What is your favorite part of Cow Race?
Just curious to hear from any of the Telltale people who are hanging out what your favorite part of The Great Cow Race is (either to play, or to work on). (And to hear it from players too, of course!)

no spoilers I've not finished it yet.
Although I especially liked the opeing line. Nice little dig at the fans I laughed out loud when the characters said "It was fun but too short" or words to that effect

I laughed too when I heard that line.

The magnetic poetry-esque puzzle was my favourite. I had tons of fun purposely putting in the wrong words. "Your teeth are white as Moby Dick" had me in stitches.
I loved the end credits as well. One question, though: Spoiler: |

What I find fun is having Fone Bone read out a passage from Moby Dick to different characters to see what kind response the give. I really appreciate it when developers put in those little extra details, like they're rewarding the player for trying out different things.

I love the poetry puzzle as well. I think the mini-activity/puzzle/games all turned out quite well this time. It is hard to say what activities were the most satisfying to play since I was so involved in making the game and saw things in all their different stages of completion. But I think I am very pleased with the Spoiler:, with how that turned out. I think the mood is very effective. Oh and I like the Spoiler:. In fact, I think I really enjoy the dialog interactions between the characters. I still chuckle at some of the lines. |

I always find the Fone/Thorn sections of great interest.

Really, though, I think it's awesome that the game has all this stuff you can go back and try. |

There is also an optional scene in the tavern depending on the order in which you finish the cousin's tasks.

Yeah, The Great Cow Race is certainly more open-ended.

I liked working on the [already spoiled] poetry puzzle, that was enjoyable, and writing the little fiddly bits, like where Phoney talks to the cow outside the tavern. I also love the stuff that plays during the credits, which Heather wrote and which makes me laugh.

Only if Heather owns a time machine.
Which, come to think of it, maybe she does.... |
