Get free overnight shipping on Sam & Max Wii
Posted by Emily	October 8, 2008
Your preorder options: busty lady with big guns, or dog and rabbity thing with big guns. Do you even have to think about it? Sam & Max Season One for Wii is going through the final spit and polish phase in manufacturing, and will start shipping to stores in North America early next week. How quickly it gets to your local store after that depends on a few factors -- such as your proximity to the manufacturing plant (I think it's in Atlanta), whether the delivery truck gets stuck in a hurricane, and your overall karma -- but it should be everywhere very soon. As you start seeing Sam & Max Wii in the shops, please email us to let us know where. (You get bonus points if you send a picture!) If you can't be bothered to check the store, GameStop.com is giving you the perfect excuse to preorder by offering free overnight shipping. The deal is only good for 24 hours so don't delay! (And don't forget, you get a nifty bonus CD when you place a preorder with GameStop...)

Annual Halloween contest - be creative, win big!
Posted by Emily	October 7, 2008
Pumpkins beware! After much deliberation, we're bringing back the Halloween contest for a third incarnation. And with Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People in full swing, we're extending it to the Homestarrunner.com universe as well as Sam & Max! How does this contest work?* It's easy! (Or complicated, your call.) Just come up with something creative that relates to Sam & Max and/or Strong Bad and submit it to us at contest@telltalegames.com to be considered. Halloween themes are optional, but we love 'em! The deadline is October 28, and we'll announce the winners on Halloween. Not sure what we're talking about? Take a look at some of the previous entries... 2007 winners \| Some other 2007 entries \| 2006 winners \| Some other 2006 entries Of course, we're not suggesting you go out and do exactly what these people did. In this contest, creativity counts! So come up with something awesome, artistic, or completely ridiculous. The best entries tend to be the ones that make us go "what the hell?" for a few seconds before we get the joke. The contest will be judged by Telltale staff and some of our closest friends (quite possibly including Steve Purcell and the Brothers Chaps). We'll choose three winners. Okay, blah blah blah. What are the prizes?! Each winner will get to choose between a Sam & Max prize pack (Season Two downloads plus collector's DVD, soundtrack, and case file) or a Strong Bad prize pack (Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People downloads and Strong Bad Emails 3-DVD box set), PLUS one of the t-shirts we sell in our store (you choose the style and size). To help you comprehend the massive awesomeness of these prizes, here are some gratuitous graphics... Are there any other rules? Yes. Don't do anything illegal or that would make baby Jesus cry. Also: Send your entries to contest@telltalegames.com with "Halloween contest" in the subject line. Your entry must be received by 9:00 am Pacific time on Tuesday, October 28 to qualify. You can submit as many entries as you like, but can only win once. Please don't send attachments over 2MB. If your entry is bigger than that, host it somewhere else and send us a link. (Our server thanks you!) *Okay, there wasn't really any deliberation involved.

Strong Bad Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands - first video and screens!
Posted by Emily	October 2, 2008
Rock and roll! This month, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People hits a frenzied note with the high-voltage third episode, Baddest of the Bands. The episode opens with tragedy when Strong Bad's beloved Fun Machine goes up in smoke. To afford the costly repairs, Strong Bad must dominate the Battle Royale of the Bands... but he's up against some stiff competition. Can he rock the stage and win the big cash prize, or will he be drowned out by the Cool Tapes? The episode will be hitting WiiWare and PC this month. Check out the screenshots for a sneak peek of the rocking action.

Strong Badia the Free: Well, did you?
Posted by Emily	September 29, 2008
The official "Did you try?" list for Strong Badia the Free is now available here. Many thanks to Chuck and Dave Eggers (no, not the one who wrote that book) for putting it together. Even if you're positive you've already squeezed the game dry for every bit of funny content, you should check out this list. Chances are you missed at least a few of these, and we want to make sure you get your money's worth! If this isn't enough, you'll find another "Did you try?" list, put together by Dangerzone from the forums, right here. Enjoy!
