Will our saves still be valid? Just out of curiosity, since I'll be starting from the top to catch the missing lines anyway.
Even if they work I wouldn't recommend using them, because I know from experience that saves made in beta versions lead to weird problems in release versions (due to bugs that existed when the save was made and were fixed by the time the final build came out).
I've been told that GameTap will provide instructions for how to clear out old saves when the new version is up.
I ordered the full season 2 of sam and max the 9th of november, it said that I would be able to download episode 2 the 10th of january AND NOW YOU TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT ONE MORE DAY ! I didn t pay for the 11th I paid for the 10th. So I want my episode 2 RIGHT NOW or I gonna come all the way from Paris to eat your first-born.

Relax, it was an error on the page. Gametap always gets it a day before the general release.

Last season Gametap got episodes a week early and people who purchased the full season got them a day ahead of the standalone release. So naturally we expected the January 10th date to be accurate.

ill have what he is having... with a side of fries
P.S. GT = 2nd Thursday of the month... TT = 2nd Friday of the month... simple enough?
I celebrate every release of a new sam and max episode by sacrifying a dog and a rabbit. I already killed them today, how am I supposed to find another pair before tomorrow?
Ow, by the way, you re right it just a small error, just a #@!# insignificant error like mistaking a blender for a cradle.
Eze226: It's not a big deal. GameTap is the first service of it's kind, they are bound to make mistakes. And yelling at the TT guys is unneeded, they've bent over backwards for us numerous times.
By the way, when I read that Episode 202 available this friday, is it with the european or american time ?
It'll be released some time between 8 am and 5 pm Pacific Time (which is one of the "America time" timezones ). Probably in the earlier, morning half of that window, but that is the time span we're at work doing things like launching the game... so sometime in there!

In a way it is the first of its kind, in the area of a monthly fee giving you a large quantity of games. Though in the area of digital distribution, there are others that have done it, Steam being the most prominent of them.
Yeah, but GameTap is the first to offer legal emulation of a wide range of platforms through unique middleware. Whereas Steam only offers PC titles, and the middleware is similar to ones used in the past. (Don't know if it uses a virtual drive like GT does)
they have completely taken down the game from the client now... and it has been 8 hours since they first removed it, i am starting to get annoyied.... did the goons at GT loose the correct version or what?
i think the dowload is curropted or something... cause the game keeps crashing on both of my computers, and i just downloaded the thing as i posted that
EDIT: i just got a reply on the gametap forum... they are still having trouble getting the right version up, they will have more info in the AM....
well i guess this will truely be a worldwide launch then... as no one really saw the game today, and everyone is getting it for the first time tomorrow, and if the TT people get it before us i am going to be just a little steamed, (being as i did not buy the season set this year... vista cant read the combo disc from the 1st season on disc, so i dont see the point of it this year)

Not to get off topic, but the Season One DVD should be fully Vista compatible. I'm not sure if you've posted about this in the support forum already, but if not, please do.
Episode 2 works fine on gametap now and I just finished it, some of those puzzle were damn inventive , I like the new level of challenge thats coming this season.
I tried it in the morning and it worked alright although there were some odd events and things that changed. I didn't get stuck anywhere, but I didn't have time to finish it then as I had to go to a couple classes today. After the real version was patched in it worked 100%, I'm guessing it was just an earlier build with some bugs still in it. And just clicking "update" wont work, click the delete trashcan and then install it again.
Because the bastard of sun does not flood everywhere in the world at the same time, USA decided during the reign of idontrememberwho that they would not work during darklight, hence they decided to secretly rewind their clockworks and make as if the daytime was happening roughly during daylight.
This had the consequence of closing offices while at the same time (!!!) it was daylight in europe. Outrage, and despair cries from overseas were not affecting the tyrannic idontrememberwho and things were kept that way for the billion years.
Yep, that's right, idontrememberwho created jetlag as well, bastard.
anyway, wait until telltalegames employees wake up, take the coffee, prepare the good stuff and send the mails. IIRC they are located on the west coast, that should be roughly 9 hours shift from where you are, i guess the game should arrive by 19:00 NL time (i hope so).

I agree as well, though you also have to factor in the people that have to wait until tomorrow for the general release.
Yay!

But can I have a large soda with that?

Sorry Timmy.

More details will probably appear here as they're available: http://www.gametap.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12836&tstart=0
sounds kinky.
It'll be released some time between 8 am and 5 pm Pacific Time (which is one of the "America time" timezones
But, in fact, that means it will be available when I go back from work

The reason I have Gametap is because I'm too impatient to wait. This is killing me, especially since I got a small taste this morning.
EDIT: i just also tryed the game on my laptop, which i had not installed it on at all this morning... it also crashes as soon as i start the app

idontrememberwho and murphy both need to be hunted down and shot, what's Sam and Max's phonenumber?
(please? I enjoy downloading it before I go to school.)
