    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.

    I know! Guess my comment came across a bit too snarky to be funny... Or maybe not snarky enough?

    Now shush, you're interrupting my F5-ing :p

    Ah, sorry. A man's got to defend his servers, y'know :)

    Releasing the game requires coordinating several simultaneous processes as well as support coverage after the fact.
    which is probably what you're doing right now...i'm driving home now and when i get there and don't find a 205 download in my account...


    ...i'll just wait a bit longer....like always. no, wait..the 204 release was a bit earlier than the rest and it really was up when i got home. gosh, i will miss this "it's realease day in my country, where is the link"-threads. see you all in 2009..or in the strong bad section...:D

    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.

    I see. Two buttons, eh?


    ...



    It was a joke, I swear! :eek:

    Yeah, but they have to be pressed simultaneously, and they're at opposite ends of the office. It was a poorly planned system, I'll admit, but when you use discount contractors...

    That's nice. It's 8:20am here :)

    That's so early, my mind rejects the mere suggestion as laughable.

    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.
    Bah! It's been the 12th here for an hour and a half, and you don't see us Australians complaining. :P
    Just be patient!

    I know, they're good fun. Although we haven't reached the heady heights of season one's release days. Now they were good times, except the donkey show. That wasn't fun.

    I have now completed a particularly grueling day of wrestling with an upset Panda for 6 hours. That Anti-virus server just keeps tossing more puzzles at me than Sam & Max does.

    So in reality I'm feeling a bit in two minds about it not released yet. For one I want the finale now. And for another I think I've had plenty of brainteasers today.

    So, if your job starts at 9 AM, episode 205 should be released in an hour.

    The website is down because they're 'working on some stuff under the hood'. This must be it!

    Usually the episodes are 100 MB, so if this episode is twice larger than the earlier episodes, it should be twice longer too!

    I'm on GameTap, so I got to play it last night.

    Thank You Telltale - You Californian sleepy heads you. Downloading the episode now and I know it will be a good one. Now all I want is the case file and the soundtrack. Oh, and the disc version.

    Mine's only 167 MB?

    So this time, instead of a slow server, the little Dutch boy gets 25% less goodness... :p

    She downloads like a bat out of hell though!

    OK, I'm off to play the game - where did I put that booze...
