SBCG4AP: New screens and press
Posted by emily April 15, 2008
Wow, last week was a big week.

Thursday's announcement was greeted with wild enthusiasm all over the internet, and then on Friday, we showed the game at Nintendo's media summit in San Francisco, where press got to sit around with us and talk about the game and, best of all, play it!

Their impressions are starting to hit the web, and I've linked to some below. I'll keep updating it as new coverage of the media summit hits, so check back often. Also, head over to the Strong Bad page, where some new screenshots have been posted!



Woo, check out all this press!
If you want your experience playing the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People to be absolutely virgin clean, with zero spoilers (and if you have enough willpower to avoid the press until June), don't click these links. Otherwise, keep in mind that a few things about the game will be revealed to you. Hopefully, you'll find those things awesome.

GameSpot interview - Brett and GameSpot's editor Ricardo Torres shoot the breeze

GameTrailers interview - Exec producer Brett Tosti talks about SBCG4AP, with gameplay in the background.

GameSpy's WiiWare Software Roundup - They have this to say: "Of the WiiWare titles slated to release Stateside, this looks like one of the best." Aw, shucks.

Joystiq's take on the game - Plus some insights gleaned from a conversation with me. (Thankfully they cut out the parts where I sounded dumb.)

A write-up on Wired's Game|Life Blog - SBCG4AP is tagged "the surprise hit of the show". Strong Bad would be blushing under that mask. (Okay, maybe not.)

Interview with The Brothers Chaps - IGN chatted with the guys behind Homestarrunner.com to get their take on important issues like whether they think Telltale's the right company to be making a game based on their license. (Good news: they do!) Also check out IGN's hands-on preview of what we showed at the summit.

Kotaku write-up of SBCG4AP demo - A nice summary of the demo we gave to press at Friday's media summit.

1UP "behind the scenes" video - Last week, before most of the world even knew what we were up to, 1UP came by the office to chat with some of the people involved. This is the fruit of their labor.

Sounds like this game will be a good one.

Woo it's all good and everything but I should point-out that the "hey! Check them out!" link in the Strong Bad page does NOT link to Sam and Max but back to the homepage.

Keep up the great work Telltale!

When I click on the screenshots nothing happens. It's been like this since the begining.
Comment by xChri5x April 15, 2008, 8:14 pm
The screens work for me. *shrug*
Comment by tobar April 15, 2008, 8:37 pm
xChri5x , what browser are you using? Does it work if you click a screenshot thumbnail in the store (for example, here?
Comment by Emily April 15, 2008, 9:16 pm
The store ones work. But after clicking through about 5 or 6 images they stop loading. This happens on all store galleries.
I'm using the latest version of IE. This happens on both my home and work computers.
The Strong Bad screenshots won't open at all. Clicking the little thumbnail twice turns it all black also.
Comment by xChri5x April 15, 2008, 9:27 pm
I actually got the Strong Bad gallery to pop up by randomly clicking the thumbnails, but like the store, the pics stop loading after clicking through a few of them.

After closing it, I can't seem to get the gallery back anymore.

Captin Shmit - oh yeah... :P that's even funnier! :P
Comment by Guybrush Threepwood April 16, 2008, 8:35 am
I can't get the screenshots to come up, either. If I double-click on an image, the thumbnail turns dark but nothing else happens.
I'm using IE 7.0.5730.11
