Countdown to episode 2

[The Highway]

spoiler tags, please. although most of us already know this, some people haven't played season 2, so they don't know about stinky yet.

[Hayden]

Hey Andy, I also thank you for taking the time to answer your fans' questions, just a few quick ones I wanted to ask:

Are the Soda Poppers well-and-truly gone? I very much hope so.

I take it this billboard is definitely related to 'The Tomb of Sammun-Mak', yes? And are you aware of the misspelling of 'Pharaoh'?

Will Skun-ka'pe return (are you allowed to answer this)?

Have you got an effective and compelling cliff-hanger ready for the end of the episode?

So they like S&M enough to pre-order Season 3, but not enough to play season 2? Cmonnnnnnn this is pretty much a spoiler forum!

I think I'd have to agree with Mr. SpaceFalcon. I'm not really going to go out of my way to put in spoiler tags when I'm posting in a section of the forums devoted entirely to discussing Season 3.

[Hassat Hunter]

Not to mention if you play 301 and talk to Stinky it basically says "Is an evil cake" in the introductionary screen (and notebook).

It's currently kinda hard to play season 2 if you bought season 3 for the PS3 or the iPad...

[Hassat Hunter]

But in those cases it's also kind of hard to be in this forum section...
(Not to mention my above point still stands)

Therefore, Stinky is going out with a giant cockroach named Sal.

I still think it's the S is for suck dragon

Highwayman speaks the truth. I suspected this much from episode 5 in finale of season 2 when Grandpa Stinky came back from hell and Sam ask about Sal and Girl Stinky said, "Sal? who Sal"? Up close and serious which meant a foreshadow event for season 3 and she did it again in this season. Her reason to keeping Sal a secret is that no in the right mind would keep a cockroach as a chef or a suuuuee chef (get it?????.......never mind) by the health board administration on food concern that is too unsanitary to eat or otherwise known as H.B.A.O.F.C.T.I.T.U.T.E.

Either that or could be Sam and Max arch nemesis, Sam Mack which I starting to speculate episode 2 may involve with him (if you notice how his name sound almost sound like of episode 2 title).

[The Highway]

His name is actually Mack Salmon, so it actually doesnt sound that much like Sammun-Mak, which sounds more like Sam & Max. Also Mack Salmon doesn't start with an S.

[Sir Pantalones]

Mak-Sammun and Mack Salmon sounds a lot alike though.
Salmon, which could be where the nickname Sal comes from, starts with S.

I actually don't think "Papier Waite" is going to have a voice, for some reason. : o
Don't ask me why, I just think he will be a... urhm... "silent antagonist".

joseppey:

1. will there be time travel in this episode?

Not time travel, no. But we found a different way to mess with chronology...you won't quite be taking a straight line from beginning to end.

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

This episode features all-new toys.

3. How many new toys will there be?

Two or three, depending on how you count them.

JusSonic, mathman77 and Strong Max: I'm not going to answer all your questions, because I don't want to give too much away. You will be encountering some returning favorites in episode two...not necessarily the characters you referenced. I don't know when we'll have a trailer up.

Joop: I think our animators would love to have a guy squashed between buildings...it would save them a lot of work. But he'll have to be deferred to a later episode.

Bruno83: It's a good idea...I'll pass it along to the core tech team.

Strong Max: People are always making me cut things. That's the nature of a collaborative form like videogames. It's never just arbitrary, though...there are always reasons for cutting, most of them good ones. Sometimes there are technical limitations, sometimes it's a question of getting the game done by deadline. Occasionally an idea is just a step or two over the line, and I have to be reined in. This happens more often with a genteel franchise like "Wallace & Gromit" than a freewheeling franchise like "Sam & Max." But I'll make a confession: the original design for "The Tomb of Sammun-Mak" contained a puzzle that was a little too disgusting for Steve Purcell himself. I hated to lose it, but you can't argue with the Creator.

lombre: I'm having a really hard time imagining what a cross between Satan's and Harry Moleman's voice would sound like...

Hayden:

Are the Soda Poppers well-and-truly gone? I very much hope so.

Me too!

I take it this billboard is definitely related to 'The Tomb of Sammun-Mak', yes? And are you aware of the misspelling of 'Pharaoh'?

As a matter of fact, that's from a different episode. And...um...of course! We misspelled it on purpose!

Will Skun-ka'pe return (are you allowed to answer this)?

Maybe. To both questions.

Have you got an effective and compelling cliff-hanger ready for the end of the episode?

Hell yeah! We've got a cliffhanger that will leave you gasping!

Aaaaaw... will we hear about this one after 302's release?

[Leak]

We've already learned the background story how Bluster Blaster got his (ahem) A.I. - any chance we'll get more backstory on the other C.O.P.S. members this episode? (Or, at least, this season?)

np: Autechre - d-sho qub (Oversteps)

I second this. Even if it's really that disgusting I will still find out! Besides the Internet is full of things best left unseen/unknown anyway so what's one more haunting image going to change.

I third this. I actually wanted to ask that here, but two people were ahead of me! I'd really love to know! Just don't tell us before Episode 2 is released.

Oh, you guys just love to make me wait here, don't ya?... buying all your stuff... waiting... for the one true shining moment... of guy crushed between buildings...

I think Season two is a bit far back for spoiler tags

[Zeek]

I think if you haven't played any of the previous seasons, you won't get some of the jokes, like the one Momma Bosco says about the extra $15 Million "some idiots" gave her son.
