Telltale Games

jmm · 05/07/2007, 06:44 pm

I don't know at this point a main plot but maybe Episode 1 will be around the War in the Dakotas.

Any thoughts?

Unresolved things (That I remember):
1. US/Lower Saskatchewan
2. War at the Dakotas
3. US Presidency/Max impeachments
4. Possible vacations

5. Abe/Sybil

6. Flint???

I still think it's going to have something to do with time travel. Hopefully, TellTale takes my suggestion to have it culminate in an episode where they have to travel back to the '70s to stop the villain from assassinating Steve Purcell and causing reality to be destroyed as a result.

Mel · 05/07/2007, 07:23 pm

It has begun...

AdamG · 05/07/2007, 07:30 pm

It's way, way too early to make an educated guess. Even they wouldn't have a clue what it's going to be about. But, with all the requests for Flint to appear, I'm sure he will be a main character.

Other then that, we can of course look forward to some very politically incorrect material as always.

*Jennifer* · 05/07/2007, 07:44 pm

My guess: Max does something borderline psychotic, and Sam makes a sarcastic remark.

barchetta · 05/07/2007, 09:16 pm

Time travel. How about this: Max goes back 200 years in the past while Sam goes forward 200 years and get enslaved by, say, tentacles.

Or they go back to 03-03-04 and undo some wrong ...

I'd love to see that, but I fear that if they succeed, that would cause a paradox and S&M Season 1 would vanish from existance. And since Season 1 do not exist they wouldn't be able to go back to 03-03-04

Oh, I forgot another few *unsolved issues*
7. Florida demoted to territory
8. The Internet was destroyed (hmmm, maybe that's why recovering Max's lost password is that expensive)
9. Purcell attacked by two-headed monkey.

I vote for an overall plot of a small group of zombies trying to whipe the slate clean of their stereotypical image by trying to do things un-zombie-like, only to be crushed at every turn due to their strange obsession with the ever-so delicious and wonderful food products found at Bosco's, which coincidently taste and smell like human brains.

It's like the Gaico Cavemen thing, only sillier and with an avenue for more violence.

Badwolf · 05/08/2007, 01:50 pm

I've got a feeling Hugh Bliss isn't gone forever.

ShaggE · 05/08/2007, 03:01 pm

After Max digests him, Hugh Bliss might want to stay dead. :P

If he's really a colony of alien bacteria, that means there are probably more of them on another planet... a lot more

The Duckmeister · 05/08/2007, 04:52 pm

The next season may be about time travel, but how would the villain use that against people? I mean, if it was going to be like DOTT, then they'd have to introduce the main villain right from the first episode, and it would take you six cliffhanger episodes to defeat this guy! That's why DOTT wasn't an episodic game (not like it could've been, but you get my point).

I'm thinking, just because of the COPS, that it could be obscelete machinery taking over the world, but I have no idea.

Lysandus · 05/08/2007, 05:15 pm

Sam and Max can already travel through time, they just drive there in their car!

It would be nice if all the episodes next season were set in different eras (like in some of the comics), but that probably wouldn't work so well with location reuse.

How right you are, especially since bacteria can repdouce itself. I'd imagine there will be an army of Hugh bliss somewhere in the universe.

I think it would make location reuse awesome. Ever play Day of the Tentacle? Watch the Back to the Future movies? Or better yet, the Back to the Future TV show?

Play Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Zelda: Oracle of Ages? A big part of the fun (and hilarity) of time travel comes from seeing the same location in various time periods. Sam & Max also have the benefit of a very absurd take on reality, so I'm sure that even if they go to ancient Egypt or Greece, or medieval England, there will almost certainly be doubles of local places like Bosco's. Everybody has nearly-identical ancestors (or descendants) in virtually every time and place, that's how cartoon genealogy works!

It would be pretty awesome to have to visit their home planet in some episode. I'm sure they're fairly harmless there. In fact, combine that with time travel, and you might just have the way he got to Earth in the first place!

Crap, I just had an idea so good that I'll be disappointed when they don't use it

Zeek · 05/08/2007, 06:58 pm

I'm just surprised nobody has commented on the absurdity of my idea yet. I guess that means that it will get made.

AdamG · 05/08/2007, 09:25 pm

Hugh Bliss didn't really exist, it was just a mass of bacteria in the form of a human which was assuming his made up persona. I'm surprised there hasn't been a backlash about that yet... An apparently gay Hugh Bliss turned out to be made entirely of bacteria, which was pasturized/obliterated at the end... :/

If you're suggesting that it was, uh... heterosexist to suggest that a gay person is made of bacteria and should be boiled, then... uhh... interesting interpretation. I'm guessing the reason there's been no backlash has to do with the fact that uh... nobody else interpreted it that way. I guess I just don't get what you were talking about. I just don't see much to be offended by. Except maybe the fact that they killed him, while most "just" heroes prefer not to kill anyone, even their adversaries.

jmm · 05/08/2007, 09:51 pm

S&M killed Hugh, but since *it* was a group of bactaria, there is no reason to believe that *that* colony was the only one. Plus Hugh had enough time on Earth to leave a few colonies and perhaps his book 'Emetics' was really a media to hide bacteria in it (as powder or even in the ink) just waiting to activate in case the master plan failed.

Dear Sam and Max,
Though our parting's sorrow be sweet
And so the taste of defeat
Do not let complacency from this follow
For we are one tough act to... swallow! Hee Hee!

Bye now!
