We're really excited to be part of Sony's first PlayStation Network pre-order campaign, and so from now until the debut of the first new Sam & Max episode, "The Penal Zone" on April 15, you can pick up the whole five-episode set for PlayStation 3 for $29.99, which will save you about five bucks off the full season price!
Not a PlayStation gamer? The Devil's Playhouse pre-order special on our very own telltalegames.com (featuring a free episode coupon, access to a private forum, special discounts at the Telltale Store, and downloadable goodies!) continues to rage on toward April 15, and you can pick up the new season for both Mac and PC for $34.95 from our website.
When it comes to disastrous recipes and harrowing ingredients, hats off to you, Telltale fans. You successfully grossed out the web team when we asked you to supply hazardous and disgusting dishes. You should be proud, and I should learn my lesson.
If you'd like to test your iron stomach, here are some of gems of the Cooking Without Looking Cookbook!

As a settlement for all the lawsuits we'll be getting from their submissions, the makers of these culinary atrocities earn a free Telltale episode and an invoice for the damage caused. That'll teach ya to be creative on the internet!
So let's get serious for a minute. Sometimes the best way to give people what they want, is to ask. Telltale Tuesday is YOUR day... what do you think of it? We'd like to know your opinions on our community events- Love 'em? Have a critique? Tell all.
It's been a week and we've finally caught up on sleep (mostly) and tracked down the blackmail photos (hopefully?) and we're ready to let you in on The Telltale GDC Experience!
For those of us working the booth, it was a wonderful time, meeting fresh faces and recruiting for the positions we have available, which you'll be able to find right here. Hint hint. (We're the greatest.)
Some special news outlets got a sneak peek at The Devil's Playhouse demo, so if you're not writing for The Onion, Gamespot or IGN, you may want to check out their articles and live vicariously through their talented journalists.
Things were all going well until someone let Sean Vanaman do a panel. Giving his thoughts about Comedy in Games, Vanaman joined Tim Schaefer and Rhianna Pratchett to expound their vast knowledge of what makes people laugh, and what regrettably does not. There to document where Sean "hides his babies" were 1up, the Onion and Gamespot.
As if that wasn't enough, on Wednesday we hosted our very own party at the Cartoon Art Museum with gallery showings from Steve Purcell himself. Unveiling our trailer for Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse (which you can see here) we had food and debates over which of the cartoon panels on the wall best embodied our childhood. Through the wonders of modern technology, you can check out pictures of the party, which is this close to actually being there.
As we step into the week after GDC, our cravings for nightly parties subsiding and the incriminating photographs beginning to surface, we'll call this year's GDC SF a success. ...But before you go, let me talk to you about our wonderful Timeshare opportunities available to all Telltale employees... Wait, you're not an employee? Well, you should give that a try, then!
Our weekly contest to see if you guys are as funny as you think you are. Let's get this show on the road!
Speaking of shows, a little refresher course:
Cooking Without Looking! What a grievously wonderful premise, a smash hit in kitchens and hospitals everywhere! This week they're taking viewer submissions, so we ask you:
Create a disastrous dish for Cooking Without Looking!
Submit the name of your recipe on our Facebook, Twitter, or toss it right here in the blog and you could win a free Telltale episode! You only have a day to whip up the most hazardous concoctions, until Noon tomorrow (that's Wednesday the 17th, 8pm GMT....or is it? Daylight Savings?) so put on your safety goggles and set the place ablaze.
