Thanks to Next Generation (http://www.next-gen.biz) for the news (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2370&Itemid=2).

Telltale games, the company behind the much-anticipated follow-up to the PC adventure game Sam & Max, has secured an additional $825,000 in funding.

The new funding comes in the form of a convertible bridge note, and brings Telltale's total seed funding to $1.4 million. The company plans to use the funding to expand its technology development, marketing and investment efforts.

Telltale CEO Dan Connors said, "With our first titles based on Jeff Smith's popular comic books [Bone], Telltale is releasing accessible, innovative, interactive stories for the masses. This expansion funding gives us the ability to move even more aggressively in key areas of our business and further accelerate our company's strategy and growth."
Sweet! Now this is how people should be investing, not in Gizmondo or Phantom.

LOL! Grab a copy of Photoshop, cobble together a new console design, call it something like The Penguin, write a HUGE news piece about it here, sticky the news piece and click it all the damn time so that it goes to the top of the GameTab list, and funding shall be yours. In abundance.

Sam: OOOOOH, does this mean we get to kick some puffy, white, mad scientist's butt?
Max: Can't think of a reason not to.

Telltale just laid off one of my friends, too. $#@!@!!

But I'm still looking forward to Sam and Max 2.
