Because this doesn't just avoid being entirely embarrassing for everyone involved, but was the first Telltale-related promo video that I've actually ENJOYED in far, far too long!

Thanks man. Some other guys did the Sale of Monkey Island video, which is still the butt of jokes here and there. The brass asked me to "have fun with this" and here's what happens.
May as well roll out the credits:
Victim: Eric Jacobus
TTG Guy: Me
DVD Guy: Lazar Levine
Soundtrack Guy: Nick Maestroianni (from Envelotech)
Print Guy: Ryan Jones
Book Guy: Seg
Shirt Guy: Jeff Sarre
Toy Guy: Joshua Viloria
Narrator: AJ Locascio
Shot by my friends Lucas Okuma and Stacie Rachel, also sound by Stacie.
Okay, this was fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I know everyone else and their grandmother has already said how great this was, but it totally bears repeating.

No love for the back of Jake Rodkin's head?
Also, I recognize most of the Angry Telltales, but who are the three standing between you and Dan Connors?
Shaun, in the words of Sean Khannery, whose name you also ripped off, you ahh a liah sah! It twas not you who engaged in that epic battle! It was me, in all my powdered glory! And I have pics to prove it!
Examine if you will, this shot from the scene. The person is clearly me, Amadeus, wearing a powdered wig. The trailer is obviously a clever CGI forgery.

Someone, clearly, spent too much free time with Photoshop.
I ordered the S&M blowout bundle and now it's showing as canceled in my account, but I didn't receive an e-mail about it, nor did I appear to get refunded that amount. More importantly I really want that bundle, lol. What's going on here?
Haha, I use firefox. But when I used my capture software to demonstrate, typing in telltalegames.com brought up all the suggested searches (which include not-for-public telltale intranet locations). Since I was too rushed (and dumb) to mask them out or turn off that option in firefox late Sunday night, I opted to launch the browser on my computer which I never use, IE6.
About 30 minutes later my work machine had malware on it
What, you think I can track down and kick ALL of you in the face?
This is disappointing. I was getting all prepared for a battle of epic proportions and now I have to go digging through my harddrive. I even had the soundtrack picked out too...

I see what's going on here. You're trying to catch me off guard! No sir, your tricks won't work on me. I'm ready for you. Prepare for the most epic battle of your life! Prepare for Mortal Kombat!
Essentially, I think it's entirely fair for customers to not only feel cheated as a whole, but to take a I'll believe it when I see it, actions speak louder than words, especially the words of liars approach to the situation.
Now, now, I think you're being unfair. I think they're less liars and more people who happen to be wrong a lot. I'm sure they promised things they thought they could deliver at the time.
About the video, it's awesome. Dashing linked me to it. My reaction was "is that Jake?" to which Dashing replied "Mh? Jake isn't in there, well, apart from the back of his head". Duh, that's what I meant. So that's him?
I'm not sure how good of a plan it is to threaten customers to beat them up if they buy your products, but the video is awesome either way.
Still, there isn't anything I want to buy. Well, I wanted to pre-order PA2, but a) it's not covered by the sale, and b) when I entered my code it suddenly wanted me to pay for PA1, and full price for PA2, so I figure I can wait until it's not in pre-orders anymore. Plus my coupon if for like 60 or 70 bucks and I keep worrying that if I spend less than that the rest will be gone forever.
Anyways! Awesome vid, Shaun, and everyone who starred in it. And good sale, but I can't think of anything I'd want to buy that I don't already have anyways, so oh well.
I was going to buy the Monkey Island blowout deal but it seems I won't be getting that now. I'll be getting a T-shirt but I feel justice has been served to me.

Thank you for that, Shaun.

That is a work of genius.
And Mike Stemmle's face towards the end is absolutely hysterical.
You, Shauntron, just won the internet.
My order status for the Sam and Max blowout bundle now reads "Sam and Max Blowout Bundle (canceled).
Is this something to worry about?

EDIT: Fixed, I hope!
I like it. Nice and minimalistic!
...Actually, I can't see anything. I think your image might be broken. Or maybe my computer is taunting me. Again.

Yes. Shaun DID.
I just watched the anniversary sale video... The fighting was Epic! There are a lot of little touches that make the video awesome sauce.
Great work!
