As I made clear earlier today, I am a big fan of Tim Schafer and have been eagerly anticipating his current video game project, Brütal Legend, since it was first announced last year. I was a little worried about the future of the game amidst the Activision/Blizzard merger, so naturally, I turned to Tim’s blog on the Double Fine website, which I enjoy reading from time to time. There was no news about the status of Brütal Legend, however, and instead, all Tim posted was a picture of a dead weevil found in his cereal.

I’m pretty sure I hit the refresh button on that page dozens of times today, but in my impatience for new information I neglected to simply let the mouse rest on the picture—until now, eight hours later. And what happens when one does that, you may ask? The words “Brütal Legend is fine” pop up, and I breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Of course, there still aren’t any other details, like who will actually be publishing the game, and whether or not it will make its December release date, but for now the fact that that “Brütal Legend is fine” is really good enough for me. Maybe I should have been a little more careful while scouring the Double Fine site for more information, but how can I be expected to keep a cool head in times of a crisis like that? Stay tuned to Gamervision for further updates on the development of Brütal Legend, as I will not be letting this one out of my sight.
