A fun guessing game! (now with awesome prize)

[U-can't-buy-luv]

Can you guess the release date of the first episode of the sam and max season 2? I just hope it will be sometime soon! :cool:

EDIT: This is now an official Telltale contest! See here (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=39715&postcount=14) for the incredibly restrictive rules and the awesome prize.

[Hero1]

October 25

[xChri5x]

NOVEMBER 16th!!!!

[Cyberlink420]

Smarch 32nd.

[jmm]

Smarch 32nd.
I thought the release was on this fall :D

November 8th

[backslash]

October 29th - 10.04am and 23.17 seconds GMT(-6:00)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

October 28th!
(random guess)

[patters]

hopefully after the 13th of october (dream theater that day yay but i need to get some money for it)

[backslash]

October 28th!
(random guess)
I think they'd be sleeping in on Sunday :P

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I think they'd be sleeping in on Sunday :P

Is that a Sunday? I didn't even check the day of week, I just said a random number. :D

Alright, 25th!

[patters]

Is that a Sunday? I didn't even check the day of week, I just said a random number. :D

Alright, 25th!

25th is a saturday and its downloadable so day can change easily

[Guybrush Threepwood]

25th is a saturday and its downloadable so day can change easily

25th is a Thursday, I believe.

[NickTTG]

December 14!

[Emily]

Let's turn it into a contest - anyone who guesses the right date will get a signed limited edition Comic-Con 2007 Printerloper mailed to them. :)

One guess per person (if you already posted more than one guess, please edit it to the one you really think it'll be!)

Telltale employees are not eligible to win... however they can just walk over to my desk and grab a Printerloper, so it's not such a big loss.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

What's a Printerloper?
Also - what was the timeframe you said that the episode would be released in, Emily?

[Emily]

It's a print version of the Interloper (Telltale's email newsletter) that we did special for Comic-Con.

The game will be released sometime in Fall 2007, which is between September 21 and December 21.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Alright, nice. I'll stick with the 25th of October.

[Silly Bob]

I;m gonna go with October 31, Halloween I don't know, it just seems right.

Is October 31 halloween?

Is there an October 31?

[taumel]

Funny, in germany fall begins this year on the 23.9.2007 at 11:51...

[NickTTG]

is that a joke? 11:51? I know nothing of the german ways, so don't yank my chain

[patters]

25th is a Thursday, I believe.

haha you didnt fall for my lie ( and if you didnt buy that i got the dates wrong)

[taumel]

@NickTTG
Due to the astronomical calculations...or maybe 23, the illuminates are behind this?! :O)

[Harald B]

October 16th

[patters]

ill go for october the 18th

[Guybrush Threepwood]

The fight is on! :D

[Emily]

Actually I might be wrong about Sept 21 and Dec 21 being the equinox and solstice dates. Sometimes it's the 21st, sometimes the 20th or 22nd... I'm too lazy to look it up.

But I can assure you all that our game will launch sometime between Sept 21 and Dec 21. :D

[RabidZombie]

H4x! You didn't specify whether it'd be the Gametap or Telltale Website release date! Now none of us can win!

Anyway, I guess BLAH CHANGED!. Unless anyone has already taken that.

Edit: Cryptic Hints from Emily (see below). November the 15th is a Thursday so I'll go with this.

[taumel]

I suggest that each person who enters a date and can name a character in Season 2 will get a free copy. :O) I'll start and name this white fleecy lifeform with the long ears a "Sam" and i say 23.9 (won't happen but i like the 9 more than the 10 and i'm pretty confident it comes in late october/early november. Episode1 in Season1 was released on the 17.10.2006, right? November is also a great sounding month...november...NOVEMBER...*echoing*

[Badwolf]

19th of October is my guess.

(Is this for the Gametap or Telltale release, by the way?)
EDIT: Erk, beaten to the question.

[Cyberlink420]

In that case, ignore what I said about Smarch. Rather, I'm guessing...

NOVEMBER 7TH

[TrogLlama]

I'm guessing November 19.

[Emily]

The GameTap release and the Telltale release are only one day apart. If you get either of those dates correct, you'll be a winner.

(Hint: GameTap usually releases stuff on Thursdays...)

[patters]

can you set up a calender with everyones entries on so we can see what dates have been taken
please

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I shall do so, in groovy graphical form!
One moment!

(If Emily wants to do a proper one, go ahead. I'm just bored! :D)

[patters]

Brilliant then we will be able to track who has which date

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Trust me, I tried things. I even tried using the Season 2 page and turning the trailer rectangle into the calendar and stuff. Then I thought I'd try it using HTML, but I remembered my knowledge on that is limited.

So, a lot of time went into this, and not a lot came out of it. :D I'm sure the Telltale team could do better, should they wish. I'll update this one from time to time until then.

http://i2.tinypic.com/4p18rde.png

[War-overlord]

I'm guessing November 9th. As long as a wait it might be, we can sit it out. It will be worth the effort.

[freakazoid]

I'm goin with October 10th. 10-10 just screamed at me.:eek:

[patters]

well done guybrush(no underscore) threepwood it looks pretty good

[NickTTG]

I believe I coined that phrase sir! UTFS! NOOB!!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

well done guybrush(no underscore) threepwood it looks pretty good

I'll take your word for it. :D I probably won't end up updating it (if anyone else wants to add to mine as we go along, feel free - or even make a new, better one!).

[taumel]

@Guybrush Threepwood
Nice picture! I smell a gaussian distribution curve...

[Squinky]

I'm guessing November 23 -- my birthday.

[patters]

I believe I coined that phrase sir! UTFS! NOOB!!

maybe so but the problem is that it fits perfectly (and it can't really be coined as it is just a description of his name)

[ShaggE]

My guess is September 27th-- Wilford Brimley's birthday.

[Christovsky]

November 3rd. I think most came out close to the beginning of the month last season.

[NickTTG]

@patters

i actually have no more to say. i just wanted something to keep me away from rolling posters

[tobar]

November 17th :cool:

[patters]

@patters

i actually have no more to say. i just wanted something to keep me away from rolling posters

aww poor nick I'm sorry

[Silly Bob]

I believe I coined that phrase sir! UTFS! NOOB!!

Consider yourself officially shunned by Silly Bob, for that comment, I'm a guy you want to know, and now you can't.



Just kidding, c'mere, gimme a hug.

for some reason I get the feeling my guess placed it ona Sunday, that doesn't bode well for my, "never win contests" running streak.

[meelWORM]

October 11

[Dedlok]

I'd say.... November 15th.

[MeaningOfLife]

Come on guys, use your noggins! Telltale would like to get this highly anticipated software out before the Christmas season, which means it starts around the end of November. Therefore, I say it will be released on Monday, November 9.

[DarkMatt]

November 2nd :)

[U-can't-buy-luv]

November 13th

It sounds right

[ShiratoriNinjaBrat]

November 1st.. i hope i hope i hope.

[Kitmit13]

october 12th

[Jekill]

september 20th

edit: rats, thats not even fall

september 27th

[wiedo]

November 22, don't know why.

[unsilviu]

october 25th! :)

[Jake]

Today! (http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmaxseasontwo)

just kidding. it's not today :(

[Guybrush Threepwood]

If it comes out on November 8th, I'll be annoyed - that was my second choice.

[Porsmond]

Gone through this topic, and it appears no one has said October 26th, so thats my offical guess, Cheers

Looking forward to season 2 though, just watched the video and started to drool,Looks great, I cant wait :)

[some nerdy guy]

September 13. Please, it's my birthday. That would be the best gift ever!!!!!

[RyanL]

Oh me! Me! I say December 6th

[Dangerzone]

i will throw my name in the hat as well and try to guess both dates... i say October 18-19th (because i will be in court, and new stuff is usually released when i am away)

[Badwolf]

Dangerzone: Patters beat us both to the 18th =P. I've changed mine to the 19th since.

[patters]

Dangerzone: Patters beat us both to the 18th =P. I've changed mine to the 19th since.

haha its a popular choice

[Dangerzone]

i am looking for the rule that says "there will be only one winner" :rolleyes:

oh.. and P.S. ( i hope i did my math right) we have a 1/62 chance of getting it right ;) ... i will take those odds, and i am sure there will be more than 62 entries anyways

[AllenB]

October 10th.

[Kedri]

November 8th?

*Crosses fingers*

Two months...I hope they don't get stuck this way...man, it's hard to type...

[Junaid]

October 16

[RabidZombie]

I'd say.... November 15th.

I took that before you by about 20 mins! Sorry.

You can have the 16th though (I think).

[Kedri]

I took that before you by about 20 mins! Sorry.

You can have the 16th though (I think).
As many people can guess one day as they want.

[Dangerzone]

silly rabbit... Trix are for kids

[chrisff1989]

October 1st.

[brady culture]

If i dont win i will be.:mad::mad::mad: but heres my guess. nov(short for november). 13

[freakazoid]

sorry AllenB, i got October 10th. please check your number and dial again.

[wiedo]

September 13. Please, it's my birthday. That would be the best gift ever!!!!!

My birthday is September 16th, but Fall begins at 23, so it's almost impossible it's released on or before our birthday.

[Zachspyfox033]

September 22

[mhaley]

I took that before you by about 20 mins! Sorry.
sorry AllenB, i got October 10th. please check your number and dial again.
I wasn't going to post, seeing as all of the good guesses have already been made, but then meelWORM pointed out that Emily had never stated that two people could not choose the same date.

Anyway, I'm fairly confident about November 1st. More specifically, the GameTap release on November 1st, and the Telltale (worldwide) release on November 2nd.

[TheAnimist]

I wasn't going to post, seeing as all of the good guesses have already been made, but then meelWORM pointed out that Emily had never stated that two people could not choose the same date.
Good point mhaley/meelWORM.

My guess would be October 4(Gametap)-5(Worldwide).

[patters]

Good point mhaley/meelWORM.

My guess would be October 4(Gametap)-5(Worldwide).

you are supposed to only guess one date and if the game is released by either on that day you win (to my understanding)

EDIT: the same should be said of mhaleys date

[TheAnimist]

you are supposed to only guess one date and if the game is released by either on that day you win (to my understanding)

Ah, ok, then I choose Oct. 5.

[mhaley]

the same should be said of mhaleys date
My choice is November 1st. I added my two cents on the GameTap and Telltale release dates, but I realize that is not part of the contest. I'm sorry if this caused any confusion.

[wiedo]

maybe it's time to make list with everybody's guesses.

[patters]

there was one earlier in the thread which guybrush did and said if anyone wanted to update it they could

[Haggis]

October 18.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Updated version with the latest entries. Took a long time to sort everyone into the right order. Phew!

http://i2.tinypic.com/4mmyanr.png

[dloeke]

29th of November. :)

[Marty]

November 20th

[Haggis]

Updated version with the latest entries. Took a long time to sort everyone into the right order. Phew!
Uh, I'm listed under October 17, but the guess I posted is October 18, so you may want to look into that. :)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Apologises. I knew I'd probably make some mistakes. I'll go fix that now. :)

[patters]

[toppersworld]

[Ooze33]

[tobar]

I've been immortalized in sig form! The memory of me shall go on forever(or until he gets tired of it)! :D

*marks a check on his list of life goals*

[redmartian50]

10 Nov

[Kitmit13]

I hope its soon, septemeber or october would be nice. They shouldn't be realeasing trailers and screenshots if they don't plan to realease it till december D= I'll explode! But Im really excited the new game looks awesome

[jab2565]

I was going to say october 10th but I'm going to go for one no one has mentioned yet.October 20th

[Emily]

Um, yeah, it's fine if more than one person guesses the same date. Someone mentioned it above, but I wanted to clarify. There can be multiple winners.

Also we are still working with GameTap to finalize the date, so right now your guess is as good as ours. :D But we have a pretty good idea of when it'll be, and it should be officially announced in a week or two.

Do we win a prize if we guess the date of the announcement of the release date? Cause if we do I guess September 9th!

[pifish]

October the 4th.

[azza29]

November 1st

[some nerdy guy]

Monday, no wait friday, no next year, I mean in the year 3084 BC. Or maybe September 13. Nah I will stick with cheese.

Yep, read the first page. :)

*slips Emily a tenner* Well? ;)

[giant_frying_pan]

Monday the 15th of October 2007 for Gametap customers.
Tuesday the 16th of October 2007 for the Telltale Store.

[OMA]

Ok, I'll give it a try :)
October, 26th

[Christovsky]

Great job, Guybrush :)

[Captin Shmit]

November 22nd is my guess and quarter birthday. (three months after one's actual birthday, duh)

This date also happens to be Lebanon's Independence Day and Patsy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Gilliam)'s birthday!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Great job, Guybrush :)

Thanks. I'll either update it later today or tomorrow. :)

[zozenka]

I'd say December 13th.
Just have a little patience...but it'll be worth it, I just know it ;)

[Yit]

October 4. (my birfdays)

PLZKTHXBAI!

Seriously, that would make me happy.

[bubbles]

November 21st

[Mack Daddy]

I'll go with October 22nd!

[Kaldire]

Halloween would be wicked awesome 31st Oct... but I dont think I want that to be my official guess..
Nov 1st was the air date for glitch in time.. that would be a bit interesting.
Ill go with Nov 1st so add me to that tally! lol

[purple_monkfish]

Umm... Well it said fall, which suggests sept/october. right? or is it Obtober/November, I always get confused. The equinox is on the 23rd of September. So ermm... I say November 18th.

[Rasher]

October 22, my birthday! Ok, so my birthday is on the 21st, but that's a Sunday. I chose the Monday after.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Updated! :) Edit: I just noticed I've accidently put 'th' on some that should be 'nd', and vice versa. Sorry.

http://i3.tinypic.com/4p4bu6e.png

[tobar]

bubbles' entry looks a might iffy as well. ;)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

bubbles' entry looks a might iffy as well. ;)

It only happened on some of the entries that were posted after my last update, and when I was noting the dates down I didn't put endings on them, so I just slapped on 'th' and 'nd's without really looking. :D

[barchetta]

Tomorrow!
Erm, no. October 9.

[Cantatus]

Put me down for 10/25 please!

[Steve2000]

I'll go with November 6th.

[Kedri]

Just me being an idiot really...

[Kedri]

From a hint in the Adventure Gamer's prieview that came out today, coupled with spoilers I glanced at the PAX prieview, I'm going to cautiously change my guess date to November 22nd.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

You really shouldn't repost the list every time someone guesses. ;)
But when you say:
From a hint in the Adventure Gamer's prieview that came out today, coupled with spoilers I glanced at the PAX prieview, I'm going to cautiously change my guess date to November 22nd.
What do you mean?

[jmm]

The episodes, which will be referred to numerically this season as 201, 202, etc., will follow roughly the same schedule as last season, so we should once again see a slightly longer gap between episodes 1 and 2, followed by a monthly release between episodes after that.

12345 chars

[jared25]

Im going with September 24th.. THE DAY BEFFORE HALO 3 uh because after halo3 comes out no other games will exist. Bring on september 24th

[MrSneeze]

22 October 2007.

[MeaningOfLife]

"When it's done!"

Wait, is it done yet?

[akajackfrost]

Can I get in on this for October 30th?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I'll be updating my image every time someone gets knocked out.

[Kedri]

You really shouldn't repost the list every time someone guesses. ;)
But when you say:

[see post]

What do you mean?
Hm, you're right. I shalln't, then. But I'm referring to the Adventure Gamer's hint: "Max might want a jacket in this episode," or something like that.

[jmm]

"When it's done!"

Wait, is it done yet?

Hopefully, before DNF






For those who didn't catch the reference, google for 'Duke Nukem Forever'

[freakazoid]

When the Adventure Gamers article said: "Max might want a jacket in this episode," they were referring to the NEW location in the new episode.

[All hail Max]

Ooh I love randomly guessing. I'll go with November 27th becasue I fell like it

[Kord]

Now, holy Graham Cracker!

Didn't post for a long time, but I would definitely say:
November 1st!

Hope I win, win, WIN!

hmmmm im gonna say november 3rd...... -shrugs shoulder-

[Mack Daddy]

October 22, my birthday! Ok, so my birthday is on the 21st, but that's a Sunday. I chose the Monday after.

Is your birthday really the 21st Rasher?? Mine is too!! I chose the 22nd for the exact same reason you did.

Let's cross our fingers and hope we win!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Looks like Erty's off as well...

I'll just go through the whole thread later today and redo the list. :)

[mhaley]

It would appear that my guess has been misplaced, as well. My prediction was for November 1st, not October 1st.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Hope there are no errors for once! :D

Yep, we share the same birthday :) Here's hoping we win. Fair warning though, I never win at these things.

[HeidiLynn84]

October 3rd & 4th, just in time for my birthday!

[Crimson]

October 2nd

[mikdog]

November 1

[Raella]

October 31

[Dedlok]

Guybrush: you left of RabidZombie's and mine. For November 15th.

edit: found them. They mysteriously moved to October. :) Gotta correct that. :D

[jp-30]

October 6.


For my birthday, obviously.

[G-Man_78_42]

Clearly: October 26th! (Telltale Release)

Trust me, trust me...

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Guybrush: you left of RabidZombie's and mine. For November 15th.

I don't understand how I'm making these mistakes. :p

[Kedri]

*Tosses pencil and notepad into the air*

Too many new votes. I give up. Guybrush? Notation's all yours.

[serfmonkey]

Clearly the release will happen on November 13. QUAIL BEFORE MY SUPERIOR GUESSMANSHIP, SAM AND MAXITES!

HA HA HA!

OK, send me my prize, please.

[Molokov]

Emily's just announced a playtest session of 202.... and yet we still don't know when 201 will be released? It must be soon!

Maybe they won't announce a release date, except for "today".... :)

[purple_monkfish]

All Hail Max> I fine guess, that's my Son's birthday you know *nods*

[Planeforger]

October 24...obviously.

[matan]

I'm guessing december 7th, just in time for my honeymoon

(so we could finish episode 1 together on our honeymoon :)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

*Tosses pencil and notepad into the air*

Too many new votes. I give up. Guybrush? Notation's all yours.

I'm currently engrossed in playing Zelda, but I'll update it later. :D

[akajackfrost]

When I initially picked October 30th I did not realize more than one person can pick the same date. In light of that I would like to change my guess to November 1st if possible. Sorry to be a pain in the rear.

[Dedlok]

I'm currently engrossed in playing Zelda, but I'll update it later. :D

I would do it but currently .hack//G.U. Redemption (Vol. 3) owns my soul. :D

[Kaldire]

lol hack? really? wow.... an offline version of World of warcraft only with worse graphics and a horrid character development! Course I own every ps2 game that isnt sports related but.. me no like the hack series at all.

[Dedlok]

I myself love the .hack series. I've even forsaken playing City of Heroes to play it. :) Especially the new G.U. Series. Sure the 1st series' graphics weren't so hot but they really stepped them up for G.U.. And the battle system is better as well.

Of course I don't really see it as an offline MMO experience nor do I see it as a MMO replacement (even if I'm neglecting my MMORPG of choice to play it.). I see it more as an action RPG game. And I'm a fan of anime and the series is very anime-esque so for me that's a plus too.

I realize it's more of a niche thing and it's not for everyone but I do quite like it a lot.

[Badwolf]

I'm currently engrossed in playing Zelda, but I'll update it later. :D

What a coincidence, I'm addicted to Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. (I say that with no pride whatsoever :( )

[djoftheweb]

October 17.

Very tarantino-esque those 'sam' and 'max' panels... Mr Brown and Mr White :D

[Kitmit13]

*sighs* I hope the first episode comes out soon XD I can't wait.

[matan]

Hey guybrush, thanks for keeping track of the votes, but I guessed december 7th, not november 7th!

(Gee, would I feel silly now if the game comes out november 7th)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

What the... I remember writing down your name under December while thinking "I sure hope not". Thanks for notifying me, I'll change it soon.

[unsilviu]

cant wait!

[Molokov]

Very tarantino-esque those 'sam' and 'max' panels... Mr Brown and Mr White :D

They're from the Season 2 Trailer :)

[relativistic]

Oh... lets say October 23rd.... Maybe this is just wishful thinking though. I would think they'd announce the release date with more than a month's notice.

[Fobok]

I'll guess October 30th.

[Mel]

Very tarantino-esque those 'sam' and 'max' panels... Mr Brown and Mr White :D

In using those names, Tarantino was paying homage to a 1974 movie with Walter Matthau called The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072251/) (I saw part of it once on Turner Classic Movies very late at night - I wouldn't mind seeing the whole thing again).

Sorry, back on topic now!

[Quuux]

They're from the Season 2 Trailer :)

Oh, I'd forgotten, that trailer is so Two Weeks Ago :)

[psypod]

I'd say 9 November, because it's my birthday :p

[Jay33e]

I wish I was a Telltale employee then I go could go over to Emily's desk and just grab a Printerloper.:D

My guess is October 23rd.

[wiedo]

uhm when does the guesing stop? It's getting easier and easier everyday :P

[Jake]

It's really easy (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs) now.

[jmm]

wooohoooo! I nailed it! .... and

WHOOOHOOOO!
its just over a month!

Question.... when will you start accepting season 2 pre-orders?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

"Sweet!" is what I actually screamed when I saw that blog.
"Damn!" is what I shouted when I saw I hadn't won.

I'd like to change my answer to November 8th. Thanks.

http://i20.tinypic.com/kc1dp5.jpg

[Cyberlink420]

DARN IT! I was off by a day! ONE DAY!

Oh, well. Congrats to those who won!

[Badwolf]

Funnily enough, I was just reading the Season 2 article on Wikipedia yesterday, and someone had reverted an edit which speculated that the release date would be announced on the 25/9 and that the episode title would be "Ice Station Santa".

Whoever made the edit is extremely good at speculating...

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I'd also just like to say....

If it comes out on November 8th, I'll be annoyed - that was my second choice.

Yes, I'm annoyed.

[Jake]

Re: pre-orders and other info - keep your eyes on the FAQ on the Season Two minisite (http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmaxseasontwo) for more news in the next days/weeks/etc.

[War-overlord]

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!! I guessed the Worldwide Release ! This must be my lucky day, I've also passed my drivers-licence test today!(after failing 6 times(Darn bushdiving-kids))
I would like to Thank Telltale-Games for making this a genuine competition and I'd also like to thank Julius Ceasar for inventing the Julian Calander and effectively November 9th.

[Kedri]

Oh, well. I'm glad I was wrong, actually. It's sooner than I expected. ;)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Re: pre-orders and other info - keep your eyes on the FAQ on the Season Two minisite (http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmaxseasontwo) for more news in the next days/weeks/etc.

Be sure to blog update us, my good man! :D
Must. Pre-order. Season. 2. ASAP.

Random question: Do Americans say "A-SAP" instead of saying each letter individually?

[Kedri]

Whichever we feel like saying. :P

I say A-S-A-P, but sometimes people say "Asap", if they really are in a huge hurry.

[Dedlok]

Dangit! I was a week off! A WEEK! :(

Oh well. Grats to all that guessed correctly!

A WEEK!

[TrogLlama]

Darn...
Oh well. It wasn't all that likely to be on the Wii's 1st anniversary.

[xChri5x]

Off by one week. I knew it would be on a friday though.

[redmartian50]

aww a day off

[tobar]

Hey I was a week off too! So close!

[freakazoid]

Ice Station Santa? I've heard of Ice Station Zebra from Sealab 2021 but i'm pretty sure they got that from something else. Can anyone fill me in if they know?

[Kaldire]

prolly has something to do with Canada... dont ask why.. I dunno.. or one of the Dakotas.. and I dont think its fanning. muahaha

[giant_frying_pan]

There's a place at EPCOT called Ice Station Cool where you can drink free carbonated beverages from around the world (including the splendid, "Beverley".)

It's probably nothing to do with that though.

[Chuck]

Ice Station Santa? I've heard of Ice Station Zebra from Sealab 2021 but i'm pretty sure they got that from something else. Can anyone fill me in if they know?
It's a movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063121) from 1968.

PS: "Beverly" tastes like carbonated evil.

[freakazoid]

wasn't Ice Station Zebra also the ice station from John Carpenter's The Thing?

[MeaningOfLife]

Oh wow, I can't believe my guess was right on the mark.

I haven't won anything like this since... 5th grade I believe.

[All hail Max]

Damm! I've never been lucky. Oh, well. Hey, shouldn't the winners thank the guy/girl who started this thread?

[MeaningOfLife]

Speaking of which, what happens next Emily? Do you need our blood sample to confirm that we didn't cheat?

While we're at it, here's my social security number, e7 f4 15% at Macy's.

[Squinky]

I've also passed my drivers-licence test today!(after failing 6 times(Darn bushdiving-kids))

This makes me feel less bad for failing my road test a mere three times.

[giant_frying_pan]

PS: "Beverly" tastes like carbonated evil.

Bah. There goes our chances of hoodwinking unsuspecting guzzlers.

[mikdog]

I guess November 8.

[RyanMon]

This makes me feel less bad for failing my road test a mere three times.

The day I took my driving test, the girl who was taking her test right before me actually got into a minor accident (she hit a parked car...and I don't think it was when she was parallel parking), so in comparison, i must have looked great, which was probably why i passed on my first try. ;)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Gametap states it will be released on november 8th and its based on a wicked santa theme. "Ice station Santa" !!! Im personally not amused at such reused charachters as bosco and sybl ..and the soda Jerks cmon telltale make an original season.

I'm afraid we already know this!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

YOU dont allready know all this look at game taps website it has a summary of the game mr afraid

Sorry, but we do! (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3405&page=11)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

no GAMETAP not tell tale

But we already knew the information you provided since Telltale had already told us.
I don't understand what you're trying to say...

[jared25]

What is warpdrive ??!?! option in the game please what is it

[Guybrush Threepwood]

What is warpdrive ??!?! option in the game please what is it

It was originally a space for if they needed to add another menu option, but they didn't, so they just put 'Warp Drive' - the function does nothing. ;)

[Quuux]

Given that our merchandise is shipped from a warehouse at least half way across the US, I suspect the answer is nope! But we still want to send you one. :)

so whats on tv?

[jmm]

I got my signed printed Interloper last Thursday (October 11th).
It had a bent corner, but it was a small area and its hardly noticeable (and after a few weeks inside the frame it will disappear)

Question to anyone TT... Who did sign the interloper? I recognized most signatures (I don't have the interloper at work but I recall Brendan Ferguson, Emily, Daniel Herrera and Jon Sgro) but missed a few.

[Emily]

Err... I don't remember, it was whoever happened to be around at the time.

Possibly Marco, Jake, Nick, Tim, Jeff, Andy, Randy, and/or Dave Bogan.
