The Mole, The Mob, The Meatball stuff appears!

[tabacco]

Hey, there's now stuff to see at http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax/meatball for the curious :)

[jp-30]

What the!?

Is that a Whack-a-Rat game I spy... :D

[Astro Gnocci]

is that a poker table ?
ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO PLAY IT ???

[Maratanos]

Something must have gone terribly wrong when Sam & Max are the only people Sybil can trust... :eek:

[pheeph]

is that Boris from Telltale Texas Hold'em?

[Maratanos]

Say, when is the Overview going to come, anyway?

[Hero1]

You know ventriliquist David Strassman has a character in his show called Ted E. Bear .. I hope we get to play whack da rat! :D

[Emily]

Say, when is the Overview going to come, anyway?

You mean like this one?

The commissioner is looking into an underground operation at the Ted E. Bear Mafia-Free Playland and Casino, but the mole he sent in has suddenly gone quiet. To find the mole, Sam & Max must infiltrate the operation and become members of the Toy Mafia themselves.

EDIT: Oh hey, you meant the Sam & Max overview. Heh. Uh, soon. Possibly even before Season 1 ends. :p

[xChri5x]

How many more new locations are going to be in this one?
Are we gonna have any episodes this season where they go to farther off places?

[Emily]

How many more new locations are going to be in this one?

Not telling. :p

Are we gonna have any episodes this season where they go to farther off places?

Yes. Each episode takes them a little farther away from the neighborhood...

[ShaggE]

I love the swedish massage joke lol

[Mel]

I've only looked at the screenshots but those big bear heads are creeping me out and making me laugh at the same time. :p

[ThomasMink]

Wonder if they talk in the stereotypical gangster style...

"Gimme the dough, see? Myah"
"Should I rough him up a bit, boss?"
"Myah, good idear, Mugsy"
"Gee! Thanks, boss!"
"Myah, but don't be gettin no more good idears"
"Ok, boss"
"Myah, see? Myah, myah"

:)

[Hero1]

I've only looked at the screenshots but those big bear heads are creeping me out and making me laugh at the same time. :p

I love it..thats the kind of crazy stuff I expect to see in Sam & Max. :)

[Zomantic]

...Amazing...

[NHJ BV]

Looks great. I can't wait to take on the Toy Mafia :cool:

[Rasher]

Awsome! For some reason those bears freak me out.

*checks Swatch Time* How many beats is it unitl the 7th anyway?

[Guybrush_Threepwood]

Yeeeeah!!!!!!!!! Wack-a-rat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Diduz]

I hope the guy in the screenshot is Boris Krinkle, he was my favorite character from Telltale's Texas Hold'em! Way to go, original Telltale properties! :D

[fajerkaos]

If Sybil have freaked out like that, it will be fun to see hows bosco's taking it... :D

[Harald B]

For those who haven't noticed yet, Adventure Gamers is carrying the same screenshots but larger (http://www.adventuregamers.com/screenshot.php?id=6381&article=0). Seems like some people are enjoying wearing multiple hats..:)
And now that were on that topic, does that fake mustache mean we'll hear Boris trying to talk with a british accent?:D

[Astro Gnocci]

hey, actually this looks more like a black jack table...
i guess we can cheat anyway ^^

[Astro Gnocci]

By the way, i don't know if it's the site or my comp that are wrong, or if i'm just to dumb, but i can't figure out how to watch the video...

[Harald B]

By the way, i don't know if it's the site or my comp that are wrong, or if i'm just to dumb, but i can't figure out how to watch the video...Simple: you click the picture of Sybil and the mug, then click the play button (either the big one or the small one). I'm watching it myself right now so if that doesn't work for you I'm afraid there's something wrong on your end.

[Astro Gnocci]

well, when i click on the picture nothing happens... and below, apart from the machinima video, not a single pic loads... Weird, never did this before

[Welshy]

well, when i click on the picture nothing happens... and below, apart from the machinima video, not a single pic loads... Weird, never did this before

what are you using, internet explorer, firefox etc?

[Astro Gnocci]

firefox, let me try with internet explorer (never think of it)

[tabacco]

Ordinarily, I'd say you were having a problem with the javascript for the video player popup, but if you can't view the machinima either, then I'm not sure, because that's just plain flash. Are you maybe running flashblock or something that would mess with web content?

[Astro Gnocci]

ok, it works on i.e... thanks ^^

oh, and doug, whan i said "apart from the machinima video", i meant it was the only thing that was displayed. But now it works, so don't bother with it ^^

[ShaggE]

Good to see that Bosco's bowler is being put to good use in episode 3 btw :P

[numble]

Spoilers from recent Action Trip interview with Dave Grossman (http://www.actiontrip.com/features/sammaxseason1.phtml):

In episode three we'll be simulating the ins and outs of that sport of kings: Indian Head Poker. Also, you'll get to whack some rats, which should please the Sam & Max faithful. I suppose that's more retro than innovative, but there is a slight twist on it that's fun.

[fhqwhgads]

Spoilers from recent Action Trip interview with Dave Grossman (http://www.actiontrip.com/features/sammaxseason1.phtml):

I bet it should rather be called whack the Jimmy!

[Derwin]

Sweet! It appears both Sam and Max will continue to star in this series! They can be seen in the gameplay video and screenshots. Crossing my fingers that they appear in the remaining episodes as well!

[Jake]

"Next time on Sam & Max" is up on the The Mole, The Mob, and the Meatball page (http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax/meatball).

As usual, if you want to stay spoiler free, don't watch the videos :)

[JK1985]

Hehehe... Nice clip! Looking forward for this episode!

[Astro Gnocci]

hell, i'm not sure cause i can't watch it with the sound on right now...
BUT IS BOSCO DISGUISING AS A FRENCH THIS TIME ???? :D :D :D

[fajerkaos]

IS BOSCO DISGUISING AS A FRENCH THIS TIME ???? :D :D :D

Maybe :D

And is it just me, or did the voise actors seems to be even better... More enthusiastic this time, if you know what i mean?

[Astro Gnocci]

oh, i can't wait to hear him sayin ventrebleu or any other words you cowboys think we use...
And then Max tellin somethin about frog legs !

[Zeek]

"I can do this all day.. AND I INTEND TO!" :D

I hope that's the indication of the start of the conversation loop, because that's a great line.

Now what the heck does it mean to "lean" on someone?

[Jake]

And is it just me, or did the voise actors seems to be even better... More enthusiastic this time, if you know what i mean?

It might just be you, since episodes 2 and 3 were recorded at the same time, but I think the voice actors are definitely settling into their roles well.

[ShaggE]

I'd love to see the voice actors in action, have you guys ever thought about taping a recording session for a special feature or something?

[Mishakun]

You know... the three things you have to do for the toy mafia seems a bit inspired to the three trials in MI.

[ATMachine]

Is that Nick Tate as the mustachioed card shark? I'm getting flashbacks to EMI.

[Zeek]

Everyone says it's Boris Krinkle from Telltale Texas Hold 'em.
