My favorite hting about the Scoggins Boxes is that they revealed that Scoggins isn't just a company and factory that makes erasers, but an entire town in Minnesota. I was worried that with the game taking place in just a factory and surrounding forest, there was no way the game could be episodic.
Oh, no, I'm allowed to actually go there. We were talking about that today, incidentally. It was all inspired by the plush thread idea of a meetup.
Well, not sure if we'd ever get to actually go there in the building (I hear they're actually supposed to work and stuff), but at least I could meet people from the forum if they can make the trip too or live close enough.
San Francisco is a city worth visiting (not that Telltale is in San Francisco, technically, but hey). We have fog, freezing beaches and you can get fat-free soy milk cappuccinos. And a couple bridges, but seriously, who cares about those?

You've got me sold! If you can drive me there, I'm crashing at your place
That depends on where you live in Canada. If you're in Vancouver and are willing to let me crash at your place for a week I'll happily return the favor

Oh, believe me, you don't want to stay here There are 10 people and as many fast food restaurants, but no other kind of store/restaurant. Well, apart from Wallmart.
Plus I couldn't drive you anywhere, I can't drive!
I guess I'l have to make other housing arrangements Any guy living in the area who doesn't mind sharing his bed with me too much?

But everyone who's not familiar with Grickle will think that anyway.
So, don try to not be dense with those guys, please?
Everyone not familiar with Sam and Max, Wallace and Gromit, Strong Bad, etc cetera would think that they're original IPs. It wouldn't make them any less wrong.

It's Grickle's/Scoggins's debut in video game format.
Was Scoggins Erasers ever mentioned outside of The Hidden People? Because I think Graham Annable created that in collaboration with Telltale. There's been hints that this idea's been in development for a while now.

Yes, it is. That doesn't count for anything, though. Anyone who thinks it does has some weird and mistaken ideas about intellectual property law and terminology.

I haven't seen a mention in any of my Grickle books, so I think it's a new element.

It involves creations of Graham Annable. The fact that Telltale may have helped create certain elements of it has nothing to do with anything, nor does the fact that it is their debut as a video game. It is not an original IP. End of discussion.
I just say this time is even easier to believe this is an original IP (With all respect to the original work). I'm sure if wasn't because I read Dank/Dunk, I will never get this is not an Original IP.
I love Professor Layton, but I sure as heck hope this has more of a plot than Layton generally does. Also, does that mean this will be a one-off game? Not episodic? And why is there an Athabascan woods in Minnesota? Aren't they more in Western Canada and Alaska?

You know, I played some Layton on my girlfriend's DSi XL and I was just thinking that a Layton-like game would be great on PC (especially if it had low hardware requirements, in order to run on netbooks and entry-level laptops). I really hope Telltale is not covering just iPod/iPhone and similia with this.
That game design would be massively improved by Graham's touch.
I REALLY can't wait.
You know what? I think I'm anticipating Scoggins more than Sam & Max episodes right now. :eek:
I mean, new stuff. For real.

Frankly, and from a risk-taking standpoint, we would like to get people used to the idea that we might release a pilot of something and then if it takes, we'll green-light a season. I think that model would allow for us to take more chances and innovate more. We're still trying to figure out exactly how that could play out.
I personally think it may be a part of that idea. The idea is really the perfect test for such a thing. A small, experimental, risky proposition. When I saw that an Annable project was being done at Telltale, this immediately sprung to mind.
Just I hope somehow this ends in a Platform I have already. Like PC or DSi. If not, I have to ask to my friend if he can lend me his IPod Touch, and that it's not going to be pretty.
I hope this is an adventure game and not just "piece these pictures together" "rearrange these tapes" "match clue 1 with clue 4 and clue 7 with clue 13". Eh, something tells me I'd give it a try anyway.

I get the impression it will lean more towards the latter, although that's not based on anything other than an apparent similarity to the Professor Layton games. It would be great if Scoggins included more adventure game aspects than those games though - mainly, decent characters and plot.

I've always been searching for a game with a perfect blend of puzzle, story and overall fun. I thought this was limeted to Rareware N64 platformers untill a found Telltale. It's like and iq test in a game!:D

Please be Twin Peaks with erasers. Please.
My husband and I have a "is allowed to say she'd like to have sexual intercourse with a company on that company's forum" kind of relationship

The erasers are not what they seem.
or they are just erasers.
Because you erased the mistake, or you erased the people who might see it? lol
I may weep openly.
Dear lord no. I think Telltale's games are beautiful as they are! But I welcome awesome new styles to the Telltale library with joy!

So, is this meant to stand on its own, then? I find this screenshot to be pretty awesome.
That might be... dangerous.
As long as the plot isn't
