Telltale Games - Telltale @ San-Diego Comic-Con

Telltale @ San-Diego Comic-Con
Posted by emily	July 12, 2007
Ahh, Comic-Con. Words cannot express how I feel about the fact that it's only two weeks away. Right now we're all a little stressed out, crunching to get the merchandise ready and set up meetings and figure out who's going to wear this, but once we get there, I know it will all be worth it. And with some luck you'll know it, too, because we'll blog all about it while we're there! So, are you going to be in hot San Diego two weeks from now, basking in the geeky comic goodness? If the answer's "yes!", here's where you'll be able to find us... With episodic gaming emerging as a new medium for storytelling, it's no surprise that comic licenses are a great fit. Telltale Games and Hothead Games are leading the way with episodic series based on popular comics -- Telltale with Sam & Max: Season One and Hothead with the upcoming Penny Arcade Adventures. Join members of both teams, along with Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell, to hear the ins and outs of adapting a comic license into an interactive experience, and find out why playing your favorite comic series can be so much fun. Check out Telltale's booth for lots of new merchandise, including various Season One goodies and the long awaited CD versions of the Bone Director's Cuts. Steve will also have new (non-game related) Sam & Max merchandise for sale! Three adventure game legends at one table. Bring your old game boxes and get them signed! And be sure to come loaded with geeky questions about Hit the Road / Monkey Island / Day of the Tentacle / etc. so you can dazzle Steve, Mike, and Dave with your dedication. (If you don't have boxes or don't want to mar them with signatures, they could always sign the back of a napkin or something. But getting your game box signed would be oh so much cooler...)

	Unfortunately our intern's too tall...

	Maxsuits? Wait, I think I went in the wrong height direction...
	Comment by Derwin July 12, 2007, 10:30 pm

	As you can see there, Max is effectively a hand puppet that the Sam guy wears. It should be awesome.

	Comment by Zeek July 13, 2007, 4:37 am

	Hahaha, I love that suit!
	Comment by Haggis July 13, 2007, 10:58 am

	Hey, where did the suit go? : /
	Comment by AdamG July 13, 2007, 11:15 am

	It's there for me...
	Comment by Emily July 13, 2007, 11:25 am

	Meh. I wish I could be there. :-/
	Comment by Erwin July 13, 2007, 11:57 am

	Any chance of you guys heading to Washington? California's a bit too far for me to go for a comics convention.
	Comment by NatsFan July 13, 2007, 3:43 pm

	Washington State, or Washington DC?* We'll be at PAX in Seattle later this summer. * Probably safe to assume that as a Nationals fan, you're from DC, but who knows?

	I suppose I'll have to get my canoe and paddle across the Atlantic Ocean. Hmm, or maybe not. I'll just weep myself to sleep instead, and wish I was there. Anyway, good luck with it!
	Comment by dloeke July 14, 2007, 3:59 pm

	Weeping doesn't help, trust me. I've been there.
	Comment by Erwin July 15, 2007, 3:41 am

	Steve Purcell needs to embark on a Sam & Max world tour, with signings in Australia, Germany, UK etc
	Comment by Hero1 July 15, 2007, 5:15 pm

	i wish i could wear it... but being 6'2 has its downsides. I just never thought one of them would be not being able to fit in a iconic dog suit.
	Comment by NickTTG July 16, 2007, 1:11 pm

	Cool article....
	Comment by Leonidas July 18, 2007, 5:25 am

	Please come to the largest and most important European game convention, the GC in Leipzig in August. Now that E3 no longer welcomes us Europeans, we nearly never get the chance to drool at game legends. Anaconda/dtp did manage to finally get Jane Jensen, Steve Ince, Hal Barwood and Noah Falstein so I have a few people to look forward to. Wouldn't it be cool to add you guys to the list of attendees? I would love to meet you and mutter incomprehensible nonsense at you (I speak from experience - I can express myself reasonably well in written text, but when confronted with people I look up to I can only stutter and mumble, desperately searching my memory for the correct idiom and grammar). I promise not to bring too many boxes as it's a ten hour drive for me. ;)

	We have an opportunity to go to the Games Convention this year, but unfortunately it coincides with PAX, a show we have already committed to attending (we will have a booth and a big gooey Sam & Max panel there). So the timing probably won't work out.
	Comment by Emily July 19, 2007, 7:24 am

	That's a pity. Maybe next year. :)
