When game designer Tim Schafer applied to work at LucasArts (then Lucasfilm Games), Schafer's resume had stood out because instead of a list of previous jobs and experience, it was a hand-drawn cartoon of how he was picked for the job with his cover letter set out as a text adventure. He had however thought to have blown the phone interview because he had told over the phone that his favorite Lucas game was Ballblaster, which was the original name given to Ballblazer during development that had also been pirated online.
