Yes. I'm surprised you had to ask.

If it's a plan, the plotting seems pretty threadbare.

I mean:

Step 1: Offer Sex
Step 2: Get Yare(hopefully), maybe other male Telltale staff

I mean, the gnome's plan for profit was more complex than this.

Well it was pretty obvious, I was just making sure.

People over-complicate stuff.
Although you forgot "bribe them with plushes that may or may not be stuffed with aphrodisiacs".

If the aphrodisiacs are in the plushes, how do they take effect? Are they based on scent or something? And what happens if they start working before you get there? Actually, I can guess, and it involves the DVD release being pushed even further back...

Well, the two "problems" you raised are actually related!
See, since they're inside the plushes, they're not working now. However, when I get there, I know exactly how to make them start working. Just need to ask if they'll let me take a look at the plushes so I can show them something...
And here you have it. Now I need to work on the step of my plan that involves actually getting there, but Lena hasn't answered my latest PM yet so I'm waiting.

The Voodoo cards said April 10 yeah, but the DVD always said Spring.

Although I agree with the Fury about the Earl Boen version update...

You're honestly that upset that they're not prioritizing a minor update to a single episode of the series wherein a handful of lines remain to be heard in Earl Boen's voice? How is that an "obvious fault" of Telltale's? This must be the same "obvious fault" that caused them to listen to the fans and get Earl Boen to re-record chapter 1's lines later as well as chapter 4 and 5.

IMO, this is nothing to be going mental about, as Lechuck barely has that many lines in episode 1 as is, not to mention that you can hear several of them in the trailer.

I wish they had just not even mentioned Earl being in chapter 1 until the DVD release, so there wouldn't be all this incessant whining about such trivial crap.

So, because of trivial minor grievances about some perceived deception against you, you're going to pay the same exact price, but with less benefits in the long run? Good luck with that.

I said it once and I'll say it again:

Call people like me a cult if you will, but what it boils down to is that Telltale is more deeply connected to its fans than any other game company, and it suffers for it because people start expecting things. This is a small company going the extra mile and doing a physical release of the game with all sorts of bonus features, not charging you anything more than shipping for it, and all this while trying to work on another game at the same time, and you're complaining that they're not doing it fast enough?

I have a word for people like you. Veruca.

I think the DVD might ship on the 18th, because that's probably when the Interloper will go out, and they need more stuff to say than just "Tomb of Sammun-Mak out". Either that, or they will announce when they ship in the Interloper.

Joop · 05/15/2010, 03:47 am

16 more days before shipping will start.
16 before it will ship.
Sleep a night, don't let bugs bite.
15 more days before shipping will start...

You're going off another "Estimate". A telltale staff member said they're shipping at the end of may.

Telltale staff also said they're shipping end of april.

If you're gonna worship telltale like this, and defend their delays, then expect more in the future.

There's a difference between worshipping them and going psychotic over trivial delays. Most people, it turns out, aren't so obsessed with the release date that they flip out on internet message boards about it, especially when it's pretty much understood that when you pre-order something, the release date is always subject to change.

The Highway · 05/15/2010, 08:17 am

Oooooooh, BURN!

Joop · 05/15/2010, 03:50 pm

I worship delays!
Please Telltale, throw in another month... for my enjoyment...
Pweaasee...

No kidding. They didn't have to re-record the dialogue at all. They chose to do that because it was something their customers wanted. Complaining about how long it takes is just looking a gift horse in the mouth.
