Money, Money, Money
Ugh, all these new announcements make so many of us just go and spend so much money. I don't know of any other company that can make me just throw my money at them as much as TTG can. But the weird thing is, I don't feel bad about it at all, in fact, I actually feel good about it. I feel like I'm actually contributing to the continuation of a part of my childhood that needs to live on even if it's only surviving through this one company. And for that reason, and I'm sure you guys love all the times that we've said this to you, I sincerely thank you for what you're doing. You've actually made me excited about PC gaming again.

Seriously, though, Telltale is awesome and every cent I've given them has been well worth it. Besides, the tarot cards are proof of how awesome they are. With how many other companies could you go on their forums, whine for months about a product you want, and actually get it?
Not to mention the options we have when buying their games. Buy the DVD and you get the downloads for free (including the Mac ones if available). Or, get the downloads and you only have to pay shipping for the DVD. Great stuff!
Absolutely. I was really happy to see those appear in the store. Telltale are cool like that.
Great stuff indeed!
Consider that for orders of more than 50$, the shipping is free, even for international orders!
Bet I still have to pay HM Revenue and Customs something to get it into the country though. Damn bureaucratic money-pinching civil service.
T-shirt! Mug! Buttons #1! ...aaaand Deluxe edition!
And Sam & Max Season 3, ça va sans dire...
...
... Games budget is screaming red this month!
Well, it's the same for all Europe... trade agreements and VAT and all the rest, it's part of our economy... and it's not as the Customs keep the money for itself, you know, it's part of state fiscal revenues... unless UK is very peculiar about it, I don't know
And think here in Italy we have 20% vat!
I wouldn't trust our national post to find their own address.
Oooh, you say it in French in Italy?
(It means "it goes without saying" by the way)
Duh? Aren't you maybe exaggerating a little the problem untrusting your post so much?
Where do you live, Kroms?
Ah Ah ah
More seriously: no, it's not really common at all, it's simply one of the most internationally known French sentences, as far as I know, like "rien ne va plus", "c'est plus facile", "parbleu" ...and of course "voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soire?"
French language do is stereotypically associated with "pretentious refinement" though... also lack of bidets, but that's another story
Indeed I personally appreciated a lot the typical French "sincere and proud republicanism", so to say, the sense of the state as a community, the laicality... or at least it seems so from here, by comparison... any country has its own problems or course, together with cross-country common problems... but I really think in Italy we could use some more of that
Ok, I've gone utterly and completely off-topic, sorry
It's "soir", although that's an easy mistake to make.
I want to say for the record that this sentence never makes any sense at all. As in, it doesn't make any sense that someone would say it. It translates roughly to "will you sleep with me tonight if you please?" or something. You're saying "vous" to the person and using reversed verbs ("Voulez-vous" instead of "vous voulez" or "est-ce que vous voulez") both of which are pretty formal.
The use of "vous" could be explained by it being more than one person, but not the way the verb is conjugated.
Seriously, it doesn't make any sense that someone rude enough to ask that question would go so politely about it. Would make much more sense for them to ask "tu baises ?"
I miss bidets. They're so neat and hygienic.
No worries. That's pretty standard here after all.
I got pretty much the same thing as you, except I'm a small men's size so I got the mug.
Mais non! (Oh, there's also "mais non!" in the list
I think it's intended to be said tenderly to a person you know very very well, your significant other usually, pretending formality, as a part of the foreplay, while you two are already in great intimacy
"Like to screw?" is very rude instead!
In Italy you can't have a bathroom without, it's considered some sort of nasty foolishness
When people that has been abroad wants to cheaply despise the place, they commonly resort to something like: "They haven't bidets! Dirty dirty people!"
... Or, if they are the aforementioned pretentious arsholes: "They haven't bidets! Parvenus!"
"Parvenu" in the list.
I suspect we are establishing a new record, though
I noted when I ordered mine that it's availabe also in men's small: it's not listed in the blurp, but in the Purchase Options it's present! (I'm always undecided with S and M with american sizes... I'm a M-
Since it's not available yet, I'm sure the always friendly support team will help if you prefer to change your order
Rude, but it is actually used :P
Personally, just asking the question would ruin it all for me. After that, asking it in a rude way is not ruining it any more than asking period. I mean, you don't go "wanna have sex?" You snuggle. Is you ask, chances are you'll be breaking the whole thing and not do anything.
And the "ce soir" part makes even less sense. It sounds like you're asking the person if they'll be willing to have sex with you later this evening. It sounds desperate or whorish.
(So is bidet, by the way :P)
I think we're really straying waaaay too much off-topic (and possibly breaking the user agreement)... but let me add just this for the pleasure of the argument: it depends, on how you say it and when (I mean, how far into the snuggling
I have experimental evidence of it working rather well to entice her even more
But only if she's already enticed and a pure play, as said above, else I would agree with you: explicitly asking (really asking, not playing) is a big faux-pas.... "faux-pas" in the list!!
And of course it depends on the people involved: people are different, not everyone likes to talk during love, or have the same turn-ons in general
I really did not know about the "ce soire" part, I thought it could mean "now" if it's already evening...
EDIT: Sorry, "ce soir"...
EDIT: Oh! I forgot a most important part! It turns me on being able to have her feel like smiling back slyly and sweetly answer "Oui, monsieur..."
Oh, right!!
EDIT: Actually no! "Bidet" is from French but it's actually part of the Italian dictionary now! Everyone call it bidet in Italy, not only the aforementioned pretentious arseholes!
Gawwww, you guys! It never gets old to hear it. We are thrilled that you like it just as much as we do, and that's why we're here right now. We do it 'cause we dig it. And then even moreso because you dig it too.
ps- you should hear how happy Shauntron was that everyone liked his trailer. We're humans here, you know! Being genuinely proud of our work and having others enjoy it is high praise.
So even after all the Strong Bad hype has come and gone, I'm still here, and now the bizarrely awesome Sam & Max 3 trailer has me wanting to preorder it. Keep it up Telltale, and I'll be around a lot longer.
You're the best, TTG!
