    From the looks of things, summon yog soggoth and papierwaite was pretty evil when summoning him in 302 forcing maximus to due so when sammeth was going to be killed if he didnt obey and if he does obey maximus gets destroyed.

    Papierwaite is definitely evil but I think that he is being forced to do Norrington's work for him. Norrington has brought back Papierwaite as his younger self to help him.

    Sure Papierwaite's not some timeshare of a servant?

    didint at the time sam and max have a device to control their sould and put into their bodies.
    Just a machine that pulled their souls back into their bodies, IIRC. Until they did that, they controlled their zombie selves. But when their souls were put into Jurgen's monster, THEY could suddenly control the souls instead of their zombie bodies.

    sammunmak still had them with him when he took over the planet
    Not THEN, when the molemen put the toys into Max's brain jar! They just disappeared!

    Guh, what am I doing, this is clearly not the kind of game to overthink... : P

    I'm counting down these last three days with a marathon, one episode per day. I'll probably do the same for the last one, too. They're just so awesome!

    I always thought your catchphrase was "Is there any cake left?"

    (I'm just joking with you)

    Fine, have your goddamn catchphrase! I don't need it! I can think up my own!

    Uhhhhh... 該死的直線!

    Remember they had control over their souls and the souls have always been trying to break free bet never could gain control. When they died their souls broke free but when they where revived and used the device to return their souls back, the souls are trapped again and have no control.
    But then again your right a game where a dog and physcic rabbit save the world from space gorillas isnt a game to overthink.

    Did you know...

    China and Japan use same alphabets called Kanji. But pronunciations are different. Also Japan uses two more alphabets, Hiragana and Katakana.
  • edited July 2010
    The Chinese writing system is not called Kanji. It's called Hanzi. It's a small difference, but I believe a lot of Chinese really don't like having their stuff confused with Japanese stuff.

    And I came up with a long and involved description of how the souls thing in 203 made any sense, but I was just messing around at the time.

    1 day now until this is released - does it normally come at midnight PST?
  • edited July 2010
    Closer to noon.

    From the way they say PST on the advert, it seems more final...
  • edited July 2010
    They have to say PST because a bunch of people complained when the Monkey Island episodes weren't out at midnight in New Zealand on the given release dates.

    Ah ok but it will be out by noon at the latest (that's 8pm for us which is okay I suppose)

    It's Telltale's new effort to curtail the proliferation of whine and drama that has come to the boards. Or not...

    Anyways, Telltale peeps usually show up at 8a or 9a PST on the release date and usually in about 1 to 3 hours it magically appears and happiness rains down in double rainbows of joy.

    Yeah I'm gonna resist the urge to come on immediately at 4 and spend hours on the computer repeatedly refreshing the page. :p

    Dr Norrington sounds a lot like The Devil.

    I didn't think of that...
    It could work... would be an interesting tie-in.

    Try around 8.

    Sadly enough I have already spend my downloadlimit and got my speed lowered, which means I get to spend like 2 1/2 hours downloading after it's released.
    :(. Why didn't I save bandwidth?

    Hi all,

    That trailer is a hoot, ennit? I hope you guys like the ep... all of us had a great time putting it together.

    While you're all sitting on pins and needles (btw, STOP DOING THAT - you could get an infection or something), here's a last piece of teaser art...

    Is it, by any chance, connected with all the replicas around the world, including the ones in Paris and Tokyo? =P
