    I'm voting October. As long as I just kind of passively expect it to come "eventually", I won't be one of those angry forum-posters that blow steam out of their ears whenever the game is released a few hours short of their expectations.

    Yep. I like that logic. I'm hoping October and if it happens to come before that, I'd be soooo happy because it would be "early".

    September 19th would be the best day for a pirate game to come out.

    Agreed. Think of the publicity Telltale would generate!

    ...hardly any at all, I'm assuming.

    Except that's a Saturday, so I wouldn't count on it.

    I voted for the 23rd...mostly because it's halfway between Talk Like a Pirate Day and my birthday. And I've got a good feeling about that week. :D

    Shoot, I didn't realize I could vote for October.

    Dude, that's where half the fun is!

    I'm guessing it's gonna be another friday, like the last 2 chapters. (Well, thursday for you, but friday for me here in Australia)
  • edited September 2009
    Probably 17th or 24th if they're sticking to Thursdays, actually.

    I think it will be out in like two weeks as long as the play test went well.

    "We are getting ready to release the 3rd episode later this month"

    So "October Guys" are out of the game.

    I say "later" its somewhere between next week. Voted for 19.

    Oh nice. How was the pizza? Did you try the Vending Machine of Doom?
  • edited September 2009
    The pizza was amazing and the vending machine of doom dispensed piranha poodles!

    I picked 24th. It's the last Thursday of the month. Whoopdidoo Basil.
  • edited September 2009
    Since they are unlikely to release on a weekend, I voted for late in the day on the 18th. That way the complaints from some people about getting the game on the 19th will be countered by people who are complimentary about getting the game on the 19th. :)

    24th, the best day to release a game and my day of birth and my lucky number.
    :D
  • edited September 2009
    23rd.
  • edited September 2009
    It needs to come out before October; I move to university on the 4th and my laptop isn't awesome enough to run the game so I need to use my family's desktop PC!

    Come on guys :(
  • edited September 2009
    voted 22nd... But it doesnt seem realistic. They took 44 days between episode 1 and 2, so if it is indeed going to be released before October then it should be around the 28th...

    when is that pirate day thing?

    if they don't release it on the 19th they are idiots...

    Yeah. Pretty foolish if they don't.

    Idiots for not wanting to work on a weekend...?

    As others have said before, as charming as it would be to have a release on Talk Like a Pirate Day, it's on a Saturday this year. Shoot for that Friday (the 18th--though that's not looking too likely, IMHO) or the Monday afterwards (the 21st), instead.

    They work on weekends.

    I mean heck, they released a bunch of these epiosdes after hours, take ep1 for example. That was like 9PM at night over there.

    If they don't pull it off, they're missing a huge oppurtunity.

    9pm? It was out before 5pm their time. But if you want an example of them working on a weekend, try the recent PAX, which took place almost entirely on the weekend.
  • edited September 2009
    It was out at 12PM the day after here...

    But yeah, they do work on weekends, and support staff are always on.

    People would be there, so releasing on the 19th isn't impossible.

    Plus, if it takes em 6 weeks to make each episode, (as it appears to be), that's gonna cause some problems down the track.

    They need to pick up the pace, and release one every 4 weeks, or people will get angry.

    I made a post in another similar thread about this same perceived problem a while ago in which I compared the release dates of their previous games and there have been occasions where an episode would be released <4 weeks from the prior episodes, the release date of prior episodes really doesn't affect the release dates of the later ones as much as you'd think since they're on separate production schedules.

    I suppose that does make sense, they do have different people in charge of each episode.

    Still, they shouldn't miss talk like a pirate day. It's the most guybrushie day of the year, I mean I always do insult sword fighting on that day. I think Monkey Island isn't much of an ask, but I think most likely they will only release a release date on that date.

    But missing the 19th is a big oppurtunity, and they should be aware of that.

    still, I suppose it won't affect sales so it doesn't matter to them...

    But still!

    Oo they scooted around that one. You've all seen the blog by now.

    So no release on the 19th it seems.
  • edited September 2009
    I take it back.

    Looks like it WILL be this saturday.
  • edited September 2009
    I still voted for the 19th. I'm holding out to guess that that special something includes the release of the game on the 19th.
  • edited September 2009
    yeah, that's what I'm going off. The special surprise thingo is probably episode 3.

    Poor MajusArts though. He'll just have to guess the date as well I suppose.

    But who cares too much if it means MI is coming out earlier.

    Woo.

    Counting down arbitrarily to Talk Like a Pirate Day seems odd to me, unless episode 3 comes out as has been speculated.
