Ice Station Santa is here!
Posted by emily November 9, 2007
Christmas came early with Sam & Max: Season Two! The premiere episode, Ice Station Santa, is now available.


If you're looking to buy, head over to the Sam & Max page to select from the individual episode (a bargain at $8.95!) or the full, five-episode season (only $34.95, and almost $10 cheaper than buying the episodes individually!).

The reviews are rolling in, and they've been great so far. Here are a few of the highlights. (Spoiler warning - avoid if you don't want parts of the game revealed to you!)
So what are you waiting for? Buy it!

Is there going to be a upgrade if you buy an episode and you want to buy the season.

There will be an upgrade offer in the near future, so if you want to just buy episode one right now and get the season later, that's cool.

Just bought the season. Unfortunately, I'm still at work, so I won't be able to play for at least 5 more hours. And I have a gametap account, but I love you guys (and the DVD at the end of the season) too much to not buy the season directly from you as well. Keep up the good work

Oh yeah, you guys kick butt.

A couple of questions though. 1. I'm away from my home computer for the weekend. How does the serial system actually work, meaning can I or can't I download the game now for computer 1 and then continue playing moving my purchase to computer 2? (ooo, I'd love to start playing right away!)

2. The $35 bundle doesn't mention anything about a goodie DVD. I suspect you're going to send us subscribers one again automatically after S5, no?

Thanks for the answers, though it's not perhaps the appropriate forum. Hmmm. Perhaps I should get myself an account.

On to Ice Station Santa it is.

I have a GameTap account as well, but like t7bros above, I can't jip you guys out of money for something I think has been the best gaming experience over the last year or so. Consider it earned!

Have you fixed the problem where you had to redownload the game if you got the demo and then bought the whole season?
I ask because I'm currently downloading the demo in the hopes that I'll be able to convince my dad to let me get the whole season later today.
Comment by TrogLlama
November 9, 2007, 2:14 pm
We changed the activation system so it doesn't matter where you get it, you won't need to redownload after you buy it. So downloading the demo and then purchasing it later through the store is not a problem. It's also fine to unlock the game on multiple computers.

The DVD deal is exactly the same this year as it was last year, so yeah, if you buy the season you can choose to get that later on.

I just played the demo. I didn't reach the end of it, but I was kind of surprised at how far it let me go.
Did you change it so that the demo just bars progress at a certain point instead of stopping once you get far enough?
Comment by TrogLlama

Time to get my money from the only place I felt safe putting it to (psst.. it's the Internet) and hand it to you then.

Love what you're doing. Almost feel like singing the Happy Happy, Joy Joy song.
Hugs and high fives to everyone at the office.

I am NOT happy with the OCModShop review. They misconstrue demon possession as hypnosis, claiming that the thematic element is the same from Season 1. :(

Oh, and it also gives complete solution spoilers for the opening puzzle.

At the end did they sand santa to Satan in the goo box?

Wait, five episode season? WHAT HAPPENED TO SIX????!?!?!?!?
Comment by The Duckmeister
November 10, 2007, 3:04 pm
Season 2 is 5 episodes instead of 6.
The episodes are going to be longer, though, so it's about the same overall.
Comment by TrogLlama
November 10, 2007, 3:11 pm
ah, i just finished it, and i gotta say awesome work, it really was alot longer then most past episodes and the puzzles were a harder as well. And the story was top notch, really in depth to the games credit. The humor was classic Sam and Max, aka PERFECT!. seriously fantastic work telltale! overall ***** 5 out of 5 STARS!
Comment by kgoodies
November 10, 2007, 5:31 pm
did you notice the memory for season 2 episode one was 120mb rather than 65mb for each of the season 1 episodes.!! great lovely perfect. if they do that to all the season 2 episodes, its like getting 10 season one episodes. think about it episode 201 was long. :) and WHY IS SANTA SENT TO SATAN AT THE END HE IS SANTA AFTER ALL..
Comment by jared25
November 10, 2007, 8:23 pm
Because he's possessed by a demon.

I recommended the demo on my weblog, and a friend of mine indicated that the demo is actually copy protected:

"The demo would not run because the copy protection didn’t like the “top” program I ran. It insisted that I reboot and not run such dangerous software again."

If this is true, guys, that's, er, completely ridiculous. What's the story here?

I absolutely loved episode 201 and will sit huddled next to my computer for months to come until January when I can get the next episode of this most awesome season 2. The humor in episode 201 reminded me a lot of the old Sam and Max, more so than season one, they're getting their edge back YAY :D
Comment by Threepwood42
November 11, 2007, 7:05 pm
The demo is also the unlockable full real game, which is why it's copy protected.
Comment by tabacco
November 11, 2007, 7:07 pm
I thought it was cute when Max shouted "Ho, ho, ho....oh God! I'm on FIRE!" when he and Sam fell into the chimney. I really love this game! If only my parents will let me buy it. *sighs*

I loved it when I made Sam toss snowballs at the Soda Poppers. However, if you were to throw something else at the Soda Poppers, what will it be?

I can't figure out the demon song. When I putted 'frequent hints' max was mumbling something about that crate with gelaoutins gloo and Flint got away.

hey ,skull11! How did you release the demon?
Comment by SnakeBoxer5
November 14, 2007, 12:18 pm
The CD for season one did not have any activation or copy protection, didn't it? (I bought it, but have not played season 1 again yet. I plan to keep this dvd forever and play it on vmware or emulators in 5 years :-) )
That was an excellent consideration for online activation and this stuff!

Will it be the same for season 2?

singing thefriendly demon song
Comment by JediMan
November 14, 2007, 3:26 pm
you have to sing the song right to relase the demon
Comment by JediMan
November 14, 2007, 3:28 pm
i dunno skull 11 i thought it was still cool after you released the demon, the whole " a christmas carol" knock off was a much welcome change off pace for sam and max with it weaving in and out of past and possible future games.
Comment by kgoodies
November 14, 2007, 4:18 pm
yessssssssssssss,i know skull11 but what is the combination for that song?
Comment by SnakeBoxer5

It has copy protection. The disc needs to be in the drive when you play. It doesn't have online activation though.

Comment by SnakeBoxer5
November 16, 2007, 4:20 am
you have the first two lines of the song...
don't change them, try to make a combination out of the 8 remaining lines, there's only 16 combinations possible :)

November 16, 2007, 1:32 pm
Hey Telltale people:
You should give a job or a prize to the creator of this video ITS FANTASTIC AND VERY ORIGINAL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z2yuBr1q3k

Also you should tell the creator of Sam and Max to continue our free comic online that has won at the comic contest.

Thank you
