I hope so as well, but my hopes are not very high. Because Emily wrote this on another thread:
"Per the contract, GameTap has a two-week exclusivity on new episodes. We could not have released Abe Lincoln Must Die a week early to season customers if they had not said it was okay ahead of time (which they did)."
Even though she doesn't say it directly, it sounds like it was a one-time type of thing, since they had to inform them ahead of time and all that.
Don't worry guys, waiting just makes it better. Unless you wait for years and years and years though. Then it usually gets all stale and moldy like that loaf of bread that you forgot about in your pantry from last month.

The later you get home from work, the happier your dog is to see you!
Please don't take that as me asking for Telltale to release this episode late.

That's true. When I come home late, I have one dog and two cats sitting in front of me, staring at me with great anticipation. I interpret it to mean, "Where the hell have you been and where is my food? I'm hungry!"
Well, since the episode is released the day before my vacation ends, at least this means I'll have something to do on the plane ride home! Thanks, TellTale!
*hopes I can reach a good saving point before they do the whole "turn off all electronics" thing*
Nice work guys You have no idea how much I love this game. Thanks for getting a hackneyed old gamer back in the habit! Worth every penny of the full season price if you ask me
Thanks Telltale. I was just watching Scrubs thinking how tough it will be to go to work tomorrow after the long weekend(4 day bank holiday weekend in england) This is a great surprise
Excellent! I was just jonesing for this episode earlier today and dreading the wait until Thursday, but what do I see when I get home from work? An email from Telltale.
well, that surely required a piece of luck for me to find this out early (or maybe I just have to thanks my dearly obsession about our favourite fuzzy rabbit )
anyway, thank you Telltale and Gametap for letting us enjoy early another fine settlement of sam & max! I haven't already finished this ep (still need to beat up that Auntie Biotic and her nasty frying pan ;p), but I sure can tell you that I already had a heck of a great time.
"The internet wizard will guide you though the installation of reality 2.0", i wonder if anyone else noticed this.....
i like this episode the most so far for one simple reason..... it is not as linear as the previous episodes, once you enter reality 2.0 you see and interact with all of the puzzles that you need to solve in order to reach the final act, and most of the fun is figuring out which one you should work on....
not like in episode 4 where you cannot touch any of the items on the presidents desk untill you need them to solve a puzzle.....
P.S. in episode 6, can you get some new lines for when you shoot around boscos store, those dozen lines were the only ones i found that were not changed in episode 5 (that and max's "oh fun" line when he enters the bathroom)
Well, the ending's going to really get the theorists started...
Great episode, especially to say it was basically set on the same street throughout the entire game. It's fantastic how you manage to turn something we've seen plenty of times before into something new.
Thank you Telltale! And what a brilliant episode it is! I was especially positively surprised that just about every re-occuring hotspot has had its comments changed. Getting reminded of DoTT is definitely a good thing too, as is the fun to be had with
insult-.. err, quip-swordfighting
. (Unfortunately there was one reference I was rooting for that didn't materialize: oldie game Covert Action. It's quite obscure and not in the adventure genre by any means, but there's such clear joke-material there... Oh, well...)
The ever-increasing arsenal of dialogue animations is getting better and better at providing appropriate animation for each line. I can't think of any adventure game where that gets such attention, let alone this succesfully. And I'm delighted to see the return of the priceless Max animation you can now see
when fighting the slime
.
I should wrap up this post now. I'll let the rest of the praising wait for a later time and another thread.:)

but bug fixing to me is bigger than early releases, keep it up tech team! and come up with a perfect boxed release!

That's true.
Oh, that was very off topic... um, 7 days to go!
*hopes I can reach a good saving point before they do the whole "turn off all electronics" thing*
Also, please remember that anything you may stumble upon before we've officially announced it is downloaded at your own risk.
Love you Telltale!
Something tells me I'm not going to get a lot done this evening now
Also I do like the fact that you've given Sam new observations on (virtually?) everything.
Thanks Telltale. I was just watching Scrubs thinking how tough it will be to go to work tomorrow after the long weekend(4 day bank holiday weekend in england) This is a great surprise
I love you guys, *sniff*
