The City That Dares Not Sleep waiting thread

edited September 2010 in Sam & Max
All right this is going to be last waiting thread of the season, unless of course there is a sixth episode we don't know about. We're all excited about the upcoming release, and it's looming ever closer.

Naturally, whether it's the 30th already can depend where you are. If you're Australian it's been Monday for quite some time already, and if you're in the greater New York area, Virginia or Kansas it won't be Monday for a few more hours. But it's the 30th of August in Europe now and if people are following the European clock (which they should) then we can expect a release...soonish.

Well, probably not, but that's not going to stop us from being up all night. We are after all optimists, and besides; who can possibly sleep knowing that the soul-chilling finale of The Devil's Playhouse is nearly upon us?

So get the coffee ready (actually I've got Red Bull and Epinephrine injectors to keep me going for as long as it takes).
And remember to keep your fingers poised over the F5 button because this is technically the day it'll be released.

So during this 24-hour window, this thread should help alleviate some of the withdrawal symptoms some (read all) of you may be experiencing.

    You know, where Telltale is, it's only 5:00pm (17:00) on the 29th, right now. It's probably 15 hours until people are back in the office again.

    Great gouts of magma on a b-line straight for the orphanage! (favourite Sam quote) I knew I would be waiting a while, but that is a little longer than I was expecting. Ah well I can wait.Thanks for giving me an exact time, now I can count the minutes!

    In the meantime, perhaps I could tell you about all the dreams I had about Sam and Max, perhaps spoiling this game in the process?

    Hopefully, my day will go something like this: Get up early after a good night's sleep (which means getting to bed early, ha), start refresh monkeying on the games page until the game is posted, and then download it before Comcast comes out to change my internet around.

    It'll more likely be something like this: Get up earlier than normal, but still later than I wanted after going to bed too late and not getting enough sleep, manage to check the games page briefly before Comcast shows up and still see no game, then come back and check in the evening after the installation to find that the game still hasn't been posted, then wait around until 8 pm for it to be posted like we did with Tales.

    I have to finish the games as soon as possible, because the game usually launches at 12 for me, and have the dentist at 3. Godspeed telltale. GODSPEED.

    Their has been talk for some time as to whether this will be the sam and max finale as a series, and the anticipation is eating me alive. Part of me would want to let the series die in peace, but the other part knows TTG can keep it fresh for so long if they want to. And some people already think the series sied so its prettey much a-

    God forgive me

    "Haters gona hate" situation. Just keep making awesome games telltale.

    So.... whats up forums?

    What really stinks is that each episode takes about 40 minutes to download for me, and this looks like the biggest episode yet! Sigh...

    Dude! I woke up at 4.30 AM GMT+2! This means there are more than 5 hours for the midnight for those who live in US, and I'll probably wait 12 more hours for noon!

    Q_Q I'm standing with whoever wants to sit and wait in this thread.

    It is only 7:00am roughly. Telltale doesn't start working untill it is 5:00pm for me, so I have a few hours to wait. That is fine, I have school until 3:25pm. Then a bit more for them to put it up. Just do homework, stuff (like watch the trailer repeatedly) and have dinner. After that, a few minutes or so to download it. All this= The best 4 or so hours of Sam & Max EVER!

    Bigfish Games does midnight updates, but Telltale will probably keep us waiting till 6 or 8am when the employees come to work, whcih is when I'm just crawling into bed, so I get to wait untill noon-2pm before I get my hands on this sweet puppy.

    According to Wikipedia & MapQuest, Telltale is located in California, so they should have the same timezone as me, making it 12am.

    I really loved the first two seasons & hate to play favorites, but they really outdid themselves on Season 3 & I'm really gonna miss those psychic toys.

    Yeah, I am not going to start the F5-Fest untill it's at least 6PM here.

    301 was 9PM, 302 was 8PM, 303 I don't know (wasn't home back then when it was delivered) and 304 around 7PM. See a trend? :D

    So as soon as the episode is out, do we immediately start a season 4 speculation thread? lol.

    Hassat Hunter, your name makes me think of Morrowind for some reason, & Khajiits.

    Okey, anyone seen this September teaser trailer with Max & Strong Bad? http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-untitled-telltale/703721#comments_top

    Unless Sam and Max die a horrible dead 0_0.

    That's good :D. Though Morrowind is the wrong RPG, and Khajit the wrong humanoid cat.;)

    I'm hoping it would be out by at least 2AM PDT since I'm in the same time zone :). IIRC, episode 4 or others was available between 12-2am on the morning it was released (I distinctly remember not sleeping because I was playing the game). Well, ~8 more minutes until it's 2am. I guess we'll see soon.

    Don't know why I expected this to be in my games at this time of day. :(

    perhaps just that small ray of hope...

    That reminds me of the animation Majus made and put on forums before the release of ToMI Ep 5.

    I wish I could find some way of keeping you entertained until 305 is released, but I've got nothing. So I'll just post this video of a monkey scratching himself.

    Meh, Morrowind is SO much better than Oblivion IMO. Bethesda really screwed up there, and I dropped that game pretty fast. Kind of sucky seeing how I even got the collector's edition hoping it would be like MW :(.

    I like the DS'es though, and yeah, can't wait to see what Obsidian does with it.

    EDIT: For all "Are we there yet", possible time of delivery: 6 HOURS LEFT.

    Yep, it's 3:30 over there. I guess that's an estimated release time of 9 AM?

    Also, that means it's 4:30 here. I haven't slept much for three days, so I should probably get the hell out of this thread and go to bed.

    That was the time of 304. Although it was earlier released (and somewhat unexpectededly soon) so it should probably be counted as the minimum time, expect it to be later (and be happy if it ain't :D).
