A new clue about Season 3?

[Cyrus7]

Today Telltale posted that image on Twitter: http://twitpic.com/tz0al

I can see Max's ear at the bottom of it, so I guess it is linked with Season 3. Can anyone guess what could THAT THING be?

[The Highway]

Can you describe it? I'm on my iPod downloading som:se so vrythngs a bit slow right now, let alone opening an image.

[Cyrus7]

It's really very strange and hard to describe.

[thesporkman]

It's a big pile of multicolored human lips with a cherry red nose.


...What?

Don't try to psychoanalyze me based on this.

[Maxilyah]

Interesting! Concept art, maybe? Cover art? Who knows?

[Lena_P]

I think it's a bunch of dyed carrots with a Christmas ornament floating in front of them in a sea of pure consciousness.

[Ashton]

I think max is carrying in the laundry...

What? Every else was saying goofy things, someon had to be the voice of reason! :D

[GinnyN]

For some reason I think is a neck or a chin. The two red ones looks like lips to me.

[Secret Fawful]

Someone tell me why everyone on there is saying it's from Maniac Mansion.

[thesporkman]

It's a giant spool of various colored tentacles!

[Harukuro]

It's a Christmas tree...FROM HELL!! Either that or its last years Christmas pudding. Now the real question is which one is more terrifying?

[Ashton]

Wishful Thinking?

The mystery is solved thanks to Mixnmojo! Check out this: http://www.telltalegames.com/images/newsletter/volEXiss10/dec-holiday-header-samandmax.jpg

Nifty, but why oh why didn't I get that email.

[Cyrus7]

Neither did I.

[Randulf]

A fat cockroach and a space gorilla?

[Shwoo]

Aw, Sam is so cute as a Christmas tree.

I haven't got the email yet either.

[Cyrus7]

Cockroach? Reminded me of Insecticide...

[lecharles]

"a power mad gorrilla pitted against a canine detective and a bunny with psychic powers"
i'm excited

[Falanca]

I loved the way the narrator says the word "power" more like "paaa'", to sound epic.

[Icedhope]

For some reason the audio when displayed on Firefox doesn't play.

[puzzlebox]

Looks like our space gorilla has been taking fashion tips from Amenpopoly.

I think the mer...thing wears it better. :)

Firefox seems to not have enough paah. :p

You need Flash to be installed to have audio, maybe it’s that, or an adblock thingy.
Works ok on Firefox Mac, Safari Mac and Chrome Mac.

Anyway, I already love the giant Santa Cockroach who plays the piano. Yes, I admit, my favorite sequences in Season Two were « Did someone said Birthday ? » :D

[Lena_P]

I like that the cockroach is playing the piano with a hand and a foot. I think. It's hard to tell with cockroaches.

I love Steve's christmasy paintings each year

[Jake]

I love Steve's christmasy paintings each year

(and ones by Ryan Jones, like this one?)

[GinnyN]

I think he's getting confuse a little

[Icedhope]

I'm confused.

[Sausy Gibbon]

Has anyone noticed the thing Max is holding? What is it?

[Hero1]

(and ones by Ryan Jones, like this one?)

Oh wow..Ryan is doing some awesome work lately

[SHODANFreeman]

Has anyone noticed the thing Max is holding? What is it?

Some kind of nutcracker/toy soldier thingamajigger?

[lecharles]

Some kind of nutcracker/toy soldier thingamajigger?

i agree, it does look like some kind of toy soldier/nutcracker, but why is he holding a scalple?

[puzzlebox]

i agree, it does look like some kind of toy soldier/nutcracker, but why is he holding a scalple?

Because Max wouldn't play with anything unless it was pointy and dangerous.

[The Highway]

I think it's an armadillo

[Falanca]

It's a cockroach. Armadillos are mammals.

QFT! Lol (though it seems to go for Sam too, considering the opening to several S1 epps where they're playing with their guns...

little creepy, but I agree, looks better of the merperson

[Ribs]

Main page says 'They're coming. 2010.' -TTG

[Butterscotch-Biros]

Looks like some kind of pocket knife/magnifying glass/accessory kit.

[Thespis]

Looks like some kind of pocket knife/magnifying glass/accessory kit.

I'm pretty sure it's a nutcracker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutcracker) with its mouth open.

[Avistew]

I loved the way the narrator says the word "power" more like "paaa'", to sound epic.

I thought he was saying "part" because of that, and listened to it like 3 or 4 times and couldn't make sense out of it.
Then I went on the forum and someone wrote it down. I went back and listened, I still can't hear the word as "power" :S

Guys I just found something while replaying Culture Shock;
When you click on the Dumpster in the street Sam says:"I once hid in that dumpster to escape a rampaging gorilla!"and Max says:"I still don't know how she got out of the office.I was sure I locked the door"

Is that a reference to one of the comics? I haven't read all of them ...
Or it was an inspiration for the writers?
Maybe Season 3 is a Prequel to season 1 (that deals with hypnotising, or let's just say psychic-powers)?
it makes sense because it seems S3 has the same theme too ...
Or, it's just me making another crazy theory ... :D

[Shwoo]

I think it was just a throwaway joke. Like the Speed Pickle picture in the office.

[SRTie4k]

Apparently S&M creators really like gorilla-ish animals. The first games plot centered around finding a missing bigfoot.

I'm probably the only one on the forums that thinks that would be AWESOME!!!

[Bosco]

maybe Max got psychic powers because he is the only one that comprehends the "paah" of the mind.

"In all the Universe, the only "paah" beyond the mind's comprehension, is the "paah" to comprehend the "paah" of the mind.If anyone of us could unlock this terrible "paah", would we use it to explore the mysteries of the infinite, or would we use it to destroy???"


Max would definetly use it to destroy!!!

[Pantagruel's Friend]

I'm probably the only one on the forums that thinks that would be AWESOME!!!

I think it'd be rather cheap, given the popularity of movie prequels in recent years. Unfortunately, it wouldn't stop me from buying it - I'd be a little ashamed, though :)
