Game Informer's yearly parody of gaming news, Game Infarcer, is great at predicting the future, but sometimes it just inspires people. Developer Double Fine responds to one of this year's jokes in a surprising way.

Game Infarcer ran a story about Double Fine deciding to utilize its humorous talents to create a new joke book. Well, the fine fine folks at Double Fine seem to like the idea and have created this webpage. For reference, below is the blurb that appears in the April issue of Game Informer Magazine.

A Fine Day to Laugh: The Double Fine Joke Book
Tired of making games praised primarily for their humor, developer Double Fine has created a product that highlights the company’s real talent. Inside Double Fine’s new joke book you’ll find dozens of double entendres about swordplay, five flower/flour puns, and a few old pieces of concept art from Brütal Legend that the company really wanted to use somewhere. Sadly, Double Fine ran out of jokes mid-development, and was forced to crowdsource the remaining limericks to complete the project.

This book would look really good in the magazine rack in my bathroom.

"What's red and invisible? No tomatoes."
Once again, Double Fine rocks.

EDIT:"Why did the single owl stay indoors? Too wet to woo."
I don't get that one.

This is great. Too bad my issue hasn't arrived yet. :-(

Just one of the reasons why Double Fine's awesome.

Hahahaha nice.

Funny how Game Infarcer predicts the future much more accurately than Michael Pachter, lol.

Rad!

You guys really like the smell of your own farts too much. Game Infarcer is such a waste of a few pages that could have been spent on your otherwise very well laid out and visually pleasing magazine. I'm sorry I just don't find it funny or clever anymore.

I like to think that this means the Rock Band board game has a chance.

And this is why I love Double Fine. Well played!

That is fantastic!
by avengerite Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 08:02 PM

It's really cool that they would do that. Go Double Fine!
by Tim Gruver Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 08:52 PM

Hah! Funny turn of events!
