Hmm, I am currently downloading episode 6 on the live server. You guys might want to try it now. It is possible that I can see it because I'm inside the firewall, but hopefully not. At any rate, if its not out right now, it will be in the very near future.
Its not there now, still only episode 1-5. Really hope "near future" is today else someone gotta loose their head or atleast job we need are drugs now, in this case sam and max
All good now. Thanks Will, Gametap, Telltale, and Richard Gere for working so hard on getting this thing out and keeping us informed in the process.
Downloading now, and I should be on the moon in no time!
They've barely covered up the spoiler, the new infocard is a pretty big wink wink nudge nudge thing... unless it's a red herring, but we wouldn't know, because gametap can't upload a simple game *growls rabidly*
EDIT: From the GameTap instructions for BSOTM...
"While you don't need to have played the previous 5 episodes of Sam & Max to get through From The Jaws Of Certain Bliss...."
Am I missing something, or can GameTap not even get the title right??
I am guesssin this was a working title since someone on another topic said that Telltale revealed the title at the last minute because they were still working on it. Gametap is probably lazy in updatin their articles.
a lot of return characters, some jokes poked at earlier sam and max episodes (including a few aimed at hit the road)
the episode is set at night (or dusk) and this gives the locations a whole new feel........ the usual "change every episode" jokes are still there...... and while not every clickable item has a new line, a better part of them do
a very fitting, and satisifying conclusion to the season, i am going to play through it again tonight.... and i will write my walkthrough as i am playing, so if you are stuck (i was in quite a few places) i will be able to help
P.S. the credits were one of the funniest parts of the game......
the part with max chasing after the headless president puppet in front of the white house
it will be worth the wait for those of you who do not have access to gametap.......
was i the only person who noticed that a lot of the items in the street locations get animated textures for this episode....... some things look a lot better this way (but a few things had an obvious "3D render" look to them, as opposed to the usual cartoon-esque look of the games) but it is not a big gripe of mine
i did notice just one dialogue related bug, and i will be starting a bug report thread on it in a few minutes........
they also brought back the intro scene before the credits like they had in episode 4, although i think the credits would match the episode better if the background was white, instead of the
Orange
color they used
sadly
the bug
is no longer a item you carry around with you...... (sorry guys ) but he does make a cameo in the episode...... along with some other well loved season one characters (but i will not list them all, i would rather have it be a surprise)
I don't think that just because someone from Gametap kept us informed about it means they have good customer service. Even if it does, they still screw up a lot.
You've got that right. I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing problems, but I didn't expect to see someone from GameTap here.
It's nice to see that they care enough for their userbase to come to the forums of the developer of the game that they're having upload problems with and let them know what's going on.
Now I have no qualms at all about getting GameTap. Fantastic service and customer service to boot.:cool:
It should be pointed out that this is not unprecedented of them... They have made many comments in the past on both this forum AND Myst Online: Uru Live's, their other original.
And remember: customer service is not about being perfect. It's about making people like you.
But TTG succeeds on both I defy anyone here to find another game company with employees like Doug, Emily, and Jake (and sometimes a couple others) who'll not only go out of their way to help customers, but will even do it on their own free time, just because they can.
GameTap does that to some extent too, but they are still a "business-hours only" company, that magically solves issues only after a few thousand angry gamers with fat wallets have threatened to cancel their subscriptions. Not to say that's always the case, but usually it is.
(This is probably my tenth post about this, but it bears repeating lol)

I always think of your name first, because it reminds me of Mike Tabacco, the leading character in Killer Klowns From Outer Space, one of my favorite horror-comedies ever :P
I have to say, Cyan Worlds has been pretty awesome when I have contacted with them as well. Last time I wrote to the e-mail adress on their page and asked a question about what plans they were having for the future - this was back before URU live was announced to be re-released, and before writing him an e-mail I signed up for the beta testing - Rand Miller himself replied me. I never expected the big cheese himself to reply me, so that was a pleasantly suprise. I also remember he had sometimes when he came into the game and talked with the people about their experience and such. Pretty great stuff.

lol, that's hilarious.

And I agree with Derwin, Richard Gere has saved the day again!

Absolutely true. I speak from experience.

I totally agree! Best people ever
