    uuuuuuuugh, we KNOW that The Devil's Playhouse is coming, so could you please announce it already so we can give you all our money, please?

    Lets all strip naked and send in pictures of us holding copies of Sam and Max, refusing to stop until preorders are up. Ladies first. :D

    You have more experience, though, so I think you should go first.*

    Interesting interview with Dan Connors:

    Some interesting points:

    We're looking to engage more franchises, including those that are more topical and relevant in the current entertainment world.

    Oh God it is Twilight ... excuse me while I drink myself into oblivion.

    When you are up, don't forget that you can leave your hat on.

    No I couldn't.... Really. As the best that this forum has to offer, I think it's only fair to everybody that I go last.

    Also I can't quite read the last part of your post; it seems to have been written in fine print.

    Well, I guess your second statement explains the first.
    By which I mean, the fact that you admittedly have a bad eyesight explains why you think you're the best this forum has to offer.

    No, you don't have to fight. You have to send a photo of you naked to Telltale. That all. You can wear a hat though. In your head.

    So, does that mean that the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT will be another CSI game?

    Or an "Avatar" game? A game that thinks that 2010 is a leap year?! "Sam and Max Save BBC Six Music"?!!!!

    Shredder controls the Foot Clan, and 4 masked anthropomorphic turtles trained in martial arts frequently beat the heck out of him.

    This exchange has made my day.

    On topic: Anyone familiar with Valve time? Can someone estimate what a "couple days" translates into in Telltale Time? I figure we're close to the announcement, but I can't be sure.

    Well, it wasn't TTG who said soon, it was those guys from that site.
    So the question is, what's G4V (was that the name) Time?

    When Telltale Tuesday is over, I guess, and after the winners are put up? Maybe G4 will post the news first, and then Telltale will wait 24 hours? Anyways, let's just pretend it's June and be pleasantly surprised.

    As much as I love Telltale, their big news is just going to be overshadowed by the upcoming Portal 2 / Half Life 2 Episode 3 announcement.

    Also known as the worst channel in existence. Just for the parasitic devouring of TechTV, cable television's greatest channel, it deserves that distinction. But no, they filled in TechTV's timeslots with RE-RUNS OF SYNDICATED SHOWS. Were they good? Well, there's COPS, and Cheaters, and Totally Outrageous Behavior. Granted they also ran the Original Star Trek series and Arrested Development, but they ran the former with a horribly annoying web game ticker covering far too much of the screen the entire time(and had the audacity to refer to this as an "upgrade"), and the latter is...well, still re-runs.

    My hatred is a little outdated, but the last time I checked some exclusive X-Play news, they had shredded the only TechTV property they kept beyond recognition.

    Grr.

    ....look, if topics as disparate as naked photos and Ninja Turtles are allowable, then by God my G4 rant can work to.

    Also, on topic, I never like it when someone says they're "contemporary", "modern", or "with the times". Generally this means they're being pushed along by the tides of popular opinion, and the resulting creations are cheap attempts to grab onto this slippery and fickle cultural consciousness to leverage its significant spending power to their advantage.

    But, considering there's no announcement whatsoever, I really don't see anything to seriously consider here. Still, since I like to crush people's souls, here is....
    The Rather Dashing-Approved Worst Case Scenario!

    (A Stream-Of-Consciousness Post)

    "Good news, everyone! Tales has sold so well, LucasArts has decided to spend $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to acquire our studio and employee payroll! As part of the new acquisition, we're proud to announce aunching day-and-date with the new live-action Star Wars Television Series will be an all-new, Gungan adventure! It will be our most cinematic and action-packed game to date! However, we are afraid to inform you that our digital distribution model is being restructured. So that WE can bring great games to YOU, we're moving all of our previous releases to a new system that requires a full internet connection(you're on the internet now! How lucky, you qualify!), and we'll have to drop off older episodes as new ones come in(like television! Or Hulu! =D).

    Now with the biggest news out of the way, we have some extra bits about Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse! We've listened to fan feedback, and we know a lot of you have been wanting a full, non-episodic release from Telltale! We have great news for those people: It's finally happening! You'll get the thrill of:

    -The thrill of a $50-60 price tag!
    -The entire game in one place, no more waiting!
    -Go anywhere, anytime! Don't start up Episode 1 JUST to go visit the first planet
    -Solve puzzles across an entire galaxy!
    -An Officially Licensed Prima Game Guide!(not included)

    Episodic fans don't need to worry, though! We promise that The Devil's Playhouse will deliver the feel of a Telltale episode, with its expected 4-hour play time and nebulous release date! Everybody wins!

    Now if you'll excuse me, the interns have just filled the new Telltale Pool with shiny gold coins, and I'm totally going Scrooge McDuck on that.

    I'm sorry, I'm not usually one to correct grammar and spelling mistakes. But you used "going to be", when you should have been using the past tense "has been". You also misspelled "Fallout: New Vegas" and "Civilization V".

    But ... even better than either announcement on its own, is surely all these annoucements at once? My head might explode.

    How do you know that? It hasn't even been officially announced? How do you delay something that has no release date?

    A) Looks more like a generic Schweinefleischkoffer to me ... and that just ain't kosher.

    B) Actually, I'm drinking myself into oblivion with pepsi, 'cause it's symbolic and stuff.

    ...

    That might be too obscure a reference, even for me.

    These have room to walk, are on the ground and not piled on top of each other. There is much, much worse.

    (Also, god these sausages are fat. Although I guess it increases the resemblance with murder weapons lol)

    The bacon is a lie.
