Sam Max Team Fortress 2

[OhMan]

Hey as you may know Team Fortress 2 held a promotion for Sam & Max and anyone who pre-ordered got limited edition Weapons and a Hat on Team Fortress 2.

I am a Team Fortress 2 player myself, and trading has now been released. I was wondering if anyone here has TF2 and doesn't want their weapons and hat, and would mind trading them to me? I am a collector and I really like trying to get all the items in any particular game!

You can contact me on Steam, my SteamID is: callum24.

This is not a troll, just a sincere request for those who don't care about having TF2 items and would like to help out a stranger.

Thanks for your time,
OhMan.

[OhMan]

Sorry, not pre-order, but within the first week of release.

[RAnthonyMahan]

I'm not sure if the guns can be traded or not. I know Max's Severed Head can.

I don't play TF2 on the PC/Mac, sadly (though I want to). I have to settle for the never-updated 360 version. Hope you manage to get the Sam and Max items, though!

[OhMan]

Nah they can be traded. Thanks anyway though.

[RingmasterJ5]

Did you only join the TTG Forums to get these items? :confused::mad:

[OhMan]

I don't play any Telltale games.

[RingmasterJ5]

I don't play any Telltale games.

:mad::mad::mad:

I kindly ask you to leave.

[The Gentleman]

Yeah, if you have no intention of buying the games before hand, we have no reason to give you the items.

[jaden551]

He should ask his friends not random strangers.

[der_ketzer]

Yeah, if you have no intention of buying the games before hand, we have no reason to give you the items.

especially since there are enough users here alrteady that woul like to get the items AND bought the season.

[RAnthonyMahan]

I don't play any Telltale games.

Wow. Uh...

I hope I'm not coming off as mean or anything, but if you have no interest at all in Telltale, it might not be the wisest idea to join their forums. Valve put the Sam and Max items in TF2 to begin with in hopes that it would bring more attention to Telltale's own games (since, frankly, they need all the exposure they can get). If you haven't played Sam and Max, have no intention to play it, and only want the hat and guns because you're one of those people who wants to have every item for the sake of having it...well, it kind of makes me wish you couldn't trade the promotional items. =/

Again, I'm not trying to be rude, but this isn't the place to go asking for TF2 trading. If it's that important you might want to ask on the Steam forums.

[Ashton]

What _were_ the S+M items? I only found out about this deal like a week ago so obviously I didn't get in on it...

And While I'm not one with any authority, I do agree with everyone else. If you have no intention of buying any TTG products, please ask on the STEAM forums, not here.

oh that sucks balls... I'd _LOVE_ to plug enemies with Max's Luger... (What's the in-game bullet-count on it btw?) Unfortunately, a physical, boxed, Extras DVD (and supporting TTG directly) means more than a virtual Luger, so I bought from TTG directly. (now if they'd send me a *REAL* Luger..... *evil grin* ;))

[jaden551]

I just realised, I never used my code.

[Ashton]

I just realised, I never used my code.

Hey, if you dont want it...... ;) (lol)

[RingmasterJ5]

I don't think the code is useable anymore, but if it is, I take the hat and you get the guns?

I want these too, and I actually own telltale games. Lol.

[Ashton]

For anyone curious, The codes only work for their original owner (because they're tied to the S+M S3 software)

[RAnthonyMahan]

I want these too, and I actually own telltale games. Lol.

Luckily for you, Valve recently introduced item trading, so if you can find someone else with the Sam and Max items...

Be careful, though. Apparently the trading system wasn't supposed to let you trade promotional items, and Valve is planning to fix the fact that you can. I'd hurry.

[SHODANFreeman]

I don't play any Telltale games.

Why would you even want useless cosmetic items whose sole purpose is showing off that you're a Sam and Max fan?

[RAnthonyMahan]

Why would you even want useless cosmetic items whose sole purpose is showing off that you're a Sam and Max fan?

Because there are a lot of people who compulsively try to collect every item in TF2, even when it has no effect on gameplay. Valve's aware of this fact and tries to take advantage of it as much as possible. Right now there's this deal where if you buy Left 4 Dead 2 by today you get a frying pan (which is just a reskin of the Soldier's Shovel/Demoman's Bottle, depending on who it's equipped with) and Ellis' Hat (which is...a hat).

What makes it hilarious is that, due to the Primeval Warrior/Grizzled Veteran/Soldier of Fortune/Mercenary medals, it's impossible to get every item.

[The Gentleman]

I played Sam & Max and TF2 before the hats. I felt cheated when I missed out on them. I just wish I could have them.

(Hint hint TTG ;))

[OhMan]

I came here to ask because I thought there might be people who played Sam & Max and had TF2 but didn't care about having TF2 items. Over on the TF2 forums, it is the other way around, people who play TF2 don't want to trade the items, due to their coveted status.

If you think I don't deserve the items because I don't play Sam & Max, then of course there is nothing I can do. Though I'm a collector, I don't go as far as to spend money on virtual items plus a game that I do not want to play. Everyone has different games they enjoy, and the games TellTale make just aren't my cup of tea.

So, if you have the items and refuse to give them to me because I don't play Telltale, then so be it, sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Yours sincerely,
OhMan.

[der_ketzer]

I don't think the code is useable anymore,
it should be.

[Epic Kiwi]

You'd probably have better luck hopping onto a few busy Achievement/Idle servers and asking around for someone looking to trade the Sam & Max stuff. Around here most people are way too attached to Sam & Max to even consider trading away the items (myself included).

[Ashton]

it should be.

As I said, it's usable but it ties S3 + TF2_items together as a bundle, so you cant get one without the other. (likely on purpose so people wouldn't sell the code for the items)

Ill be nice and....... What Im also not giving you the stuff, not because I dont think your not deserving(you so far are nice), but because I like my sam and max gear.
Also, at least you dont buy the games just for the hats. Those people are idiots.

[GuruGuru214]

It doesn't work that way. The code is just a Steam gift code for season 3. It'll add season 3 to your Steam account regardless of whether or not it was your Telltale account that generated the code. Telltale and Valve really put us on the honor system with that one, because anyone who preordered or bought in the first week from Telltale could (and still can) generate a code and give a second copy of the game away to a friend for free.

Also, for anyone who thinks it's too late, as long as you bought the game from Telltale before the end of the first week, you can still generate the code and add season 3 to Steam, and you'll still receive the Sam & Max items.

Ok... apparently there's some kind of code gennerator then...? (somone offered me "their code" and it said it was already used when I tried to redeem it)

QFT!

[GuruGuru214]

Ok... apparently there's some kind of code gennerator then...? (somone offered me "their code" and it said it was already used when I tried to redeem it)

http://www.telltalegames.com/tf2hats

If you click that link while signed into your Telltale account and you bought the game from Telltale before noon on April 26th, you get a code that can be redeemed for a copy of The Devil's Playhouse in Steam, and apparently Steam will recognize that the game was purchased during the promotional period and the TF2 items will be awarded.

It was basically the quickest fix Valve and Telltale could come up with for the hat snafu, and they put a lot of free copies of the game on the line to please some upset fans, putting us all on the honor system to not give away or sell our codes.

[OhMan]

Anyone willing to offer me a code? It would be much appreciated. For those who play TF2, I am willing to trade hats.

My friend, who plays Sam&Max games regularly, his name is sniperfire and he is on these forums, has all the episodes save this latest one. You could give the code to him, and then he would trade me the items.

Would anybody be kind enough to do that?

[jaden551]

Ok... apparently there's some kind of code gennerator then...? (somone offered me "their code" and it said it was already used when I tried to redeem it)

That WAS my code. I guess I had already gave it away without remembering. soz.

[Ashton]

And @ Jaden: it's ok, I'm not mad. Maybe they'll run the promotion again sometime and I'll get in on it then ^_^

[S@bre]

As GuruGuru noted, we have an honour agreement with Telltale on this: they gave customers from TTG the items if they didn't buy from Steam, if we used the code solely for us. Breaking that might make them less willing to extend stuff to the community in the future. The code does not merely give the TF2 items, it gives their entire game on Steam.

If you're going to get the items, go for it through the trading system, not through breach of trust with the developer.

(Hint hint TTG ;))

... Anyone who pre-ordered The Devil's Playhouse got the hats. So if you played the game "before the hats" you in fact "have the hats." Go here: http://www.telltalegames.com/tf2hats

[Ashton]

How much did the Pre-order cost? I paid $19.99 or $29.99 iirc for the whole season once it was completed.

[The Gentleman]

I bought it in roughly the third week. I feel left out.

I still find it odd that this was never mentioned in the announcement or on the page that gave out the codes. I had no idea that it would unlock the full games on steam until I used the code and saw The Penal Zone appear in my games list.. Luckily I had TF2, otherwise I would have given the code to a friend without a second thought, thinking it would only give them the free hats.

If I remember correctly, the request not to give out the codes to others was made in the forum thread where we were bemoaning not having the hats.

It was a limited time offer. You snooze, you lose. :(

Yes, but it was well after they'd linked to the /tf2hats page and I'd already used the code when they decided to mention it in that thread. :confused:

[The Gentleman]

It's called a budget. Look it up.

[SHODANFreeman]

It's called a budget. Look it up.

It's a bonus for being an early purchaser, if you don't want to miss out on early purchase bonuses, you have to buy early. It is the entire point of the bonus existing. They want sales sooner rather than later. It's just the way things are.

[The Gentleman]

I hate the way things are. I deserve those items more than a lot of people who didn't even TRY Sam & Max.

[Epic Kiwi]

You can still try looking around for someone trading the items. They'd be hard to find, but I've seen people offering them since the update.

[SillyStell]

Yeah I missed out on the hats. Sam and Max was seemingly following me, seeing the trailers on GT, a top ten of their best lines (from the animated series) on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses showed up and finally I take my daily visit to the TF2 blog and there it was again. Of course I didn't just want to buy TDPH straight away, no sir, I had to play ALL of the past series before it. I missed the hats when I finally finished them but I gained a great seires of games so I didn't really feel like I lost out :D

[redm]

I love my sam&max tf2 items and I'm never going to trade them ever

[RAnthonyMahan]

Maybe Valve and Telltale can make the Sam and Max items available again as a bonus for Poker Night at the Inventory? :D

[SHODANFreeman]

Possible, but I suspect there will be a different exclusive hat-like bonus for that one.

I really wish they'd tell us. I'm not really into poker sims, but if it means I get Max's Luger I'll sign up! ;)

[Epic Kiwi]

Of course! Just take the Demoman's Fro (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Demoman%27s_Fro), change the color, and make it twice as large!

[Ashton]

you know, as scary of an idea as that is... I can see TTG doing that...

[redm]

it should be Sams hat

[RAnthonyMahan]

it should be Sams hat

You may have known this already, but there are files for an unfinished Sam's Hat. (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Sam%27s_Hat) Presumably it was going to be included with the other Sam and Max items, but it never made it because Sam's hat has a very unique shape (it could only fit on his head), and Valve had trouble getting it to fit on each class.

Maybe they could do it right this time? Of course, it seems funny to give Sam's hat away for a game that doesn't have Sam in it...

True, but still...
Now I wonder if there will be a strong bad item, i could see the spy using strong bads mask as a micellanious item.

[Hatley]

Guys, if you are NOT too attached to your Sam & Max items, you can get some pretty extreme goods for them. I traded mine and got a super-rare unusual hat!

Heavy with Strong Bad's mask and Killing Gloves of Boxing would be amazing.

[RAnthonyMahan]

Heavy with Strong Bad's mask and Killing Gloves of Boxing would be amazing.

No, the Strong Bad mask should alter the Heavy's appearance so that he's wearing the Killing Gloves of Boxing at all times, even when he has a different melee weapon equipped.

Then people can ask the Heavy how he fires his minigun with boxing gloves on.

[Emuscles]

i'm getting addicted to hats; i'd love to trade for max's severed head..

yes, i registered to trade for the hat.

(i hope this is fine by forum rules..)

no one seems to want to trade for hats anymore.. i'll trade:

(or something of the same value, but i thought that would be a cool deal)

thanks guys.

Do you realise, that you just gave EXCLUSIVE item, which is now far more rare than Unusual items?

[jeeno0142]

The Sam and Max items are really the only items I care about for this game. I'm happy to just upgrade slowly on the rest, safe in the knowledge that only a few of us have this item, and for most of us it proves our fandom. :P

The sock crown is reserved only for the High Priest of the Ocean Chimps. You should only be able to receive it if you accomplish the following:

1. The feet anoint you. (Have a rocketjumping/stickyjumping Soldier/Demoman land on your head.)

2. You perform great miracle to feed your people. (Repeatedly drop Sandviches for teammates.)

3. The map reveals the face of the true High Priest. (Spray a picture that looks exactly like who you're controlling, complete with the specific weapons and hats you're carrying.)

Seriously, I've the items and I'm too afraid to wear them so I can just play the game.
However, my fiance's constantly bugging me for them, though I do constantly rub it in her face. I feel bad for her. I told her to pre-order S&M3, but since she just started season 1 she didn't want to. I told her it'd get her items in TF2 and she said she didn't want to ruin the order inwhich she'd complete the games. So, basically, I'm trying to get Sam's head for her (no way in hell I'm giving up mine).
