Harder episode, huh? Hoo boy, and I had enough trouble with episode 1...

Organize a big enough protest against film grain and we will reconsider.



Tjibbbe:

A. Episode 2 marks a definite (temporary) departure from the 70's sci-fi vibe of Episode 1. It riffs on at least three other genres...points for guessing which ones.

Well...with the comment on film grain being particularly appropriate, I'm going to guess (or at least hope) that one of the genres is the old 40s/50s film noir/Hitchcock style.

After all, with the new dynamic shadows and all that, I'd imagine it'd be tempting to play with a genre that made such heavy use of light and shadow, but...we'll see.

Hi, caeska:

No, you won't be using Future Vision in episode 2. It may return to your arsenal in subsequent episodes, but I think it's safe to reveal that it won't be featured as prominently as it was in episode 1, as new Toys of Power come into play.

[Cheri]

Oho, interesting..

[joseppey]

Hello! I have 3 questions.

1. will there be time travel in this episode?

2. Will telaportation make an appearance in this episode or will it be gone like the future vision?

3. How many new toys will there be?

[JusSonic]

Hey JusSonic here. I got a few questions to ask about episode 2.

1. Will the C.O.P.S. be used again like in the first episode?

2. Can you give us a hint to the main villain of episode 2?

3. Any chance Bosco, Sybil, Abe or some characters who didn't appear in Episode 1 will be showing in the new episode?

4. Will we find out whose Girl Stinky has been seeing (the S guy on the cell who isn't Sam or Skunk'ape)?

And finally...

5. When will the new trailer for the episode be out?

[mathman77]

Going of of JusSonic's question, will we see Jimmy Two-Teeth again?

Hi Andy, nice of you to drop by and answer some questions.

I have one. Will episode 2 have the man stuck between 2 buildings that I asked Chuck about?

[Bruno83]

Hi Andy!
You've alreasy answered about the grain effect, but what about the ability to

Quality levels from 1 to 9 may be easy to handle, but i like to experiment a bit so that I can get a good framerate with graphic options that I've chosen.

Please release the next episode on or after May 7th, I have finals and do not need the distraction.

>>funny looking bloke?<<

Maybe it was the fez that made him look funny?

IMHO, he's the coolest, best looking character ever in a Sam & Max game -- or a Telltale game for that matter. That's just my opinion though ... I've got biases :P

Hello Andy, nice to meecha:

1. Will any of the characters that have left (Bosco, Bluster, Syble, Abe, Two-teeth, Anyone in hell) come back for this episode?

2. I miss the office.

3. Did lousy old corperate ever make you cut out something you wrote or put something you didn't like in?

So... he was modelled on you then, Joel?

[lombre]

One thing I've been wondering is what Mr. Funny Looking Bloke's voice is going to sound like. In my mind I keep imagining an odd mix between the voices of Satan and Harry Moleman. Am I anywhere close in this guess?

[Shwoo]

funny looking bloke

I think his name is Papier Waite. Look at the filename.

I'm imagining a more Noel Coward feel to the guy.

[GinnyN]

I don't wanna know anything. I don't why I'm reading this...

WHATHEVER!

In fact, I was shifting my attention to Scoggins' Mystery by now...

Ah.... I was really waiting to see how you guys would manage all the toys in play at once, would have made some wicked puzzles possible. Maybe in the later episodes...

Questions:

1-Will we get to know how the future vision ended up on S&M street and started the whole story?

2-When can we expect a toy of power that gives Max the ability to blow people minds with greatness?

Really? I thought it was obvious! We see in the trailer a giant cockroach with the nametag "Sal". In season 2, Sal was in the kitchen in Stinky's. Sal is an inhuman monster and his name starts with S, and Stinky is obviously lying when you ask if there was ever anyone in the kitchen. Therefore, Stinky is going out with a giant cockroach named Sal.

Well, I didn't see the nametag so I didn't know that.

Girl Stinky seeing a cockroach named Sal? Then again she is really a devil food cake so things has happened in the world of Sam and Max.
