Two guys from "Acquisitions" that are hard to recognize for some reason.
And the wonderful Jared Emerson-Johnson calling us all stupid :)

whoa you guys did almost exactly what I wanted to see in this thread here (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15594)..

I think the obvious thing that everyone wants is poorly acted infomercials where the TTG staff act overly frustrated playing other peoples games and then instantly happy playing the new S&M:TDP there could even be some snuggies style raising of the roof (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeM4GMGWInY)... if it feels right guys no showboating.

I think the only way it could get better is if you guys flew over Silverwolfpet and his brother to play infomercial hosts talking about your products.... but after all that it would probably cost more money than they spent making slap chop commercials (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLqPeMku4vg)

I wouldn't mind if they went for a more avant-garde or cubist design ethic in their visual designs. It could be quite stimulating!

Watch it in 720P to get the full effect of... discovering these videos on an unmarked VHS in a drawer in a basement.

How many of those you have done anyway?

They are awesome by the way. There's more commercials for other toys?

Thanks! Suro and I worked hard on them. There's one more for the future vision meant to pop up somewhere exclusive, ala the one for Joystiq, which has my personal favorite testimonial. I'll repost that here as soon as I see it up.

Also the voice was our partner in crime: teh nikkasaur

I guess that's what happens when it's not your first language :p But you'd know about that I guess >.>

The worst is Will (sorry, Will) whenever he speaks in something (video, audio, etc), I need to pause and let my brain catch up. He speaks so fast! If we were face to face he would speak, then on my forehead you'd see "Processing..." for a minute, and only then would I be able to answer.

(By the way, sorry for being thick, but the number one reason for divorce, is it owning the future-vision, or not owning it? Because I could see both.)

puzzlebox

04/16/2010, 04:40 pm

Inconsequential.

I was going to say, "probably nikasaur". Now I'm saying, "definitely nikasaur".

That is entirely up to what kind of relationship you have with your partner I'm afraid :/

The only Telltaler I understand mostly at the first try is Nikki. Everyone else I have to put more attention than usual.

Well, in this specific video I understood everyone from the first time around, except I misinterpreted "America's number one reason for divorce" as meaning "America IS number one reason for divorce" because the sentence didn't have an end.

In this video they are putting a lot of enphasis in talk the best they can. But, in the live video streaming, I always understand Nikki, maybe Carl, and someone else I don't remember now, but, everyone else is like the Charlie Brown's Teacher to me. I guess after a week hearing them I'll keep up (It's like the amount of time I needed for understand TV Shows in English), because I think my ears are better than my eyes, at least in human standarts.

Where? When? How? Gimme!

Some live video streaming they did after the end of monkey island for telltale heart. I don't know if they have any records of this, but then is when my running gag of go to bed come.

Zeek

Huh, I always wondered what Bob's voice sounded unfiltered. Nice to see that if the whole COPS thing doesn't work out, his voice box can get a nice career in narration.

Oh that. Yeah, I wasn't around then. Only became active in 2010.
The way you said it I thought it was not only still going on these days, but regularly at that!
For a second I thought I had really been missing out.

Good times, my favorite was when David was on and any time he started talking Nikki would suddenly get really excited about something random and interrupt him.

I liked when they decided to put away the Product Placement and someone, I don't remember who, from the Chat said "No! I have a question for those Pack Oreos!" or something among this lines =P

Just use your Future Vision Toy to find out whether they will be!

Zeek

04/18/2010, 06:18 am

Yeah, but what would I aim it at? If I aim it at my computer that's playing the video, it will only tell me the future of what i will be doing on that computer similar to when you use it on the radio at Stinky's...

Look, if they KNOW THE FUTURE, and they ALREADY KNEW I'D BUY IT, they should have been able to anticipate demand. They should have known EXACTLY how many people were going to call and have the exact right number of people on the other end.

This just goes to show that not even premonition can assure quality customer service.

Which means they're making us wait on purpose. Probably because they're too busy winning the lottery and similar stuff.
