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.
Haha I enjoy that you're calling us sleepyheads, after tabacco was here at 5:30 am our time two mornings in a row -- for Strong Bad and for Sam & Max!
I just got up after sleeping for 14 hours straight, after pulling an all-nighter and two nearly-seeing-daylight-before-going-to-bed nights before that, prepping for these two launches. Woooooooooooooo!!!!!
Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying 205, and all the other crazy things we've got going on around here this week!
just downloading now. How long is it in comparison to the other episodes?
It's got more stuff in it, for sure. How long it is probably depends on the player. Some people will blast through a particular episode, only to come to the forums to see that other people found it to be the longest one of the season.
I actualy disagree. A nice wrap up with loads of witty jokes, but for some reason, I had more fun with 204.
Altough, this one did make me go "LOL WUT" a few more times than usual.
Eee, I only just finished downloading it. Slowby computer. This is expletiving EXCRUTIATING, waiting and trying not to have it spoiled! Like... for all I know wefeelgroove has a massive plot twist under that spoilertag that I'm one mouse click away from. I'd better go play now before I cave under pressure.
I'm just floored. 'Epic' is much too puny a word to use. Telltale really has topped itself, what with the new characters, the in-jokes, the absurdities piled on absurdities, the sheer amount of stuff crammed into each game. Just... wow.
And honestly, I hope we do see some of the dead characters again, even the Soda Poppers. Anything's possible, as this episode has shown.
More thoughts:
I loved the music in the tunnels. Had a Monkey Island vibe to it.
I'm a little disappointed that the devil designs in the second piece of concept art didn't make it into the game. That's some of the best concept art I've seen. But Satan was handled great nevertheless. The voice was perfect.
I just finished playing, and my GOD!! You really surprised me at the end!
And the puzzles this time where just insane! I mean, yeah, there have been people asking for harder puzzles, which I don't mind, but the leaps in logic were just... well, let's just say I'm not complaining now, but at the time I really wish I had access to a mini-game to help me think before a NPC hint came up.
This episode was a nice capstone for the season. I can't wait to read the reviews of it and replay it to catch all the little things I missed.
I did see Chuckles in the background, though, so knowing he died at the end of 104 makes me a little sad now.
i thought this had to do with season 3, since it's september. i probably still has, but then why is it september in 205? the other episodes played roughly around their release dates.
Well, I always wait till end of season to buy the package, but I just have and have to say simply awesome.
205 was easily my favourite though, and worth the season price alone, and also the first Sam And Max game I havn't had to resort to the walkthrough for.
The only problem I have now is having to wait until 2009 for season 3 .
Wow. Just...wow. A stunning episode and a fantastic season finale that gave a great feeling of closure. While in 204 I thought all the season's questions had been answered, 205 answers even more.
As soon as I got the bag of pork rinds, I instantly knew that we'd see the future section from 201. It was also nice to be on the other side of the Boxing Betty remote/egg puzzle from 204.
Also, getting to see the wedding over the credits was a great ending and it was really heartwarming.
Keep up the fantastic work, Telltale. I can't wait for the Strong Bad game and Season 3!
I thought it had just the right amount of difficulty: Most puzzles were easy, but there a couple that stumped me. But once I increased the Hint frequency, I got the tips I needed.
I've been waiting for Telltale to make a nice-looking night version of Sam and Max's street ever since Season 1 began. Amazingly, it's taken this long to replicate an effect first seen in screenshots of Freelance Police.
Now you've finally gotten it right. Stars in the sky, all the windows lit up... The sunset effect from 106 and 202 pales in comparison. Better late than never, eh?

I said ALMOST 200 MB.

And was that a Leisure Suit Larry reference I spotted there on the Lust poster?
I need to get back to gaming. It's not like I can't catch an extra hour of sleep or two at the office tomorrow. Bye!
Brilliant!
...and yesterday, i guess.:rolleyes:

It is the largest episode. Uncompressed, it is about 500 Megabytes. Episode 204 and 203 were around 300 megabytes each.
That was BRILLIANT. I can't believe how much stuff you guys wrapped up in this episode!
I think Season 2 just scored a place on my list of favorite games. It was a treat from beginning to end. Oh, and you guys are still mad geniuses!
Looking forward to Season 3!

Anyways, great episode. First one I was able to get through on my own, and it was totally worth it.

ps. I liked 204 more but 205 was totally worth it.
at least he got a nice desk job (with almost no chance of cruise missile fall whatsoever)
edit:
ah, i just saw that mysterious comment from jake hinting at
X-Play gave it a 4 out of 5, with only two complaints. Difficulty and length.

Looking foward to the next series

I wouldn't call it that. Sure they had no function, but they tied the story together, because of the recurring scene from 201 of
Well done!
