By the way, manicm, what was your opinion of 'Psychonauts'. I know it's not a Telltale or LucasArts game (it's Schafer's game), but I felt that it certainly had that sadistic style of humour you were referring to. I actually felt that the game's humour was somewhere in between the comedic styles of each company, which is why I'm interested to know what you thought of it.
I don't think manicm sounded like a meathead at all. He's simply stating his feelings about our games.
I play a lot of FPSs. So many that I was ranked 15th globally on the Call of Duty 3 leader boards for about a year. But I also liked Telltales games well before I worked here. So I don't quite get the thought process of all FPS fans being (insert something negative).

It's just a genre that seems to attract a lot of meatheads, is all. I guess it can be compared to the metal genre in music. I'm a metal fan, I know quite a few other metal fans who are pretty great and intelligent people, but I'm not going to deny that at least 50% of metal fans are completely idiotic human beings.
I love FPS. I love all types of games. To be honest, point'n'click games are probably my least favourite. Not because of the format, but because there are so few /good/ point'n'click games out there (in my humble opinion.) But I believe Telltale has pulled it off the the extent of being my favourite company.
