All of this extra mile stuff is the reason that I get angry and defensive when people start to attack Telltale, like during the Monkey Island shipping fiasco. If Telltale says they're doing their best for us, you know they're giving 150%, and to imply or accuse otherwise is insulting, because I can guarantee you that no other company in the industry treats its customers so well.
thanks for the explaination! I do now understand the reason behind not giving out the code..
I thought they were given out codes to unlock Hats
TellTale can check my account, I have also picked up a copy here! this company has indeed earned my trust and respect, well done!
God knows it's probably easier to do a torrent search than buy a game
Thankfully my sense of entitlement hasn't gotten so large that I think I should be getting games for free. I'll pay for my entertainment and I'll damn well like it!
Don't get me wrong, I am all for questioning the decisions and motivations of companies, even Telltale. It's just that, well, there's usually a space between "Wait, there's something wrong here..." and blinding consumer rage. Generally that space contains "contact the company and inquire calmly about the issue". If someone bought from Telltale and saw that other people were getting stuff, it might have been nice if the thread went more along the lines of "Telltale, PS3 users seem to be getting something we're not. I didn't hear anything about this, what gives?" I thought that Sam and Max fans, of all Telltale fans, would have had the most experience with Telltale's excellent track record. Even if these things had been exclusive and you REALLY WANT THEM NOW, as long as you bought direct from Telltale, you could get a refund. I'm certain of it, considering the conditions under which I've seen the company give refunds.
I dunno, I just think TTG has earned at least some buffer space and benefit of the doubt, and even with companies whose practices you don't know generally should be approached with civility, at least at first.
It's like you don't even know how running speed is calculated in TF2 :rolleyes:
As I recall, it's measured in Hammer (the Source map editor) units per second, with the base being 300. Scout is 400, Medic is 320, Demoman is 280, Soldier and Heavy are 240. Zoomed sniper and spinning heavy are 80.
100% would be your base, dummy. If you're giving, say, 200%, you're giving double what you normally would, NOT twice the max amount you can.

It doesn't work that way in the expression I was talking about. "Giving 100%" means giving everything you have. You can't give more than everything, so "giving 150%" is impossible.

What if you could only think you give so much, and then when push comes to shove you found that little bit of inner strength that let you work a bit harder, does that mean you'd be working over 100% or that you'd always been below 100%?

And I already know somebody who gave away their code. Siiiiiigh.
Ray-The-Sun, I appreciate you not mentioning my name but we already addressed this matter in another forum. I gave away my code because I bought both the Telltale site version and the Steam version. If I had known it was a violation of Telltale's trust and would unlock the games for the user I gave it to, I wouldn't have done it.
That being said, considering I bought the game twice from Telltale, me giving out the code is quintessential to me gifting the game to someone. I didn't sell the code, I gave it away. Telltale got paid twice in the transaction and lost no money from my mistake.
Quit trying to paint me as a criminal not only here but on other forums as well, or I will travel through your ethernet cable and throttle you with it.
I just bought Team Fortress 2 just because of the Sam and Max stuff.... I hope you are happy TTG and Steam.... Now I hope I do not suck so horribly bad at the game.

If you do(and I get TF2 PC running) please play against me I promise I will place a sentry where you wont see it until you die(my #1 killer)
EDIT: Naww that would be mean. I would instead be a spy, trick you, and shoot you with sams gun.
... I do not know why I bought it... other than the goofy Max hat.... I am horrible at shooter games.... I hope I will be able to have some fun with it other than getting killed repeatedly.
I know I sucked at TF2 when I first got it, but I got better! If you're looking for a good beginner server, toss me a PM and I might be able to help you out.
I just may do that.... I have NO gamer friends in real life.... all my friends are into other things and do not understand many of my geekier endeavors.
This was a seriously awesome treat. My two favorite developers of all time working together. Dream come true. Thanks for allowing us to get the TF2 items even if we pre-ordered here (and for the copy of the game on Steam). That was a lot quicker than I expected it to happen!
My scout is quick as a little psychotic lagomorph now.
I just updated to the Steam Beta UI (to troubleshoot an L4D2 issue) and it apparently remembered my server list from the last time I was running the Beta UI, and lost my newer TF2 server favorites.
(Note: This is because the new UI stores your favorite servers in the Steam cloud, while the old one doesn't.)
What's the Telltale TF2 server address again?
Edit: Nevermind, the address is on the Telltale Games Steam group description. For reference, it's tf2.telltalegames.com
Let me know if anything wacky happens... the bad kind of wacky. You getting Max's head as a TF2 unlock is the good kind. Actually, feel free to tell us about that kind, too.
Wow, you guys are awesome. When I saw the promo on Steam after pre-ordering from TTG, I was a bit let down, but since I also have OCD, I knew I had made the right choice as to keep my game list on TTG's site complete (no way I could only have seasons 1 and 2 on that list!).
After debating for a while if I should buy the set on steam as well (which I eventually decided against), I thought maybe there would be a thread here, and look what I find
Again, you guys are great. Thanks so much for working to put this together for those of us who pre-ordered here - we all appreciate it very much.
I second that sentiment. While I certainly love Steam, I've always preferred to go right to the source when possible and have made all my Telltale purchases right here and telltalegames.com. I'm extrememly pleased that I was able to order here and still support my fav freelance police while playing TF2.
Besides the awesomeness of the games themselves, customer service like this is why I will continue to buy Telltale's stuff sight unseen. Kudos on making this work. Also just joined the TTG TF2 group, looking forward to playing with you guys!
I am 100% useless at online FPS. Although I'm never sure if it's a problem with my internet connection because I'll shoot and shoot and shoot with no effect and then they'll kill me with one shot.

I'm not suprised at all, but when you see something like this

Edit: Whoops, Heavy is 230 not 240 according to the Wiki.

Thanks Telltale!
Shame that they update they did it in is terribad.
You sound like a mad pyro player. Airblasting has never been so fun!
Look at this scene and tell me if something doesn't feel right.
THis can be done with all buildings. 10 level 3's per engi.
Surely a bug?
Definitely is, yes. The average player won't know how to take advantage of it, either. Hopefully Valve quickly fix the bugs this new update created.
I'm alright at them in single player.
One of the biggest in the entire history of the game. Bestworst update ever.
Try to go with medic. Healing others should work.
And desipite the fact that they fixed it, you can still do it. You just have to think slightly more negative.
