Season One Case File! a progress update

[Jake]

As more and more of the Case File (http://www.telltalegames.com/store/samandmax-s1-file) rolls in, we're starting to get quite the collection of stuff. Here's a quick peek at a few of the items (the Alien Love Triangle Times front page, the Moon postcard, the case file envelope itself, and a printed mockup of the bear magnet).

http://files.telltalegames.com/misc/casefile1.jpg

The Case File will exist as a fully formed entity starting at our booth at Comic-Con next week (where we'll be manically assembling them in our hotel rooms and in the back of the booth when nobody's looking), after which point it'll also make its way to our shipping warehouse, and finally to your home, and, hopefully, your heart.

As more stuff filters in I'll try and post some more pics in this thread.

[AdamG]

Cooooooooooooool! :D

[Erwin]

Wow. I imagine it's almost like the early LucasArts days when their employees helped out as well, with packaging Monkey Island.

--Erwin

[Emily]

Wow. I imagine it's almost like the early LucasArts days when their employees helped out as well, with packaging Monkey Island.

This analogy has already been drawn by Dave Grossman, who helped with packaging Monkey Island. :D

[Laserschwert]

Did you actually try to fit a fully packed case file in the DVD-case? I'm a little worried that all the stuff might make the envelope too thick...

EDIT: By the way, it's looking sweeeeeeet...

[Jake]

It fits, but barely :) Theres a decent amount of space in there actually; the CD itself isn't very thick.

[Mel]

But if you put the magnet on the fridge (where it belongs), it might fit even better. :)

[Zeek]

Oooooooo... wait, is that actual newsprint paper you guys used for the Alien Love Triangle Times front page?

[xChri5x]

Why would you hide away all that stuff in the dvd case?

Put the magnet, Alien love triangle, and postcard on the fridge. Put the button on some article of clothing (hopefully it's one of those 1" buttons) and I'm really lost on the glasses...

[AdamG]

I'm pretty impressed by the bottom of the newspaper mock-up. Are they made to look torn like that, or did you actually rip that particular copy for some reason? It looks like it was made to look like how actual newspaper paper looks when it's ripped, how it can kinda fray off in layers.

[tabacco]

We hand-tore them all. Seriously. And yeah, it's actual newsprint.

[ReverendTed]

We hand-tore them all. Seriously. And yeah, it's actual newsprint.And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a "dedication to quality."
So you can make the claim that "no two are exactly alike"? "Each one a unique collector's item!"

[Mel]

Do the big kahunas (Dan and Kevin) have to stuff or tear or did they get out of that duty by virtue of their big kahunaness?

[Scummbuddy]

I can't wait to put my Case File next to my "Hit the Road" box.

By the way, can I blame you all if my "Hit the Road" floppies go bad because of an evil bear magnet?

[Zeek]

We hand-tore them all. Seriously. And yeah, it's actual newsprint.

SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!

I can only hope that in Season 2, one of the Bosco Tech weapons is a Yo-Yo and you guys actually front the money up to make a Season 2 Case File replica of said weapon!:D The attention to detail and dedication to authentisity rivals only your ability to give your customers more than what they expected for what they paid for!

[LuigiHann]

The attention to detail and dedication to authentisity rivals only your ability to give your customers more than what they expected for what they paid for!

I just hope they don't put that level of authenticity into the BoscoTech virulent disease... ;)

[Emily]

It's absolutely true that no two will be exactly alike. :D

So far Dan and Kevin have managed to look like they're very busy with important busines whenever we try to recruit them to stuff case files.* :p But Steve has expressed an interest in coming by to help!

The Alien Love Triangle Times is my favorite thing so far. (Then again, it's also the most recent. Before it was done, the envelopes with their official case file stamps were my favorite, and before that, the postcards...) They were printed on real newsprint by a local press, and Jake came up with the genius idea to print them two to a page (end to end) so that when you rip the page in half, you end up with two Alien Love Triangle Times front pages. I thought it would be hard to rip them well but it really isn't (it's just messy because your hands get covered with newsprint...)

When all's said and done, we'll do an expose on the making of the case file for the blog.

*On the other hand, Dan and Kevin sign the checks and therefore paid for the manufacturing of the case files, so they've already done their part...

[DrakeFox]

Each case file unique. Does that mean that someone might get a rare collector's edition with blood caused by paper cuts? Or is that too violent?

Seriously though. Hope none of my get any papercuts. Those are darn annoying.

And glad we're past the day of monkey island with the stuffing. Never got the original one (well at the time I was still playing around on my C128), but a magnet into a box with floppies is just asking for trouble.

Just hope that the hard edge a magnet represents won't potentially break the disc during transport from being pressed too closely against it.

[xChri5x]

Can we have an idea of what new Sam & Max merch is coming out?

[Jake]

It's some stuff people have been asking for, and some stuff people probably won't expect.


... how's that for an idea?


probably not so good, really. sorry :( more info coming soon!

[xChri5x]

So... action figures and halloween costumes?

[Kaldire]

oh oh i know! I know! but I wont ruin the surprise! eeek! Im so excited!

[Hero1]

So... action figures?

don't get me excited :eek:

[Zeek]

But Steve has expressed an interest in coming by to help!

I SENSE RANDOM AUTOGRAPHED CASE FILES!!

So... action figures and halloween costumes?

And a Max plush doll? *gets his debit card "at the ready"*

[Laserschwert]

I SENSE RANDOM AUTOGRAPHED CASE FILES!!

Actually I thought of this quite a while now... since he seems to be coming by the office from time to time, I assumed him randomly signing some of the DVD-covers and soundtracks... just to make some random people (like ME) happy.

[xChri5x]

How about DNA samples?

[Zeek]

Well, since they are hand-packing them, I'm sure we can get some kind of residue from at least the envelope.:p

[AdamG]

Good thing my minions recently finished the secret cloning laboratory. :I

[xChri5x]

Evil is a foot!

http://www.thetick.ws/images/tickshotinface.jpg

[Kaldire]

I love tic ! and freakazoid and dave the barbarian muhahaha lol. Bejabbers!

[purple_monkfish]

Oh man, don't get me all excited man! signed stuff would be far far too awesome. Mmmm residue... lol

[DarkMoS]

I second the Max plush doll ! It will replace the domo-kun pending on my car rear mirror :D

[Kaldire]

steve told me he wanted telltale to make mugs and a mini hard model deSoto with S&M in or on it. Course thats NOT what will be in the store lol. Just saying its a wish. I actually hope to see tons of max for pres stuff. It would sell like hotcakes

[Zeek]

I actually hope to see tons of max for pres stuff. It would sell like hotcakesI'm just waiting on the day some news station or paper reports the website as part of some kind of political humor report during the upcoming election similar to that whole "everyone and their dog is running for Gov. of Cali" thing.

[xChri5x]

hard model deSoto with S&M in or on it

Best thing they could ever put out...

Please Telltale!

[Derwin]

Can I request that my case file contains something that gave a paper cut to someone at Telltale?

[Zachspyfox033]

Is the BoscoTech virulent disease a real tissue with snot in it, or is it fake. (I want it to be fake)

[ReverendTed]

Is the BoscoTech virulent disease a real tissue with snot in it, or is it fake. (I want it to be fake)It is fake.

[Emily]

It is fake.

That's what you think... :p

[NickTTG]

In fact i was injected with a deadly virulent disease just so i could produce enough mucus for 2000 case files. It was a long weekend...

[Zeek]

In fact i was injected with a deadly virulent disease just so i could produce enough mucus for 2000 case files. It was a long weekend...

So Telltale isn't above torturing their interns as well, huh?

Well, Nick, look on the bright side, at least you are not interning for X-Play where you would be forced to cosplay as Drunk Link or some rediculous DDR all star or a male version of a female Final Fantasy character.

[NickTTG]

I'm down for Drunk Link! I might have to do a bit of character researching though. And plus, I've always wanted to be an elf... officially I mean.

[AdamG]

How about a gnome? Or an ogre, anyone want to be one of those? :p

[DrakeFox]

Good thing the case file is limited to what you're sending out then. Otherwise a single intern wouldn't be enough and people would be completely confused if they saw a want ad like : "Wanted, full time nose blower. Preferably allergic who don't mind working in close contact with nature to gain results. Minimum size 4 nose requirement. To apply, please sneeze into an envelope and mail to George Bush or Telltale games, depending on whether you want to go to jail or work for us."

[Cyberlink420]

I'm down for Drunk Link! I might have to do a bit of character researching though. And plus, I've always wanted to be an elf... officially I mean.

He's not an elf...at least, I don't think so. I always assumed the pointy ears meant he was of Vulcan descent...

[Zachspyfox033]

I wonder what the hypno-goggles will be like?

[NickTTG]

i thought someone here would have got my S&M joke... :( fans huh?

[AdamG]

Joke? What joke? Where? :confused:

[NickTTG]

I've always wanted to be an elf... officially I mean.

:( Anyone?

[AdamG]

That's a joke? :/ I thought you were serious. I mean, who wouldn't want to be an elf with all of those elven girls and all. :confused:

[NickTTG]

wow... someone needs to watch the episode 3 trailer again... I can't say I'm not a little hurt guys. And Adam... after all we've been through? tsk

[AdamG]

-scratches chin-

Hmmmmmm... Alright, well, I'll go see if I can find the episode 3 trailer.

[AdamG]

Ohhhhhh, yeah, I get it now. :) To be honest, I usually didn't see the episode trailers because I was usually too busy posting here instead.

[fajerkaos]

i thought someone here would have got my S&M joke... :( fans huh?

I got it... Just didn't bother posting about it :p *he says disturbingly late, and curls back into the corner*

[Zachspyfox033]

I wonder what the hypno-goggles will be like?

No one answered my question yet.

[Zeek]

I wonder what the hypno-goggles will be like?

A combination of those 3D film glasses and those cheap, non-functioning X-ray glasses?

[Jake]

They're paperboard 3D glasses style things, but with green hypno swirlies in the lenses, and some text on the sides identifying them as hypno prototypes.

[Kedri]

So my guess for all the things, before I found this topic, was...

Hypno-Goggles: Paperboard 3D-style glassed(I was right!)
Alien Love Triangle Times: Standard paper with front page printed on(Glad I was wrong. :D)
BoscoTech virulent disease: Standard napkin with Bosco Tech logo and a sticky substance on it, sealed in plastic.
Ted E. Bear fridge magnet: Printed on thin magnet strip.
Max for President campaign button: Typical round button.
Blister of Tranquility postcard: Standard paperboard postcard.

So...how many of these am I right on(No points for the first two, of course.)

[Emily]

The napkin is not sticky (unless we make it sticky during packing :p).

Otherwise, you're pretty close. I don't know how thin the magnet is, haven't seen them yet...

[Zeek]

I don't know how thin the magnet is, haven't seen them yet...
Hopefully it isn't the think kind of magnet where if you even slightly bend it, you end up breaking the sticker/print art in half.:(

[AdamG]

Well, the Case File costs $4.95 so we can't exactly expect top quality stuff like a 1/4" thick 6 ounce magnet or something. :p

[Derwin]

Not only do I expect it, I demand it!

[Zeek]

Well, the Case File costs $4.95 so we can't exactly expect top quality stuff like a 1/4" thick 6 ounce magnet or something. :p

Hey, I didn't expect them to use actual Newsprint to print a full-size front page of the Alien Love Trangle Times, let alone tear it off to look like it came straight from Sam & Max's corkboard they have in the office.

[AdamG]

Well, you know what I mean.

[Emily]

I just got into my hotel room (the flight Dave and I were on was delayed; everyone else got here hours ago) to find that Jake and Doug had left a couple of teddy bear magnets on the fridge.

They're awesome. :D

[Kedri]

Oo! Oo! Can I have one? :D

Er...now? :D

[xChri5x]

(Any word on the History of S&M?)

[Jake]

working on it now, chief :)


... but it won't be going up until some time tomorrow, because something extremely unprofessional seems to be going on with our office network, preventing me from logging in and checking anything in to deploy. This is what happens when the whole web team is also the whole marketing team (and therefore are all here at Comic-Con instead of back home near the servers and the deploy button).

:(

It's an awesome article, though! The best one of the four in my opinion.

[Zeek]

I just got into my hotel room (the flight Dave and I were on was delayed; everyone else got here hours ago) to find that Jake and Doug had left a couple of teddy bear magnets on the fridge.

They're awesome. :D

Are they thicker than a deli slice?

[dg10050]

Sooo, any more progress on these? Have you started shipping any of these out yet? My whole order is being delayed because of these things, so you guys had better pick up the pace. :P

[Emily]

As Jake mentioned, everyone who deals with this stuff is in San Diego, 500ish miles away from our office in San Rafael. (And we're working very hard!)

Next week when we get back, we will:

1) Sleep a little
2) Stuff case files
3) Send case files to the warehouse
4) Check email diligently until we get word that the warehouse has received the case files

Then they'll ship. :D

[AdamG]

How about coffee, will you drink lots of coffee? :p

[Kedri]

Woo! :D

[dg10050]

How about you just skip the sleeping and drink some coffee. As your paying customer, I demand that you do not sleep until my case file has been shipped. Unless you want me to take my business else ware. *Sticks nose into the air
:)

[Emily]

How about you just skip the sleeping and drink some coffee.

Did that already. ;)

Unless you want me to take my business else ware.

Then you can buy the case file from our competitors. :D

Originally we planned this out so that the case files would ship to the warehouse before we left for Comic-Con. We got all our stuff done in time, but then some of the vendors we were working with dropped the ball and delivered late. It's frustrating but there's nothing we could have done to prevent it.

[dg10050]

Heh, that's fine. My parents are actually in the promotional products industry, so they've had crap happen with vendors being late too. :P

[xChri5x]

I'd volunteer to stuff them if I lived remotely near there!

[AdamG]

-does not mind waiting-

[Derwin]

Then you can buy the case file from our competitors. :D

For a limited time only, buy the special Derwin Edition CaseFile! It includes all you see below!

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k41/dunnyedd/casefile.jpg

Now for only the Low Low Low price of $3.65 plus S&H!

Yay, it comes with an "I stepped on a coconut" post-it note, no case file is complete without one! *looking with disappointed eyes at telltale*

Sign me up for thirtytwo Derwin! One each to all my dead hamsters. (the poor bastards couldn't stay away from that open microwave *sobs*)

[Zachspyfox033]

You should put pictures of everything in the case file on the site.

[Badwolf]

Now for only the Low Low Low price of $3.65 plus S&H!

Seeing as there's a £5 note in there, and I'd only be paying the equivalent of about £1.83 for it and all the other stuff in there, I'd be a fool not to buy it!

Unless shipping happened to be a tenner. Then I'd pass.

[Derwin]

And a US dime!!!!

Order now! Oh, and fajerkaos, you are my new favorite person. Your microwave sounds like the greatest toy on the planet!

*S&H totals $653.13

[Kedri]

You have competition, Telltale...time to give out free rush delieveries! :D

[purple_monkfish]

I want! hahahha.. Actually, I just want that fiver.

[Kedri]

So, now that Telltale employees are posting again, can any of you tell us when it'll be shipping?

[AdamG]

Come on guys, give them some room to breath. They have a lot to do.

[Emily]

I stuffed about three hundred case files last night while watching Premonition. Not a great movie, but oh well, we're now 300 case files closer. :D

The schedule is still what I estimated last week -- we hope to get these things sent off to DR by Friday, which means they will arrive in DR's warehouse and start shipping to customers sometime next week.

[AdamG]

Good work, Emily. :D

[Emily]

http://files.telltalegames.com/productshots/casefile/casefile1.jpg

Some more pictures are now on the store page (http://www.telltalegames.com/store/samandmax-s1-file), too.

[AdamG]

Ewwww, Bosco really layed it on that napkin! :/

[fajerkaos]

I'm going to say this, and I hope that it will not hurt Derwin in any traumatising way... (or maybe I do?:D)

The Case File is awsome, I'm glad I ordered it even though I had to wait a little longer. That frige magnet is so going up on my frige, and I'm really like the look of that package you're using. Nice :)

[Derwin]

I still think mine is way cooler... it has all that stuff and more! Order now!

[Kedri]

Hooray! ^_^

So if I'm lucky, sometime next week?

[Dedlok]

Awww I was kinda hoping trhe button actually said "Max for President" on it. But it (and the other stuff) still look great!

[xChri5x]

The soundtrack packaging looks fantastic!!! I'm so glad I ordered it. The sketchbook is looking to be better then the first one too!

[AdamG]

The button says, "One Rabbit, One Law". :)

[Zeek]

Awww I was kinda hoping trhe button actually said "Max for President" on it. But it (and the other stuff) still look great!

Me too, actually. Or at least "Max in '08."

[ReverendTed]

"One Rabbit, One Law" is pretty intimidating, anyway.
(But I thought Max was a "rabbity-thing"...some unspecified lagomorph.)

[Kedri]

Quick! Emily! Watch more dull movies!

[Rasher]

I don't mind waiting either. Most companies wouldn't care enought to go thorugh the trouble of putting a case file together. You guys spoil us. Thanks :D

[Chuck]

"One Rabbit, One Law" is pretty intimidating, anyway.
(But I thought Max was a "rabbity-thing"...some unspecified lagomorph.)
You try fitting "One Rabbity-Thing...Some Unspecified Lagomorph, One Law" on a button.

[Jake]

"One Rabbit, One Law" is pretty intimidating, anyway.
(But I thought Max was a "rabbity-thing"...some unspecified lagomorph.)

"One Rabbit, One Law" was one of Max's campaign slogans from episode 4.

[Kesari]

But I thought Max was a "rabbity-thing"...some unspecified lagomorph

I think Sam calls him a rabbit sometimes and Max never corrects him. I like to think of Max as some kind of horrible mutation of a bunny rabbit.

[Porsmond]

So have any of the case files been sent yet??I was expecting my order to have been shipped by now, but it still says processing I think.Can someone check for me

Order Number: 5463566300

Thanks :)

[Emily]

No case files have been sent yet. We are aiming to ship some to the manufacturer at the end of this week (i.e. tomorrow), which means they will start shipping out to customers sometime next week (i.e. after August 5).

EDIT: First batch of case files shipping to our warehouse tomorrow!

http://files.telltalegames.com/blogs/casefiles.jpg

This only covers about 1/3 of the orders so far, but it's the first step. We are also moving out of our office and into a new one tomorrow, so things have been a little hectic. :p

[DrakeFox]

Good luck with the office move then. Very nice work on the case files. Hope you manage to find them again after the move, would be a pain to have to re-stuff. All the effort is very very much appreciated.

If I know office moves though it'll be a horrible mess for the next week or so...so, is there a chance of some of us suddenly finding someone's stapler with their order? Like ultra-collectibles. Someone going "Hey, has anyone seen my roll of tape? I thought it was here, but there's just another one of those stray fridge magnets"

[xChri5x]

Will the new office have a big Telltale logo carved into a giant boulder out front?

[AdamG]

Any chance for a blog entry with pictures of the new office? Pleeeeeeeeze!

[Jake]

There will be photos.

[Emily]

The case file pieces are not moving with everything else, because I'm terrified of losing them. They'll probably be living in the trunk of my car for a while.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

There will be photos.

Can't wait to see the conditions in which the Telltale team work! :D

[xChri5x]

The case file pieces are not moving with everything else, because I'm terrified of losing them. They'll probably be living in the trunk of my car for a while.

I hope they don't melt :P

[Mel]

I hope they don't melt :P

That would be a worry if she was in Central California, but the Bay Area doesn't get that hot.

[AdamG]

I don't care, trunk heat/smells would just make them more unique. :) The longer they stay in a car trunk, the more Sam & Max authentic they are. :p

[NickTTG]

hey just thought I'd let you guys know that my younger sister is coming in to work with me Monday to stuff case files. So you can't say we aren't busting our butts to get this stuff done. Emily is actually yelling at me to do more right now so I gotta go :)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

hey just thought I'd let you guys know that my younger sister is coming in to work with me Monday to stuff case files. So you can't say we aren't busting our butts to get this stuff done. Emily is actually yelling at me to do more right now so I gotta go :)

Make sure her hands are clean! I don't want my magnet covered in jam! :mad:

hehe, just kidding with you. ;)

[AdamG]

If I lived nearby, I'd help, but I'm like 1,750 miles away. So that's not gonna happen. :p

[Erwin]

I'm sure they'll be willing to pay for your ticket, Adam. (And raise the price for the case file a little bit.)

--Erwin

[ReverendTed]

hey just thought I'd let you guys know that my younger sister is coming in to work with me Monday to stuff case files.Good thing our benevolent President Sam...er, Max relaxed all those pesky child-labor laws, huh?

[AdamG]

I'm sure they'll be willing to pay for your ticket, Adam. (And raise the price for the case file a little bit.)

--Erwin

Well, if they wanted to, then I'd be right over. :p

[Derwin]

Hey Emily, since they are in your car you could just drive by each of our places and drop them off, right? You can make it to MT easily in 2-3 days, so I will be waiting patiently for your arrival on Monday.

[AdamG]

So will I! :D

[DrakeFox]

I don't care, trunk heat/smells would just make them more unique. :) The longer they stay in a car trunk, the more Sam & Max authentic they are. :p

It would only be truly Sam & Max Authentic if it was the trunk of a Desoto.

[dg10050]

...which means they will start shipping out to customers sometime next week (i.e. after August 5)...


It's after August 5th. Where's my case file? :P

[Jake]

It's after August 5th. Where's my case file? :P

hrm (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs)

[dg10050]

Hehe, I believe I'm quite spoiled by Newegg's super-fast shipping (Products tend to ship the day they're ordered). :P
Can't you guys be more like Newegg? After all, I payed you a whole $5 for this case file, plus that $0 for the Bonus Disk. Don't you guys care about your customers?

[Jake]

We do care about our customers. That's why we're packing every case file by hand.

[dg10050]

I think you should hire some more cheap labor (AKA interns). :)
I volunteer.

[Zeek]

I think you should hire some more cheap labor (AKA interns). :)
I volunteer.

Nick's been packing them. Hell, he even got his kin to help!

[Erwin]

There's no shortage of cheap labor around the old TTG office, believe me. I was almost afraid to park there, you know.

--Erwin

[Jake]

Those days are over!! We're in sweet new digs. Pictures coming soon.

Tomorrow actually.

[dg10050]

I guess you weren't exactly in the best part of town, huh? Don't worry, it happens to all start-up companies. And now you have a new office.

[Jake]

We worked in a very near approximation of Sam & Max's office. Or at least as near as you can find in the industrial/auto repair laden outskirts of San Rafael.

[DrakeFox]

And the office of Sam & Max was actually modelled after your own telltale HQ? Complete with tire marks on the wall?

[Mel]

There's no shortage of cheap labor around the old TTG office, believe me. I was almost afraid to park there, you know.

--Erwin

They might have used the napkins for their lunch instead of putting them in the case files (there was a Taquiera in the same strip mall that overflowed at lunch time). :D

[Hero1]

does the new place have a tram cart that leads to your own restaurant?

[tabacco]

does the new place have a tram cart that leads to your own restaurant?

It looks a little more gator golf than ball of twine, I'd say:

111

(Apologies for cell phone camera photo)

[Rasher]

Nice! Greenery and what looks like a lake. very serene. Are those shimmering, ghost-like things billboards? Very creative form of advertising.

[Hero1]

Looks like that 6 million is being put to good use..

[Guybrush Threepwood]

It looks a little more gator golf than ball of twine, I'd say:

(Apologies for cell phone camera photo)

If you look closely you can see me hiding behind that blade of grass...
no, not that one - the one to the left of that...

[Erwin]

It looks a little more gator golf than ball of twine, I'd say:

111

(Apologies for cell phone camera photo)

That view is almost as good as the ones they had on Skywalker Ranch, Doug! :D

And Emily can finally get rid of that steering wheel lock she keeps in her car (probably to hit assaulters on the head, 'cause I didn't see it on her wheel).

--Erwin

[Mel]

I love the view!

[dg10050]

Nice! Greenery and what looks like a lake. very serene. Are those shimmering, ghost-like things billboards? Very creative form of advertising.

Or maybe he just took the photo through a glass window and those "shimmering, ghost-like things" are reflections. :P
Unless, you're being sarcastic, of course.

[Emily]

And Emily can finally get rid of that steering wheel lock she keeps in her car (probably to hit assaulters on the head, 'cause I didn't see it on her wheel).

Oh, I don't actually use that thing. I just keep it because it reminds me of when I was in college. It's like a security blanket for cars.

In college I got to sleep in. And I definitely didn't spend my nights hand-stuffing case files. :p

[Erwin]

Oh, I don't actually use that thing. I just keep it because it reminds me of when I was in college. It's like a security blanket for cars.

Uhuh... I find it difficult to part with my collection of empty candybar wrappings and coke cans too, so I know exactly what you mean! :D

--Erwin

[DrakeFox]

Very nice. Good view, even if the lake looks a bit like it's considering doing swamp as timeshare. Well you need swamp for gators.

Just beware of whatever comes out of the lake where you're at. Nothing worse than having swamp thing steal your car for a joyride. He'd probably drive back into the swamp, or at least leave the seats all dirty.

[tabacco]

That's actually san francisco bay, so it's tidal, which is why there's a bit of mud in that photo :)

[barchetta]

Uhuh... I find it difficult to part with my collection of empty candybar wrappings and coke cans too, so I know exactly what you mean!

Man, who's so dense to collect that?!

Here's the same view slightly more to the south, and taken with a real camera.

Wow. You guys sure got a scenic location.

[Laserschwert]

Is the water clean enough to go for a swim?

I wouldn't. It's freezing cold, anyway. Plus that little lagoon in the foreground is only about a foot deep. At low tide it's just mud.

[Laserschwert]

Still, just thinking of a company BBQ down there makes me wish to work for Telltale (besides other reasons). You're not in need of 3D-animators, are you?

[Hero1]

I hope that lagoon has a blue line that you can't cross.. and where's the closet to store brendan?

Brendan has been updated to a closet with window view.

:D:D:D:D How kind.. Just make sure you never feed him after midnight, and do not get water on him!

[AdamG]

OOooooo, cooool. :D Anyone try fishing out there?

Laserschwert's picture made me snort with laughter. I don't snort ... usually.

Well... it isn't fishing. But it is a body of water. :p

Wow, even your pets have nicer working conditions than I've ever had!

[Erwin]

Hehe :)

A closet with a window isn't bad at all. Especially if the closet's the biggest room in the building. (Reminds me of Futurama)

A surprisingly accurate depiction of the water just outside our office at low tide.

:D

Now all you need is a proper Max costume (and a dunk tank) for the intern (Nick at the moment) so everyone else can practice their golf swing during breaks.

[Zeek]

But where will they get the infinate supply of golf balls/fish?

[Dedlok]

I dunno about an infinate supply, but an infinite supply can be acquired with enough funds. :)

And once they move away from the premises the next owners will be wondering about why their neighbouring stretch of ocean is white and bumpy

I got my case file today, and I have to say, you guys put a lot of neat little extras in there.

I especially love the back page of the Alien Love Trangle Times.:D Here's hoping Ted is alright and makes the much-wanted cameo in Season 2!

[HeidiLynn84]

Can you post a picture of everything in the case file?

[Jake]

Check out the pics on the Case File's store page (http://www.telltalegames.com/store/samandmax-s1-file)

[HeidiLynn84]

Yeah, but those pics don't include the "extras" Zeek alluded to. I want to see the plastic bag and the other side of the alien love triangle.

[Mel]

For the plastic bag, look at my pics in this post (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=38009&postcount=6). :)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

As for the back of the Love Triangle Times, you should wait and see so it doesn't spoil the suprise (that's what I'm doing)! :)

Sometimes a plastic bag is just a plastic bag.

Don't worry plastic bag, he didn't mean it. You're not like the rest of them.

Yet another pointless achievement! 300 posts.

And trust me, it's worth the wait. Same goes for the back of the Postcard and the "lab text" on the side of the Hypno-Goggles.
