View Full Version : Places to Go in Sam & Max: Season 2

So, now that season 1 is over and hopefully Telltale Games is working on season 2, what places would you guys like to see Sam & Max goto next?
Here is my list of ideas: ;)
1. Canada: After what happened in episode 6, it would be cool to see Sam & Max in Canada.
2. A SciFi Convention: Just the thought of Sam & Max let loose on a SciFi Convention feels me with Great Joy. :D
3. The Dakotas: With the Dakotas War still going, it should be about time for Sam & Max to step in.
4. A Comic Book: Sam & Max would somehow get sucked into the pages of A Super Hero comic book and would also get Super Powers. Now that would be cool to see. :D
5. A Parallel Universe: Sam & Max get sent to a parallel universe where everything is reverse and they meet their parallel universe selves Max & Sam (in the parallel universe, Max is the Tall Smart one & Sam would be the Short Crazy one).
6. Mars: They been on Earth, they been to the Moon twice, now it's time for them to goto Mars.
So, what do you guys think? And if you guys have any ideas on where you would like to see Sam & Max go in Season 2, do feel free to post them. :D

There's one place that I'd really like them to go...I want to see them break the fourth wall and show up at the TellTale offices. That'd be totally hilarious...

Hmm, Mars does sound like an interesting place for them to go. Don't forget Stinky's Diner accross the street too! :p I'm not really sure where else, I don't have a very good imagination. :/

After what happened in episode 6, they are in Canada. :p

To add to that comic book idea, it would be neat if for part of an episode or for a full one they turned the game into 2d Curse of money island style!
Or even to spoof the old adventure games and make it like Hit the Road for a small part where it's all pixelated. Even for just like one room

into the forest to meet some bigfoots!
max has a #1 hit and they have to maneuver through the music industry!
somewhere near a volcano
in a space ship!
some lost tribe
they travel back to the past[16th century or something]
to prison! sam and max must pose as criminals
1. Across the street into the diner.
2. Flint's Office.
3. Demolition Derby! I liked the driving sequences, no matter how simple people said they were!
4. Unnamed Island with a giant monkey head worshipped by vegetarian cannibals.

That would be cool to see, but I think Lucasarts is guarded by an army of Jedi Lawyers that could fight off any kind of attack.

I like the idea of the Space Ship because it reminds me of one of the places you were suppose to visit in the Lucasarts game.

Here are two more ideas for where Sam & Max should go in Season 2.
1. Heaven & Hell: The two places on Earth that Sam & Max have not been to yet. And it would be cool to see Max get into a Fight with the Devil. :D
2. Max's Dream World (The Mind of Max): Since we have already seen what goes on inside of Sam's head from episode 1, it would be cool to see what Crazy things go on inside of Max's Mind.

Not sure about Hell, but I'm pretty sure I read a comic months ago where they both end up in heaven after Max asks what happens after you die. I can't find it now though =/.

Neighborhood places I want to see:
-The Diner
-Flint's office
-Lefty's revisited
-The rest of their building
-The alley
In terms of other places I wouldn't mind seeing them do a tour of the world. A country per episode. Make it heavily stereotypical too. They can go to:
-London
-France
-Egypt
-Japan
-Even Canada as mentioned.
-Perhaps Mexico
Or they can have real odd places for cases like in season 1:
-A school/university
-A comic book as Ben mentioned. Whats cool about that is all the characters can be homages to real heroes like Superman, Batman and such. They can even run into their own comic. This can be merged with the convention idea.
-That idea of having a 2d part is cool too.
-War of the Dakota's can be a jab at all the WWII games.
-They can take a jab at popular TV shows like Lost where they can 'drive' to an Island where survivors are having a problem with their Island.
-The old west
Man season 2 is gonna be sweet. This can go in any direction.

haven't they been in the old west or am I halucinating comics again?
Yay flint! I really hope flint makes an appearence and the diner would be interesting (with any luck it'll include the staligtites of greese under the table.. mmm MMmmm)
to go harrass some natives (again)
some more surreal wierdness, space travel, time travel, ghosts and spooks, cults etc... the sort of things that were in the comics
And that spacestation is AWESOME!
Down.
Max: Hey Sam, didn't we were here some time ago?
Sam: Trying to get a thingamabob out of a corporate presence?
Max: Yeah!
Sam: Nope, not really anyway.

A high-tech laboratory.
Between dangerous chemistry, genetic manipulation and strange rays, there's plenty of fun to be had and plenty of opportunities for very good puzzles. It could also easily contain a mind-swapping device, allowing a part where you have to control Max (or at least his body). And it could contain everything you need to operate time- or dimension-travel.
Your immediate goal in the lab would be to use the peculiar tools it offers to bypass its high-tech security system, gradually gaining access to more and more of it. As for a more long-term reason, here's one suggestion: Bosco bought the lab from his ill-gotten gains, and has managed to lock himself in. The first puzzle might be to find and open the secret entrance to get into the lab at all.

Hmmm.....I wonder what Arizona is like in the Sam & Max World......
OnCallDoc

With all the money Bosco made, he should own a whole load of other businesses and property. Technically, they can run into him wherever they go.
Playing Sam in a Max body would be too much of a tease. I really hope for a Max that is controllable for a short time in one of the episodes.
Bringing back Max as a usable item would be cool too.
1. Las Vegas (complete with a wedding chapel running a special on Bigfoot weddings)
2. Hawaii (complete with Surfing Mini-Game in which Max surfs on the hood of the Desoto while Sam "drives" it dodging/hitting other surfers)
3. Japan (where we meet RoboMax v.2 in a climatic mech battle for the obligatory calatoral damage... complete with cheesey Power-Ranger-like victory pose!)
4. India (complete with the relatives of the swearing mechanic from HTR)
5. The Lost City of Atlantis (which has been turned into an exclusive underwater hot spring spa and pool for the rich)
6. The Center of the Earth (complete with Molemen versions of Bosco, Sybil, etc.)
Okay, so the last two are lame, but that's my list.
LuigiHann
05/12/2007, 06:15 pm
Right, I would be very pleased if, at least in the beginning, Bosco is insanely rich and Sybil is the leader of the free world. It'd be a nice way to change up their characters a bit, to differentiate Season 2 from the first one.
Zachspyfox033
05/13/2007, 06:56 am
I think they should go to an underground city like in the game, "The day the world broke"
"The day the world broke"
I wonder if they can use that as a title for an episode.:D
BenjaminHayden
05/14/2007, 04:35 am
The Beginning of the Universe: This could work out as the last place they go to in season 2, they would go back in time to see The Beginning of the Universe only to find out that they had something to do with it's creation. Can you say Max + Flameing Fart = The Big Bang. :D

Not really places, I'm thinking about Bosco's new costumes.. how about musical references? He should dress up in costumes like a rocker, rapper, etc. and actually make a song like the COPS in Ep. 5.

Are you kidding? If I were Bosco I (and I'm not, despite certain similarities) would leave that place and move on spending a few trillion dollars. Bosco's should be closed in episode 1 (with Bosco at some other inconvenient location)
In episode 2 Bosco's is open but with a sign that says 'Under new administration' (or something like that). Inside we have good ol' Bosco with a minimal change in look.

Sounds like i just thought for a second but, visit las vegas and meet back up with their compadres, trixie and bigfoot
Badwolf
05/14/2007, 12:37 pm
It'd probably be hard seeing as Bruno and Trixie are technically LucasArts property.
Besides, I'm not that eager to hear scrantonese folk songs. I'd rather see Flint.
They really should step into the war and go to the Dakotas (rendered without reference).
After seeing the winners of the recent contest, I kind of want them to do a parody of The Da Vinci Code and go to an art museum with that Guernica parody in the (distant) background.
Very cool idea. A museum!
With all the paintings and stuff the jokes will be awesome.
ghostgurl
05/14/2007, 07:52 pm
They should go back to Bumpusville, or the Bermuda Triangle, or El Dorado, or to a monster truck show.
Cyberlink420
05/14/2007, 07:59 pm
Yeah, a museum would be cool. Even better, instead of famous works, all the "paintings" would be fan art and concept art!
Chuck

Chinatown
Forget it.
I love that subtle humor, chuck. very masterful.
As for locations, a Planet of the Apes parody? Bigfoot is the obvious thought, but I keep thinking Planet of the Grapes/Crepes.
I agree about Historic locations. A Lagomorph in King Arthur's Court, How the West was Misplaced, Stratford Upon Avon-Calling, etc.

I'd like to see a whole season of parody based episodes.
Jurassic Park
The Terminator\Future War era (work well to bring back the C.O.P.S.)
The Davinci Code
James Bond
Akira\anime (good for 2D sections and super powers)
Lord Of The Rings
Star Trek\Star Wars
The Matrix series (good for slow mo and plenty of gunplay, and it's a nice extension of Reality 2.0:D)
And for those Red Dwarf fans a take on Rimmerworld, only instead of a neurotic supercilious jerk we see a world populated by our favorite psychotic lagomorph.:p
Ialso like the Heaven and Hell idea. Maybe Max makes his way to Hell, sans Sam, and overthrows Satan. All of the other minions get tired of his leadership and Sam must team up with Belsebub to return his furry buddy to semi-sanity and the right side of the law.
I also like the idea of getting involved with the Dakotas conflict and I really really really want to see Max as a usuable item\tool\whatever you want to call it.

Sam: You're suppose to only tackle the opposing team.
Max: There's teams in this game? I thought it was just a bunch of mindless headbutting and grabbing of the lower extreminties in a way that would make Richard Simons cry in jelousy.
Sam: It is, but you weren't suppose to do that to your own side. And especially with the pointy-end of the First Down Marker.
Max: So that's what that is! I thought it was a lawn dart!

Not wishing to rain on anyone's parade, but I hope Telltale are going to be careful if they consider using any of the ideas here. It might be easy to please a crowd by taking their suggestions, but we'd be robbing professional writers of the chance to do what they're best at and create something much more workable, entertaining and original.
Just a word of caution, but some of the ideas here do sound quite good :)
There's this big piece of butcher paper I wish I could tell you about.... The one thing I can say is that it already had a lot written on it well before this thread turned up, so don't worry :)
I think the designers like reading these threads to see the general sort of things people like to see, to ponder the ideas and chuckle at the funny parts, etc, and I wouldn't be surprised if certain ideas they had were slightly more affirmed or ... defirmed ... based on the tides of the fanbase, but rest assured that they're very much doing their own thing with Season 2. The fact that some things in this thread may be similar to concepts already on the books for season 2 is pretty awesome, and helps affirm peoples decisions to do what they're doing with season 2 stories, but the designers are spending too much time locked in the romper room laughing at each other's crazy concepts to spend all day sitting here burglarizing everything verbatim from the boards. :)

actally i bet ttg got inspired from these posts. i mean, c'mon people, what is hero1, an 8ball guy?:D
lets make a thread for S3.
Actually, surprisingly, the butcher paper (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?p=63590) went up in June or July of last summer, so the design team beat many of you to the punch! But its always extremely encouraging to know you're on the right track when the stories you're making are (frequently) crazier iterations of what your audience is hoping to see.

There really needs to be a rule against Necrothreading...
There is a S+M S3 thread already, but no I dont have a direct link on me.
To keep this post on-topic:
I would also like to reaffirm that it's amazing how dead-on some of the suggestions were. I am suspicious that TTG *is* drawing inspiration at times from the forums, especially in the form of minor plots/gimmicks they can just stick in for the fun of it w/o messing up the storyline.
