    My random gaming thoughts:
    I'm... err... this is embarrassing.... stuck on the
    first puzzle involving the line of zombiles
    ... oh boy! *gets back to playing*
    W.A.R.P TV? Hmm... I don't know how I feel about bringing back and old location like this...
    I miss Bosco and Flint! Maybe they'll come in later on...
    Ahh Flint, there you are! Awesome plot twist, by the way.

    Ok, just been playing, HAD to stop to say that on the
    shooting discs at zombies puzzle...
    very, very nice little homage to everyone's favourite british zombie comedy!
    "Stone Roses." "No." "Sign of the times." "DEFINITLY not!" "The Batman soundtrack." "Throw it!"
    :D

    Or is it a
    Paperboy reference
    ? You decide!

    great reference to A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. I wonder how many got that one :) Also, great references to Resident Evil:
    Sam: An ink ribbon? What do we need that for?
    Max: What we really need are some healing herbs

    I got to the point where I had to figure out
    how to make Jurgan uncool
    before I had to look at the walkthru because Max's hints were not hitting the mark with me. I mean, I got the Hit the Road refferance, and I knew what I had to do with said refferance, but getting to the location to do it completely didn't connect with me.

    Other than that, I was never good at Paperboy, but I loved the GTA stuff you had to do to get decals. :D

    For what it's worth, the e-mail I just got telling me that Night of the Raving Dead was available had the download link to Moai Better Blues. Fortunately, it also had the link to my My Telltale account, which contained the NotRD download link I desired.

    That was the best opening I've seen so far.

    Yeah, we noticed too late that the link in the text version was incorrect (it was correct in the html version). Sorry about that.

    I had the feeling the ink-ribbon comment was a reference to something zombie-related that I hadn't seen/played yet. Nice.
    Also, giving the Frau Blucher gag to Superball? Brilliant!

    Yes for me the zombie mini-game is a reference to
    paperboy
    , no doubt... but what makes me laugh out loud is the
    Mortal Kombat
    reference, just excellent... also the
    Frankenstein Junior
    one was really funny, I do love this kind of running gag (as much as the
    mexican happy birthday singer
    ).

    This episode was really cool, the script is getting better and better, wide new locations, animations are a lot better and there is more too (dancing Sam&Max, the slow and detailed
    soul sucker
    machine,
    flint's
    entry, max in the background trying to catch his
    soul
    ), it was just as difficult I would like it to be, I managed to finish it in about 4 hours without any external help but three very useful Max's tips... no really I'm happy :)

    And I love useless objects, and more when you have huge comments when you try to use them (like something like "yes I'm sure it would stop
    jesse jame's hand to shoot-up the place
    , if only it wasn't a useless typewriter ribbon")

    Anyone play the mini-game while being a zombie? Priceless!

    "Free CDs!"

    I think I would have liked it better if
    Sam and Max remained completely oblivious to the fact they were even walking different as a zombie, but I just really like the pose too.

    The opening 'in media res' reminds me of the one for Monkey Island 2, when Guybrush tells his story...

    'Kay, I gotta ask, is it a glitch that there's no music for the credits or was that on purpose?

    Edit: Nevermind...it is a glitch.

    Is it me or does the episode end without any music in the credits roll? If it should end in music, I may have witnessed a bug.

    Well it's a big City here in Germany, and the State-Capital of Baden-Württemberg. So it is not really surprising that such URLs are already taken.

    Could you please explain that? I never played Resident evil, and I don't remember that from the movies either.

    It was never in the movies.
    Typewriter Ribbons were used in the early Resident Evil games as save points. Every time you found a typewriter ribbon, you could save your game.
    Annoyed the hell out of their players from what I understand.

    Wasn't aware they are still using that in the newer games.

    So, I'm not the only one... In fact, I don't know any video game using this technique (in media res) except Monkey Island 2 and Night of the Raving Dead... But I guess it's possible there are other games...

    no typewriters were save points but you could only save if you had an ink ribbon. and of course they used herbs as healing items.

    "inkdrinker" from the Something Awful forums has taken a nice collection of high res screenshots from the episode. So, if you guys want some pretty pictures, there are some some are.

    Damn, it took me three episodes to realize that the Office Theme is actually a brand new version since 201!!

    those are nice screenshots but looking at them really makes me want one of
    both sam and max standing outside their grave doing the zombie pose

    Actually, I can't get it to work on my end. My machine is weird like that. Some PC Game cheats work and others don't.
