Countdown to Ep 3 - "They Stole Max's Brain!"

[thesporkman]

Chuck Jordan is (was?) the lead designer on The Devil's Playhouse.

Where did you hear that he left? Or are you confusing him with Brendan Q. Ferguson, who recently left Telltale to pursue humanitarian work and who was one of the designers on the first two seasons of Sam and Max?

I have two more questions:

1: After we finish the Episode, do we get a new power like in The Penal Zone?

2: Will we control Max like we do Sam, in this Episode?

1: No, Jake has already clearly said that that was a one-off deal, and it would make PC users angry as well.

2: If you mean walking around, probably not, no game has done it yet and, although we have made tiny steps by being able to control Max in some way, we probably won't be able to make him walk around until the fourth season.

1: I think he meant PS3 exclusives. And I meant for every available platform that it's on.

2: We got to play Max (in a way) in 203, so it might not surprise me if we do get to control him.

1: I was also talking about how many PC users are angry about PS3 exclusives

2: You mean 302

[Cheri]

Nope, 203 has it too. Remember the whole soul switching bodies thing?

[Sausy Gibbon]

No he means in the final fight in 203.

Edit: Damn Cheri was too quick.

[The Highway]

oh, right, i though he just hit the keys too fast, i didnt even think about night of the raving dead

[Emo Hoe]

I'm still intrigued by this "will there be two storyline" muddle.

I get the impression the answers mean "storyline" as in the over arching plot of the episode; but the questions mean "storyline" as in the separately little stories that make up the over arching plot.
Meaning will Sam and Max be split up and we will have to (for atleast some of the episode) play them independently of each other (thus giving them each their own storyline), despite the fact they presumably are reunited at some point and their two sets of actions both ultimately fuel the same overarching plot.

[PressidentMax]

Probbably not, Max doesn't have a brain right now, remember?

[henke37]

Correction, Max does not have a brain in his body. There is a big difference between not having something and not having it at a specific location.

[tbm1986]

Has anyone considered Max's brain will end up like Gordon's (at least for a while) therefore he/we will be able to control various things other than his own arms and legs?

To have something implies posession, who the brain belongs to implies ownership. Max does not have his brain, "They" have his brain. Even if the brain belongs to Max, he currently does not "have" it.

Hey, if your going to get into semantics...

[lmeeken]

But if Max's consciousness resides in his brain (which it probably does in the S&M universe, as the alien brain's consciousness was pretty intact), you could fairly say he DOES have it. In fact that's all he has.

Maybe the title of this episode should be "They Left Max's Body!"

Anyway, we may get to use some Max-vision in Max's disembodied brain and make use of Max's brain powers while there, even though the brain is not in his head.

[Shaun-the-Post]

Actually, I don't think Max uses his brain that often. The episode will probably start with Max waking up, saying: "Oh, hi Sam. I guess, I must have nodded off. The ending of the movie was kinda boring. What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
And then Sam and Max try to get Max' brain back. If I've understood Mike's hints correctly.

[PressidentMax]

Maybe Max's brain is in the center of the universe, just where he left it!

I never said exclusives, and I know how people were angry from it. But it was an accident; it won't happen again even if they do give us another power at the end.

If Max's brain is The Great Clock, does that make Orvus Yog-Soggoth?

I'll shut up now.
