[apenpaap]

I only have Abe Lincoln must Die!, so I won't join in, but I'll watch.

And if we do choose to play Hit The Road, too, does that have to go first, or can it go after all the Telltale games?

Broadcasting is not required, though it's highly recommended and very fun. Also, Procaster broadcasts live, so you don't have to record or anything. If you don't want to, that's fine, just make your start and finish posts here and use your stopwatch to time yourself.

And I'm going to say you can play Hit the Road at any stage in the competition.

Are console versions allowed? becuase i have season 3 on ps3 and season 2 on wii and i will get season 1 on wii

[GuruGuru214]

Well, we allowed the PS2 version of Escape from Monkey Island in the other race, so I don't see why not here. However, if there's anyone who has both the PC and console versions, I'd appreciate it if they could let us know what differences there are between versions (including credit length), if there are any.

Well, the problem is that I only have console copies, so that pretty much renders using computer software moot. But anyway, I just discovered I'm going to be away during September, which is probably when this thing is going to be taking place, so I won't be able to join in, anyway. Oh well. ^_^ Perhaps next time, if there is a next time. ^_^

[GuruGuru214]

There'll probably be a next time. We just finished up the third iteration of the Monkey Island race and already plan to do another in December, so I'm fairly certain we'll do Sam & Max again as well.

GURU! Update the broadcast details!

[GuruGuru214]

But I'm lazy! I'm still updating the Monkey Island thread with the aftermath of that race, so I think you can cut me a little slack. Running one of these things is exhausting work!

Let alone two! I don't really care, just so long as its there before the race begins!

(btw, you're doing an amazing job continually checking times and adding them up)

[GuruGuru214]

Thanks. This last race was absolutely nuts, so it's nice to hear I'm doing an okay job of it.

And participating in said race makes it that much more exhausting! I'm actually reconsidering entering into the Sam & Max race, but I just don't know if I'm up for doing another race so soon, especially one where I don't have all the games practically memorized.

just do it for fun anyway!

[harald]

Ah, finally! Definitely want to do this since I had to skip the MI race. I'll do Hit the Road as well: I actually like it slightly better than Telltale's games. (Is it okay to say that here?)

I'm in! I'll use the same livestream account as with last year's Monkey Island race: http://www.livestream.com/hagmo

The channel name "A Great Adventure Game Race" is a natural development from "The Great MI Race 2009" to "A Great MI Race" (when I thought I was going to participate in more Monkey Island races) to "A Great Adventure Game Race" (when Sam & Max entered the scene).

I wonder if we would ever do a complete Telltale race through ever Telltale game they've released

[GuruGuru214]

That's a scary thought. That'd be our most prohibitive race yet, though. Even I still don't own Bone (which is funny, since I was a huge fan of the comic), Puzzle Agent, and 3/4 of Wallace and Gromit. I don't think we could include the CSI games, and I don't know much about Telltale Texas Hold 'Em, but I imagine it's not exactly "beatable" in the conventional sense.

[The Highway]

Hey, can I contribute a prize? It's just episode 3 of wallace & gromit, though I might talk to haggis about anything else!

Do we know what prize Telltale has contributed for the previous race? The episode 3 of Wallace and Gromit might be a good prize but if Telltale agree to offer a prize for this one, it might be more interesting.

[GuruGuru214]

I PMed Jake yesterday to let him know I'd have a winner for him by Thursday morning, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Also, I really felt uncomfortable asking, and I wouldn't have if it hadn't been for Nikki offering to contribute something while she was still with Telltale, and then suggesting that I ask Jake and Yare once she had left.

[tabstis]

Still, it will be interesting to see what they offer.

I'm in, and gonna bring up the rear (I haven't played 105 or any of season 2 yet )
Will hopefully be able to stream it over at the now mistitled http://www.livestream.com/doodmonkey
