Poll! Did you join TTG forums just for ToMI?

[alexonfyre]

In another thread someone brought up that this board has become a new meeting place for Monkey Island fans. I am curious, first, if it is true, and second whether those fans were here already and just stopped going to the other sites, or came here after ToMI was released and stayed.

[PariahKing]

I had zero interest in Telltale until Tales of Monkey Island.

After playing the first twenty seconds of Episode 101 of Sam and Max: Save the World I started a massive buying spree with some money I had saved up from working.

They are now my favorite game producing company.

[alexonfyre]

I just remember flipping the hell out when they released Sam and Max, I was beside myself, They have been one of my top 3 producer/designers ever since. (With Blizzard and Bioware)

The first time I ever knew about a new Sam & Max Game or TT for that matter was when I saw Season 1 on XboxLive. Played it and loved it, hadn't played an adventure game in a long long time so it was cool.

I was talking video games with a co-worker one day and I mentioned Monkey Island, he said he found it recently and played a little.. but didn't give it much thought... I told him what a masterpiece it is and commanded him to keep playing, and to play the sequels as well, anyways...
He also mentioned there was an announcement that there would be a new MI game. I was really excited when I heard the news but figured it would be months and months before so much as a screen shot would come out...

Then SoMI:SE came out for XboxLive and I played that for a few days.. After a while of feeling all was too good to be true, I decided to see what this info on a new MI game was... I found out, the first episode had been out for a few days already!! I bought it that night and after a while I knew it was a success! Even before I played it I was confident I was in good hands because of my experience with Sam & Max S1.

I have since played Sam & Max S2 and thought it was just great. Absolutely loved it and what a step up from last season too. Looking forward to Season 3.

As a fairly new customer it seems to me like TT gets better and better at what they do very fast and I look forward to seeing what direction this company goes in. They are my favorite devs right now and I've never even really had a 'favorite' game developement company so I think that says a lot.


Wow I didn't mean for that to be so long lol.

I had an account but never visited the forums until TMI came out. Still frequent a lot of other forums. But I didn't join the forums just for TMI, merely because of it.

[jmm]

I have an account since S&M Episode 5. And never left...
Oddly enough I found out about Telltale searching for info about CSI.
I downloaded the CSI:3D demo and wanted to buy it, but couldn't because Ubi only offered to sell me the European version and S&H was $10 more than the game (Thanks Ubi for giving me that option)
After a few months I checked back the site for updates on CSI (hoping for lower prices or better choices) but instead got S&M on the front page... downloaded Episode 5, played the demo, bought the demo, upgraded to season pass and the rest is history. So thanks again Ubi

Heard of em when they made Sam and Max but it never sparked my interest until Monkey Island came back from the ashes. Seems like the voodoo lady was right, true evil cant die.

[bobhobbit]

I heard about Sam & Max Season 1 a week or so before the first episode came out, and quickly preordered. But I didn't start posting in the forums (or even register a forum name, for that matter) until TOMI... I never felt I had much to add to the discussion until then I guess. I'm still not sure I have much to add, for that matter. Oh well.

[SHODANFreeman]

I've been into Telltale for years but I didn't start actively posting until the MI announcement, now I'm a posting fiend.

[Dangerzone]

Wook at all the wittle ones... aren't they so cute ^_^

Being an adventure game fanatic, I took an immediate interest before they even released their first title...

<<< So yeah, I've been around since the beginning! (more or less)

Though admittedly, it was when they acquired the CSI: rights (right after they did Bone Pt. 1) that I began to take them seriously.

I have purchased every Telltale game since...

[nachtritter]

I had played demos of S+M S1 before, and I had bought SBCG4AP Ep1 for my Wii. But aside from that, nothing much. Then I learned about ToMI from E3 coverage, and pre-ordered it. This gave me a free episode, so I went for S+M S2, Ep1. Bad move. I was hooked, and had to instantly buy the rest of the season. I got the free DVD for S+M S2, and absolutely enjoyed it (there's a LOT of extras!). In the meantime I played ToMI Ep1. But after S+M and ToMI, I had to wait until the next ToMI episode, and I felt some TTG withdrawal syndrome... So ... I ordered the full SBCG4AP season, AND the DVD. It's great. I love it. The reversible DVD cover is hilarious. The extras are nuts!!!

TTG's stuff is insanely great. Excellent value for the money, seriously. One of the best companies out there right now. I'd say they're at the top when it comes to fan service.

[Lennie Melvin]

Only came in the first place because of ToMI, but have recently become a huge Sam & Max fan

[Toothless Gibbon]

I had a TTG account from S&M S1, but I only played a couple of episodes before I lost interest (not sure why)

When ToMI was announced I preordered immediately and have since played more S&M and W&G and love it all now! I've not tried Strongbad yet as I've not seen any of the source material.

I do visit other forums, but not MI forums.

Not sure which option I come under there!

[Rather Dashing]

When did "Abe Lincoln Must Die!" come out for free? That's when I first played a Telltale game, and loved it. Money was somewhat short at the time, though, so I couldn't play it. According to my join date, I got into buying the Sam and Max seasons a few months after the second season finished, with SBCG4AP coming out fairly soon after I snagged those up.

[onlyamonkey]

While waiting for ToMI I've played thru S&M s1 and s2 plus W&G s1. Got impatient.

[corruptbiggins]

I joined when Sam & Max season 2 came out but didn't really start posting until Tales was announced.

[Armakuni]

I joined way back to complain about Bone and the DRM they were using

I changed my username here once, though... it used to be laffer, can't remember why I wanted to change it to this.

[Brainiac]

I got a Telltale account specifically to purchase ToMI. I already had Sam and Max Season 1 via a direct purchase from Steve Purcell at ComicCon. I'm not on any MI-specific forums, but I am on several different forums, including Video Games Live as my sig would indicate.

[tmsmyth4]

Been following telltale since Texas hold 'em/bone days. remember the hype around that silhouette Telltale posted on the home page as their first episodic series bought hold 'em and Sam and max season 1 on release but didnt post on the forums til ToMI.

[Shmeh]

I never went to any MI forum before this one because I didn't frequent any forum when I played the original games. I have been posting on these forums before TMI was announced so I'm not sure if I would be frequenting the MI forum if it was produced by someone else. (I'm not frequenting any official MI:SE forum, so maybe I wouldn't.)
