	Definitely the most generous game company in the world!

	No doubt. Screw all those other game companies, TTG should own them all, then I'd get free games every once and a while :P And what is this special thing? Hmmmm

	I wonder what the special surpirse is? Ooo, maybe it's a new set of avatars, like you got in the treasure hunt.
	Comment by Fury September 17, 2009, 7:06 pm

	And this is why I continue to buy every Telltale release. Keep it up TTG, you certainly know how to cater to an internet audience.
	Comment by Derwin September 17, 2009, 8:08 pm

	Wow, this is awesome! Now I can try out the PC version and decide if I should buy the remaining episodes on WiiWare or PC! You guys just keep pulling me back in with your awesome games and events like this!

	Oh crap - I'll be away and without internet access this weekend; will I miss out on the "something special"? :( np: Jackie Leven - Billy Ate My Pocket (The Haunted Year: Summer - Barefoot Days)
	Comment by Leak September 18, 2009, 2:02 am

	Telltale is the greatest game company EVER. And it's not just because they give away free games, either!
	Comment by gameboy13 September 18, 2009, 5:35 am

	Thanks, guys :)

	Comment by Sirrus September 18, 2009, 8:08 am

	Dear Telltale Games, I thought my love for you guys couldn't possibly grow any larger. Well you managed it again. Love^exponentially infinite power, Sam.
	Comment by SamNesia September 18, 2009, 8:33 am

	I'm gonna be really evil and point out an error: You worked out your time zones wrong. It's currently 6pm in the UK. We're on GMT+1 at the moment (British Summer Time aka Daylight Savings Time aka annoying pain in the monkey). The countdown is counting down (how unusual) to midnight MY TIME! Which means that it's actually counting down to 11PM GMT!!!! So a bit of coding has gone funky somewhere...
	Comment by bobmarleypeople September 18, 2009, 10:00 am

	YES. DO WANT.
	Comment by StrongBrush1 September 18, 2009, 11:34 am

	Arrrrrrrr... I MUST have my special surprise NOW!!!!! Will it be a three-headed monkey in porcelain? Who knows!
	Comment by Q-inter September 18, 2009, 11:53 am

	I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I might be able to get the PC version(if my damn pc will work) I would just like to say two things though. 1. I already got the wiiware version, if I knew there would be a freebie I would have waited a month or two and used my last 1000 points on chapter 2. Instead, I bought chapter 1 with my last 1000 points and got a very fortunate lottery ticket($15, just enough for 1000 points and little bit to my Kingdom hearts fund) 2. If I buy the freebie, will that mean I qualify for the season upgrade bonus you guys give incase I want the dvd later on.
	Comment by Gman5852 September 18, 2009, 1:17 pm

	2) You should. I'm not entirely certain, but I think it's basically a serial code distribution exercise.
	Comment by City Of Delusion September 18, 2009, 1:57 pm

	Ah. You've fixed the time now XD
	Comment by bobmarleypeople September 18, 2009, 2:59 pm

	Are you sure the time is now correct? It is now 22:00 GMT (or UTC) and the countdown says 1hour left... so the countdown is STILL counting down to 23:00 GMT.
	Comment by GMT Master September 18, 2009, 3:11 pm

	.. It broke D:
	Comment by Rotab September 18, 2009, 4:05 pm

	Is the Wii version free to download, or just the PC version? I can't find anything that clarifies that.
	Comment by Keegmania September 18, 2009, 4:11 pm

	Great initiative! However, the game did not run here. No warning or error message as well. Would it be due to the fact I am using XP x64?
	Comment by Paulo September 18, 2009, 6:29 pm

	If you already bought all the Telltale games you could, except CSI, then the "special surprise" is that there is no special surprise. The coupon code you get won't work on CSI, and I already own everything else. Ahoy, matey! I should make you walk the plank for this, arr.
	Comment by Lemmingsmeister September 18, 2009, 7:53 pm

	The code is only for every EPISODE of TTG games, and CSI dont come in Episodes. Sorry man
	Comment by Serebix September 19, 2009, 3:20 am

	this is so unfair the suprose should reward those who have EVERY SINGLE TTG TILE even more and not just new members who are looking for a freebie
	Comment by jaden551 September 19, 2009, 3:50 am

	The download link doesn't work for me. All it does is refresh the page. I'm using IE 8 and 32-bit Vista.
	Comment by jic September 19, 2009, 5:54 am

	I mean the link at playlikeapirate.com, not the link on this page.
	Comment by jic September 19, 2009, 6:03 am

	Thank you. Unfortunately it does not work in Virtualbox, due to copy protection (forum).
	Comment by Daniel September 19, 2009, 1:21 pm

	Where´s the free game?
	Comment by Greg September 20, 2009, 2:30 am

	Damn damn damn. Half a day too late!
	Comment by mesonw September 20, 2009, 5:31 am

	me too, missed it. even though I had the page open 12 hours before. Gman5852 is your monkey happen to see me?
	Comment by mike September 20, 2009, 6:35 am

	How do I unlock the free download?? i found otu about this by chance, and am really eager to try the free full version of Chapter 1...but I have no idea how to actually unlock the game.........
	Comment by Puccini September 20, 2009, 7:09 am

	it's already too late isnt it?!?!
	Comment by serge September 20, 2009, 7:11 am

	I'm getting redirected to http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland if I try to open playlikeapirate.com. And there they tell me to go to playlikeapirate.com to get the free episode which redirects me to... very frustrating.
	Comment by Flu September 20, 2009, 9:51 am

	I tried yesterday, but my password wasn't working and the "forgot your paword" link was conspicuously missing, so I couldn't log on. (anyway, I'm guessing that offer wasn't for WiiWare purchasers of the game, nuts.)
