Reading that makes me chuckle since CSI is, like, before Wallace and Gromit...

Yes, but hardly I put CSI games near the other TT games, because they're "Ubisoft's homework".
I really hope I don't have to put the new Law&Order near the CSI shelf. The only good things about CSI games was that they were localized.

And, btw, all the CSIs have less bugs than Poker Night....

SLOW DOWN TELLTALE!!!!

I tend to shut up if others already make my point for me, but I feel like joining the chorus this time, because seeing that blog post just made me think "God no".
To add another symptom: support falling apart. In the olden days Telltale's support service was considered amazing. Now the shopping and activation support forum is filled with people who never heard back. I myself can't get a reaction even after pming Amy. (I don't blame her per se, I'm guessing support is understaffed and swamped.)

I don't think the issue is "Telltale is doing too much" but more that the resources don't quite match what they are being asked to do.. hence issues with support etc.. It is the cost of running a successful profitable company though I'm sure.. Telltale has come a long way..

The games you're all now aware of are what's on our plate for the next year and beyond.

While I appreciate the reassurance, that doesn't seem to be the case. I see four episodic series in the works this year. We're in the middle of Back to the Future right now, Jurassic Park is coming out soon, The Walking Dead is slated for a Fall 2011 release, and Law and Order has already been confirmed for 2011. There's also Puzzle Agent 2 and Hector, though I won't count those since they're small (not to mention the latter not actually being developed by Telltale).

It seems Fables and King's Quest are the only upcoming announcements to not be this year.

Well, it seems that Telltale Games seem to be too busy to focus on the other chapters for Tales of Monkey Island for the iPad. Can they please slow down and focus on these chapters, for once?

Hence this is exactly what "they're trying to do too much by theirselves" means.

JP is delayed! Horray!!!!
WOW, TT finally slowed down!!!

Quality won!
It's a new day!!!

[JedExodus]

Unless of course it's been plauged by problems. But let's be positive, this could be a good sign. i look keenly towards hearing the first reviews and impressions of it

I must admit I didn't expect this.
Sounds good and promising.
I hope the Jurassic Park project is still afloat.

I wish we could get more development updates on the various properties - I certainly think that would avoid people's disappointment at such significant unexpected delays and would restore the link that I feel this mass expansion of properties has kinda undermined recently

[Joop]

I think this is a good decision...
Too bad we had to sacrifice Back to the Future in order to get it.
