    Telltale HQ is in the same time-zone as Los Angeles, am I right ?

    You're right!

    We don't know yet exactly what time we'll release it. For sure sometime between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. ;)

    Without wanting to sound greedy and with apologies if this has already been asked a hundred times (didn't find it): how come there are "only" five episodes to season two? do they get longer? do you want to be finished by the time the weather gets nicer? can't you count up to six anymore? is it random? i'm just interested

    I'm afraid I'm going to have to avoid this thread until tomorrow incase any spoilers are posted from the Gametap crowd! :D

    Many people on the team, including the designers, thought five episodes would work better from a story and player experience standpoint.

    The episode length will be more on par with the longer episodes of last season (more like Abe Lincoln Must Die than Situation: Comedy length), and the story is more complex, so when all's said and done I think the experience will be better than last season and everyone will get their money's worth. :D

    Want... NOW!.... Grr, I somehow thought it would be today (8th) when Season 2 will be released. So another day of Minesweeper for me :).

    Is it possible to buy the whole Season in Advance... and all others that may come? :o

    I really can't believe that there's going to be more SnM just around the corner, oh boy oh boy oh boy...


    Another thing: Have you figured out a way to give the Season Pass as a present to friends? That didn't work too well on the last season...



    Can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait!


    Phoo

    We're working on gifting options, but even before those are ready, we're using a serial number system this year that will make giving the season to a friend much easier. You'll see it in action tomorrow. :D

  • edited November 2007

  • edited November 2007

  • edited November 2007
    IGN gave it an 8.0 http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/833/833687p1.html

    I'm really horrible when it comes to spoilers especially with Sam & Max.

    Good thing I lost connection when the page was loading (crappy wireless). It's a sign!
  • edited November 2007
    it's the 9th today, right? right? so where is my sam&max??
    stupid time zone stuff...ohh, on the other hand..it should be out when i get home from work. i hope i get a good download speed then..this will probably be the longest 9hours (or more) of my life..at least until now..
  • edited November 2007
    Mh, did I miss something? No "Complete Season 2" pre-order? Or will that go up with the download to S2E1?
  • edited November 2007
    I just checked exchange rates and with the soaring Canadian dollar I'm only going to be paying $32.46 for Season Two!
    When I paid for Season One this time last year it was just under $40 Canadian
  • edited November 2007
    from the time of this post it is 7 hours till 9am on the west coast... i hope this helps
  • edited November 2007
    how awesome! season 2 will cost me only 23.75€, about 4 or 5€ less than season one. thank you, collapsing dollar :D
  • edited November 2007

    (we didn't do pre-orders this year, but buying the 'season set' will of course be available when Ice Station Santa goes up)
  • edited November 2007
    Well, I'm one of the lucky ones, because I have to work on a website all day today as a suplimentory portion to an art piece. When I come back, the game will be out, and TTG will have $35 of mine! I feel bad for the ones that are sitting on pins and needles waiting for the release. Then again, I feel bad knowing I spent my entire paycheck on just entertainment this month alone.
  • edited November 2007
    No food for this month then? lol
  • edited November 2007
    isn't food entertainment as well? at least it should be..

    Don't forget the Tax (19% in Germany)... it will be around 28 €, i think.

    *sigh*

    This happens with every episode.

    The Telltale office opens at 9am pacific time. They usually open up registration/release the game a few hours after that.

    My guess, 6 more hours until it is released.

    :(

    this makes me a sad panda.
