In part 2 of this - make believe - making of video series, Strong Bad who is ticked off about his office, attempts to gain creative control over his own game. If you haven't gotten a chance to pick up the game yet, both Episode 1: Homestar Runner and Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free are ready for you to play via WiiWare and PC. Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands should be launching sometime later this month.

    So he's a couple months late. He's Strong Bad. What are you going to do, not pick up the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People when it hits PC and WiiWare this Monday? Oh I think not. Then there would be a reckoning, and I'm not at all certain how that would play out. Rather than dabble with uncertainties, let's deal with what is certain. Telltale has officially announced that the first episode, Homestar Ruiner, will officially be available this Monday, officially. The Wii version will run you 1,000 fake Wii monies, and will feature the ability to send Strong Bad emails and screens to your friends using WiiConnect24. More »

The teaser trailer here really tells you all you need to know. Smart dog, resourceful but hapless human companion, hilarity ensues. Along with the game series, license holder Aardman will be releasing DVD compilations of the short films later this year, along with an all-new short entitled "A Matter of Loaf and Death" coming to television as well.

    Why Does Sam & Max Work While Other Episodic Stuff Fails?

    It's an interesting question. Telltale's own Bone died before its time, SiN did likewise, and most full game sequels come around faster than Half-Life 2's "episodes". So why, the, does Sam & Max stand as the only successful episodic series to date?
    For the other companies, Valve and Ritual, they made a lot of the mistakes we did early on. But we stuck to our guns and kept going, while they had so many other things going on at the same time. They bailed out a little earlier. We were all in it together then they dropped off.
    That was Telltale's Dan Connors basically saying that since all episodic gaming's going to make mistakes, best to make sure your episodes are as cheap and fast to produce as Sam & Max is. Budding episodic developers, take note. More »

    Sam And Max Totally Headed To The Wii

    Our money was indeed on a full release of the episodic Sam And Max season one for the Wii, and now all we have to do is sit back and wait for our winnings to pour in, as Telltale tells GameSpot official tales of just such a release. Both European and North American Wii consoles will be graced with the first season of the dog and bunny-thing show this fall, with Dreamcatcher and The Adventure Company handing U.S. publishing and JoWood handling Europe's version, which comes complete with German and French voiceovers plus Italian and Spanish subtitles. I almost want to import the Euro version, just to hear Max threatening people in the language of romance, or perhaps French. More »

    Sam And Max - Sometimes The Paranoid Are Right

    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. This is a lesson the manic proprietor of Bosco's Inconvenience store learns in the latest episode of Telltale Games' episodic adventure series Sam and Max, Chariots of the Dogs. Due out March 13th on the GameTap service and a day later via Telltale's website, the puppy and rabbit-thing duo will be tasked with finding their friend, though with the prices he charges they'd probably be better off ransacking his store and calling it a day.

    Telltale Working On WiiWare, Not Working On Sam & Max Wii

    And here we were thinking Telltale were working on Sam & Max for the Wii. Right system, wrong series, wrong format. While the company are indeed developing titles for Nintendo's console, they're not working on Sam & Max. Instead, they're working on a new episodic series for the new WiiWare service. I'd like to think that means they're returning to work on the long-neglected Bone series, but it probably means something entirely new altogether. More »

    Sam And Max Back In Print

    Telltale games is now taking preorders for the reprint edition of Sam and Max Surfin' the Highway, the 1995 paperback collection of Steve Purcell's comics that - alongside the 1993 LucasArts adventure - launched a failed cartoon and eventually led to the episodic adventures we know and love today. The book contains all of the original material plus 25 pages of extra content, including promotional material for the upcoming DVD release of the animated series! The book comes in two flavors: a $19.99 paperback shipping at the end of this month and a $49.99 limited-edition hardback signed and dated by Steve Purcell due out in the Spring. Order before the 29th of this month and you'll get a code good for a free copy of Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa, the first episode of Season 2 of Telltale's adventure series. Having an extremely dog-eared copy of the original in a place of honor on my bookshelf, I cannot recommend Surfin' the Highway enough. Go buy now. More »

    Sam And Max Versus The Nipple Ring Vampire

    If you aren't sold on Telltale Games episodic adventures of Steve Purcell's Sam and Max now that they're nearly three episodes into Season Two, I don't know what to say to you other than shirtless raver vampire with pierced nipples. This is the trailer for episode 3 of Season 2, Night of the Raving Dead, and as always the team at Telltale have managed to deliver a trailer almost as entertaining as playing the game itself. The old-timey black and white with German-language title boards grabs you, and Max shaking his little rabbit-thing ass towards the end reels you in. Look for Night of the Raving Dead for free on GameTap come February 12th, or for not-free at Telltale's website a day later. I leave you with this thought - would a vampire's healing factor reject piercings?

    The Sam & Max Revival (Never Say Die!)

    Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell's day job? Story writer at Pixar. Purcell created the characters as a youth and went on to draw a comic strip and create a Sam & Max graphic novel. A LucasArts adventure game followed as did an animated series. Then things went south: The comics went out of print, the cartoon was canceled and LucasArts ditched the adventure game. Fast forward to the present day, where Sam & Max is experiencing a revival thanks to episodic point & click games. It's getting to the point where the games are now outshining the original comic.

    Kevin Bruner On Why Episodic Gaming Works

    Kevin Bruner, one of the people behind Telltale Games and their Sam and Max series, sat down with gamesindustry.biz at the Nordic Game conference and talked about the promise and peril of episodic gaming - with mostly really positive things to say. His thoughts on the benefits of episodic games for developers reminded me of John Laurence's comments on the micro-transaction model - essentially, it allows more freedom to the developer to create what they want, since 'risk and cost can be lowered up front': More »

Telltale CTO and co-found Kevin Bruner said of the deal "We're extremely pleased." Who would've thought that 6 million bucks equates to "extremely pleased"? More »
