Technically it's Nov. 1st

[ShiratoriNinjaBrat]

and i wanna play NOWWWW!!!!

*stomps the floor and whines*

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~

[BarfHappy]

You're a capricious little fella you know ? So calm down before i smash your rabitty head with my precious 1Ton hammer that miraculously fits in my left pocket :P

[ShiratoriNinjaBrat]

hehe, so i have an extra sensitive craving... or should i say neeeedd for mass wanton destruction, the hassling of innocent lives, and just plain stuff to blow up. for no reason whatsoever!

[Markusdragon]

I'm ill and therefore demand to be appeased; I demand Sam & Maxish goodness!

[ShiratoriNinjaBrat]

just for the record.. i replayed hit the road, beat it this morning...

who the hell is naturalist john muir?
i still don't know who he is.. i wonder if conroy bumpus will ever make it to the series. i would love to meet him again, and play more tricks on him..

also... remember the part where u go virtual reality and kill the dragon to get the key? so what will virtual reality be like now, now that the game is in 3d...

hmmmmm..
it'll be a big splosion like a snot rocket!

[jp-30]

who the hell is naturalist john muir?

All praise the almighty internet!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir

[ShiratoriNinjaBrat]

wow now the games ending makes that much more sense!

[Linque]

Wer iz mein game!

[Derwin]

Sweetness! John Muir was born in Dunbar, Scotland. I am a Dunbar! Coincidence? I think so...

[Derwin]

Wer iz mein game!

Who is your game? What is that supposed to mean?

[Mischa]

Who is your game? What is that supposed to mean?

Correctly it should be "Wo ist mein Spiel", that means "Where is my game".

And that is the problem...

I'm from germany, and in germany it is now 12 o' clock, highnoon on Nov 1st. I've been sitting for nealry twelve hours in front of my computer, refreshing my Thunderbird every few minutes, hoping to receive the mail with the downloadlink... ...then i realized there's a time difference between you and me, so shame on me. i was nine ours too early...

but right now, it should be 3:10 AM in CA, SO WHERE'S MY LINK???

[ensignyu]

Not until the Telltale staff wake up :P

And yes, it's 3:20AM here in California. Got another seven-ish hours to go.

[Mischa]

but... but... but... my plan was to be the first official european player who purchased the game legally...

just go and beat them out of their beds! this day is more important than christmas, thanksgiving and the 4th of july taken together! noone should sleep today!

whaaaaa! i'm getting crazy...
and i'm getting myself another cup of coffee.
staying awake, staying awake, staying awake, staying awake, all i got to do is being patient and staying awake...

[She-ra]

How much longer????

[tullyr]

False advertising, I demand the entire series for free.

[Mischa]

False advertising, I demand the entire series for free.

yes, Nov 1st starts at 00:00 in the morning.

[Winckle]

Stupid Guys!
It's a worldwilde and a simultaneous release!
Like Valve with their Steam System, some have at 8pm their games and others at 10am but it's a simultaneous release!

[Mischa]

oh, you are such a geek...

seems like irony is a dead scene...

[She-ra]

So that means..... when?:confused:

[Guybrush]

Wah you guys are so cruel. Today i don´t have to work and i thought i could play S&M Sequel after more then 10 Years of painfull waiting and i still didn´t get a mail. ARG. You hate us Europeans don´t you ?

[Marty]

woo hoo its almost Nov 2 :D
i like to think that Im patient but Im not

[Mischa]

Wah you guys are so cruel. Today i don´t have to work and i thought i could play S&M Sequel after more then 10 Years of painfull waiting and i still didn´t get a mail. ARG. You hate us Europeans don´t you ?

why only ten years? didn't you play "hit the road" when it was released in 1993? so i'm waiting for 13 years now! that's more than half of my life!!!!!

[Duate]

Guess it's time to play the original until this one comes out. :(

[Winckle]

I like Americans but it's easy to understand that it's a simultaneous release and everybody can't have it at the time he wants!
I live in France and the 1st November is a closed day (i don't think it's the exact word) so nobody work and i would love play Sam and Max at least one hour in the afternoon but i must wait the evening!
Everybody here are waiting for the game.

[Mischa]

yes, in some parts of germany, Nov 1st is also a holiday. luckily in bavaria, where i live, too.
so i was able to sit in front of the computer since midnight...
and here i am.

[Guybrush]

why only ten years? didn't you play "hit the road" when it was released in 1993? so i'm waiting for 13 years now! that's more than half of my life!!!!!

i wrote "more then 10 years" but i agree with you it is more then half of my life too.

ich think i install monkey island 3 and play it a little to distract me:(

Servas noch Bayern von am Oberösterreicher ;)

[Mischa]

aha! ein österreicher! ein freundliches servuas über die grenze, im sinne der völkerverständigung!

[jannar85]

Hope it'll come before I go to school, or afterwards, which will make it five hours from now.

[Plan3]

This waiting is starting to kill me! eeeekage!
Holy moose with martians and peas on top this day is going sloooooow!

I'm so looking forward to this game!!!! =p I hope the servers will handle the load so that we all will be able to download it ...

[Linque]

Who is your game? What is that supposed to mean?

Indeed, who is my game? Or could it be a statement .. could who in itself be my game - or perhaps it's all about The Who?

Better yet, if you are italian, will you settle for a fistful of dollars, or will you always go for a few dollars more?

[listereo]

I'm an American student studying in the Netherlands, specifically in a no-where town that's just a stone's throw away from Germany. I'm also a console gamer, so I'm a bit pained that I'm missing so much exciting business in the USA with console launches, and I decided that Sam and Max would be my darling whilst I was away.

BUT NAY. In fifteen minutes, a class begins, and once it begins, I'll be busy with classes and a short break for dinner from then (2:30 PM, local time) until 9:30 PM. I'd much rather be excited about having played this apparently brilliant episode, doodling our excitable rabbit into the margins, than grinding my teeth over the delay.

At least I do not suffer alone.

[H_3k]

At least I do not suffer alone.

Indeed, here it is already 14h23. Suffering also...

[Winckle]

14h40 here, in France!
Waiting for the game...
Maybe H-3h20?

[Bonga35]

well, i think that telltalegames is located in california, so i'd say at the earliest this will be available 9am in california, if not 12pm california time. so that means at the earliest it will be available in Europe 6pm.

[Linque]

Ha! You guys know nothing of suffering, here it is already 15:47

[Rantanplan]

If the game is available at 6pm in Europe, are there any chances to pay for it with PayPal?

[Igl85]

15:03 in Slovenia :)

Damn, I wanted to play today as well, but there's no more time. So, I will play on Friday.

[tabacco]

If the game is available at 6pm in Europe, are there any chances to pay for it with PayPal?

Once episode 1 becomes available, Paypal will return as an option. We're not allowed to collect money before delivering a product, and PayPal charges you up-front for everything, which is why it hasn't been available.

[Derwin]

Indeed, who is my game? Or could it be a statement .. could who in itself be my game - or perhaps it's all about The Who?

Better yet, if you are italian, will you settle for a fistful of dollars, or will you always go for a few dollars more?

Hmm... interesting, and slightly philosophic.

[Rantanplan]

Once episode 1 becomes available, Paypal will return as an option. We're not allowed to collect money before delivering a product, and PayPal charges you up-front for everything, which is why it hasn't been available.

That means, it is not possible to buy the episode package, even if episode 1 is released?

[Informagic]

OK, boys and girls, I think it's time to join you all in your desperation. I, for starters, am also waiting in front of my computer in bavaria, updating my e-mail client all day, as well as Telltale's Sam & Max page *and* this thread. :) Luckily, I decided not to get up before 6 o'clock in the morning, because I calculated with New York's time zone. Nevertheless, this means waiting for -- *blink* just realizing I'm sitting in front of this machine for nearly nine hours! Enlarging my thirteen year long odysse for an almost unbearable length of time...

And what did you say 'bout earliest time would be 9 o'clock in pacific coast time? Man, sometimes you could really get frustrated about long sleepers! What about automatizing the whole process? Couldn't be that difficult I'd say. Hey, what about getting *me* doing this? Just graduated in computer science a month ago, which leaves me with an awful lot of spare time now... (Just kidding. But anyway, I'm specialized in artifical intelligence, so really: What about automatizing this process, letting it to put out the download link exactly at midnight of November 1st? For all I care even in the 9 hours backward running californian time system...) ;)

[Viz79]

Well they say they have a contract with Gametap preventing them from allowing downloads here until the exclusive period ends.. but I dont know just what time exactly it does end on Oct 31. If it ends earlier in the night west coast USA which perhaps its does, I am not quite sure why there isnt an automated download situation where it simply opens up links when the time is up.

As Sam & Max gets more and more popular in the months to come and they get more people across the globe wanting this, I get the feeling they are going to get innundated about the delay during each release day to to a point where they will seriously need to consider it. I wish they'd begin to think about the idea now though ;) But if I was a betting man, I'd tell you that not only is this subject going to come up every single month but it will become more of an issue too.

[Informagic]

But if I was a betting man, I'd tell you that not only is this subject going to come up every single month but it will become more of an issue too.

You really can say that again. By the way, considering the hype this game release goes through: I really hope this is giving the people at Lucas Arts (especially George Lucas himself) something to think about. Until the cancelled Freelance Police, they were my favourite game studio (besides the legendary Coktel Vision studio of Muriel Tramis with its Goblins series, which still ranks absolutely top for me). I -- as many others here, I think -- signed the online petition, but no response. So go back to your studio's dark corners, cover with ash and shame and think about your future way of producing games, dear Lucas Arts team!!!

Oh, in the past nine hours I tried out some other things, especially the Samorost game and its successor's demo. Really great, you should consider playing it while waiting for Sam & Max to be finally released.

[Lagomorph]

Well I've just got outta college, ready to play. So when's november the 1st to these guys? time in GMT perferably.:D :D :D :D

[Nick Fury]

They told me it was November 1.

I just created a user account and they told me it was November 1... so where's the game?

November 1, 2006 | www.telltalegames.com

[Winckle]

http://www.makeacountdown.com/?id=230002
:D

[Informagic]

They told me it was November 1.

Or look at my registration day. OK, I've ordered the game some days ago, but only registered for the forum some three to four hours ago. And there it says, my join date would be "Nov. 2006". Which means, their system is already running in November time. :p But it's not their system's time which is decisive for the game's release, but their personal when-we-get-out-of-bed-and-back-to-work-time...

[Marty]

well. looks like im gonna sleep then hopefully play it tomorow afternoon. at least I have something to look foward to

[Beertiger]

This is pretty crappy service for such a highly anticipated game. It's 3pm here now and no game. If they are waiting till 9am California time then they should at least tell us next to the release date. This guessing game is annoying.

[Informagic]

http://www.makeacountdown.com/?id=230002
:D

Hm. Don't you think, you're a bit optimistic in your euphoria? I don't know anything at all about game designer's working hours, but that would mean they'd be starting at 9 o'clock in the morning... OK, I usually start at 7 o'clock, but I'm working at the university programming a robot. Sure, you also need a bit of creativity to do that, but not as much as when having to design games, I think. And perhaps your common game designer's creativity level isn't up to full speed at 9 o'clock? But never mind; I don't want to spoil the hype. I'd be rather excited myself if it would be released that "early". :) Even when having to face the fact that this means six o'clock in the evening for me...

[Mischa]

hey! another bavarian!

servuas! aus dem nörlichsten zipfel bayerns!

oh boys... i'm too afraid to play another game meanwhile, because of missing the long awaited release-email...

[Wickywoo]

For the next game, can we please be on eastern time? I know you can find out what state the IP is in, so midnight eastern isn't too much to ask is it?

Want game NOW! It's been the first for 10 hours. Tell Gametap that they shouldn't be lazy.

[PinkPanther]

... I learned some basic facts about California, when I was searching for the time zone.

Now, I just hope, after cooking some delicious asian food, that your company in the golden State, will release the game. Perhaps after singing: "I Love You, California", picking up some Golden Poppys under the Palo Verde Trees, while looking at some california quails. I understand, that all this may take some time, till we all can shout out that slogan of your state:"Eureka" .

[Markusdragon]

Whining isn't going to get anyone anywhere, especially as there's probably no-one in the office yet to whine to.

[Altbau]

Anyway, 16:10 austrian time is not a good time to still be waiting... :p

[Laserschwert]

Ich halt's nicht mehr auuuuuuuuussss!!!

Uhm... I mean... go TellTale, yeah...

[Legolas813]

Man you guys would hate GameTap, lol. They never release games at a set time on release date. Thursdays are when you get new games, but they can choose to release them anytime during the day. You never get any warning.

[Hellerphant]

[QUOTE=Informagic;10498]You really can say that again. By the way, considering the hype this game release goes through: I really hope this is giving the people at Lucas Arts (especially George Lucas himself) something to think about.QUOTE]

Amen to that! Let's have a serious look at this shall we? What has Lucasarts released recently that was any good. Grim Fanadango was the last title I actually enjoyed. Their movement into the whole Star Wars RTS wasn't the greatest, and to tell you the truth I doubt that I can ever forgive them for making me wait so long for the Sam & Max sequel, only to announce that it was being cancelled?

It's going to be so funny seeing the Lucasarts team kicking their own asses when they see how popular this game is going to become

Yeah, I wish I waited for the 2nd of november. :D

Whining isn't going to get anyone anywhere, especially as there's probably no-one in the office yet to whine to.

I'm here ;)

[Derwin]

You were there at least around 6am, weren't you tabacco?

[Lagomorph]

So what time is it now? PST?

[tabacco]

5:30 actually. If I leave the house anywhere between 6 and 10:30am, there's more than an hour and a half of traffic between my house and Telltale, so I decided to come in early and get some work done, instead of sit in my car for over an hour :)

So what time is it now? PST?
7:30am

[Markusdragon]

I'm here ;)

Well on that basis, everyone can moan at you, good sir :P.

By the way, nice user title. Monstrous Regiment is one of my favourite books.

[Informagic]

I'm here ;)

Hey! So what's your job? Just nourishing your greed for reading posts of suffering computer addictives? Or just dropping by while emptying the bins? *smile* No, not really. Be praised, dear member of the Telltale team! May your life be a rich and delightful one and your offspring beautiful and multitudinous. And even more in the case you'll send me an e-mail concerning a certain download link... :)

[Altbau]

Schlapfn, ihr Piefke ;)

Still waiting... argh :D

[Stefan]

Do we know what time they'll release it? Is it 10 am or when?!

Btw, I think the servers will get overloaded :P

[Mel]

I'll probably download it this weekend when I have more time. :)

Good luck to everyone at Telltale on the big day! May you have lots of caffeine and yummy food to get you through the launch.

[Derwin]

I do not miss CA traffic one bit...

[Gabelstapler]

oh mann ... I just looked at my callender and got a flash ! ahhh ... its november the first and that means sam and max must have been released !!!
and now its the same thing like with bone1+2 ... the telltale timezone story ... waiting sucks !
but I ask myslef whats generally up with that gametap thing. when they release it over a half month earlier for us+can - why then not a demo for everyone ?

[Wickywoo]

Whining is always productive, at least it eats up time :)

[Shodan]

in case you don't follow the other threads:

Indeed, which is exactly why we decided not to do this. ;)



Sorry, we haven't quite figured out how to make time stand still. :(

Next time we make an announcement it will be "Sam & Max's worldwide release will be Wednesday, November 1, sometime in the morning, Pacific standard time, which is sometime in the afternoon on the east coast, sometime in the evening in Europe, and early the next morning in Australia and New Zealand..." Doesn't have the same ring to it. :D

Soon, guys! Very very soon!

[Gabelstapler]

now come on ... when its s&m time ?

[Gabelstapler]

in military time please ... I m not good in this pm am thing

[Gabelstapler]

sorry guys ... but I m so impatient !

[Gabelstapler]

now to kill some time ... where youre all from ? I think the most of you are germans, right ?

[Rantanplan]

"When it's done"

By the way, ever heard about "editing" posts?

[Gabelstapler]

have you ever heard of being friendly ?

[Markusdragon]

It's times like this that I'm glad Gyakuten Saiban 2 arrived on my doorstep this morning.

[DoubtedEdwardo]

British and proud, wat wat! And I can't jolly well wait around forever for this game. Only two hours, might as well do some work while I wait.

[Informagic]

OK... I think I'll get out at least and pump some fresh air. I'm already feeling fatter -- no wonder; I think I've munched away nearly all my chocolate reserves for frustration... See ya in about an hour, if there's anything at all to Winkle's countdown timer (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10501#post10501)...

It's 8am there. They're just walking into the office, dropping their coats on the hooks, and are making themselves a coffee, I just know it. This is IT!!!

Being British, surely you're used to waiting for games to come out by now :P.

[Cpt_Beaver]

So two hours according to timer. Thank god for internet explorer v7. I can have it in a tab and still have the timer up yet me thinks telltale shall still be up

[Cpt_Beaver]

Being British, surely you're used to waiting for games to come out by now :P.

Yes i am, i cant remember the last one i was really really annoyed though the states got it months before us. I know it was physconauts a whole 6 months! or it mightve been more!

[DoubtedEdwardo]

IT IS NOVEMBER THE 1ST GIVE ME THE GAME..... NOW.... I'VE WAITED YEARS FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!! RELEASE IT!!!! RELEASE IT NOW!!!! OR ILL GET MY BUDDY MAX TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew, someone needs to take a chill pill;)
Don't worry just two hours (probably) to go, while you wait why not construct a life size model of Sam and Max out of ear wax. It'll keep you occupied.

[Rantanplan]

Do you really think they release the game as earlier as they scheduled just because of some forum postings?

[Gabelstapler]

have you ever heard of being friendly ?
keeps the world and some forums together sometimes ...
greetings to the already lightly teased forum members !
;-)

[Rantanplan]

I am friendly.

[Markusdragon]

Yes i am, i cant remember the last one i was really really annoyed though the states got it months before us. I know it was physconauts a whole 6 months! or it mightve been more!

Aye, that wait was just painful :(

[Gabelstapler]

ok ... no stress ! I think we should all be calm, chill a little and have (hopefully) soon our fun with the new sam and max episode !

"the waiting time is still the hardest time"

[Cpt_Beaver]

Ill be friendly when i get sam and max......

[DoubtedEdwardo]

Physconauts is on steam now, it's next on my list of games to get.

[Cpt_Beaver]

1hr 46 mins....

[Cpt_Beaver]

i know its on steam but in the uk we had to wait 6 months at least before it was able to buy

[aufä]

i'm from austria, sittin' in front of my pc since 01:00 PM GMT - AUSTRIA TIME .. yuk :(

Wake up .. fellaz .. we need it, we want it !! snow is falling, and i don't wanna go out, i wanna play sam and max :D

[DoubtedEdwardo]

We can at least keep it down to half hours, otherwise this thread will get a bit tedious.

[Cpt_Beaver]

dont we all 1hr 45 mins to go

[Cpt_Beaver]

i suggest we all replay the original then come back and all buy the new one and be pleased cos we see sam and max reborn

[Gabelstapler]

when I remeber exactly ... it was about 18:00 - 18:30 here when bone 2 was released ... maybe were all lucky and its less than a hour to a real good adventure !

[Cpt_Beaver]

if it gets released when its supposed to on this website its exactly 18:00 GMT

[DoubtedEdwardo]

i suggest we all replay the original then come back and all buy the new one and be pleased cos we see sam and max reborn

Good plan, unfortunately I don't have it with me, and as I have a version on floppy disk I don't think I'll even be able to get it onto my computer.

[Gabelstapler]

hmm ... would be fine, beaver are you from GB ?

[Rantanplan]

I still hope that it will be possible to buy the full episode package with PayPal after the first episode is released.

[Kerasion]

Just Realized, I got to get myself a spot in this Historic thread....
Seriously! When is it done?

[Gabelstapler]

I hope too there will be not too long until a german version !
just want to say : you englishmen are quite lucky, cause I m nearly sure that some of the jokes and dialouges will be heavy to translate !

[Nick Fury]

I'm eagerly awaiting the return of my favorite dog and rabbity thing.

[Winckle]

Physconauts is on steam now, it's next on my list of games to get.
Yes, it's a good game with a big creativity!

So, who think the game will be available in 36 minutes?
(The thing to know is when the exclusievity period of Gametap ends! And we will have a big clue on when it's released!)

[Gabelstapler]

@ kerasion : maybe good 35 minutes...maybe longer !

[except]

If I dont get the game within 2 hours, the fluffy kitten here gets it.
And it'll be on your head.

Please, for heaven's sake, save the kitten!

[DoubtedEdwardo]

According to the countdown you posted it's 1h 33min 17 sec....15sec....umm, you get the idea.

[Plan3]

The bells, the bells!
I wonder exactly how many people that are sitting just waiting for this game now =p

[Winckle]

The countdown that i have made on a poor website takes your computer time, so for me, it's already finished.
But, if you read the post of Emily in the other topic : it's VERU VERY SOON!

[Gabelstapler]

I think the server could breakdown ... that would be terrifying if that happens too soon and only the half or less of us will get the game tonight ! (cause I know once a server is broke this can take time)

[Laserschwert]

Downloading right now...





Just kidding. And server breakdown? We're just like, what, 20 people? I think the server can take THAT...

[Winckle]

LOOK NOW AT YOUR E-MAIL BOX, it's empty! :D

[listereo]

It makes me so happy to see so many angry nerds fuming together with minimal flaming. Ah, brotherhood.

[Rantanplan]

We're just like, what, 20 people?

:D
Now you are kidding.

[Gabelstapler]

do you really think were only 20 people in europe that wants to download the game tonight ? I cant read "LOL" ... think about all the s&m fans ( there are ones in spain,italy,germany,netherlands,france )

[Gabelstapler]

ok ... one minute too late

[Plan3]

:D
Now you are kidding.

Yes, I think he must be kidding - We are at least 25!!!

[DoubtedEdwardo]

But, if you read the post of Emily in the other topic : it's VERU VERY SOON!

So Emily is at work and Doug is at work... How early do these people get up!? I am right in thinking it's still stupidly early in Telltale land aren't I?

On another note, which of the 'give us the game' threads do you choose? I think ours is winning so far.

[aufä]

we're 20 nerds here in forum waiting and hoping .. the other's fell asleep and miss the publish ;)

[Laserschwert]

I dont think it will be as many as some people might expect. I dont know anyone who has brought a game online before, and this is my first. Im old fashioned and like the box, and manual!!

......... its coming

[Guybrush]

Ok i watch "jackie Brown" right now it ends 18:20 local time 40min from now, THEN should the mail better be here. ....*pray*

[Gabelstapler]

hello ? youve forgot that not everone who downloads is a forum member !!!!

[Winckle]

Maybe in 18 minutes.... :confused:

[DoubtedEdwardo]

Im old fashioned and like the box, and manual!!


Yeah, a big box, made of cardboard, with new game smell infused into it. Games just don't smell the same since they started using DVD cases.

[XdarXideX]

Do us Europeans who pre-ordered get sent a boxed copy too? That would be pretty sweet.

[aufä]

i hope i'll get the link before 7 pm, otherwise i go and have a beer with friends

[Laserschwert]

So, to clear it up... I was talking about the people on the forum (and this thread), since WE are the ones downloading the thing first... as long as we keep lengthening this thread until the release...

[PinkPanther]

It would also be a bit expensive to ship it.

[aufä]

Do us Europeans who pre-ordered get sent a boxed copy too? That would be pretty sweet.

..after release of the whole game u can order a copy on cd

[Winckle]

If you have pre-ordered (like me :p ), you will be able to order the Cd at the end of the season just for the cost of shipping (about 10$).

[Cpt_Beaver]

hmm ... would be fine, beaver are you from GB ?

Why yes, yes i am

[Viz79]

Dum dum diday!

Well lets see.. was the estimated time 10:30 am PST? Thats 6.30 pm GMT and its 4.45 pm time. Thats almost two hours remaining..

Wouldnt hold your breath for that long :)

[Jokieman]

I just want to see who won the big prize. hehe

[Real World]

What time is it Mr Wolf?

[XdarXideX]

Oh ok that's pretty cool. Knowing me I will have forgotten my password by then or completely forgotten that I even bought the game. I buy lots of games O_o

[Guybrush]

HA i figured th ewhole thing out !!!

It takes so long to get the game because everyone who ordered the game gets it by email as attachment ! And since telltale uploads with 768kb dsl does that take a while ;)

[aufä]

let's post your local time everyone ;)

@ kufstein, austria: 17:48

[Winckle]

Can they give us the link to download? and after, we will be all waiting for our own key.

[Batteryboy]

I'm waiting too. :eek: 16:48pm London time

[Laserschwert]

Plus, the download will take time too... give us the link, and the download will be completed JUST ON TIME.

[Cpt_Beaver]

Yes they should let us download it now and let us purchase whenever its released or we're ready.

[Guybrush]

austria: 17:48

[IronCladChicken]

"When it's done"

By the way, ever heard about "editing" posts?

I've heard about editing posts, but it sounded cruel - Posts have rights too y'know!

Besides, its 4:49pm here and I have to go out this evening and get drunk :( No chance to play Sam & Max till Friday methinks :eek:

[Informagic]

OK, I'm back from outside. It's getting rather chilly... Yeah! Even the weather says it's November now!

[Cpt_Beaver]

Ill let you know when its an hour left according to this website guys ;)

[Winckle]

It's just 75mb so it won't take a long time.

(We are 176!)

[matan]

Okay, everyone, this is silly and you're getting pathetic. You guys better go to sleep or play football or watch tv or read a book or something!

(so I could get all the downloading bandwith when it's released :D )

[Gabelstapler]

@beaver : its cool for you englands to read and understand the gags and texts ... I hope I ll come cleart with this because I m german ...

[Cpt_Beaver]

It's just 75mb so it won't take a long time.

How do you know its size, are you lucky enough to have access to gametap?

[Cpt_Beaver]

FOOLISH THIEF OF BANDWITH

[aufä]

does anyone know if there will be language patches !? e.g. for german :rolleyes:

[Maize]

Ack! My lunch break is in 8 minutes, and no link yet! I brought my laptop to work and everything! *sniff* [Toronto, Canada, 11:52am.]

[Batteryboy]

Yawn, tap tap tap fingers.....

[Cpt_Beaver]

@beaver : its cool for you englands to read and understand the gags and texts ... I hope I ll come cleart with this because I m german ...

You could learn english good. lol. Anyway with being german you should be better with english than any american living or dead

[Informagic]

Hm, I'm just thinking about the 9 o'clock release forecast someone made earlier in this thread. That'd be in about 8 minutes. So what about us joining in a big chorus and give the Lucas Arts team a big "Wuahahaha" before beginning to play the game at last? C'mon, pals, let's do it! One, two, three...

[except]

Who wants to hear sam OR max in german?!

Haben sie kartoffelsalat, ja?

:)

[Gabelstapler]

I dont think so...because they didnt made it with bone

[Gabelstapler]

ich hätts gerne auf deutsch warum du apfelbacke

Im with you on that, SCREW YOU LUCAS ARTS, all i need now is for monkey island 5, day of the tentacle 2, grim fandango 2 to be released and my world domination is final. Wuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Winckle]

Wuahahaha!

(But i don't think it will be really in about 6 minuts now!)

[Markusdragon]

I'm playing a game whilst waiting for a game to be released, and worrying about whether or not I should avoid playing an online game tonight.

I think I need a life.

[PinkPanther]

I´m soon finished with my delicious cooking.. oh if you could smell it !
Paprika, mushrooms, ketjap manis (soja-sauce) and some chicken-breast.

Oh, I forgot.. A lot of chillie !

I just hope, they don´t release it, in the next 30 minutes or all this food may be wasted.

[Viewtiful Jim]

My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas! Plus thoughts and desires of when I'm gonna get my hands on this long awaited game! How much longer must we wait!

[Gabelstapler]

;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

[Guybrush]

You DO know that this Sam and Max is not by Lucasarts ?

[demonscars1]

Its 4 minutes till Noon in NYC and still no game.

[Cpt_Beaver]

You DO know that this Sam and Max is not by Lucasarts ?

Yes thats why im saying screw you lucas arts i want telltale to make the aforementioned other games

[aufä]

worst case: after downloading the setup file, installing and ready to go - system requirements are too high :eek:

does anyone now minimum requirements?

[Kerasion]

Gotta stop reading this thread, I can Literally See the minutes crawl by

[Informagic]

You DO know that this Sam and Max is not by Lucasarts ?

In fact that's why I made the proposal to give them that big laugher. I really want to see them crunching away on their fingernails, wondering what they've done to themselves when cancelling Freelance Police.

[bashar]

Heeeeyyy.... I wanna play the game :~(

I've been waiting for this kind of games for years and its only 6 hours till the 1st Nov ends at our time...

I thought some people already finished it when I got on my PC from home!!!

I will keep waiting :(

P.S: TellTale people must be really feeling bad now they got the whole list waiting. Doesnt that tell how many adventure fans are out there just waiting for a small episode from a startup company :)

[Plan3]

Wuahahaha!!!!! =p

[deaxes]

How do you know its size, are you lucky enough to have access to gametap?


TellTale Games has said, during the announcement, that the game will be a 75 mb download.

I couldn't wait, so I cashed in my My Coke Rewards for a 2 month (60 days) free pass for GameTap. (I will give the rest of the gametap account to one of my friends) The game itself is about 200 mb unpackaged on the hard drive.

Just So You Know

[XdarXideX]

Someone at Telltale forgot to upload the game :D

[Cpt_Beaver]

Gotta stop reading this thread, I can Literally See the minutes crawl by

Either termites are burrowing through my skull or one of us is ticking. 1 HOUR LEFT! OMG DEFINING POINT OF THIS GAMING YEAR 1 HOUR LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gabelstapler]

ok it 18:00 now ... no game

[ghostgurl]

I'm such a geek that I just joined to post this message. I want my sam and max now! I was hoping to have it before I went out, but it looks like I will have to wait untill I get home. Waaah!:( *goes to recheck email*

[Real World]

I rushed home from work breaking most of the speedlimits, risking life and limb and for what? A patient wait by my PC. sob.

[Legolas813]

It's over 290 MB.

[DoubtedEdwardo]

Emily, Emily give us a wave! :p

[aufä]

call me when the game has released. meanwhile i play poker on pokerstars.com :)

[Cpt_Beaver]

Ive always loved telltale since i heard the news of them doing sam and max 2. Im beginning to hate them with this waiting.

[Plan3]

We are gonna break the servers with all this forum spamming =p And we have to wait even more while waiting for em to get servers up =p

[Guybrush]

and the tock´s cklicking

[Gabelstapler]

nope ... nothing ! I think this could take longer ..........................

[Cpt_Beaver]

Surely Someone From Telltale Can Hear Our Pleas Weve Been Patient Until Today!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cpt_Beaver]

They need more servers then.... grrrrrrrr

[Guybrush]

Maybe Telltale ment Nov. 1 2007 ?

[Batteryboy]

I've got to leave my office in 20 minutes, bet it comes out when I'm driving home..:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Cpt_Beaver]

Maybe Telltale ment Nov. 1 2007 ?

Don't even joke....... My physcotic mind control powers shall kill you......... or ill send max round when i finally get this game...

[Gabelstapler]

............ ja grützifix ...... they forgot us drinking coffee and eating donuts ...... :-( :-( :-(

[Cpt_Beaver]

I've got to leave my office in 20 minutes, bet it comes out when I'm driving home..:mad: :mad: :mad:

stay behind at work?

[bashar]

Im with you on that, SCREW YOU LUCAS ARTS, all i need now is for monkey island 5, day of the tentacle 2, grim fandango 2 to be released and my world domination is final. Wuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Sadly, all those title license are still under Lucasarts. It was only Sam & Max license that had enforced expiration shall the acquired company fail to deliver a game within certain amount of years I think, or it was a limited time only until 2005.

Not that I want to spoil the occasion, but the worse thing is Lucas promised to get back the adventure games really, in 2015! I am not kidding. see this post for more information :S

http://www.mixnmojo.com/php/news/showfile.php?id=2064&category=lucasartsnews

We might be dead before we see it. And they still think fans will stay loyal to them?

[0renji]

Grr! Been up since 11 in the morning waiting... shame on you, America, for being stuck in the past. FOR SHAME.

I hope it's worth the waiting ;D

[Cpt_Beaver]

The annoying thing is, it is actually november 1st in america now

id love to agree but i have to say lucas probably doesnt care. they recently said in some article that basically trying new things made them a hit back then and they feel like they have to keep doing that. (although, they seem to have no problem going to the ol' star wars well)
seriously, i doubt they could care less.
but i need this game.
stat.

[Legolas813]

Isn't it that LucasArts still owns the rights to Hit the Road and Telltale was only able to make these games because Steve Purcell owns the rights to the comic book material and allowed Telltale rights to it?

[Gabelstapler]

a tip for the germans ... chill out by a episode of simpsons right now at pro7

[Real World]

Hello!

Well I've studied Greenwich Meantime and its different from CET
But in Europe we're all in line and that's no big problem for me, ha, ha
But over in the USA, while we're all having our tea
They're maybe just getting dressed, well that's no way to be.

Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind

Well I called them on the telephone during office hours
I'd spoken to their answerphone, some silly mumbling cow
She said "I'm sorry we're not open yet but have a nice day"
But it's gone noon, they're still in bed they're far behind in the USA

Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind

Good Lord, can't you hurry up
Americans are behind
Americans, get a move on now!

Good God, ??
Hardly dressed, get that thing inside your trousers, how dare you!

At the third stroke we will all have a jolly good time...
At the third stroke, at the fourth stroke, it will be...
the fifth stroke and the sixth stroke... oh, dear!

Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind

Precisely...

[Viewtiful Jim]

PC GAMES :
optimum :2400 mhz 512 mb ram
minimum : 800 mhz 256 mb ram

[Gabelstapler]

that should be suitable for all of us, or not ?

[Cpt_Beaver]

Well we(the British) ruled more of the world than anyone else, so nah

[Stefan]

I got so shocked when I saw the popup saying I got a new mail. But it was something else ;(

[Cpt_Beaver]

PC GAMES :
optimum :2400 mhz 512 mb ram

Yay im above optimum

[aufä]

PC GAMES :

Yes but we don't anymore :p

Okay, I had to be a part of this too. Woho!

[Plan3]

But we norwegians rule... lots of oil, elks and... ehhh... fjords!!!

I'm above optimum! YES!

Just flipping through the pages of this forum is getting me quite anxious! :eek:

I think I will get a good adrenaline (culture) shock when its on page !
( btw : last time the mail was 2 hours later in my account )

Nice song type thing

Indeed. A little known song by a fairly well known fella called Bruce Dickinson. I felt it was quite apt :P


Are we nearly there yet?

[aufä]

offtopic: i'm listening to the new single from pink ..

.."I'm not here for your entertainment ..." whats the name of that track !?!

it fits perfect to this waiting

[IronCladChicken]

Well we(the British) ruled more of the world than anyone else, so nah

The Monguls did better really - They ruled a much larger land mass than we ever did

The romans had much more style
The Greeks threw better parties
The French had more outrageous sex
& the Spanish were just mental

We on the other hand had three-million different versions of the spinning Jenny and invented concentration camps - yay us!

[PatboyX]

But adventure games made them wanted and loved. :(

oh, i agree. they gave them wiggle room to do whatever they want.
and i love those games...but i never hold it to artists/groups to "please their fans that were with them at the start." their job is to create games. if i like them, great. if not, i dont buy. done and done.
im just happy someone else got in to create more with these characters.

[Gabelstapler]

arrrghhh ... cant stand this ... I gotta smoke one !

[bashar]

Isn't it that LucasArts still owns the rights to Hit the Road and Telltale was only able to make these games because Steve Purcell owns the rights to the comic book material and allowed Telltale rights to it?

hmm... i could be wrong then. apologize to all adventure gamers if i am so :)

[Winckle]

Stop flooding! :D

Luckily I've got "Vice City Stories" to get me through this hard (waiting)times...

(Are you satisfied of your PSP?)

[Informagic]

im just happy someone else got in to create more with these characters.

I can't agree more. But I wonder about where the sense is behind Lucas Arts holding back all the licenses for their really great adventure games but never going to release a sequel anyway? Weird, weird world. :eek:

[DaEvilZombiePirateLeChuck]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen is it gonna come..................
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan't wait longer........................
Must play sooooooooooooooooooon............................. ............

Sorry for my inpatience but i've ben waiting here a really long time now.
Seriously does anyone know when we get it???
Cuz i neeeeeeeeeed it now!!!

[Plan3]

I'm gonna go play some game for 30 mins =p

[Giligan]

So, it's only 6:00 there, according to my calculations. Such a long time to wait! :eek:

[Laserschwert]

Lucky boy! It isn't out yet in Europe...
(Are you satisfied of your PSP?)

Yep, very satisfied... and the game rocks. Better setting and better graphics than "Liberty City Stories".

Anyway, to keep YOU people busy as well, why not enjoy the fabolous "Sam & Max Hit the Road"-soundtrack? Starting with...

01 - LucasArts Introduction (http://www.scummbar.com/mi2/SAMMAX/01%20-%20LucasArts%20Introduction.mp3)

02 - "Friends..." (http://www.scummbar.com/mi2/SAMMAX/02%20-%20%27%27Friends...%27%27%20(Complete).mp3)

More to come...

[Viewtiful Jim]

Lucky boy! It isn't out yet in Europe...
(Are you satisfied of your PSP?)

I totally WASN'T satisfied with my PSP until I got hold of a copy of Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. Not out in Europe yet (in UK myself) but def worth importing!:)

[abdallah]

Take a breathmint and calm down fancypants. :) Theyll probably announce it in this thread when we can start downloading.
That was meant for someone a few posts up by the way.

I can't agree more. But I wonder about where the sense is behind Lucas Arts holding back all the licenses for their really great adventure games but never going to release a sequel anyway? Weird, weird world. :eek:

[abdallah]

You know Morrissey is banned in these forums. Please dont quote him, its insulting.

[Informagic]

Wow! That's quite cynical and sarcastic. Do you have an exact citation? Like giving the christian name as well? I'd really like to post it on my homepage!
