In a way it was kind of essential you played through the Meteos credits as until you unlock planet Meteos, it was the only way to earn dark and glow Meteos. I think planet Meteos required you to have 500 of each before as well.

I thought this was concept for another Kingdom Hearts game, but I guess the other forum I was reading was making shit up. Eh... Disney.

David Eggers is a famous author.

Yes sir, this technique is parallax scrolling for the future. I thought that was the appeal in the first place?

SEE FRANK?! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T LET YOUR DAD KISS YOU!!!

He's chasing that lost chaos gold.

I've heard it's all in an amazing gallery hidden behind a turnstyle bookcase.

I love this movie. 5IU9pqWA3go&hl Like most Studio 4C movies, it makes liberal use of the technique. This is also incredible as well, if not maybe mimicking their style: http://www.gobelins.fr/galerie/animation/film2008-Apreslapluie.htm I wish I could go to this school

Wow really? I haven't worked there for a few years now since I graduated college, but it was kind of funny. When I worked at a Kinko's before that it was Huey Lewis almost all day too, but most people don't think of Kinko's as having music so I didn't mention it. Haha I guess it's a good thing, though, since I would much prefer that over the campaign they had for a while promoting the Olivia Newton John song about breast cancer that would play every 30 minutes on the speakers.

Yeah and what I can see that would make or break the argument for or against the PoP Epilogue is whether or not one could find out whether it was taken out of the original game in order to profit off of downloadable content later, if the epilogue was made purposefully for downloadable content as an afterthought, or if it was unfinished, didn't make it in the original game and later released to fans. I doubt we'll ever find out, but I'll bet Ubisoft won't do it again. 20 euros is definitely a bit much, though.

I think some of the backgrounds may need to be touched up or were done really rough originally and finished on the computer, but I have no idea. Every original background released so far looks pretty finished to me. Certainly would be much more refined than the messy brushes they used for some of the backgrounds of MI:SE.

DOIN IT ALL FOR MY BABY HAPPY TO BE STUCK WITH YOU AND THAT'S THE POWER OF LOVE WE GOTTA GO BACK IN TIME IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE DOIN IT DOIN IT (I think they play his whole discography over the speakers at Walgreen's if you sit in the store long enough.)

I think it's more like we've only seen 4 or 5, and the rest are hidden somewhere.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93395-Dont-Get-Your-Hopes-Up-For-Beyond-Good-Evil-2-Yet So no dice for this game at this time. What is Ubisoft trying to achieve here? What was with that teaser trailer? Apparently the leaked footage was unintentional though. No one is going to support an original IP if confidence is not given by the company. The consumer interest tends to reflect on that I think. Had they had another Beyond Good and Evil game on the tail of the first unsuccessful one as originally planned with the trilogy thing, I bet we'd already be into the third game right now with each one selling exponentially more than the last. It's not like Ubisoft is lacking the money to release pet project games that are somewhat experimental but can be turned into profit in the long run if followed through. Or so I hear:

Jeez Louise, is it really that much of a stretch to see why this kind of money making downloadable content would bother some people? Also I collect too many action figures (yeah, I know it's lame), which there is also a very definitive science to try to buy from the best companies and get quality toys for your money, since they all pretty much end up costing $15 from everyone per figure anyways. Cheap variants and small changes meant to take advantage of the "must have it all" action figure collector can also really hurt a company. Palisade Toys, if anyone followed them, had suffered from this and many think that is one of the many reasons the company went out of business. Just because something makes money for someone short term, like LucasArts' new Monkey Island clothes, doesn't necessarily make it a great idea. Does a cheap cash-in such as this hurt the brand in the long run or will gamers not care and those who want will buy? You could argue both ways. (I don't really want to much past this post because I'm in no position to.) This may be my own ideal of Telltale as a company, but they have never seemed like a company that is overly commercial where sales necessarily take a priority over content. Telltale has much less of the Call of Duty Night Vision goggles extreme type capitalism to more of one which will play fair. What I'm going to type following this sentence will be completely presumptuous. For instance, sometimes Telltale seems to go out of it's way to avoid an easy way to make money such as when I get a free episode from a promotion or something and it discounts the cost to buy a whole series. The case file content for each Sam and Max series was awesome, but I can't help but wonder if the $5 each person paid actually covered that stuff. The DVDs you get at the end of a series are also "free," with the customer only having to cover shipping costs, so essentially it feels like you are getting a full boxed game with 20 hours of gameplay at the end of a series for a steal at $35 instead of the usual $50-60. This is great to me, but I feel sort of like I'm stealing... I don't know. Although, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying any of this is bad or not thought through, since I don't even work there or follow sales figures or know how to run video game company, I'm just a customer. And I do love how Telltale treats its customers. All of these little "gifts" probably increases brand loyalty a thousand fold and equals more money in the long run, so maybe that's the major part of what makes Telltale so commercial that I don't understand. I know that feeling, because when a company makes you love them, you almost want to start just donating money. I mean if Ubisoft were a small company that made downloadable episodes, I imagine they wouldn't treat anyone this nice.

No but it does come with a blood splatter tattoo along with two fully loaded machine guns, just in case you never get a scratch when you done blowing all those dudes away. It's for the photo-op afterwards.

It was just so... context sensitive.

I agree with this. It would especially make getting achievements more worth it. But then as OssK said: I think I love OssK.

Hahah, nevermind, I was getting into 2001 mode or something and now I forgot why. I think the title of this thread is funny because since Sam and Max has been back for a while now, not that the OP realized that either in 2006.

Yes, but not much more beyond what you linked to.

I remember running around the Hotel with friends in high school trying really hard to scam people out of their furniture. The problem was that it turned out almost everyone else was doing the same thing. So you would have shady characters saying, "You want furniture? Come to this secret room..." and you get there and the guy is asking you if you know where to score some Habbo money to buy a lamp. Then I blocked the floor to the disco and got banned for 24 hours.

Er, you may be in for a surprise. Quick, edit your post before Toblix comes back!

Is this "next gen?" Paying for polygonal clothes? This is just about as useful as paying real monies for those icon gifts on Facebook. I don't even want to acknowledge that Monkey Island is in on this. I'm sure someone might possibly come along and tell me to "wipe off my dirty diapers because I am a grumpy grandpa" or something along those lines, but this feels wrong. Just hoping more that this sort of thing doesn't catch on with a general gaming audience.

Plow your 3 Witches or your first born will steal your fields. Okay, I'm done being obnoxious for this week.
