Whoa ho, what's this? A blog update!
Posted by emily May 31, 2007

Yes, we've been lax with the blog since episode 6 launched. I blame it on a combination of being shell shocked and being totally swamped putting together the awesome bonus DVD that will be available to season customers next month.* But a blog can only lie fallow for so long, so here we are, with grand tidings of all the great content you have to look forward to. Such as...

  • The Summer of Season One! Just like a TV series goes into reruns in the summer, we're bringing back Season One so everyone can experience it again for the first second nth time. Starting next week, we will release a boatload of Season One content every other week, including commentary from the development team and concept art you probably haven't seen yet.

  • Sam & Max Through the Years! On the weeks we're not posting new Season One content, we'll have some Sam & Max history pieces peppered with art provided by Steve Purcell. We've been planning to do this for months (hence the "Coming Soon" square on the Sam & Max page that's been there since October...), but now that I've told you guys about it, there's no turning back. Three cheers for deadlines!

  • The return of the Telltale Interloper! It's been a long time since our last issue, and with Season 1 behind us, the weary web team should finally have some time to bring the monthly newsletter back to life. Watch for it in email starting next week(ish), and if you're planning to be at Comic-Con or PAX, be sure to stop by our booth for the collectable printed edition. If you're not signed up for our newsletter (or if it's been so long you can't remember), head over to your account settings and make it happen.

  • Comic-Con and PAX! That's right, we're doing two big shows this summer: Comic-Con at the end of July in San Diego, and PAX at the end of August in Seattle. We're cooking up a ton of cool stuff in the way of panels and booth activities. Watch this space for more info as the dates get closer. Until then, you can feast your eyes on this very scientific mock-up of how we expect our Comic-Con booth to look.

  • New merchandise in the store! Just today we've added Dave Grossman's book of poetry, Ode to the Stuff in the Sink. Very soon we'll have some more cool stuff to announce.

  • More random contests! Because everyone loves a contest.

EDIT JUNE 7: Yey! Summer's here!

*By the way, if you want the DVD, there's no need to email in and ask for it. When it's available in the store we'll make it very clear how Season 1 customers can get the disc. Until then, just sit tight... it's coming!

Will the Interloper ever be offered to non-PAX/Comic-con attendees?

In electronic form? Yes for sure. :)

I bought each episode individually. Does that mean I get the goods!?

YAY stuff!

I love that picture. :)

guys, you're giving us so much stuff for our money =D.

As mentioned on this page, people who bought all six of the episodes individually can email us for a coupon to get the season disc. We won't actually send these out until the disc is added to the store, so you don't need to email us right now.

Oh, that sounds great!
Uh, can we get the wallpaper of the WONDERFUL picture at the top of the page? It would be so nice if you could do that! It's so...sunsetty! ...can I say "sunsetty"? Sunset-ty? LOL.
Seriously, I REALLY want the wallpaper on my PC for the whole summer! Wo-hoo! XD

I love, love, love that picture. :) :) :)

Mystinsun, I just right clicked on the pic and set it as my desktop background. I'm sure it would look gorgeous bigger but I like how it looks as it is too!

See here for my desktop

Sam & Max running into the sunset on a beach, with Max chasing seagulls, classic! :P And hurrah, hurrah, for the DVD! :D Me want new merchandise...

I wish this update was about CSI:4 *sigh*
Comment by Trixie June 1, 2007, 1:29 pm
that image of Sam & Max was cool i hope that's a Season 2 image
Comment by Da Man June 2, 2007, 10:27 am
Ohhhh, yeah, that reminds me! I did mention they should go on vacation at the beach at the beggining of Season 2. :P
Comment by AdamG June 2, 2007, 4:31 pm
That's pretty clever too, just like how TV shows have reruns between seasons, so will Sam & Max! That's a good idea! :D Hopefully it attracts more new customers too.
Comment by AdamG June 2, 2007, 4:39 pm
I knew it... I knew it! Sam and Max can walk on water... now it is proven!

Jared has a small but of course growing following on [url=http://www.last.fm/music/Jared+Emerson-Johnson]last.fm[/ul]. Maybe he wants to change the picture. ;)

Hmpf. Please correct the tags. Thank you very much!

Game tap has the sam n max cartoons on their site? Do they own the rights, is telltale and gametap in a mature and adult relationship where one can share with the other certain goods and or services? I would really REALLY like to have the cartoon series (in its entirty and DVD form, I have the Nelvana VHS releases; I would just like something prettier) And I think it would make an excellent addition to the Season 1 DVD set, just to get all of the fence sitters on the right side and part with their hard earned duckets. Thanks, Chris, a concerned citizen
Comment by Chris June 6, 2007, 9:31 pm
I second that. I've never been able to find any Sam & Max comics or series apart from the games, since I live nowhere near the US.
Comment by Miral June 7, 2007, 3:36 am
Oh those poor seagulls! heh.

Yes.

Do they own the rights


No. They are able to display the cartoons in their service through an agreement with the company that owns the rights.

is telltale and gametap in a mature and adult relationship where one can share with the other certain goods and or services?


We are, but this is not one of the things we can share.

Hey, there's always YouTube. (Don't tell the lawyers I said that.)

Will you guys have ALL this cool swag at Comic-Con?

'Cause I plan on giving you money.
Comment by john Green June 7, 2007, 7:29 am
Awesome picture :D

Could we get a high res version wallpapering? It would be a perfect dual monitor wallpaper.

And PAX too? Because, y'know, PAX is much, much closer to me.
Comment by Squinky June 7, 2007, 11:01 am
We'll have everything at both PAX and Comic-Con. Woo!
Comment by Jake June 7, 2007, 3:30 pm
I agree, that picture makes a nice wallpaper especially stretched across my dual widescreens :)
Any chance of a 3360x1050 version guys? :)
Comment by Quuux June 10, 2007, 11:26 pm
