Episode Game Making Telltale Games turns 5 Years

Telltale Games turns 5 years. And they announced the celebration in their blog:

Five years ago around this time, Telltale's fearless co-founders Kevin Bruner and Dan Connors set up shop with a dream of creating a brand new type of game. They dreamed of games that focus on story and characters, instead of shooting and fighting. Games that come out once a month instead of once every four years. Games that keep you hungry for more, yet don't make you wait *too* long to find out what happens next. You know... Telltale Games.


If you like me, you've played the adventure games like Monkey Island, Grim Fandango and such. But have you played the new Sam & Max Adventure games already? You know the episode games Telltale is putting out, for 2 seasons = 10 games already, all super funny if you ask me. What about Wallace & Gromit adventure that came out? If you haven't you should, and now you can get $5 off the store prices.

In all seriousness, I'm putting this out because they asked me to and gave me "$5 off coupon" to boot. But I do love those games, so I'm happy to do it :)

So go to the Telltale website and check the games out if have missed them somehow.

If you happen to get interested and buy something, use this Coupon Code to get $5 off any purchase: WTD-3NF-8X6-29M

Go check out the Telltale website for Sam & Max Seasons 1 and 2, and the Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures.

Wasting time is hard! You have to think about what to do and feel bad about avoiding whatever you want to avoid by wasting time. Well, I wasted time by writing this blog post and playing all these cool and totally meaningless games while at it. Mission accomplished, I wasted several hours :) You can too..
