    Wait you can get the entire TOMI series for free for one day only? Or just the first episode?
     
    If it is the entire TOMI series then I'm a little pissed, I actually paid for the whole series :(

    Sorry about the 17th, I was so excited about the prospect of a free good game I put the wrong date. It starts from 12:01 AM GMT   Sep 19th. So tomorrow night.

    Holy shit.  That's crazy. 
     
    Pretty smart idea on their part though. People play Ep 1 for free.... they like it and they buy the whole pack, which if I do like Ep. 1 I may do that. 
     
    Is "play like a pirate" suppose to be referencing people pirating games which is essentially getting it for free?

    Dood...this makes Telltale super awesome!  Great way to get people into their episodic content, and an AMAZING way to open up new players to the traditional adventure game genre.  =  D  Kudos to them!

    This is great. This is exactly how you prevent piracy. 
     I'm serious. Show the customer that you take them seriously and that you, as a developer, are awesome, and people WILL be inclined to support you where they might not have before. 
    This will sell more copies of future episodes than any DRM or Anti-piracy code ever would.
     
    Sadly, this game will never run on my EEE PC.

    Figured this was worth a bump. It's available for another 20-ish hours from the time of this posting.

    It's just the first episode and ONLY for Saturday.
    Plus, if you already bought the whole series you can get a code to download any one of their other games for free  :)
     
    I went with Wallace & Grommit episode 1.
     
    And again, I have to strongly recommend everyone try the game out.  It's a great continuation of the series and still very funny if you've never played any of the older ones.

    I already bought the series so I got an episode of Wallace & Gromit free instead because that's the only series of telltale games I haven't played.

    I actually ended up beating it last night, fun first episode I thought. I think I'm more inclined to spend $5 on the special edition since I never played the original.
