I too want to extend my thanks to you wonderful people! I had a nice stash of Oreos, filled with fan love goodness.

You guys are awesome! Best first week at dream job ever!

What kind of wine did you get? http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Melanie68/Smilies/party35.gif

A merlot and a chardonnay. :D
Mel

Mmmmm. I think you need to get some nice cheese to go with that. :)

Yah, thanks everyone!!! I think i ate half the stash myself. Not much left besides the Pepperoni Stick which i think Emily is saving for herself :)

Thank you so much, friends! Your generosity is very touching, not to mention great tasting and less filling. I've got to start designing games faster so I can get fed more often.

Haha, yes, if you guys finish season 2 in a week, you can get snacking again! ;)

This is awesome. This morning I'm enjoying fresh fruit, and can report that the ********* held up well. The wine went with us on a company outing. We forgot to bring an opener, but it was nice to have it along just the same.

You guys rock.

Heh... Dave just discovered that I've had the word "pineapple" in the censor list for months now. I never thought anyone would actually send us a pineapple :)
Dave Grossman
05/10/2007, 09:26 am
Do I win a prize? Oh wait, I think I just did, and it was a pineapple.
ShaggE
05/10/2007, 09:33 am
Should I ask why "pineapple" was censored? :P
tabacco
05/10/2007, 09:35 am
To see how long it would take 'til someone noticed :)
ShaggE
05/10/2007, 11:44 am
Took long enough :P

I had a short-lived forum once, where I filtered certain words to display as "ShaggE is a god". Confused the hell out of everyone :D

I'd mail pepperoni to anyone who makes a Sam & Max game I can play on my Wii.*

Kudos to the forumers who organized this. Now I feel bad for not pitching in.

*Edit: That sounded... wronger than I intended XD

You forgot the corkscrew!?! Oh pineapple!

Did anyone have a Swiss Army knife (they have a little corkscrew in them). Sorry. I'm obsessing over the wine. :o

We got another gift 'basket' today! Thanks again, guys... Nick is crawling around in the planters out front collecting ants as I type this :)

Damn.. for some reason I thought sending gifts sounded like a bad idea so I didn't donate anything.. but seeing how much fun they're having with this stuff, I wish I had.

Well, next time! :eek:

It was in Episode 6, so I thought it would be a funny gag gift. :p Some donaters were afraid you guys would be offended at the award, but I know you guys have humor so I didn't think you would take it personally. :)

05/10/2007, 03:30 pm
Wha? The award is awesome :)

The fact that the rotating base also color-shifts its lighting just makes it 200x better
AdamG
05/10/2007, 04:09 pm
:p There's one more wee gift comming BTW, I'm not sure when it's going to get there though because it was backordered (even though they changed it to instock before I ordered...).

Great photos tabacco! my favorite gift was the ant farm :)

Woo! I'll have to order one. I'm obsessed with all things spork :D

(But not the spork's half-cousin, the infamous foon)

Is it a spoon bend talisman? :p

You are seriously spoiling them!
Jake
05/10/2007, 05:34 pm
It appears to be a spork-titaniuming talisman, but it only worked once.
AdamG
05/10/2007, 08:18 pm
Good for eating coleslaw too, and um... I dunno, something! Coleslaw rocks! :D

Don't forget to take a couple pictures of the ants sometime, that would be cool. :)

I'm glad you guys liked the gifts. We'll try to get you more stuff next season.
However, if anyone can bend the spork with their mind, I'll personally buy them a car.*



*Does not guarantee a life-sized running automobile. Hotwheels comes to mind.

EDIT: Is it just me or do you guys play indoor office hockey(the net)?

Good thing you added that last line there. Who knows what kind of wizards they have working at their place, seeing as they are able to manufacture such great games in such short spaces of time? One of them must have the ability to bend time, and therefore I'm sure one of them has the ability to bend sporks with their mind as well. You never know, at least not when you're not adhering to reason or logic in any way. :D

"There is no spork..."

Anyway, congratulations with a season well done, Telltale Games! ;)

I bought my boyfriend the exact same ant farm (without the light) and he's not used it yet. :(
AdamG
05/17/2007, 02:22 pm
Hopefully the ants don't consume their entire little ecosystem there. Kinda suck if they had no where to go and starved. :/

That is why I recommended the carnivorous plants! Overpopulation is never a problem when something higher in the food chain is hanging out next door.

If only dinosaurs still were around, us humans would not have to worry about world hunger and overpopulation... and I am sure most mother-in-laws would be taken care of too.
AdamG
05/17/2007, 04:46 pm
We can always get carnivorous plants next time. ;)
Derwin
05/18/2007, 11:03 am
If we have enough money next time, how about an anteater? Granted, they make more of a mess than a carnivorous plant, but are so much cooler!

I can never be pleased, can I?
AdamG
05/18/2007, 12:18 pm
Anteater? Hmmm, I guess we'd have to buy it from a zoo...

P.S. The last gift was discontinued, so I used the refund to get something else. It should be there in 7-10 days. :)
tabacco
05/18/2007, 01:12 pm
Aw... what was the discontinued one?
AdamG
05/18/2007, 03:33 pm
It was an electronic killer rabbit. :p
Derwin
05/20/2007, 12:50 am
Now that makes me sad... they would have loved that one. I just hope this episodic gifting model doesn't correlate to season two of Sam & Max:

"The last episode of the season was developed and ready to be shipped to all subscribers, but has been discontinued before delivery. Wait seven to ten days and we shall ship you a different program."

Ok, not very likely to occur, and doesn't really make much sense, but still a nightmare for me.
AdamG
05/22/2007, 11:46 am
Well, the replacement ended up costing about 40% more then what it replaced, so if an episode was delayed two weeks but was that much longer I wouldn't have much problem with it. ;) The replacement is mooooooore...... useful... I suppose. :)
AdamG
05/23/2007, 12:45 pm
FYI, the last gift is scheduled for delivery on the 29th. :)
AdamG
05/27/2007, 01:13 pm
Alright, last gift is on schedule for the 29th still. :) I think you guys/girls will like it a lot.
AdamG
05/29/2007, 02:12 pm
Did the package get there yet today? :/
Jake
05/29/2007, 02:30 pm
Yeah! We can't figure out how to make it work right, but it's there. Awesome!
Ryan
05/29/2007, 03:47 pm
I threw it and it hit a monitor then I ran...
ShaggE
05/29/2007, 04:34 pm
What's the mystery gift?
AdamG
05/29/2007, 05:20 pm
I said what it was on the secret boards before I closed it for the season, but it's a remote controlled bi-plane. :)
ShaggE
05/29/2007, 05:44 pm
Oooh, nifty! (I never went to the secret boards)
Derwin
05/30/2007, 07:23 am

I am glad to see TTG employees are about as responsible as I am... that is why I like you all so much :)
AdamG

You guys/girls figure out how to fly that darn bi-plane yet? :p
Jake
06/04/2007, 08:46 am
We found that throwing it out of the window (we're on the 2nd floor) generally yields a good flight. Just tossing it around the office always makes it crash into the floor or into someone's face. Awk-ward!

Especially awkward for whoever had their eye gouged out by the propeller. :p

Try not to hit civilians on the street. You don't want a law suit on your hands!

Ha ha, sounds like something Sam & Max would do! :p Same floor too! :D

We should have given them a gun instead then. :D

Or a ticking bomb in the shape of a mad scientist's head. Sam & Max throw them out of second floor windows!

If you were wanting to buy them something that Sam & Max threw out a window, you should have bought them a bowling ball, of course.



But then I'd be sad if they didn't name it Lou.
AdamG
06/10/2007, 05:29 pm
I doubt that would be as gratifying as flying a plane into someone's face. :p Might be interesting seeing how many times it would take to drop the bowling ball out the window before it shattered... The cops would be pissed though. :/
