Holy-Aunt-Betty-In-A-Rented-Hamster-Suit!

For those of you who are Sam and Max fans from either the old Lucas Arts PC game, the cartoon series or the old comic, here is a fun treat.
There is a new Sam and Max PC game that is available! (sounds of S&M fans rejoicing) What’s unique about this game is that it is being released overtime in episodes like a cartoon series. Season one has already been released and they’re already into season two! Check out the official website of Tell Tale Games.
The really cool part of this whole thing for me is that Steve Purcell (the creator of S&M) is creating a new S&M comic! This sort of "graphic novel" is being release entirely online in pieces kind of like the game. Steve told me when I met him at the Comic Con in San Diego, that once he has completed the comic he will publish it with a combined republication of the original comics. I can’t wait! If you want to read the comic just click here.
Steve also told me that the animated series will eventually be released on DVD at some point in either the fall or the spring. If you want to check out the series it can be viewed for free at GameTap (To view it on their site, click "Animation" up in the top left, then click "Sam & Max Animated Series," ).
Sam: (reading a Greek restaurant sign) "No shirt, no shoes, no souvlaki." HA HA That’s funny!
Max: At least pants are optional.

THE SYSTEM IS DOWN THE SYSTEM IS DOWN

Hey guys, bad news.

Monday, Mom turned her TV on and nothing happened. She's sure it's not our fault because she was watching tv after we all left Sunday night, but it means no tv for this Sunday. If I can swipe the projector from work this weekend, we can still game-on, and with an even bigger screen, but otherwise we migh thave to figure out an alternative activity and/or meeting place.

I'll keep you all posted re: equipment.

Oh, and I think it's Klutch's turn to pay for 'za.

Comic COOOONNNN!!!!

Hey guys!
I went to Comic Con '07 last weekend in San Diego and guess who I bumped into?I asked someone at The Behemoth stand about an update on Castle Crashers. They still don't have set release date nor do they know if it will be released on a Nintendo game system. At this point it will be released on the X-Box.
We also got some pics of this great character statue of Mario!Aside from video game stuff, I visited the great Doug TenNapel and got a signed copy of his lastest book Black Cherry.You guys are more then welcome to borrow it.
