Homestar Ruiner is out now!

Homestar Ruiner, the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, is available to purchase today. The PC version is available now worldwide, and can be purchased at Telltale's site.

US Wii owners can buy the Wiiware version from the Wii Shop Channel today. The European Wiiware release will be happening this Friday.

I have played through the game and absolutely love it. I'll post my review of the game soon. Be sure to check out the preview for the next game, Strong Badia the Free, from the menu of Homestar Ruiner (it also plays automatically after you beat the game). It's brilliant.

Wallace & Gromit Cinematic Teaser and other goodies

Telltale's Wallace & Gromit page has been updated with the fantastic cinematic teaser trailer from Comic Con so we can all have a chance to watch it now.

There are also renders, screenshots, concept art, and answers to frequently asked questions about the series.

I'm really looking forward to this one. Wallace & Gromit seem perfectly suited towards episodic gaming.

Wallace & Gromit and Strong Badia the Free

Telltale has announced their mystery game: Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures, based on UK based Aardman Animation's Wallace & Gromit claymation short cartoons and movie.

In other news, although the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Homestar Ruiner, isn't out yet, IGN has a preview of the second episode from Telltale's presentation at Comic Con. The episode is called Strong Badia the Free, and without spoiling too much, has a plot that involves Strong Bad in a struggle against the King of Town.

On the subject of this site, as you can tell, I have decided to do something to stand Telltale Fan out from the crowd a bit. I don't have the inclination to do frequent news. The International House of Mojo and Telltale's own blog are better sources for that stuff. Instead, I'll just be covering the big stuff, and each post will have a weird fan image created by me. :)

I'll also probably have some more fan stuff created by myself up at a later time. I have a lot of ideas, and a lot of enthusiasm for Telltale, so I'm sure I'll have a lot of neat stuff up here at some point. :D

WiiWare World interviews Mark Darin about Strong Bad

Dráscula is Now Free With ScummVM

Dráscula isn't a Telltale game (or a game by the people who work there), but it's sort of relevant because it now can be downloaded completely for free and played in ScummVM. ScummVM was originally created to play the SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) games by LucasArts (Maniac Mansion to The Curse of Monkey Island), and many of the people working at Telltale now made those SCUMM games.

So, this post IS relevant in a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon kind of way. :) Plus, I can't help but promote a previously commercial but now freeware adventure game. :D
