News made me remember the old time forums ... Am I the only one who remebers This?
Funny ... when I heard the news I immediately remembered this post from early 2008 in a thread titled "Places to go in Sam & Max: Season 3" , I wasn't even registered in the forums by then and I browsed these forums as a guest 
:
Heads up; 5 quotes are coming back to the future! and they are icy cold!:
reading this makes me nostalgic
It's amazing.In that time I didn't know any of you and after reading your post for 3 years it's like I know lot's of you guy ... and lots of you have changed your avatars and signatures but I can remember you from your names.
it's like we're family I miss tabacco and Emily 
Anyone else shares my feelings about old times? the times when ttforums had less members and TTstaff were friendlier?

It's downright scary how many 80's B-movie references there are on this site (and more amazing how many of us recognize them all!)
I can acctually see them hijacking the train behidn their office and converting it for time-travel! "Max stop eating the sesame seeds or we'll be traped in ancient greece forever!!!" "aaaaand that's a problem why?" lol

I tried to think of a time travel joke for that but I couldn't.
You kids now days with your 10 available franchises... and 35 game episodes to date *shakes cane wildly* you kids would not know games or good graphics if they flew through the window and hit you in the head... now these are games
But in all seriousness... this *IS* a very bad idea, games based on movies rarely work... and lets not forget that 2 of the 3 major video game flops of all time were based on universal pictures, mainly because of their interference in the game making process
Im optimistic that telltale can break the mold and create something cool... but still, i have a bad feeling about this
Well, let me put it this way.
in my opinion TellTale has gone through 2 eras;
First era was from mid 2006 till the end of 2008
when we only had Texas Hold'em, Bone, S&M 1&2 and SBCG4AP and W&G weren't out yet
There were Tabbaco and Emily, members were less and forums less crowded, TTstaff had time to make beautiful Trailers and fun videos which I really miss and everyone were happy.
it was like 70's for TellTale community of fans and staff
And the second era is 2009 till present
Which you see all these moderators around and all these new games and telltale not doing any fun videos.Friendly staff are all gone now (except Jake, which I hope he stays here forever) and the new kid (nikasur something?) is Trying to be friendly but is just acting as a friendly looking host for Saturday morning cartoons who uses the F-Word thousand times backstage ...
and the appearance of Majus and co, no disrespect for them but I associate their entrance in the forums with the begining of the bad times and there for I kinda hate them too ... it's a subconscious kind of thing ... don't be mad at me.
and dear Mix'n'Mojo has changed it's beautiful theme just so it attracts these new kids.Now I now this isn't related but, why did you did it Mojoers? You where beautiful as you were, you were my only place that resembled the first era of TellTale and the old theme was very warm and welcoming.
You (the new kids) might say: "This is new times Granpa! Deal with it ..."
and I say No I won't and I still hoping for TellTale to go and remember the old times and at least make things look like the old times, just like Valve does... Yeah, me too, I also hope that they will not forget about quality over the quantity ...
You know what I will add a pool to this thread and I want you all forumlancers to vote Which era was better?
(everyone's invited, new kids and the old kids (You too JP-30
Just this point, from what I've seen of the Telltale staff's post they all seem friendly. So they don't post as much, hell that just means they're busier and they still try their best to get on here and answer our questions or just take part in the banter. Just 'cos you don't see them don't make them not friendly.
... *sniff*...
I didn't mean I hate you, it's just whenever I see you guys I miss the old times ...
Friends? This is the only thing I'm talking about, I do see all the moves forward for TellTale, but my ultimate fear is what you just remarked ... Really? I thought they just became moderators, well congratulations guys!
But I do still miss the videos TellTale guys used to made Less Time they have=less friendship is bounded yeah but a smaller community is like a village, everyone knows each other and cares for each other Did I say they're not creative and they're a bad team?
I DEEPLY believe in them and their creativity, that's why I care for them.
it's my love that makes me write such posts filled with anger, I want them to improve.not as the way MusicallyInspired said move backwards like LucasArts.
Majus and Suro have taken the trip over the big ocean to become Telltale interns, although that's not actually the title TTG gave them in the "Tomb of Sammun-Mak" credits. The internship will probably end somewhen soon. I really hope for them to one day find their place among the core TT staff.
We're cool
But to give my sincere opinion, I'm not much a fan of Majus's drawing style ... Don't like them much, but he has good (not great, good) comedic writing abilities and he can be a good gag man to make games funnier, among Brilliant gags from Mark Darin (I want a Nick Bounty game made by telltale!) and Dave Grossman .
Blasphemy! Heretic!! Grab your pitchforks!!
...nah, kidding, to each his own
When I heard about their strong bad game I was suspicious (what in the world are they doing making a homestar runner game?) but in the end the game was fun enough for a run through when I got a coupon from MI for half off or something (long delay between hearing about and playing since I had no previous interest).
Speaking of MI, I totally flipped out when I heard they were doing that! I couldn't be more pleased.
They had W&G, and honestly I was rather unimpressed by that one.
When they announced this grickle game, I'm like ok, I've never heard of this, but it sounds right up my alley.
When I saw the announcement of Back to the Future and Jurassic Park, I was just kind of stunned. A Back to the Future game? A Jurassic Park game? The last Jurassic Park game I played was some action adventure isometric view from 1993/94, and it was junky. I've never even played a Back to the Future game as far as I know.
My thought here is what in the world is Telltale doing making a game about Jurassic park? I can't believe it will be an adventure game (imo the best genre). That doesn't seem to fit ether IP. What in the world are they going to do? Will it end up like their CSI Games? Will they pull a rabbit out of their hat? It certainly won't be BAD, but I'm very suspicious.
IMO I'd rather see them resurrect Full Throttle, or hit up another series of MI, or some other fascinating adventure IP. Maybe an adventure horror like my favorite (Freeware) series 5 Days a Stranger.
Tldr: I'm cynical but waiting to see what they're gonna do.
And Majus and Suro are doing a great job at Telltale. They are cutscene makers extraordinaire! (Or chore guys or whatever)
I take particular issue with this, the Staff are incredibly friendly. Nika is lovely and honest (opposed to an earlier suggestion, Sean Vanaman is a stand-up awesome guy as is Shaun Finney.
Of course as the company becomes bigger the distance between fans and the staff will increase, this hasn't affected TTG much overall.
Hey, that me! Thanks!
I can't think of anything negative about Nikki, except that she hasn't been here in a while. She's awesome. And I find her that awesome even though she's female! That's saying something.
Besides, more people on the forums translates into more fans (and thus money) for Telltale.
Sorry for talking like that about Nikasur, but I was really angry about the new era, and as for anything else, I clarified lots of things in my 3rd post.
I am kinda worried that the BTTF/JP games will change the balance (i can see alot of JP fans being incredibly annoyinng to begin with), but post release, their ranks will dwindle, leaving mainly worthwhile members, with constructive things to say.
Like at Launch night for any of the games, their are crazy numbers online, but you rarely see them post other times.
Monkey Island changed things a lot. There was an influx of pessimists and harsh critics.
Seconded. The nostalgia debate has always bugged me. Be it here or on another site. It's sour grapes because of elitism. Be it by the people who feel things are going poorly or by the people entering the community. The high and mighty attitude needs to be dropped. While people will have disagreements there is no reason why the community can't be as tightly knit as everyone claims it was. So there are more of us that are new. If one of us is a frequent ass, just ignore us but that is no reason to down the whole community or to down on the company. It's something they have no control over.
I don't think anyone is THAT harsh of a critic. At least nothing I have read so far. I know a lot of MI fans are incredibly passionate about the games, myself included. And only want the best for the series, but there is nothing wrong with expecting the best. It's good to always strive for something better. And I'm sure when it comes down to it, almost all of them are ecstatic to have another game in the series to play. Besides, I figure having people debate and discuss the game in detail is good for the producers, because it's a way to get feedback for future endeavors, making them even more successful.
Telltale, listen to this man! Only call them airships. Sounds cooler.
And for the most part they disappeared after the first episode actually came out. We've all just gots to weather the storm, people!
Besides which, Winslow and Alemenopolous did not exist before 2009. Conversation over.
I think you don't have to worry about that as much with the BttF fans. I believe there's a LOT of crossover when it comes to BttF fans and fans of point-and-click adventure games. You ask any fan of BttF what some of their all time favorite games are, Sam and Max and Day of the Tentacle are very likely to be on that list somewhere.
Jurassic Park on the other hand...... That movie is such a different beast. That's a lot odder of a mix with TellTale's games.
I've visited several forums over the years. Some I no longer go to, some I still frequent. I was very glad when I discovered this place; I don't know how the residents felt (and/or still feel) about my "intrusion" or whatever. For me it's a fun place with fun people, to talk about fun stuff.
Sometimes?!
We wish you wouldn't hog the darn peanuts!
