Telltale Games

You know, this is just the sort of the thing I'd expect from a guy from Stanfird. Shoulda put a Cal man on the job, then we'd have avoided the whole thing.

P.S. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Marquis is also not quite as French as he seems, seeing how he doesn't know which Louis is king.

Maybe the line isn't German at all?
You can build the following words from it: find, full, mast, seal, foe, rug.

Maybe it only demonstrates why you better not ask for a German localization of the game.

Yeah, that missing T does make it smell of an anagram.

Go Stanfurd!

I wonder if they used the same German translator guy that they used for the Sam and Max Night of the Raving Dead trailer. That was funny. It was deliberately like that though I think.

"Der Typ ist total ein Vampir! / The dude is a vampire. totally"

Actually, I didn't really enjoy that S&M episode that much, or at least the "German" aspect of it. Perhaps because Jurgen had neither a "real" German accent, nor a very good "comedy" German accent (IMO). Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the episode, but not so much that particular aspect of it. Also, as far as I remember Jurgen missed the Umlaut from his name.

It just seems unusually careless, and slightly unprofessional. I mean, how hard is it to ask a native speaker to check these things?

Without a shadow of a doubt. It's a minor thing, but that doesn't mean it's not worth pointing out.
