Jack Black: hero of taste

As if having John Kricfalusi animate the intro sequence to his Tenacious D movie didn't already qualify him entry into Club Du Awesome, Jack Black has shown his taste in video games by appearing on American Idol (what was that about taste?...) wearing not one, but TWO Psychonauts t-shirts (on separate occasions, obviously).

Psychonauts is a game that I hold the most sacred opinions of, and when I heard the sales figures for it, a little part of me actually died inside. Psychonauts was never very popular, despite having some of the best characterisation and friendly-feeling story ever in a game, so seeing a reference to it like this is a very nice feeling. You can read a frothy-mouthed review that I did of it in 2005, if you so desire.

(Thanks, Mix 'n' Mojo!)
