Season Two DVD, Soundtrack, Case File

[Zeek]

I got Momma Bosco's Time Card. Don't know if I like the idea of going back to the Kennedy era since I do have a great-grandmother on one of my parent's side with the last name of Castro...

So that's why it felt like my soul was leaving my body and I was sore around the neck and face area! I thought it was because I slept on my stomache, which I normally don't do. I wonder if this is because I didn't give out candy last night, and Flint considered that low-life behavior...

[wisp]

so...the flint paper cover for season 2 smells like whiskey...and from jake's comments i assume that this is on purpose. this is so awesome...and also hilarious. i wonder how it was done. either the printshop offers paper in different smells and flavours or....the telltale crew bought a crate of cheap booze at the local liquor store and somehow...

[Jake]

I wish it was on purpose! That would be pretty epic. All I meant to imply was that since he got one which by some freak shipping accident mysteriously smells of whiskey, he wins a prize.

[Shwoo]

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to smell like whiskey. Mine doesn't.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see Jake's post.

I figured as much. However, I do know that it is possible to "scent" paper inserts. When I got Tim Burton's Charlie & The Chocolate Factory DVD last Christmas, the whole case smelled of chocolate powder, with the source being the DVD chapter index insert. It still smells of chocolate even now.

[wisp]

yeah...it was to good to be true. i still like the idea though. unfortunately the smell is nothing that will last forever, but still...jake, maybe you wanna keep that in mind for season three...or strong bad goodies.

You know, one morning I woke up at work not knowing where I was. There was a bottle of booze on my desk and a box of S2 DVDs next to it...

All of the pieces of that night are slowly coming together.

[RevolverBobcat]

Yay! Got my stuff in the mail yesterday. Great stuff!
Cool tiny case file cd. I tried to slow it down, play it backwards etc. , but... what the hidden song about?!

[NHJ BV]

Got my CD and case file yesterday as well, it took about 10 days for transatlantic delivery, not bad. I think that so far I actually like the Office rearrangement the best

I *still* don't know! I've been messing around with that track for days!

[Morden]

Happy day! Got my Sam & Max: Season 2 package today - some pictures here. Strangely, the stuff came in an envelope rather than in a box. Oh well. As long as I have my Season 2 game disc, soundtrack and the case file, I'm happy.

I also tried playing the demonic message backwards, but it got me nowhere. Haha. What did you guys do to mess this up? And does the punch card contain any information or should I just stop trying to figure out how to decode the damn thing? I tried decoding both the 1D and 2D code, but no luck so far. Has anyone messed around with that?

P.S. - Scratch the punch card question. I see that Pidgeot figured it out already -> CLICK

[Morden]

Ok, I think I have figured out the demon message. The reason why it sounds so weird [effects aside] even if you reverse it, is probably because the words were written down backwards and then read alound and recorded. So it's not simply reversed speech, thus making it sound weird no matter how you listen to it. It's just like the Twin Peaks midget talk, with tons of effects distorting the speech further.

Anyways, the words spoken in the message come from Omen - Ave Satani. Sanguis bibimus, corpus edimus. That's latin for drink blood, eat flesh.

So ... Did I get it right? What do I win? Do I win anything?

Strangely, the stuff came in an envelope rather than in a box.

We've switched to a new fulfillment center, and they tend to pack stuff smartly rather than just throwing it all into a huge box with no padding. Everything I've seen from them has been carefully wrapped with bubble wrap, etc - hopefully that was the case with your envelope! (Also that white customs slip is what you get if you do postage electronically rather than manually. It shouldn't make any difference to customs if the slip is white or green, the info is the same. ) Nice pictures and write-up, by the way!

How many different case file time cards are there?

There are six time cards altogether. The Beginning of Time card is not one of them...

[Lachlan_is]

I got it all today!!!!!!!! (In Australia) and it is worth the wait, the musics great, the dvds free and the case file is AWESOME!!!!

THANK YOU TO ALL TELLTALE!!!!!! YOU ROCK!

EDIT: I forgot to mention, in the soundtrack the audio quality is ASTONISHINGLY GOOD!!! Instrument's you never even heard in the free tracks spring into life!

...but i suppose that some of these aka. blank ones exist. right? you surely got some unprinted samples. the vast power the telltale office now holds...maybe.

[dloeke]

Received the package from Telltale today, and I have to say - this is some great stuff. Loved the case file, and I'm listening to the soundtrack as we speak. Sadly one of those thingies which holds the cd in place within the cover seemed damaged on the soundtrack, which may have been caused by the fact that it didn't seem too protected within the parcel, but luckily the cd doesn't fall out anyhow, so no harm done. Thanks for the awesome stuff, Telltale, it is highly appreciated!

[patters]

this stuff is awesome, unfortunately my coaster has ink on one side that i dont think should be there, but the rest is awesome

[Harald B]

My big box of stuff arrived today. I had to kick a nasty infection out of my pc before it would play the soundtrack, but it seems all is well now. Great stuff, for sure. The box did mention a return address in Sweden if that's still relevant.

i had a label from sweden too, and big box isn't at all joking

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Pure brilliance! The poster is much larger than I thought it was, and I can't wait to get it up on my wall. Case file is great, especially... well, I started to list my favourites here but I ended up naming all five things; I got the Superball time card, by the way. The soundtrack is top notch quality, although sadly some of the plastic CD holders have already come off like on the first soundtrack. Not to worry, all the tracks are burnt to my PC. I have yet to properly watch any DVD content (just about to!), however I did notice a certain someone at the top of the forum credits. All in all, amazing merchandise as per usual.
P.S. I'm in love with this new new fulfilment centre as I didn't get charged any customs.
