    Well, I guess its time to put in "Back to the Future (1985)" in 15 minutes.
    Just to be up to date by the time of the release.

    TTG needs to put a clock for THEIR time zone up on the top of the page....

    Mino_Dan, what did you mean by these forums are as dead as a graveyard in the other thread?

    Something to speculate about here, IMDB is listing Rebecca Schweitzer as one of the voices of the game. Rebecca previously played the roles of "Mole girl" (Nefratiti/Bubbles) in The Devil's Playhouse and "Mona" in A Vampyre Story, as well as some voices for Telltale's CSI Games.

    Now, we all know that IMDB is a bad place to get casting information, but it's interesting that her name came up. I mean, it would seem logical that she would have a role given her relationship with Telltale, and I really enjoyed her performance in The Devil's Playhouse. Who could she be voicing? Lorraine, maybe?

    He meant his ability of giving metaphors is as bleak as a Christmas tree that has only one single leaf, sitting alone on one of its branches and waiting for falling on soft ground to dissolve with peace.

    So exited, been watching one part each saturday for the last couple of weeks to refresh the plot.
  • edited December 2010
    Do we know what time it will be released?

    Should be midnight in the UK ;)
  • edited December 2010
    If it's midnight then that was 15 mins ago !
  • edited December 2010
    It will most likely be released during Telltale's office hours on 22 December 2010, US Pacific Time.


    CURRENT TIME IN SAN FRANCISCO AT THE LINK

    It will probably (but not definitely) be released before 5:00pm 22 December. That's around 25 hours from the time of this post.
  • edited December 2010
    Oh man I hope it's not long. I'm going out tomorrow night and I want to play this first :)
  • edited December 2010
    You sure?

    I am pretty sure it's about 20 hours, not 25.
  • edited December 2010
    My "25 hours" indicated the time until the approximate end of normal office hours, 5:00pm, on the 22nd.

    Oh good, for a moment there I thought you meant to divide by zero.
  • edited December 2010
    So... 18-24 hours unless things go as badly as with 305?
  • edited December 2010
    Oh well. Have fun with your episode guys!
  • edited December 2010
    It would be sweet if it gets released at midnight. I'm stay up to see if it does.
  • edited December 2010
    Good thing I read this thread; almost forgot about my ~ANGST~ when I stayed up 'til 3 AM to play Poker Night and then found out about TTG's release methodology.

    I'll just be studying Arabic and perusing I Kill Giants, then.
  • edited December 2010
    geez I'm as impatient as you guys but I live in that time zone, it's only 8pm right now so you have another 4 hours to go lol i'm currently watching the 3rd movie on blu-ray to kill some time. so here's to the waiting game and hope to see you in the future.....or in the past.
  • edited December 2010
    Ok so its now December 22 can I download the game now. I pre-ordered it and wondering why there is now download link yet.
  • edited December 2010
    Anyone wanna hedge some bets as to what TIME it actually gets released? I'm gonna say no sooner than midnight PST just to make sure at least MOST of the US is already at the date of 12/22. Hopefully not Hawaii time though =P
  • edited December 2010
    Has Telltale ever released a game at Midnight PST? I can't recall any. Usually it's some time after noon PST.

    See my post above. Pacific Standard Time. Don't expect the game before noon PST, and probably not until 2-4 hours after that.

    sorry about that. We must of posted at the same time.
  • edited December 2010
    Yeah I figured as much. It's not like a physical copy where it's in the store the day BEFORE release and it's up to the retailer to make it available for purchase. Someone at Telltale has to actually enable the upload. Anyone know the size of the game and how good their servers are? Just curious. This is my first time buying anything from Telltale but I'm just too much of a BTTF fan to pass it up =)

    Well, if the last Sam and Max season is any indication the downloads will be somewhere between 300 and 500 MBs per episode.
  • edited December 2010
    to those wondering about the episodes being released exactly after midnight, there have been a few episodes of sam and max and monkey island that were more than likely auto-enabled at the stroke of midnight, which this release could very well be, they could have the server primed and waiting for a timer to go off (much like the comment about about a retailer having them the night before) so we'll see how it goes, as i live in PST time zone and at posting this it is still only:

    well an hour and a half until it hits midnight and turns to the 22nd. there's still no telling if the email to download will be massively sent out, but seeing as they seemed to mention it would be available globally upon release, its probable. we shall see.

    I'll be honest, I don't ever remember that happening. At least not in recent memory. The last few episodes of "Devil's Playhouse" and "Poker Night" were all added during the day. Not saying an automatic release didn't ever happen, just that I don't remember it happening recently, so I wouldn't get your hopes up (though I'd sure like to play BTTF first thing in the morning :D).
  • edited December 2010
    well i cant say it's true for sam and max recently, but the previous seasons and monkey island i do remember it happening. But alas with some yes i had to wait till i woke up the next day to see it available.
