Telltale Games

Some guys from IGN managed to scrounge up Strong Bad's private number, and they got him to answer some questions about his Cool Game for Attractive People and the upcoming episode, Strong Badia the Free*. It's definitely worth a listen! (The Strong Bad interview starts about halfway through the podcast.)

Listen to the IGN Podcast!

Speaking of press, if you still need to be convinced that Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner is a game worth playing, here's a crash course on the first hour of gameplay, thanks to Crispy Gamer. Oh, and we found out today that Homestar Ruiner is #1 on the WiiWare charts for the third week in a row. Woo!

*Coming soon to PC and WiiWare!

PAX: Live from the show floor
Posted by jake	August 31, 2008
PAX is winding down (only four hours left!) and all is well. It seems like nearly everyone walking around the show is sporting a Strong Bad or Sam & Max pin, the Enforcers once again kept us stocked with water and amazingly helpful offers to help out, and we've all memorized every video playing at our booth (and the three adjoining booths). Nick played some Left4Dead, embarassed himself at Rock Band 2, and apparently won a t-shirt or something in a contest. We got a bunch of DeathSpank shirts from the Hothead guys. Daniel and Chuck spoke at panels about writing and art in games. Our booth was awesome! We've been posting photos to flickr like crazy, so for a look around the show, be sure to check out Doug's, Nick's, Seg's, and my PAX photostreams. Possibly best of all, though, our "Make a Scene With Telltale" panel went off without a hitch. We brought along a few PCs running copies of the Telltale Tool, filled a room with Strong Bad and Telltale fans, and through a carefully concocted mixture of meticulous planning and a lot of excited amused yelling, wrote, voiced, and produced a short SBCG4AP scene in under an hour. Lots of folks were there (we filled the room -- they were turning people away!), including IGN, GameVortex -- and probably some others which I can't load, thanks to the amazingly saturated free wifi -- but fortunately, through the new Telltale video site, you can check out the results of the panel yourself, and find out the real reason Strong Bad wasn't able to make it to PAX... We'll all be trickling back into the real world over the next day or two, but in the meantime, huge thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth or went to the panel. If you didn't make it to PAX this year, hopefully we'll see you next time!

We're off to PAX!
Posted by Emily	August 28, 2008
Man, the airport is empty at 5:00 in the morning. Anyway, we're off to PAX! Today half of the group heads out to build our booth and get everything set up, and tomorrow the other half will show up to take place in Telltale's panel and enjoy the general revelry that is PAX. We'll be at booth 612 (right in front of the entrance to the exhibit hall... can't miss us!) Sam & Max and Strong Bad will be playable, we'll have merch for sale, and depending on the time of day and the amount of sleep we got the night before, we may even engage in intelligent conversation. If you're in Seattle, come see us! And you'll definitely want to check out our panel, "Make a Scene with Telltale: The Strong Bad Edition," which is at 7:30 on Friday in the Raven Theater. Unfortunately the internet is thwarting my attempts to post the panel description here, and my flight is about to board, but trust me, it'll be awesome.

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.
