Ok. Countdown. Time to start downplaying the game so our expectations aren't too high. There's no competing with nostalgia so we need to do this.


ToMI sucks because I just ate a carrot.

    ToMI will suck because..

    ..apparently ToMI stands for:

    Tools Development of Basic Electronic System Design Automation

    Now that has to be the worst acronym ever invented, since it isn't one even (strictly speaking).

    Do we want the worst acronym for our beloved pirate game? I think not.

    ToMI sucks because I'm not 12 anymore. What the hell am I supposed to do here guys, just drop everything for the next 6 months? It'll start when I can no longer afford quality snacks for my ToMI play sessions. And it'll end with me pawning this computer for a puptent, my new home and sole possession. So thanks a lot Telltale, for releasing this game about 15 years too late, thus bringing utter ruination to my adult life.

    ToMI sucks because...

    ... it will be the best game ever, and it will be a real problem to have any other new game done because we will have a pandemic of depressed game makers because of comparison and unbearable envy :D

    Heck, will anyone please think of the game-makers?? :D

    The rant was surely intended to be funny. As far as it actually succeeding at said goal...

    Tomi sucks because he's a non-Telltale character and thus does not belong here.

    ToMI sucks because my notebook does.

    ToMI sucks because the weather's way too hot and steamy.

    Tomi sucks because it's a brand of children's toys which, tbh, have parts too small to be allowed in the hands of small children.

    ToMI sucks because it needs to come with a shot of free grog (SMI recipe).

    TomI will suck because one month is too long to wait between episodes especially since one epi can be completed in 4 5 hours

    ToMI sucks because I wrote some insults which I can't translate into my native language properly.
    ToMI sucks because I pre-ordered it before I even knew if it will run on my notebook. (It probably will, albeit a bit slow.)
    ToMI sucks because it made me forget about that RPG, well, almost.
    ToMI sucks because I am using a MI-SE wallpaper as my desktop background now.
    ToMI sucks because if you'd ask me today, I'd tell you that my favorite game character is Guybrush Threepwood.

    - And ToMI will have different controls.
    - So? Just dl the episodes.
    - You fell for that? You're dumb.
    - No, it's in 3d LDO. It's what made the making possible.
    - Ok, if it's true then that's kinda bad.
    - Whatever, stay true to the art and play it on PC.
    - Yeah, Guybrush like a doofus zombie looks rly good srsly. Have you seen how he walks? You're taste needs heavy refining.
    - I haven't played any episode yet, neither have you. It may contain insult swordfighting in another form.
    - You don't know that.
    - Well, anyone lacking credit card in this day and age could surely persuade his/her parents to pay up.
    - I disagree.

    ToMI will suck because TellTale's format of light and simple adventuring with gentle humour will seem incongruous with a series so many of us cherish. The little differences will gnaw away, incapable of living up to the standards the originals set and nostalgia hardened. This will turn to disappointment and leave the experience hollow, creating a deep resentment.

    Damn I'm good at Devil's Advocate. Only 2 days, woot!

    ToMI sucks because I won't be able to stop playing until I finished the episode.
    ToMI sucks because I'll throw my notebook out of the window if the game does not run properly.

    Just for the record - Shmeh, whom you quoted, just listed all kinds of things other people have written about here on the forum in the last few days, most of which (like this one) have already been refuted.

    That looks very much like sarcasm to me, which would be quite what this thread as a whole intended... *hint hint*
