The hat was causing a lot of problems with his face because of how the geometry worked out so it never made it into the game. I missed it for a while, but am used to it now. Long six days ahead I imagine...
I'd rather you also got rid of those pants, they look... bad (IMO).
YES!!! I can't wait to play this. I was wondering if some sort of ancestor possesion (sp?) was involved. I can't wait to see what will happen next to Sam, Max and their ancestors and what the elves have to do with to do with this plot. Will we finally find out why the %*# Poppers sent that one Elf to Hell? How will messing with the past affect Sam & Max's present? There are just so many questions that this brings up, I can't wait to answer them.
Possession.
Incidentally, Z sounding double Ss are pretty hard for me to wrap my mind around. (Possession, Scissors...).
In French, you'll only have a double S to prevent the sound from being "Z" (an S between two vowels is pronounced like a Z). So when I see these words I'm always wondering, what's the extra S for, then?
Pronunciation rules always change a lot from a language to the next, but for some reason that's one big thing that I always have trouble with. I never have any problem with a single S that's still pronounced S even between two vowels - I just tell myself the rule is different in that language (in Spanish for instance). But with English there just isn't any rule and that drives me insane. How am I supposed to know how to pronounce the words if I don't have rules to follow? >_<

I never though you can separate it in that way. I was thinking it in the spanish way: a-we-so-me. And the "e" in Spanish aren't silent.
Ah, of course. Yeah, it helps knowing how to "separate" the words. There is a bunch of words in English that ends in "-some" and they basically mean "causes some X". Like, "troublesome" = "causes some trouble", "worrisome" = "causes some worry" (Is turn into Ys in the end of words, so there the Y turns back into an I. Kinda like beauty => beautiful).
Here "Awesome" = "causes some awe". Awe means admiration.

I never had any troubles with troublesome and worrisome, ironically. But I totally forgot the word Awe. Well...
Keep it on topic (Or at least trying): Again, please god they have their own names. While I'm not complaining if they are called with other full form of Sam and Max. Just don't be Samuel and Maximilian. While... it's somewhat common in some families to name the kid the same way of the father, like my dad it's called the same way as my grandfather, and my grandfather is called the same way as my great-grandfather....
Damn, I won't be at home on 18th, why Telltale, why?!
Remember, they release the games when everybody in the office IS in the office. Which pretty much means the 18th after 12:00 in Telltale Office. For me is new game at the end of the day. For you probably will mean the 19th in the morning or something like that.
Maybe they should add in a Max striptease. Then if you like him fully clothed you don't do it, but if you rather have him loose his pants (or... more!), watch the show!
Ep 2 iPad won't be releasing in the same time window as the other platforms.
There's not a set date locked in at this point.

Heh. First we had all the complaints about the early Episode 1 release for iPad... guess we'll now be hearing complaints from the iPadders that everyone else gets Episode 2 first!

Thanks Avistew. I knew one day my half decent internet spelling would eventually be called out. And I agree, remembering all the 'rules' that surround languages can be a pain in the butt. That's just the way things are I guess.
Thanks again and sorry if I wasted your time on something silly like spelling.

No problem I always like when people put "(sp?)" or "(spelling?)" or "(is that how you spell it?)" in their posts because then I can correct them without sounding like an annoying spelling nazi
I mean, if you ask for it... I'm just being helpful, really

We update ONE DAY after the US, yet we get it the week after! Sony Europe are just dicks.
Also, now that Old Max has pants, seems there's no longer a special place where he keeps his weapons.
At first I was
Maximus?
French: Maxime, Maximilien, Maxence
English: Maximilian, Maxwell
... And that's it for the male ones. And people have mentioned Maximus, which I guess is Latin.

"Awesome"?
That's the only reason why I hate this word
I don't have a problem with that one. It's "awe" + "some". Straightforward for me. What are you having a problem with?

Ok, I'm not complaining at all...
It's not like I'm expecting that to happen...
Considering you're in the UK, it might come out on the 19th your time, anyways.
Here in Europe the games usually come out around 9PM, sometimes even earlier.

Any word on the iPad release? I loved playing The Penal Zone on the plane, in front of the tv, in bed, etc.

Steam version. Will be released at the same time I think.
Long live Telltale....

Don't worry. You help me out ^^!
No problem
