You like Graham Annabel's stuff too? Awesome! Yeah, I can't wait for Puzzle Agent. And the 50% off with pre-order thing has me sold. I'll be picking it up with the Sam & Max case file and POSSIBLY Sbemail.exe disk six. Depending on how much moneys I can dig up.

As you can tell by me bear b/w antlers avatar, I am a big fan of the Dank / Dunk series.

My plan is: Preorder and get the Book of Grickle

Bear with antlers!

Wheelson, you seem to get sold by any preorder with the words "percent off" in it. Since I love taking advantage of a good rip-off opportunity, you can preorder my Illustrated History of Strong Badia the Free for 0% Off!
Oh, right, talking about video games! Um...I recently started playing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds again, and it's exactly as awesome as I remembered, though it has some problems adjusting to Windows 7. You can post-order my copy of the game for -500% Off!

I personaly don't like episodic gaming. I don't like where you have to basicly buy the same game five times to get some sorta plot thing. Things I already like about PUZZLE AGENT:

1. Non-episodic gaming
2. Random crap happens (Gnome FTW!)
3. Graham Annabel
4. Seems like it has a good plot
5. Clever
6. $9.50 + 50% off!

How is it buying the same game 5 times? The complete game is the entire season. It's not like they charge $50 per episode. It's $10 per episode, each of which make up 1/5 of the game. 1/5 = 10/50. So if you buy the whole season, you're buying one $50 game.

That is true. I guess it's more of the "havig to pay for it 5 times". Especialy since my Dad doesn't really get the concept of episodic gaming. ("Wait, didn't you just buy this yesterday?" "No, this is the next one" ... "So it's, like, SBCG4AP 2? Maybe you should beat 1 first...")

Same thing here.

The Best Way to experience episodic gaming is to find a popular game with a lot of mods, then plow through ModDB. It's LIKE Episodic gaming, though every episode is a different story a lot of the time with different characters.
ONE TIME PURCHASE TWILIGHT ZONE EPISODIC GAMING.

Yeah, but that's why they offer Season passes. You can just buy the whole thing in one shot, then download 'em when they come out.

Sam & Max Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak comes out next Tuesday! YESSS!

STEAM FOR MAC STEAM FOR MAC STEAM FOR MAC STEAM FOR MAC.

I was able to do it before, but now I won't have to wait three hours and be able to play for twelve minutes. It is a overwhelming upgrade from before.

Plus, I have to keep asking my dad for hid credit card.

At last! I've been waiting for this since last summer...
THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND SPECIAL EDITION IS FINALLY HERE!
For those of you who don't know, The Secret of Monkey Island was the first-ever Monkey Island game. It's graphics were crappy, and people spoke through captions appearing on the screen. In the version we own, the music doesn't even work!
But now, a Special Edition has been released. It has a full voice-over, new fancy-schmancy graphics, and other good things.
And, as soon as I get 10 bucks, IT'S MINE! ALL MINE!!!

I got that for Xbox 360 months ago.

I don't have an Xbox, Okay? Do I look like the kind of guy who walks around, carrying his Xbox and whistling a tune? No! I got a PC and a Wii! The Wii is brand new! I know that the Xbox version has been out for a long time. You don't have to remind me! Okay? OKAY?! OKAY?!?! LET ME REVEL IN MY MOMENT OF HAPPINESS BEFORE IT IS SNATCHED AWAY LIKE A CHILD'S LUNCH ON HIS FIRST DAY OF SECOND GRADE! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK? IS IT?!

I need sugar.

I wouldn't quite call the Wii brand-new. It came out, what, four years ago?

And I don't think you need any more sugar, Uzi. I think you need some iced tea. Or some Banang.

I mean that OUR Wii is brand new. We've had for just a few months now. I know that the product is pretty old.
And we're all out of sedatives. My brother goes through those things like they were paste!

Now you've made me want to play it. I should go get my Sysper Station up, I think that's my only computer with enough space to play it right now. I uninstalled it from my 486 to make room for Quake II

EDIT: WAIT I THOUGHT OF ANOTHER OLD ADVENTURE GAME I WANT TO PLAY.

Spoiler:

Well, Wheelson, I still don't have enough money to purchase Sam & Max Season 2, especially since I'm still saving up for the Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition.
But I've got something better:
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY!

I know that this is kind of cheaping out, but I'm actually getting the Wii version of the game from the library. I am no longer one of the cool video gamers.
...but at least I'll be an uncool video gamer who's playing Sam & Max Season 2 FOR FREE!
I'll make a Text Wall-style Review once I've played it.

Well, provided the Wii version is as good as the PC version: Nice! Trust me, the puzzles in this season are 100% better than the ones in Season 1.

I just downloaded Portal for FREE!!!

Well, they canceled my order for the Wii version, but I'm getting the PC version instead. So...yeah. It's still awesome, just *marginally* less so.
