A quick question:

You said there wasn't a prominent use of future vision in this episode, but what about a "past vision" type toy? Something that lets you play as these potential past versions of Sam & Max and whatnot. Or is this too sane enough to fit the crazy "left-field" play style you've mentioned?

Past-life regression toy sounds like it would be fun

Almost, Day of the Tentacle style.

Did you have to mention such an awesome game? :P Now I'm going to have to play it as soon as I've finished my re-run of TMI.

It seems this episode will feature mostly all new locations, can we still move around Straight and Narrow or are we going to have an intirely different setting?

Also, will the map return?

Will there be any death traps to avoid? Like the classical gigantic stone? Hopefully you guys are more original than that. You gotta stick Max's face on the rock somehow.

Edit: Wait, now I just realized the impact of that suggestion. A couple million Newton impact.

The S.I. unit for impulse is N.s (Newton-seconds).

Impulse (I/N.s) = Force of incoming object (F/N) x Time incoming and target object touch (t/s)

So if an object suddenly fell, the force would be the weight, which is the product of mass in kg and acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m.s-2).

Yeah. But, considering we're talking about a rock with the face of a psychopatic physic lagomorph, probably the acceleration will be more and the weight too, just for comic relief.

There will be no puzzles in episode 2 that require you to calculate in Newtons.

Deathtraps aplenty, though.

Aw crap, that means we must calculate forces in U.S. units!

Pheww! That's a relief!

That's what Puzzle Agent is for

First of all we need to find out the units, then the conversion constants! Oh joy...

Joop · 05/12/2010, 12:16 pm

I guess the difference by Newton's and U.S. units can be explained best by a man of science!

Predictable, feeble Friends-type humour.

And before you ask, I do sometimes enjoy the programme.

MarkoH01 · 05/12/2010, 12:50 pm

O.K. - I think i give up...go in my room and hang myself. Clearly there is only teasing and still no - not even a sight of a - release date. So live long all you Sam and Max fans, I can't bear it any longer.....

*just kidding* but still impatient!

I'm doing something even worst because I'm waiting. I'm doing... HOMEWORK! T_T

I hope they announce a release date soon. If they carry on this way, they should drop the 'monthly' out of the terminology they give us and replace it with something more fitting.

Ok I'm going too far here. To my knowledge, the only time they have not succeeded in bringing the forthcoming episode during the month following the last episode is for TMI's final episode. Their track record suggests they'll pull something out of the bag soon.

I don't agree.
The humour may sometimes be a bit predictable, but the acting, particularly by John Lithgow, more than makes up for it.
Friends can't even come close to the uniqueness of Third Rock from the Sun.
