Introducing Telltale's new Community Lead!

[JobJStauffer_TTG]

GREETINGS!!!

Wow. Where do I start?

First off, I'd like to take a minute to thank all of our mods for helping us out over the last few months on these boards. As many of you know, Telltale has been looking to revamp it's efforts on the community front, and without a person on the inside team to tackle these efforts head on, our mod team has shown extraordinary leadership in helping to keep our fans excited as the The Walking Dead came to its ultimate conclusion this Thanksgiving.

During this time before the launch of the Season Finale, many of you been wondering who might be the next person to come into the fold and take the reigns on all things related to our incredible Telltale community...

Today, I'm happy to introduce you to your new community lead! She's someone you may already know, and has been a big part of the Telltale Community for many years...

In our offices today, we are joined by Laura Perusco, aka 'Puzzlebox' on the forums! Laura, whom many of you may already know as a mod, has been brought on as a part of our team and will be taking on an incredibly active and dedicated role at Telltale as our Community and PR Specialist!

We're all incredibly excited to welcome Laura to the fold here at Telltale, and in the coming weeks as we continue to grow and re-shape the community experience on Telltale's forums as well as our external channels, Laura will be helping to lead the charge!

Today is still her first day and she's just learning the ropes around the office, but we'd love it if you would join us in welcoming and congratulating our latest addition to the team!

The community experience at Telltale is going to evolve before your eyes, and with a longtime member of the community now here to help make sure it's the best it can be, we're excited to have Puzzlebox here on the inside to help make that happen.

We're looking forward to an exciting end to 2012 with the coming retail release of The Walking Dead, and we're even more excited for what's to come in 2013 and beyond. Puzzlebox is going to be a big part of that with all of you here, and we couldn't be more excited to have her here today.

Laura, we welcome you! :)


Best,

Job J Stauffer
Senior Public Relations Manager
Telltale Games

Alan didn't even say goodbye! :(

Also, he used an Austin Powers reference in his introduction which this was severely lacking.

Welcome/congratulation nonetheless!

[Bloody Eugene]

Congrats Puzzlebox-Laura!!!! :D

and goodbye Alan! ;)

[ryannumber1gamer]

Congratulations Puzzlebox :)

[puzzlebox]

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome!

I have somehow managed to infiltrate the Telltale offices, and today marks my very first day as Telltale's new community and PR specialist. Having been a member of the Telltale fan community for so long, I'm super excited to be working here in an official capacity!

We'll have loads of good stuff for you guys to look forward to in the coming weeks/months. I'll see you around the forums!

[corruptbiggins]

Congratulations! Your name looks good in red.

[JedExodus]

Congrats puz! :)

I look forward to seeing you rule with an iron fist and no mercy.

[RetroVortex]

Congratulation.

[Alcoremortis]

Once again my powers of prediction have been proven correct.

But this is one of those instances where I'm happy to have been right. Woo!

[ryannumber1gamer]

How about a vote for the next TTG game after Fables and King's Quest....Maybe a return from a certain Dog and Rabbit or a maybe if we are very very lucky a return of a certain Mighty Pirate? :D

Yes, we're well due the return of Hutch and Gromit.

[Iryon]

Well, puzzlebox, I would like to congratulate, but as I am really awful with things like that I'm just assuring you that I will smile with elation for your newly achieved position while lurking in the dark corners of this forum, silently observing your work from the shadows.

[puzzlebox]

Someone complained about the lack of chips and dip in this thread, so here:

See how much you're loved!

[Darth Marsden]

Can we get some proper chips? I'm actually kinda hungry.

Also, kudos and congratulations for that thing you got. Whatever it was.

OM-NOM-NOM.

(I'm fully aware of the hypocrisy there, thank you very much)

[GaryCXJk]

Puzzlebox was a female?!

EDIT: is*

GaryCXJk didn't know this!? :eek:

[GaryCXJk]

Wait, are you a male or a female, RetroVortex?

[RetroVortex]

Wait, are you a male or a female, RetroVortex?

*ahem* Now that would be telling...:p

[Secret Fawful]

Congratulations, Laura, on filling Alan's shoes. And good luck.

[dustpuffs]

Congratulations and good luck with your new job!

[RAnthonyMahan]

Wait...Alan's gone? I was wondering where he went. :(

Still, congratulations, Laura!

[Vainamoinen]

EDIT: is*

You probably didn't even skim through the "picture" thread ONCE. ;)

[GaryCXJk]

I did, but then I got scared.

[Alcoremortis]

I did, but then I got scared.

I'm curious. Where did you think the "puzzlebox is pretty" tag came from?

[der_ketzer]

I'm curious. Where did you think the "puzzlebox is pretty" tag came from?

A mancrush?

[Giant Tope]

CONGRAPTSULATION LAURZIE

Ah that's probably my fault...

[Remolay]

Many conglaturations Puzzlebox.

[N7.]

I'm glad for you, Please don't be like others and give us information about TWD S2 :)

[ryannumber1gamer]

N7 no offence but TWD season 2 is not up next. It was announced there would be a second season but next is Fables and then King's Quest and even then i'm hoping for something that goes back to comedy like Sam & Max. I mean in a row we have had 2 serious games which are Jurassic park, and TWD and i think Fables is serious too but i am not sure about Fables or King's Quest.

[Alcoremortis]

A mancrush?

That's one hell of a mancrush.

[GuruGuru214]

Wait...Alan's gone? I was wondering where he went. :(

Yeah, half the mods were at PAX when we found out it was his last day, so it's been about three months. Then we found out shortly later that we would also be losing Mike.

But lucky for us, we met Job at PAX, and we got Matt shortly after that, and they've done a great job helping us out until we could get a new community lead.

[Gman5852]

Horrible Joke #1 All right. Operation "Infiltrate" was a success. Now just replace these "Kings Quest" files with these "Sam and Max: Season 4" files and we can wrap up this adventure.

Horrible Joke #2 What's this? Telltale actually has a PR department? Someone better tell the Walking Dead forums about this!

Serious Statement Congratulations!

[puzzlebox]

That's one hell of a mancrush.

In all fairness, I think in one of those pictures I had a moustache made out of my own hair, so I can understand the confusion.

[GuruGuru214]

Thread about the new community lead turns into a discussion about people being confused about a user's gender.

Yep, this is the Telltale forums all right.

[ryannumber1gamer]

Hey when we get something random from coolsome then it will be like other threads.

[Gman5852]

Admit it, you're jealous.

And it isn't a telltale thread until we get some bizarre tags! I'll throw in a "Puzzlebox eats babies" so she feels welcome :p

[Irishmile]

Hello.. and congrats all around.

[ryannumber1gamer]

You know i think i figured out what makes mods look cool.....They get a Max head beside their username!

[Alcoremortis]

You know i think i figured out what makes mods look cool.....They get a Max head beside their username!

The sad part is that soon most of the forum won't know the significance of that. It will have to be replaced with a tiny rotting arm.

[ryannumber1gamer]

Wait...Their going to replace the Max head with something TWD!?!?!?

[GuruGuru214]

No. That was a joke.

Really, we should get a badge for every game release we've survived. That would mean I'd get a DeLorean, a velociraptor, and a zombie head (since somehow Law & Order managed to fly under my radar. Might've been the whole hospital thing?). And if we count pre-modship, then I'd get a monkey and Charlie Ho-Tep.

And I guess Puzzle Agent and Hector fit in there somehow.

Naw, I'm happy with my Max head.

Tell me you didn't just spam the "new community lead" thread.

[Ribs]

It's what the people want!

Tell me you didn't just spam the "new community lead" thread.

I spamed the "Introducing Telltale's new Community Lead" .

[GuruGuru214]

I should ban you for a day just on principle for being a smart-ass.

[ryannumber1gamer]

coolsome i really wonder what would happen if you were modded.

Trust me there is no danger of that happening.

[GuruGuru214]

I don't know, we just might have to do it to punish you.

[ryannumber1gamer]

Ban him from using Simpsons references for a week :D

So are you done being random yet?

[GuruGuru214]

He'd better be.

[WarpSpeed]

Congrats on the new job, Puzzlebox! You're already so nice to everyone, I can't imagine anyone better suited! Now I can't wait to yell at you when my next game doesn't work! :p

[Secret Fawful]

He'd better be.

But you're part of it now.

[Giant Tope]

I don't know, we just might have to do it to punish you.

woah that's kinky

[shammack]

Welcome, puzzlebox!

[Haggis]

Conglomerations! And good luck. :)

Congratulations, puzzlebox! So that gives you, let's see...11 months to bring back the annual Halloween contest, right?
