We've posted some new screenshots, and the official teaser trailer, for Strong Bad episode 2: Strong Badia the Free. "When Strong Bad fails to obey the King of Town's totally unfair email tax, he's placed under house arrest. Once freed from his wrongful imprisonment, Strong Bad goes on a mission to unite the local warring factions under the Strong Badian flag."

Go over to the site and check it out! Strong Badia the Free hits PC and WiiWare this September.

Behind the Booth: The making of... our booth.
Posted by jake August 25, 2008


PAX, the Penny Arcade Expo, is coming up this weekend, and we'll be there. In a booth.

PAX has quickly become our favorite show of the year. From the engaged show attendees who actually know who we are and play our games, to our now annual "Make a Scene with Telltale" panel, to what is probably the most cordial and generally awesome expo security force in the world (Seriously, last year they came by and gave us water and soft drinks on a regular basis. This is amazing.), PAX is my friend. Anyone who loves any type of gaming should probably go. You won't regret it.

Anyway, the booth! We have one this year, and it is ridiculous. Last week a few of us got together in a warehouse to try and put the booth together once, as a test. Fortunately, it looks great. Unfortunately, the fully assembled booth won't be something we can show you until PAX starts on Friday -- in the grand tradition of all Telltale trade show coverage, our camera totally failed the moment we got the booth all the way built, and started taking photos of nothing but blackness.

We documented the actual assembly process, and some of the art, though, and thought you might want to see it. So, without further ado, here are a bunch of pictures of us putting together some sort of crazy wood and aluminum contraption that will be our PAX booth.

Surely you've been reading Strong Bad's dev blog, in which the masked star of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People offers his insights about the game development process. Now we're taking you even deeper into the intriguing world of episodic game design with Behind the Bad, a series of short documentaries that pulls back the curtain to reveal exactly what it is we do around here...

The Strong Bad reviews are in!
Posted by Emily August 14, 2008
In theater, there is a tradition of staying up all night after a premiere, anxiously awaiting the reviews that will hit in the next morning's paper. It would be romantic to say that's what happened with the Strong Bad reviews (and after all the sugar on Monday, we certainly had enough jittery energy to stay up all night!), but the internet is a living beast, and the reviews have been rolling in all week with no sign of stopping. And guess what? They're pretty damn good! (Not to mention that, as WiiWare-World announced yesterday, Homestar Ruiner is currently the #1 game on WiiWare...)

Here is some of the awesome praise we've been seeing for Homestar Ruiner, the premiere episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People:

N-Europe, 9/10
SBCG4AP is virtual proof that the point-and-click adventure game is alive and well, and still extremely fun and rewarding to play. This is one of the funniest and best Wii games released to date, period. And the best? There's still four more installments to come starting with Strong Badia the Free next month. Bring. It. On.

Wired Game|Life Blog, 8/10
I had a great time just walking around and clicking on things just to see what happened, as exploration is always rewarded with, at least, a witty remark from Strong Bad. The 3-D graphics replicate the 2-D Flash animation surprisingly well -- it's as if you're playing an episode of the show. Even being familiar with Telltale's work, I was genuinely surprised at just how much content is packed into this first episode.
