Telltale, you've royally screwed us all this time!

edited April 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
Your recent announcement that Sam and Max was going to be on the iPad was really cool, until I thought about it. And I've come to realize, when will TOMI get ported to iPad? Will it ever happen? Why isn't it already happening? This is extremely unfair to us Monkey Island fans who so loyally followed you for almost a year now, and is obvious favoritism towards the Sam and Max crowd. How is it fair they get to play their game on the iPad but us MI fans get nothing? And what about all those PC players who got to play TOMI already a year before the iPad crowd? There's obvious favoritism towards PC players as well too! How could you do this to us? How could you delay it so long? We should have been playing TOMI on the iPad a year ago! You bastards. You're in league with the devil. I'll never forgive you or buy from you again. I've been cheated, dammit, cheated!

As for Steve Jobs, I withdraw my proposal of marriage. That goes for Steve Purcell too. And I hope you choke on the fruit baskets and champagne I sent you.

    It's probably just because Sam & Max is coming out now, so Telltale, while they were still developing the game, found the opportunity and decided to port the game that they were working on as it meant they didn't have to work on two completely different projects at once. Also, do you have an iPad? Also also, ToMI, I'd would guess, will probably come out on iPad after S&M is done. Maybe.

    Well, Telltale have been making Sam & Max games a good few years longer than they've been making Monkey Island, so HA!

    It's because I have a personal problem with you, your platform, your franchise of choice, the way you dress, and the way you smell.

    Am I missing something here? Is this a parody of someone else, something else or just plain rambling for fun?

    Right. You don't have any personality of your own. You just take on whatever you can from your supposed lover. It's pathetic, and TTG doesn't respect you for it.

    I think they mentioned Sam & Max on the iPad in the bible as a sign of the end times... or maybe I just read it here..

    Wait, seriously? Complaining that a game that's been out for almost a year isn't being released on a platform that quite literally JUST came out? That wasn't even announced at all since a couple months ago?

    No, not seriously. That's the point.

    Not the only point. I think he's parodying Dangerzone's stupid rant on the general forums (in which he was truly serious in his rant) that ended up getting locked for becoming flamebait.

    Telltale please keep TOMI's purity intact, you've already thrown a bone to the Apple cultists.
    Keep TOMI out of the grubby hands of the iPad douchebags!






    :p

    I might agree except that if it makes Telltale buckets of money, then I'm all for it.

    I'm still waiting for the Gameboy Advance port of Telltale Texas Hold'em. I don't get it, it's like they don't even want our money. :S

    Well, they can't work on a virtual Boy port and a Ipad port. Which would you rather have?

    I don't want to see ANY of this until you start supporting Fisher-Price consoles.

    Firstly:

    Virtual Boy vs. Game Boy Advance

    Learn the difference. :p

    Secondly:

    Ipad vs. iPad

    Learn the difference. :p
    Obviously the second link in the iPad debacle isn't a redirect, albeit it due to technical restrictions in the MediaWiki software the first letter of the URL is capitalized. As a computer programmer, case sensitivity does make a difference. :D

    Oh, and for the record..I'd much rather see the Virtual Boy port. Now that's real 3D. :p Get it right TTG.

    Parody? Why would I parody one of the greatest intellects of our time? He showed me how much we've been cheated! Cheated! Telltale is conducting illegal Satanic experiments on our minds! Put on the glasses! See through the lie!

    Jeeze, calm down. It's not like you got some moderate amount of health insurance reform or something. That truly would be the End Of Days.
