    I hope it gets released before I go to bed so I can have it downloading over night. Probably not likely, but still. <_>

    pff haven't people learned from chapter 1.. if telltale sais the 20th it means the 21th for europeans and for most other people located to the east from the US.

    They had a really big problem right before the launch of chapter 1. How can you learn from this?

    So is it being released at midnight PST? I have the misfortune of living in California, so it wont come out til midnight for me.
  • edited August 2009
    No, it will be released during the day - other TT games have been released around 10am-noon PST, but if they have a few difficulties again like with Chapter 1 it could be later. It should be out by 5pm PST though :)

    Yes.

    Having experienced thrill of main fine desktop (on which previous 4 Monkey Island games are installed/run) being continually crashed only by TOMI/reverting to playing TOMI 1 on this lappie, I foolishly in UK now at 0840 cannot download that for which I paid £24.99

    MORAL: Only buy proven real not vapour ware.

    I am an old git who has already on disks the previous 4 Monkey Island titles (in boxes-on floppy-on CD/DVD etc) bought the day they were released.

    I'd chalk this post up to Poe's Law if it weren't for the myriad of posts identical to this one peppered throughout the forum like drunken, shotgun-monkey birdshot. Show me one instance of Telltale vaporware.

    Why don't you go outside and get some fresh air. Maybe visit some friends and play a little Frisbee golf. Sitting around and obsessing how Telltale has done you wrong will just raise your blood pressure. Take it from another old git: you'll live longer that way.

    I seccond that. It's the 20th pasific... Get it out!
  • edited August 2009
    ok its like 1am PST so the chance of anyone being up to release a game right now are slim to non.

    Lazy gits :-)

    If this takes much longer, I may need to buy Sam N Max to keep me occupied.
  • edited August 2009
    Have had fresh air thanks, and would like what I-others have bought.

    Fact is that nothing in TOMI should require PC better spec'd than ones that effectively run Monkwy 1-4.

    No, 0917 here in UK and my paid-for pt2 is still not available here in UK.

    As for 'living longer' - best to buy only that which exists, it seems ...

    Strange that a lot of 18 year olds on this site are not aware that TOMI is arguably 5th in series dating back to when some of us bought it in early 1990s.

    Being kind/occasionally speaking up when appropriate is a good thing.

    Please tell me you are joking. Either that or you know naff all.

    This time I know better, instead of staying up all night to have the game released roughly 10am morning, i shall sleep. Then wake up to download and play ^^

    Well, I went ahead and bought it, been taking an age though to appear in My Games (and only had the Paypal confirmation so far).

    At least you probably got it, I've got to send them an email to find out why it's not in My Games (and I only got a paypal confirmation).

    This means I'll probably be able to play it aruond or shortly after chapter 2 comes out.

    Has anyone else noticed how, when the 1st episode was delayed on its release, we managed to bring telltale games to a spinning halt, shutting down forums and causing chaos, however this time, we are all being patient and predictable. Come on people, where's your fighting spirit? Monkey power!!!!!

    There's plenty to do whilst you wait....

    Play a little racquetball.
    Or wash your car.
    Or cook dinner.
    Or join a funk band.
    Or travel to a foreign country.
    Or run for president.
    Or talk to a member of the opposite sex.
    Or lube your car.
    Or host a weenie roast.
    Or dig for buried treasure.

    ...and so on.

    I wanna play this chapter now, yes I do.
  • edited August 2009
    Have Telltale given any clue to the release time? Or are they going to keep us in the dark again?

    All I ever read was "20th of August, PST" - no clue as to what time.

    Maybe the game isn't finished yet.
    Maybe it's strategy.
    Maybe it's sadism.

    I bet they're having a great time reading through these silly lines of ours, their finger hovering over the "release-EP2" - button. ;)

    am I the only one who gets the reference or am I the only one who thought "good old times" while reading it?

    Ahhh.... lucky me... still got a thesis to finish. :D

    It will not be until at least business hours Pacific. They want to be in the office when it goes live, but don't expect it first thing either. It will most likely be in the afternoon Pacific Time.
