Yahtz is to hats what I am to masturbating. 
Thanks for the mental image there, CJ.
I'm going to go stab myself in the head with a pastry fork now.

I'm not pessimistic; I've just realised that the light at the end of the tunnel is an incoming train.

Ever felt the Welder or Tallman is following you?
Me neither.
To all those who answered yes, you are paranoid.

While we are at it, does that weapon the Tall Man uses have a name, or is it just some weird thing Yahtzee made up? I like to think of it as an umbrella with a pointy tip.

As far as I can tell, it's a weapon Yahtzee made up.
I'm pretty sure it's more than just a pointy tip. I think the "umbrella" part of it is metal and bladed, too. I get this impression particularly while he's moving it back and forth in that guy on the ship in Trilby's Notes.

Can someone go and watch Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and tell me if the weapons the guards are holding in the opening scenes are exactly the same? I have a vague memory of that being the case.

No, they're holding pikes.

Well, yeah, I think so too. It's just the idea of a faceless guy stabbing people with an umbrella is, IMHO, much cooler than a guy with a mask with a bladed thingy.

Stabbing people with an umbrella? Sounds like a twisted version of Singing in the Rain.

I think tall man's weapon might be classified as a type of spear/pike, but i don't think it has a particular name.
I think Yahtzee made it up because:
I always thought the tall man was a cruel parody of Trilby.
He killed AJ in the first game, and Trilby was suspected, right? Being the same height and all.
And Trilby's . . . . ummm . . . . "grolly", was it? Umbrella with a grappling hook hidden? The tall man's weapon is just a cruel parody of that.

Huh?
And they aren't the same height anyway, Trilby's half a foot taller.

It was described in the non-existing IRC channel last night, can't remember exactly, but I found out Yahtz is to hats what I am to masturbating.
I know, not needed, but hell, I find it funny.

Yes. You struggling to masturbate with that pin dick of yours is a funny thought.

@AdamM:
Correct me if i'm wrong, but it was actually the tall man who killed AJ, the secret agent, in the first game, as was explained in the third game. (Was AJ the secret agent . . .?)
(Yahtzee was fixing the plot hole whereas Trilby hadn't been posessed yet, but was still the only one tall enough to murder AJ).
Therefore, it is my theory that since Yahtzee was stuck with making a Trilby-like character to fix that plot hole, he also included a weapon that resembled trilby's grolly.
Course, i'm probably wrong and soemone's about to quote yahtzee to prove it . . .
