Life in Telltale Land
May 18th, 2006So, E3 really was quite the experience. I have a nice little writeup written about it, which should be going up on Adventure Gamers sometime in the nearish future. (EDIT: Ah, there it is! I’m on page two.) Since some of you reading this blog mentioned booth babes, I should mention that I ended up seeing much fewer of them than I had expected, meaning I only had a chance to smirk slightly rather than put myself in full-on raving feminist mode.
On said trip to E3, I also discovered that I could beat everyone on the Adventure Gamers staff at Tetris DS. And I don’t even own a Nintendo DS. (Yet.)
Anyway, I’m back (obviously), and I started working at Telltale this week, where we make your dreams come true in the form of episodic adventure games. Those of you familiar with the amateur adventure scene might be interested and/or amused to know that I sit across from Mark Darin of Pinhead Games, who also happened to write that Sam and Max comic strip generator I posted about last week. How awesome is that?
Even more awesome is the fact that today, I participated in a Sam and Max brainstorming session with Dave Grossman and Brendan Q. Ferguson. Now THAT was tons of fun. I’ll let you all know whether any of my suggestions ever make it into a final game.
Oh, and before I forget, someone put up another very, very nice review of TGTTPOACS. Check it out!

How awesome is that?
On a scale from 1 to 10, I say “pizza”.

Really? Not “quiche”?

Nah. I could stretch to “pie”, though. Possibly even including broccoli.
