy more necro-rape of 80's misogynistic, wife-beating, racist, homophobe c?ck-r?ck m?t?l, and platform-hop on over to the next string of reflex twitch obstacles...but I keep slipping on all the spilt blood from that one time adventure games committed suicide! F?ck Y??h!

    That's one of the best gaming-related interviews I've read. I like the bit where he talks about him and Tim having insult matches, too.
