Of course! What better way to celebrate that finals are over? I'm thinking of doing Hit the Road on Saturday, the 18th, and then (hopefully) play the TTG seasons during the following week. I haven't decided on a detailed schedule yet but I'll get back to you. That's something I recommend all participants to do, by the way - it makes it way easier for your spectators (and competitors) to plan ahead!
I'm pretty sure you can join, Supersonic. There will probably be more drop-outs before we're done. But perhaps you shouldn't take my word for it; the big bosses are GuruGuru and Icedhope.
I'll be broadcasting Hit the Road tomorrow (Saturday, 18th) at 6PM 8PM GMT/UCT. (Time changed, I didn't expect my mum's birthday party to go on for this long.)
Hopefully, I'll be able to continue with Season 1 in its entirety the day after, the 18th, at 12AM GMT.
I'm a little wary of setting the rest in stone, sorry. I'll be moving to a new place first thing in January, so it's difficult to know how much time will be free. I'm glad we have a few weeks to finish!
What time will you be broadcasting, TheGentleman? If it doesn't collide with mine, I'd like to come and watch for a while.
Seeing as that's when most seem to be starting, I too shall start tomorrow, probably with Culture Shock at either 5pm or 7pm GMT, depending on how other things pan out that day. Then I'll play Secret of MI later on.
I shall broadcast again via LiveStream, username tbm1986, only channel under my name.
You'd think I would've been perceptive enough to know that if the dates were wrong on one post, they'd be wrong on the post I copied and pasted into. Yep, you'd think. I'll get that cleared up.
I'm sorry, I've been very busy with work so I haven't been paying attention to these forums at all (omg blasphemer!). I'm afraid my only chance at some R&R is these days before Christmas and I really would prefer to not spend them playing Sam & Max.
I'm also going to be very on and off in January and I'm really sorry if I'm causing you any problems but I will just have to un-sign from this race.
Again I'm terribly sorry but I have no control of my schedule :-(
Yeah, there seems to be some jumping of the gun going on here, but it's no big deal. Yes, the race is technically supposed to start on Monday. And imagine my surprise when it turned out that I'd scheduled the races to start on the release day for Back to the Future (and two months before it was announced)!
@Caeska: Good! Means the rest of us have a fighting chance of getting the best times now! Only kidding. You're a pleasure to mingle with in the community.

Unfortunately the office I work for only closes for the public holidays (in the UK this year, this is 25th-28th Dec and 1st Jan) so I hope you (GG and IH) don't mind if I get these episodes for both races done when I can.
I plan to do S&M 102 tonight but if you'd rather I didn't, then I won't.
I know this is early, but with work going on the way it is...I don't think I run in the race. I can definetly, manage it though, but..running..I can not.
Aw, everyone's dropping out. I'll check out your stream when you've started playing, tbm1986, if it doesn't get too late in the night.
My original post got eaten by the forums. I'm not sure I remember my time for Hit the Road, but I think it was 2:03:36. Then again, the game doesn't auto-quit so it can't have been perfectly accurate in the first place. And perhaps the HtR times aren't even considered in the official race.
I also said that I was going to save Season 1 for Monday, since that's when the race was originally going to start (I too thought it was today for some reason). But now that GuruGuru has made it official, I will play tomorrow (Sunday the 19th) at 12 PM GMT. If anyone's interested, please drop by, even for just a little bit. I had 0 visitors for Hit the Road.
Feel free to watch, Harald! Unfortunately though, I cannot chat and get a reasonable time at the same time. For that reason, as a general rule, I don't respond to IMs during play. Apologies to the person that spoke to me earlier.

Hehe thanks
But you should easily be able to beat my times from the last race because I was slacking all the way through baby.
I'll catch you on the streams if i can!
Being almost on time for a change, I'm starting Culture Shock in just a few moments. Will do a test run first, to make sure there aren't any technical hiccups. Today, I'll play as many episodes of the first season as possible - hopefully all five.
Edit: Okay, this wasn't my lucky day. After struggling with a few game crashes and an uncooperative Procaster, I finally got the game and live stream running simultaneously. I used my mobile phone to time the playthrough, and about ten minutes before the end of episode one, it ran out of battery power. So basically, I've finished Culture Shock but I have no final time to enter into the race. Meh, it's just as well, I had a terrible finishing time. Probably spent 20 minutes trying to find one particular inventory item. I'll have another go on Tuesday December 21, 12 PM GMT.
Edit again: I suppose that counts as a re-run. Can you do the re-runs even if you haven't finished the rest of the race? (I don't intend to use all my four re-runs anyway; this is just to ensure I have a finishing time at all.)
Finished 103 in 50 mins. This was partly due to the lockups I was getting in the factory in the final act. Starting 104 at about 9:30pm GMT (in about an hour, so 1330 Telltale Time).
Seeing as a TV programme isn't on this week that usually is, I'm starting 104 earlier than I planned. Give me a minute and I'll be broadcasting. Sorry if that means someone misses me.

I'm still looking forward to this!

and for after the race, 103 has always been a favourite to me for some reason

I will start Hit the Road now, half an hour late...

I OFFICIALLY DECLARE THE SECOND GREAT SAM & MAX RACE OF 2010 OPEN.
