Telltale Games

I hate the narrator. I want to shoot him he is so annoying.

Rather Dashing · 04/18/2010, 10:33 am

It's okay. You're just wrong.

Strongsadioware · 04/18/2010, 10:44 am

Don't tell me why, but he reminds me alot of G-Man.

LuigiHann · 04/18/2010, 10:48 am

I just hope that for most of the season, he only shows up at the very beginning of the episodes. I didn't really like him showing up in between actual Sam&Max segments like he did in this episode. He can introduce the story, but once he's gone he should be gone, unless/until he actually becomes a character that Sam and Max interact with later on.

LeBart · 04/18/2010, 10:54 am

I could not disagree more, he is my favorite new character and I think without him the season looses its 60's B-Movie/Twilight Zone feel. I hope to never see him interacting with Sam and Max, or it has to be in a clever way. He is perfect just narrating the story.

Crrash · 04/18/2010, 10:58 am

i don't hate him, but i did hate that he kept interrupting the game, and that he kept insisting that its ME saving the world. But other than that he's a pretty cool character

Giant Tope · 04/18/2010, 11:13 am

I like Rod Serling-man. Which is what I'm calling him.

Constantly saying that I'm involved with the story just reminds me of this. (Yeah, I know that's not really Rod Serling, but he's a convincing sound-a-like)

No no....head explody, while Max gets to watch. So at least something good comes out of the narrator.

(Okay, I thought the narrator was good in the trailer, but in game he annoyed me so much)

Bunnyman · 04/18/2010, 12:58 pm

I really like him myself, he adds a good amount of mystery to the game.

*Irishmile* · 04/18/2010, 01:00 pm

I liked him..... I also like really old campy scifi though.

Sir Pantalones · 04/18/2010, 01:01 pm

I really don't get what's annoying you people. I thought his cut-offs were awesome, and they were only near the end and the beginning, if I remember correctly. Reminded me of G-man, when something happens and he just freezes time and talks to you.

I also like old campy sci-fi.

While pasty-faced enough, he lacks the ominious eyes - or worse, the fear-inducing smirk - that give the G-Man his unique creepyness (Back to 2003 anyone?) Plus, the narrator's too sharply dressed.

There's definitely a bit of G-Man influence, though the G-Man's mid-action freezes and soliloquies are naturally a lot more menacing.

*Irishmile* · 04/18/2010, 01:12 pm

Guys he is so obviously supposed to be like the narrator from Plan 9 from outerspace,... even the hair is similar....

Obviously the Twilight zone narration is another inspiration

I think whether or not you like him depends on whether or not you're at all familiar with what he's parodying.

Strong Max · 04/18/2010, 06:52 pm

Wow, this forum... Whenever you guys encounter a charecter who doesn't exactly fit like the soda poppers, Superball, Hugh Bliss or Brady Culture (all of whom I really liked except for Culture) you are revolted instantly, geez. It's good to have a little disenance once in a while.

Y'mean dissonance or dissent? I dunno, I usually assume that straight-up stating ones hatred for a character is usually more of conversational gun powder rather than seriousness.

Anyways, I like the narrator when he's bookending the story, but he does seem a bit overbearing. "YOU are in control, only YOU can save the world, only YOU can prevent forest fires," gets to be a bit annoying.

THIS. A thousand times THIS.

Pantagruel's Friend · 04/18/2010, 10:38 pm

I personally think he's great. Just the partner for a power-mad space gorilla trying the to take over the world!

Hassat Hunter · 04/19/2010, 01:06 am

While he's a good char, I agree he could do with less referring to me.

taumel · 04/19/2010, 01:09 am

I think he's okay, although i could imagine a way cooler narrator as well. I don't especially like him but i also don't hate him. He just seems a bit too artificial and i would appreciate if he only shows up in the beginning and after the game ended. Rod Serling incarnation in Sam&Max.
