Updated by me, because apparently Jason, Jennifer, Zaarin, and whoever else works here these days have been too lazy to do so ¬¬… It's Minecraft: Story Mode. Yes. I'm underwhelmed too.
"Super secret surprise announcements before the holiday break? Maaaaaybe. ...hashtag #subtle!," tweeted TTG's Job Stauffer mysteriously, teasingly followed up with ,"Well, kids... You see... When two game developers love each other VERY much... and they get together...". I'm sure all Telltale forum dwellers are sharpening their pencils, getting ready to write love poems about whatever comes next, already.
Anyway! In mere hours the announcement will be made, and we're all excited to see what TTG, Disney, and Double Fine will do with Full Throttle what will come next.
On the upside, this news made me remember that someone gifted me a copy of Minecraft over a year ago and that I never checked it out. I'm now completely hooked. It's a great little time waster that somehow really works for me. Still not interested in seeing it as a story game at all - completely doing your own thing in that world and making your own story is most of the charm for me. I gave myself a Bill Murray skin from Life Aquatic and I'm currently building a giant skull-shaped fortress on an island. I also have plans for a rollercoaster coming out of its mouth.
I should just quit my real job now.

What? WHAT?! I don't understand, Minecraft....how do you write a story for that? How? It's basically LEGO, what do you do with that?
These are all quite good, as is this.

Those guys below us weren't joking. It really is Minecraft. Really.
Man, 2015 is going to be weird.
OK, now THAT left me speechless. :\
Maybe Telltale can save some money on graphics and animation.

I hope it's not something Lucas related!
Please leave that stuff to Double Fine, thank you!
