San Rafael is an affluent suburb north of the Golden Gate Bridge, where the sun shines even when San Francisco is draped in fog. But in the past few years, the dot-com blitz's downward spiral has sent a lot of the technology companies in the area packing—either downsized or gone belly up—leaving the traffic a little thinner and many of the offices along the freeway empty. Not so for Telltale Games, who just moved to a bigger office down the street from their original location. They'd been in this office less than a week when Adventure Gamers' server admin Doug Tabacco and I took a drive up to see the new space. We located their name in the building directory—they'd slapped a sticker with their logo over the name of the previous tenant—and made our way up to the second floor.
