Last week in pictures
Posted by emily February 26, 2008
GDC and WonderCon were back to back this year, which resulted in 1) much revelry for all, and 2) no time to post pictures. But now they are both over, and you get two galleries for the price of one!

First, shots from our party last Monday. We had a zombie theme going on to celebrate the release of Night of the Raving Dead.

Left to right: Steve Purcell and Ron Gilbert engulfed by the crowd; the corpse of Heather Logas; shiny happy zombies.

Left to right: the DJ kicks it out Brady Culture awkward style; the last of the Bosco Tech napkins; a guy having a bad head day.

So, that was the party. It was fun. As for the rest of the week, it's all a blur. I met with a lot of press and showed off a teeny tiny part of episode 204, so expect some previews to start hitting tomorrow. We also got quite a lot of questions about Nintendo's announcement that we're working on a WiiWare game, which we answered with varying levels of coy secrecy. More will be revealed in time, I promise.

Now let's fast forward five days, to the Con of Wonders...

This was our first year with a booth at WonderCon, and I have to say, it's a lot more relaxing than exhbiting at Comic-Con (well, as much as any trade show can be relaxing). It helps that we're local, so we didn't have to ship anything. We had a wide assortment of merchandise at the booth, including Surfin' the Highway, a display copy of the Animated Series DVD, and a few brand new items coming soon to the Telltale store.

On Sunday Steve did a signing at our booth -- always a popular attraction -- and we also did a panel called "Turning Comics into Games You Want to Play," which was really just an excuse to talk about Sam & Max. (But hey, the San Francisco Chronicle enjoyed it!)

Left to right: Doug approves of Telltale's booth; Jake ponders a tough question; a child is corrupted. Click a thumbnail for more Wondercon pics!

Left to right: fans queue up for Steve's signing; Surfin' the Highway, here to stay; so cute it's disturbing.

Left to right: panelists Steve Purcell, Brendan Ferguson, Mike Stemmle, Dave Grossman, and Chuck Jordan say awesomely insightful things.

Are those postcards or stickers of the TV series?

Will any of that other stuff be available in the store?

"Shiny happy zombies?"
Is that an R.E.M. reference?

How about coming over to the East coast some time. :(

Also, I see a bit of the Animated Series DVD in this pic.
When will we be getting some more pics of that? ;)

Hooray for corrupting children!

Woah, looks nice! But unless my memory is like the riches of a twitchy gold panner, you guys look a lot different from when I saw you at PAX. Except Emily and Ron Gilbert. Maybe it's lessened exhaustion from Season 1? *shrug*

Shout Factory sent us some postcards to hand out at the booth, advertising the DVD. We handed them all out, though.

We'll post more pictures of the DVD soon. Only so many hours in a day!

Ron Gilbert is there.
The new IP is Death Spank.

Mindless speculation and jumping to conclusions FTW!

So THAT'S What the back of my head looks like! Man, I don't look that bad from the back. Allllllright! :D Man, Wondercon was sweet!

I think Death Spank is being done with Hot Head Games, ZOMG Telltale are merging with Hot Head!

Loved that picture of Emily wearing a max head T-shirt, standing next to a laptop in an empty bar. Iconic.

I've always known that Steve Purcell had red glowing eyes, but I was surprised to see them in Dave, Mike, Brendan and Chuck. You guys are scary.

Didn't really look at the pictures last time (I know. Shame on me.), but I just have to say that the beard fits you well, Dave. (if it isn't just a weird shadow, in that case, forget I ever said something =P)
