    That was pretty funny, and am I the only one who is reminded of Bill Murray when they look at Tim?

    I'm not seeing it myself. In terms of looks and voice he reminds me more of Jack Black, which is quite apt considering Brutal Legend.

    I really liked the mouse cursor gag in the video. I'm for ever tracing characters mouths and eyes whilst they talk, during adventure games.
