 SURFIN' THE HIGHWAY IN PRINT
Paperback and limited-edition hardcover on sale now
After ten years relegated to exorbitant eBay auctions and the dusty corners of your neighborhood comic shop, the collected Sam & Max is back in print. Telltale worked together with Steve Purcell to bring the Surfin' the Highway 20th Anniversary Edition into the world, and into the hands of people like you.
In addition to all of the content of the 1995 original, the new edition contains 25 pages of content developed over the last two decades, bringing the page count to 197 with 45 pages in full color. The book is available in two versions, a $19.99 trade paperback (shipping now) and a $49.99 signed and numbered limited edition (expected to ship in Spring 2008, can be preordered now). And if you place your order by February 29, you'll get a free gift!

CSI WII SHIPS
Now with even more swabbing action
CSI: Hard Evidence, Telltale's first title for Nintendo Wii, has been released. It's available in our online store, as well as in retail stores across North America. The Wii version will be released in Europe soon. CSI: Hard Evidence is also available for PC and Xbox 360.
If you'd rather try before you buy, a Hard Evidence demo is available. The demo plays on the PC, but the cases are the same in all three versions, so it should give you a good sense of the game no matter which platform you're considering.

Season One downloads updated, Bone and Hold'em to follow
Telltale has rolled out a massive update to the downloadable Season One games. The biggest news is that all Season One downloads, including Culture Shock, are now fully Vista compatible. Also, the unlock process is easier, and you can download the games directly from your Telltale account or from any mirror site without the need for special download links and weird passwords. (These changes do not apply to disc versions. If you're playing Season One from a disc, you don't need the update.)
Similar updates will be made to the Bone games and Telltale Texas Hold'em in the near future. Customers will receive an email when these games have been updated.

Strange man named Stemmle starts showing up for work
A bearded man calling himself Mike Stemmle has covertly joined the ranks at Telltale's San Rafael office. "I'm not sure where that guy came from," says choreographer Marco Brezzo. "I came to work one day he was sitting at the empty desk next to mine. He seems to know what he's doing, so I figured he belongs here."
Stemmle, best known for obscure titles such as Sam & Max Hit the Road and Escape from Monkey Island, appears to be right at home among Telltale's finest. "To say that I'm tickled pink would be an insulting understatement. It's more like I'm rapturous violet," says Stemmle. "Joining up with the whacky goofballs of Telltale is like a dream come true for me, only with more clothes and fewer troubling appearances by Walter Cronkite."
 Don't just take our word for it! Rumor has it Stemmle will join Steve Purcell, Dave Grossman, Brendan Ferguson, and Chuck Jordan at this Sunday's WonderCon panel, "Turning Comics into Games You Want to Play," at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. | | | | 
Ja, this is my favorite Recipe from when I was just ein wenig Kindvampir. This was before my cruel und unloving Mother weaned me from solid Foods.
1 lb leaf Lard
10 lb Onions, diced
1/2 lb Butter
1 quart heavy Cream
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 tbsp pate Spice
1/2 gallon beef Blood
1) Remove the Skin from the leaf Lard (flaying works nicely und is quite fun!) und dice into teensy tiny Pieces. Smother the Onions well in butter until they stop screaming, let them cool to about Cadaver Temperature und add in the leaf Lard.
2) Add all the other Ingredients, stirring carefully when Blood is introduced. You don't want to waste any! Using a Funnel, fill pork Casings and twist to desired size. I like mine big and luscious... mmm!
3) Drop these Sausages into boiling wasser, lowering the Heat immediately to prevent bursting. And let me just say, It makes SUCH a mess when it bursts everywhere. I had to take my good Cape to the Drycleaners last time.
4) Using a small Pot or Ladle, keep the simmering Water in motion. Cook the Sausages for about 25 minutes, or until congealed to taste.
5) Using the tip of one Claw or silver Dagger, pierce one Sausage. If no Blood comes out, the Sausages are now well done und suitable for non-vampiric Guests. Remove from Water und lay on Sheet Pans lined with Towels.
This will make 8 pounds of the most delicious Blutwurst! For an even tastier Recipe, substitute beef Blood with something a little more... rich. I recommend the corporate CEO perhaps.
