Thimbleweed Park

[NTMBK]

So this is finally coming out in a week's time- who's getting it? Can't wait, personally!

I suck at games like these. Just read up on the background plot and a few characters, and now I'm interested.

I'm definitely looking forward to it.. sounds quirky like the old lucasarts games, so it should be fun!

The lead dev actually worked on Monkey Island!

So how is it, OP?

I missed it at launch but am currently playing Thimbleweed Park and having a blast. Really brings back that old-school LucasArts adventure vibe. There's one setting in the Options menu though that's confusing everyone at first glance : "Toilet Paper over / under". Just Googled it and here's the story:-

http://www.pcgamer.com/thimbleweed-park-toilet-paper-gets-a-reversible-overunder-menu-option/

Basically someone complained the toilet paper was hanging the wrong way around in the toilet with the "leaf" being under rather than over in the toilet roll holder. After several humorous back and forth goading tweets with the community:-

- "There are two types of people: 1) People who set their toilet paper so that it rolls from above. 2) Monsters."

- "Under? you know who used the toilet paper rolled like that? Hitler, that's who."

- "The more people complain about the toiletpaper in @thimbleweedpark, the less likely I am to change it because I know how much it annoys you. Mwahahahaha!" - Ron Gilbert

etc, Ron Gilbert amusingly put in a Correct-Toilet-Paper-Orientation-Gamer-Preference in the Options Menu just for one single room in one area of the game. End result:-

Under : http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Tf9GknSqnL2suUoPYeDnjT-650-80.png

In an age where many FPS's (and their "communities") take themselves way too seriously, it's great to have that old-school LucasArts sense of humor back.
