When I was a kid... don't you just hate it when blog posts start like this? You just know that it's going to be a fucking long thing about some guy's childhood that meanders for a long time, going on about his mum and dad and how they took him to see Bongo the Clown and had his first hot dog, or some shit like that. And that out of nowhere, it ties back to whatever thing the writer wanted to talk about in the first place, like Telltale's got a new Back to the Future trailer which can be found below.

Yes, when I was a kid I loved Back to the Future. I still have a soft-spot for it. Pre-Parkinson's Marty McFly was the right combination of naive and relatable, and yet tough on the inside. And boy, was Doc the coolest madman scientist I'd ever seen in my life.
And the ability to time-travel just blew my mind. The adventures they had were beyond anything for a kid's imagination and set the stage for some pretty epic imaginings of my own from then on.
So when Telltale of new Monkey Island and Sam & Max reboots fame announced they were doing a Back to the Future adventure game, I had a nagging wariness in the back of my mind that this may not be good. How on earth would they do something like that? It hurt my head just thinking about it so I watched the trailer and was thankfully proven wrong.
IT LOOKS REALLY COOL and the music is so dead-on with the original trilogy's wackiness. It makes me want to watch all of the movies over again. And then play this game and save Doc. Because Doc should never be captured.
I wonder who does the voices?
