Comic Con 2007

edited August 2007 in General Chat
Who's coming this year? Anything in particular you want to see? Got a booth?

I'll be bringing my copies of Sam & Max and Day of the Tentacle for the appropriate people at the Telltale booth to sign. My buddy wants to buy a boxed Monkey Island just so Dave can sign it!

I wish I had something strictly Telltale to get signed as well. Maybe i'll print out the frontpage of the forums and have Emily sign it...

    We'll have lots of the things usually sold in our online store for sale at the booth, so, if it came down to it, you could get some stuff there :)

    I trust the person doing the signing will have a say in the matter as well?

    Many of the Telltale staff people posted in the "Who will draw the best Max" thread. You could print out some of those :D

    In addition to Steve and Dave G., Mike Stemmle and Chuck Jordan will be hanging out at the booth at various points during the show... so plan accordingly. :D

    We'll be posting details about our Comic-Con comings and goings on the blog, probably next week.

    Cool. Hope I'll be able to coordinate with my booth to make it out there and meet some folks. What number will it be?

    EDIT: (the obvious answer is wait for the comic-con blog)

    Our booth is number 635.
  • TelltaleToolTelltaleTool
    edited July 2007
    There's a secret code behind our booth number... Take the decimal ASCII codes for "Sam&Max" and add them up and you get 621. Add 14, which is two ASCII 'Bell' characters to represent the time Telltale employees will be arriving at the convention center (9am) as expressed in shipboard bell time codes, and you get our booth number, 635!

    Sorry if I missed the answer to this, but:

    I am going to the COmic-Con on Friday only (and of course pick up some cool Sam & Max stuff and the Bone CD), but would like to get my Surfin' the Highway signed by Mr. Purcell :) Will he be available to sign stuff on Friday or Saturday only?

    Heroes Game Will Be Announced at Comic-Con
    Game developer Ubisoft if finalizing a deal with NBC to get the rights to develop a video games based on 'Heroes'. Variety is reporting that the company and or studio is likely to announce the game at the San Diego Comic-Con later this week.
    Source: http://www.heroes-tv.com/modules/news/article-1894.html

    Sooo... Since Telltale takes care of CSI for Ubisoft.. does this mean it might just happen they'll hire Telltale to do the Heroes game? Now, that would be awesome!

    Ubisoft has already bought the Lost licence as well.. And thinking, just thinking as Telltale is looking after licences to develop games for...and they have already gotten such good contact with Ubisoft.... It might just happen they'll be hired in to do those two as well. Oh, and I hope both licences will be made into adventure games, anyway.

    Lost is already being developed by someone (the Ubisoft studio in Montreal) for X360, PS3 and PC. They're showing a trailer at Comic Con (very soon as a matter of fact, like in 30 minutes). It sounds like an action/adventure game to me.

    Dude, what new merch did they have? Use words like shiny, and grand!

    I kinda wish now I'd asked Steve about the comic where Max is replaced with a monkey. I think the camera crew kind of made me uneasy. Every time I said something, I noticed the camera turn into my face.
    'Twas fun, though :) I got the Season One poster and a big surreal print of Sam and Max. They are now framed and going to be hung on my wall in a decorative manner pending my move to a new house next week.
    Til' then, seeya.

    It sounds like you had a great time at Comic Con, Allen. I hope that you swiped a whole bunch of free stuff. I noticed a printed copy of the Telltale Interloper, Sam & Max Buttons, and other assorted items in your photos. I'm envious, really. I wish that I could have gotten away to attend Comic Con this year. Oh, well, maybe next year.

    By the way, I'm still waiting on the monkey comic, too. Who knows, maybe Steve will finish it in time for the revised edition of Sam & Max Surfin' the Highway.

    will the telltale interloper, those buttons, the surreal print and others stuff be coming to the telltale store too? I just know about the book and poster print art cover that will be coming for sure! Please say they will! If anyone at telltale sees this .. can I purchase some if you have any left over? Ive been dying for telltale items and s & m items!

    What a rush. Our booth went great, I won't reveal how great but lets just say our expenses were more than covered... which certainly wasn't the case at Wondercon. I didn't make it to any panels and didn't see all the things I wanted because of how glued to the booth I was, but I managed to get my Sam & Max and Day of the Tentacle signed by the proper folks, chat with Emily and finally meet Jake (who somehow knew I was from Something Awful).

    Good times. Can't wait to listen to my Season 1 soundtrack.

    The surreal print I got from Steve (ran out of cash, couldn't afford the sketchbook) can be seen on my Flickr account.

    Sorry about the mess in pic 1, I'm currently in the middle of moving.
    And yes, that is the Scottish Royal Banner behind the frame.

    We had tons of the printed interloper left over but I'm not sure how many Jake is bringing back (he doesn't have a ton of extra space in the car). The buttons are the same ones that are in the case file, and the print Allan bought is the now out-of-print Office print that we no longer have in the store. Steve had a few left over and those were the ones he was selling.

    Just curious - if we have extra interlopers and put them in the store, how many of you would buy them? (And for how much?) They're Comic-Con specific so they'll be outdated, but they are sort of a collector's item. :D (Unfortunately we can't just add them to the store for free because we have to pay Digital River and the warehouse money to have them available.)

    How low can you go?

    Also, is it printed on newsprint?

    You could always give them away with orders!
  • MelMel

    $2.00 to $3.00 (I don't know if that would cover costs).
  • fajerkaosfajerkaos

    I'd love one...
    But I'll already ordered and are waiting for the Surfin' The Highway reprint before making more orders, I hope that the new poster and sketchbook no.2 is still in stock then by the way, and I guess that I would pick up The Interloper for a few bucks too, if it was available.
  • HaggisHaggis
    edited July 2007
    I'm sorry, but I wouldn't buy an Interloper separately. If it was thrown in with something else, I would consider it though.

    And I must say, that button looks great, that will definitely end up on my messenger bag as soon as I get the case file. :D
  • EmilyEmily Telltale Alumni

    Don't be sorry. I asked because I wasn't sure if anyone would pay for it, and if no one would, then it's not worth it for us to put them in the store. ;)

    They would probably have to be ~$3 for us to recoup our costs, but that's just a guess, I haven't done the math.

    Actually I was going to recommend making a printed Telltale newspaper/magazine and selling it on subscription like Sierra did with their Interaction magazine. I would be willing to subscribe to it, if it was made on a monthly or quarterly schedule. :) $4.99 or so per edition sounds fairly reasonable to me.

    How about shipping out an Interloper with orders over $15 or something?
