Strong Bad game gets delayed until July

To us laymen, game design doesn't seem terribly hard. Take, for example, Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People. It's being made by Telltale, which has already made an episodic humor game. Shouldn't it then be a simple matter of hitting Ctrl+F, finding all the "Sam and Max"'s and replacing them with "Strong Bad"s? Apparently, even this rudimentary task has proved too much for Telltale, as it has announced that the game's release has been pushed from its original window (June) into next month.The company said that it needed the extra time to "polish," which we imagine involves removing the various chipsets and memory unit boards the game is running on and buffing them with Endust and an old T-shirt to a brilliant sheen. Why does that take so long? Why is it even necessary? We just don't know.

I really want this game. I hope the delay makes a better game.
Off-topic: Can someone with TV experience can help me? I have a question about a TV I saw.

Good lord, that picture is NOT how I wanted to start my day.

*shakes head* that's harsh, Mr. McElroy. Now, excuse me while I go watch the latest "Teen Girl Squad!" for the umpteenth time...

It's not what you think it is. But it is hilarious.

Twenty bucks says this decision was made by Nintendo. That or Telltale has no idea when this game is actually going to be released by Nintendo. Either way I blame Nintendo.

Wow, what a poorly developed "sense of humor"

Darn! I was really anticipating it coming out on the 16th (Guessed release date from the Mii Contest) or so. Speaking of which, I wonder if the Mii contest is still underway?

Good. That game looks like stupid crap with a dumb name. Plus, if you read the interview in Nintendo Power, the guy is a complete douche.
