I idolize Matt Stone and Trey Parker more each day. There’s nothing these two can’t accomplish brilliantly.
Tv show? Award-winning. Movie (base on tv show)? Oscar nominated. Broadway play? More Tony awards than I can count and now Grammy-nominated.
Now comes the first South Park RPG game they’ve had an active role in creating. Some unconfirmed (but most likely accurate) details about the game.
- The player’s character will be silent and “fully customizable”.
- Eric Cartman will greet your character and help you decide your class, which are wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue, and a fifth unconventional class made up by Cartman
- Many elements of the combat system are like Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi games.
- There is a Final Fantasy Materia like system in the game to augment weapons with various abilities like fire, poison, and electricity.
- Parker and Stone gave Obsidian 15 years of assets used during the show and a detailed list of approved textures and colors.
- Critical hits, cash rewards, experience, and consumables are in the game.
- Sodas are health potions and Tweak’s coffee is a haste item.
- There will probably be no unskippable cutscenes because Parker hates them
Will be available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Current release plan is the second half of 2012.

I remember hearing about this years ago but it still kinda blows my mind.
An Alien in Every Episode of South Park
Everybody knows that Kenny dies in every episode, but there is also an Alien visitor featured in EVERY episode somewhere, sometimes in a flash-frame, sometimes in posters, in the background, etc...
