do you want the soda poppers in season 2?

[Hero1]

do you want them to keep appearing in season 2

[Badwolf]

I don't mind them, not my favourite characters, but I'd miss them if they didn't appear.

........................

It's too late!

[Kedri]

Why not?, say I.

[Hero1]

Wow interesting results! I think I had enough of the soda poppers in season 1..they are quite annoying..those irritating voices is enough to grate on me.. looks like they are getting a lot of love tho

[Kedri]

Irritating? That just means it's good for you! :p

And plus, it's so horrible, hearing Peepers and Whizzer sing is just brilliant. :D

[Zomantic]

But look (http://files.telltalegames.com/samandmax/screenshots/season2/seasontwo_santa6.jpg) at those hats! I love them!

Edit: yes, especially Whizzer's Fargo style.

[taumel]

Definately not! Some of the most awful characters in gaming history.

[ATMachine]

They were tolerable in Season 1, but with each reuse they grow more and more annoying. Retire them while some fans still love them, I think.

[Mel]

The real question is, do you give in to the people who don't like them or to those fans who do? Or, as Jake alluded to, with the ever-increasing cast of characters, use them in service to the game?

If they fit into the game and story line, I say yes. Don't use them for the sake of using them, but likewise, don't completely get rid of them either.

[xChri5x]

The Soda Popper voice actor's did an awesome job. They really suited them.

I wanna see the rubber pants commandos with the lovable Sgt. Blip!

They're my Favourite!-Max

[MeaningOfLife]

You made me messed up!

I guess I wouldn't mind if they were used sparingly.. I like some of the other characters so much more, like Sybil. She deserves a bigger role. How can you justify washed up 70s stars appearing in every Sam & Max case though?

Were they in all 6 eps last season? I'm asking because my brain is tired and I can't remember. :p I won't try to justify it if they were. But, since others are growing a little weary, the sparing use (when appropriate) seems like a good compromise.

[tabacco]

No, they weren't. They were only in 101, 102, and 104.

Personally, I love the soda poppers. Especially Whizzer :)

[Emily]

No, they were only in three of the episodes last season.

[Kedri]

Don't foget their appearence at the end of episode 6. ;)

[xChri5x]

Whizzer rules. hands down

You guys should design a forth soda popper. He can be the long lost evil brother who got put up for adoption. He could have boogers in his nose all the time!
or... he could be really really big and fat to throw things off.

[Hero1]

I guess they had to have whizzer in the north pole so they could make all those yellow snow jokes

I can already forsee a related puzzle... if you look at the released screenshots, you'll probably make the same connection.

[taumel]

By the way why is the new versioning scheme (201, 202, ...) inspired by Modo?

[Hero1]

TV shows often use a 201, 202 in production

[taumel]

Ah okay, not common in germany...it thought it was more stylished based.

[tobar]

Nah, as Jake explained in another thread the switch was made so that when people look them up on gaming websites they'll be listed in the right order by season, instead of having them all bunch up by episode number.

[Hero1]

soda poppers are kicking ass.. 75%

[Jay33e]

Soda Poppers are so Season 1.

[taumel]

I prefer staying with the more tasteful minority! :O)

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I'll be fine with them, as long as they aren't in every single episode and aren't overused. I'd be fine with just episode one and nothing else, to be honest.

[Jake]

I guess they had to have whizzer in the north pole so they could make all those yellow snow jokes

They're also the perfect characters, visually and personality-wise, to appear in a Christmas Special.

[taumel]

So they won't show up after the xmas special again?

[tabacco]

No promises.

[taumel]

I'll take you up on that! ;O)

[Kedri]

Funny how absolutely nobody posting wants them, but the poll shows otherwise...

[taumel]

Telltale staff and Poppers relative...

[Kedri]

And me. :)

Go Soda Poppers!

[taumel]

Didn't i mention relative already? ;O)

[jmm]

I voted "Yes" but the reasoning was eaten by the forum. In short, voting "No" was out of the question. Consider the roles they had in season 1, getting rid of them at this time is criminal to say the least.

But, I only want them back to close the Dakotas War storyline - adding more storylines for them is overkill. I'd be very happy if after that episode, they appear making one or two cameos for season 2 (with Xmas special being cameo #1), phasing them out and finally getting rid of them after some references in season 3 (i.e.: posters, newspapers, one Same one-liner, etc).

[Kitmit13]

heck no D8 I just got to bored with them. I like them in season 1 in epsiode 1 but then...they just kept getting in the way and annoying

[Bruno83]

I always liked them, and I want them back.
The whole Point about them ist that they are annoying!
They really shouldn't apear in every episode like Sybil and Bosco.
But their apereance in season 1 was just perfect.

[Hero1]

I liked them in season 1 particularly in abe lincoln must die. I just feel the joke is starting to wear a bit thin. Yes they are annoying, yes whizzer needs to go to the toilet..what else is there to do for the little guys

[DDshoeshowz]

I'm sure, after what we've seen TellTale do, they can come up with something.

[Alucard]

I'm a little late to give my opinion on this one but I didn't really like these characters. Sam, Max and Bosco. Kill the rest off.

[DDshoeshowz]

Don't say that! That's what happens in the last episode after Sybil has a meltdown, turns half the city upside down, and then Bosco and Sam run away together in secret matrimony.

...oh, and everyone else dies.

[Col_Shaggy]

I feel like if they're really relevant to the episode's storyline then fine bring em back.

For instace: In 101 they were integral to the trail of Brady Culture and his motivations for his plan. In 102, though, they could have dropped one or two or all of them in favor of some more appropriate celebrity parodies, 104 had the best post Culture use but it was little more than a cameo for them.

So if you want to resolve a story dealing with the Dakotas conflict they would be perfect, beyond that they can tend to be a little annoying and pointless.

[taumel]

Why not writing a story without them?
