    I think that's a screenshot we released, actually.

    Ew. I accidently just read a spoiler in the hints board (the thread was on the last post section, titled 'episode 206' - I was going in there to help, because I assumed it meant 106).
    Can't wait 'till tomorrow. I wonder if it'll top 204.

    I'll be in the studio and then I have an art opening to attend, so I won't get to play it until the wee hours of the night after everyone else. It will be a good way to end the semester.

    i wish they wouldnt release games on fridays anymore, becuase the time its friday over there, im at work on a saturday :(

    The Friday thing is a result of us releasing Sam & Max episodes 24 hours after GameTap, which always publishes on Thursdays. Fridays weren't a choice we made. Releasing a game on a friday is kinda weird.

    Not really. From a customer stand point, it gives me something to look forward to at the end of the week and makes Fridays that much more special when the day comes to an end.

    Of course, it make Saturdays suck if I have to work that day, because I know I'll be up that night playing through the latest episode like I was 15 and dateless... again...

    I take immersion very seriously. You should see me play Civilization as the Celts!

    Actually, you probably shouldn't...

    I'm going to guess you're referring to our CDN's bad edge server in holland during the 201 launch? They swapped that machine out very quickly once it was brought to our attention.

    Otherwise, your bad download speeds are likely your or your ISP's problem, I'm afraid. We're providing a globally mirrored and load-balanced download system, so I don't think you're likely running into problems on our end.

    Ok. It's 7:37 in California. They should be up by now, right? Hehe. Come on, Telltale. You guys said 11th. 11th started seven hours and thirty six minutes ago. Isn't the release automated? Are we waiting for someone to push the "release" button? I just hope I'll have some of the day left to play it when it's finally avalable.

    Normal buisness hours start at 9am. Give 'em a break! (easier for me to say since I'm in CA and I just woke up)

    It's 5 PM in Sweden and I woke up at 8 AM eagerly awaiting the newest episode. It's ALMOST like waiting for a Christmas presents ... and not being able to get them when you want.

    No, the release isn't automated. Nor can it be. Releasing the game requires coordinating several simultaneous processes as well as support coverage after the fact.
