People already humorously get Telltale Games & TT Games mixed-up (http://ds.qj.net/LucasArts-announces-LEGO-Star-Wars-The-Complete-Saga/pg/49/aid/93400) every once in awhile. So when I read about this game company "Tale of Tales (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=19429)" the other day I was like, "Oh great... This can only add to the hilarity." And then I actually went & checked out their games:
The Endless Forest (http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/) is a multiplayer online game and social screensaver, a virtual place where you can play with your friends. When your computer goes to sleep you appear as a deer in this magical place. There are no goals to achieve or rules to follow. Just run through the forest and see what happens.
So anyway, I guess it's probably a bit less likely that we'll be mistaken for them as often as TT Games.

And yes, I *did* install the magical screensaver...

So you guys don't own those companies? :rolleyes:
Anyway, I see potential for a tongue twister game, you know, one of those 'casual' games for the DS that everyone hates?

Hehe, love it. Now I need to come into ownership of a game company (with zany results every week, after all-new episodes of The Simpsons), so I can call it "TaleTell" and further the confusion.

I'm in favor of us buying them, just so we can issue the world's most confusing press release.

Headline: "'Telltale' Takes 'Tale of Tales', 'TT': Changes Name to 'TT's Tale-Telling Tail Telling Tall Tales'.

I am actually pretty surprised there's not a "Tall Tale Games" out there.

When your computer goes to sleep you appear as a deer in this magical place. There are no goals to achieve or rules to follow. Just run through the forest and see what happens.

The first thing this made me think of was Heroin Hero, what with the running through magical forests and all. Only that game did have a goal to achieve. Even though you never actually catch the dragon...
