    "Double Fine's gonna do an HD remaster soon."

    It's too bad you didn't add a (source/reference) link to your reply.
    It would have been nice if people reading it, especially if your post gets upvoted (it's at Score:2 now), could verify your statement and read more about Double Fine's plans.
