    ...

    So when are they going to make a game out of the movie?

    Man, this movie would have been insane. Behemoth of a Thousand Monkeys?

    Meaning Sam and Max is coming out first... please?

    Shh. The snakes might hear you say that.

    For what its worth "Season One" is something the store backend appends to every game series name. You'll notice it also features "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Season One" and "Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures Season One." Left over from when we just had "Sam & Max" and the scripts could append "Season One" and "Season Two" to the end. Hardcoding's revenge.

    Yeah, but I just put it on there as a little sidenote. I figured it'd be either hardcoding, or you guys very intentionally putting it on there as a...I dunno, a joke.

    Glad to see they had the guts to delay the game a bit. I want this game to be as good as it can be.

    Yep, that's what I was thinking too.

    Was the month of November ever officially scheduled for the game's release in the first place?
  • SurplusGamer on 19 Nov, 2009, 10:09…
    I think the release of episode 4 made people nervous - no review copy until release day, released on the last possible day of the month, actual release date announced really late...

    ... sometimes it seemed as if they were desperate to get it out last month but didn't see that confident about getting it finished. Likely it was more complicated than that, but that's the sort of impression that it gave.

    People have been taking "monthly episodes" (which I'm pretty sure ToMI was touted as) to mean one episode per calendar month.
  • Sp0tted on 19 Nov, 2009, 12:51…
    Besides, for every day it is late they promised to add 10 minutes to the gameplay. According to a source I just made up in my head.

    Steam's still saying November, and always has done.
  • haydenwce27 on 19 Nov, 2009, 15:23…
    Don't listen to steam. They've been giving false release dates all season long.

    Those dirty liars!
