Thanks for taking the time to write such comprehensive answers to all the questions! It's cool that you took them all seriously, even the not-serious ones.

A really interesting and worthwhile session - very much appreciated!

You're totally right, it was Chuck...and I believe "You & Me & Ted E. Bear" was Grossman...I think.

It was my pleasure, really! In life, I think the not-serious questions are the most important ones to take seriously.

Cheers and Goodboo Jared, i'm sure you're knackered after typing like a mofo for the past while

Yes! Thank you for answering my questions. And thank you for trigger such an awesome idea as a Transmet adventure game.

Rather Dashing · 04/02/2010, 11:51 am

I honestly had no questions that weren't asked by the time I got here, and the answers were all amazing.

If Jared ends up reading this though, I'd LOVE to thank him for everything he's contributed. Sam and Max continues to be the only game series with a soundtrack that I'd even CONSIDER purchasing, and the songs really do stick with me. The songs have a permanent spot on my hard drive and MP3 player, and I listen to them extremely regularly. The music is a major selling point for me, and I'd honestly have to reconsider playing another Sam and Max game if Jared wasn't doing the score.

There's not a single question in this post.

So much awesome packed in just one guy. It almost makes me want to cry (in a good way, not a bad one).

Thanks, Jared, great answers!

I guess this question is for the future if you ever pop back in to answer questions.

So for season 3, the whole vibe is film noir. So do you find it easy to adapt the music to any sort of style or genre? Like let's say Season 4 had a very 80's New Wave-ish vibe. Do you think you'd be able to adapt to a whole new genre easily? Also, do you prefer the transition to a new style, or do you like sticking with the same kind of style that was in Season 1 and 2?

Thanks for taking the time to answer questions for us.

Thanks for answering the questions, and looking forward to the "more information on the KOTOR music front" and the COPS return.

Question: Your doctor must hate you?

Cool. Thanks!

He didn't take mine seriously... (The one about going to his house) :(

Thanks for answering my questions. Good luck with all your future projects!

Thanks very much for answering all of our questions! Best of luck for everything else you do, and now I'm really looking forward to Season 3

When did you get to know about the iPad release of Season 3? :o

Nintendo Boy1 · 04/04/2010, 05:36 pm

Aw Chesse & Crackers! I missed the question and answering!

LuigiHann · 04/05/2010, 06:35 pm

Hopefully Jared will come back eventually, but even if he doesn't, maybe some other TT staff can field this question

Have you guys thought about putting some of your crazy musical numbers on Rock Band Network? Jokey songs and nerd-injoke songs seem to do reasonable well there, with Jonathan Coulton and Flight of the Conchords near the top, and a lot of hype surrounding acts like Ron Wasserman (who did the Power Rangers theme song) and Midnight Riders (a fictional band from within the game Left 4 Dead 2). Can't think of a specific song to suggest, but I know people would also get excited about jazz. I feel like some Sam and Max stuff would fit right in.

Oh yeah, and our good friend Kid Beyond (Andrew Chaikin, recurring Telltale voice actor) has a catchy song on there, you could ask him about it.

He is? Oh boy!

thatdude98 · 04/06/2010, 03:06 pm

Hey Jared, I thought of a couple more questions, if you'll be so kind.

1. So, I was kinda wondering... which comes first when designing a scene for a game? What I mean is, what does Telltale do first? The music for the scene, or the scene itself? Do they design the scene around the composition or... which is easier?

2. Wanna hear my completely unprofessional attempts at music?

3. Can he have a cookie? ------>

Wait, he sings?! And Jared hasn't capitalized on this?!
