I haven't even played the first one yet....

Same here, but I'll consider it someday.  I always enjoyed the Strong Bad games they made...

Monkey Island is far better than Strong Bad in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to this one. I hope this series does well enough to get a second season.

This episode seemed so much shorter and smaller than the first two.  Very little exploration, lots of dialogue tree puzzles.  Hopefully next episode has a little more for my 1000 points

You think so?  Episode 3 is probably my favorite of the series thus far, as it really returns to that "Adventure game" format of solving increasingly absurd puzzles.  And by keeping the game in a confined space, we don't have the problem of Episodes 1 and 2 where you're constantly "traveling" on an overworld map or hunting around in labyrinthian jungles.  Plus, there's Murray and Morgan!  :)

I'm looking forward to playing Episode 4 tomorrow, as that has looked the most interesting of the episodes since the series was announced.
