    Like Penny Arcade. I Guess I'll want to know more about that with this game on the near horizon.

    Its 11:30 there, so they still have half the day left to announce it.

    Anyone have any good ways to pass time?

    Try to make sense out of this

    I never sleep alone. I got the voices to keep me company.

    Oooh!!! I recommend Girly! Despite the title of the webseries, it's not really all that girly. In fact, for a title like that you'd imagine less lesbian porking...

    Also safe for work. No genitalia or actual intercourse depicted.

    I pieced together a bunch of dialouge people wrote to pass the time:
    Max: Read em and weep: 3 dispencers and 2 Divs.
    Strong Bad: Aw crap! All I got was 2 Skunkapes, a Homsar, a Scout and a lousy Monkey Dude!

    Heavy: You may have outsmarted me Rabbit but let's see you outsmart Boolet! (Picks up Sasha)
    Max: (Takes out Luger) Oh boy! It's just like my dad's poker games when I was young.

    Oh, I know how the follow-up trailer would probably be.

    Telltale Games logo

    Then some other logos to accompany the Telltale Games logo

    Shot of a dark room with an empty table, a light shining on the table. Then Strong Bad takes a seat, followed by Max and Tycho.

    STRONG BAD: Let's do this.

    Fade to black

    TELLTALE GAMES PRESENTS

    Shot of heavy furiously putting a rock on the table.

    HEAVY: HA! YOU LOSE!

    ROCK, PAPER, BACCARAT

    Because people *ahem* like *ahem* them so much, here are more excerpts:

    Tycho: So, Exactly Who are you?
    Heavy: I am Heavy Weapons Guy. But my teammates call me Heavy.
    Tycho: They got that right.

    Strong Bad: So, Max, what's your favorite game?
    Max: I like the one where I pick up random pedestrians and drive recklessly through the city and drop them off at God knows where.
    Strong Bad: You mean Taxi Driver? That's a cool video game, man!
    Max: Whoa, who said anything about video games?

    Tycho: Don't you ever put on clothes, Max?
    Max: I'm a wild animal. I'm supposed to be naked. It's expected of me.
    Tycho: Is that a no?
    Max: Not really.

    Heavy: Where does little bunny keep his gun?
    Max: That's none of your damn business. And don't call me a bunny!
    Heavy: Aw, he's so cute when he's mad.
    Max: Grrr...

    I was just thinking of opening cutscenes for the diffrent characters:

    Max's
    Sam and Max are relaxing in the office (I.e. trying to shoot a fly) when...
    RRIIINNNGGG!
    I got it! I got it!
    (Sam shoves max out the window)
    Sam: Yeah? Uh'uh? Maybe? It's for you Max.
    (Sam hands the phone to Max who's hanging out the window.)
    Max: Yes? Right... With a flamethrower... I'm there.
    Sam: Who was it? The Comisioner?
    Max: Better. I've been invited to an interdimensional poker tournemt!
    Sam: Why? You don't have any money.
    Max: I don't but there's all that gold in fort knox just going to waste.
    Sam: Gambling our nations financial security on games of chance, the greatest American tradition!

    Tycho's Opening
    (Phone Rings)
    Gabe: Hello? Tycho, dude, it's for you.
    Tycho: Yes? Yes? Yes? Hell No! Oh, alright. (he hangs up)
    Gabe: Who was it?
    Tycho: Some dude invited me to a poker tournament.
    Gabe: Who's playing?
    Tycho: A sociopathic rabbit, a Russian Soldier, and some kind of wrestleman.
    Gabe: All right, have fun. You poor bastard.
    Tycho: What?
    Gabe: Nothing.

    Heavy's
    Engineer: We just recived order that one of us has to attend a Texas hold 'em poker tornement.
    Scout: How 'bout Spy. He plays cards.
    Spy: Non! I play Baccharach, not your stupid "Look at me maintain a straight face for 5 hours" game.
    Scout: How about the Pyro. He/she/it has an incredible poker face.
    Engineer: Don't you remember what happened the last time we tried "Go Fish" with him?
    Scout: Oh yeah... got it mixed up with an ouigi board and somehow managed to channel the spirit of Thomas Jefferson.
    Engineer: The rest of that night is something that still haunts my dreams.
    (Heavy enters)
    Heavy: What are you talking about?
    Engineer: Poker tornument.
    Heavy: Will there be sandviches?
    Scout: I guess...
    Heavy: COUNT ME IN!

    Strong Bad
    (ring)
    Strong Bad: Hello? Yes? Okay, Count me in.
    Strong Sad: Who was it?
    Strong Bad: Some idiot invited me to a poker tournament.
    Strong Sad: Are you going?
    Strong Bad: I don't know. What else is there to do?
    Strong Sad: I could read you some of the poetry I've written.
    Strong Bad: Okay, I'm going.

    Max: How do you hold cards with boxing gloves on?
    SB: That's none of your damn business, Max.

    Or catch up with the forums here.
    (And not even a page per 5 minutes thread like the 305 waiting thread right now)

    Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (but only the original versions; the intro sequence is ordered differently in the FM Towns VGA release).

    Still no news about this yet? Might have to wait until tomorrow then...
  • edited September 2010
    Crap still nothing? I waited a few hours this time too...

    It has Tycho and Max and Heavy and Strong Bad

    It's like Smash Bros but ten times the personality!

    GIVE GIVE GIVE!

    Like "Is it agood idea to microwave this?" show on Youtube.. Best to start in the 100's, and randomly work your way through them

    This now the point in the "We're all waiting for..." thread where I have to remind everyone about a little thing called time zones. Although it may be bed-time where you are, or even September 3rd in some parts, it is still only 2pm on September 2nd where Telltale is. I still have a couple more hours of work before I will even be home, so chill everyone.

    Carry on with the incessant whining and complaining now.

    PS: Since I am being a grumpy-grump I'll just add: GET OFF MY LAWN, you darn kids.

    I think I got it.

    isi-x290.jpg

    Its called, "Atavistic Vinteges After the Rain." I think that it depicts a Father and his Son walking through what used to be a huge ocean (hence the mountains in the distence. That used to be the mainland. Also, "After the Rain" might have something to do with that) and they come across the skeleton of an unknown sea creature, that by chance, perched itself perfectly onto that y-shaped stick and that rock.

    Ridiculous? Yes. But the painting could mean anything. This is just as possible as any other theory as far as I know.

    Its only 6:00pm here. We'll know sooner or later.

    I got back from eight hours of school for THIS?
  • edited September 2010
    I'll take one last stab at the title: Telltale Card Sharks, Telltale Games (a self titled game would be a bit funny), or Telltale Texas Hold'em: All-Stars Edition? That last one happens to be something that I suggested some years back (after playing far too much Telltale Texas Hold'em, I might add): http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3190

    We can safely assume that it's not Telltale Strip Poker. Max would be ousted from the tournament at the start. Also, Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2 would need to be one of the characters. ;)

    Frankly, it would be best if, assuming that it is indeed a followup to Telltale Texas Hold'em, it offered a wider variety of card games, anyway. Although, it is, after all, all about the character interaction, and that's what made the first Telltale Texas Hold'em so much fun to play.

    Of course, the cards in the trailer could be a red herring, and the game could turn out to be something completely different. Hopefully, we will know soon.

    Its probably some kind of card game with fighting.

    We know heavy can fight, we know Max can fight, we sure know strong bad can hit people. Im not sure about that forth dude, i dont really know anything about him?.

    I could imagine that happening. Or maybe a DaLorean popping through the screen instead.

    That wouldn't work, with the "Find out how..." part at the end.

    Well, another option is that they would give you a Photoshop tutorial on how to shoop such pictures?

    I've got it.....it's a children's card game....ON MOTORCYCLES.

    I actually really hope it's a card game now. A nice, casual game with hilarious banter from characters I've already grown to love in their respective games sounds immensely enjoyable.

    Whatever it is, I hope it comes out sometime this month.

    As long as it's not just Poker, I'm fine with a card game too.
