Wolfe and Dustin love just one thing. 1: Enjoying a cool one at the bar after a hard day's work, 2: expanding our professional networks in satisfying, fulfilling ways, and 3: talking about Homestar Runner. Now, we get to do that third thing. So, join us as we FINALLY get to talk about Homestar Ruiner, the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.

Welcome vamps and tramps to this week's episode of Telling the Tale. We've come a long way since we covered Culture Shock three months or so ago, but check it: we're zombies. We've been zombies the whole time. Did we just blow your gourd? I know, right!? It's wild! Dustin and Wolfe (more like "were"wolfe, am I right?) have just been shambling around, sucking brain and feeling no pain. We haven't been shuffling on the mortal coil for a fat minute.

Is that spooky? Is that a scary thing to think about? I bet it is, you lifer [editor's note: "lifer" is a highly derogatory term zombies use for the living. we apologize for its cavalier use in this podcast description]. I bet your timbers are thoroughly shook. Well, if you do have the constitution to read this far into this spooky summary, maybe, JUST MAYBE, you'll have the guts to listen to this episode, where we talk about the third episode of Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space, Night of the Raving Dead!

Hmm! Interesting! This is it? This is the episode? Huh! Neat! Well, is it the whole... it is? Cool, I think. It's... hmm! on Telling the Tale.

Wolfe and Dustin, after their poker and Bone vacation, are now eager to jump back into Sam & Max. 'Tis the season, you might say. Because it's the Christmas episode! Sam & Max has a Christmas episode, we love these. How will Sam & Max's second season (also known as "Beyond Time and Space") fair against the highs of season one? We'll take a look at its first episode, Ice Station Santa, right here, right now, on Telling the Tale.

And subscribe to the feed for our episode where we'll return to the world of Sam & Max with the first episode of their second season with Telltale: Ice Station Santa!

While Sam & Max is where Telltale Games first acquired its fame within the industry, it was not their first attempt at the adventure game genre. That would be Bone. On this episode of Telling the Tale, Wolfe and Dustin will be covering Bone: Out from Boneville, the first of Telltale's two Bone game episodes. Technically these aren't episodes? They were marketed as their own full games. But they're clearly episode-length. Also technically, it's "Bone... Out from Boneville" with a big space after the word "Bone." But it's WAY more fun to say "bone out from boneville" as if "boning out" is a cool skateboarding trick and a "boneville" is a cool skateboarding ramp. Always go with what sounds good over what is technically correct. That's writing 101.

And subscribe to the feed for our episode on this game's only released sequel, Bone: The Great Cow Race!

Here on Telling the Tale, we're not necessarily covering all of Telltale's work in release order. We want to go roughly chronologically (i.e. starting with mostly older things and graduating to mostly later things), but we've reserved the right to hop around back and forth. This, then, is a very special episode as we are covering Telltale's very first game, Telltale Texas Hold'em. It's about poker! It is so very much about poker. It's not about very many other things! Do we, two humble gamespeople who don't know much about poker, have the ability to record a full hour podcast about poker? There's only one way to find out!
