Some lampshading would have been nice with that...it really does make any sense past the logistical reason.

I also don't see how he used the future vision, since earlier the brain says that he can't use psychic powers, which is why he needs the brain of someone who can. So he made the brain use it? Why didn't the brain warn Sam and Max that their plan wasn't going to work, in that case?

I would ask why was Max trapped into the penal zone if only Sam was holding the homing beacon?

Because they didn't talk to him before they broke out of prison? The only person you talk to after you regain consciousness is Stinky.

Maybe Skun-ka'pe gave it to Max so that no one else could use it against him? Skunky is an (overly) self-assured kind of guy, so maybe he didn't consider seeing into his future as that great a power. He already knows his future; he's going to rule the galaxy.

If you listened at all to the brain, he wasnt feeling the best.

Didnt he say something about if he could help, difeat skunkape it would be a noble clone for one less villian to message the checking book, or something like that.

I can't believe you have no idea how offensive Donut Button is. It's almost as raunchy as "fluffernutter". I feel unclean just typing it. Telltale used to have some tact, after all, they censored the term in Sam and Max 205. It was one of Sam's lines.

splash1, just... check urbandictionary, and you'll figure it out. I'd say it here, but I'd get banned, because it is very, VERY explicit.

I am thinking about deleting my account here due to all this "Donut Button" filth.

My guess is, since he can't use directly and the brain finish all but healthy after make him use it (Considering, also, the Demon Brooth has started to go bad), Skun-ka'pe decided to destroy the future vision with the Penal Zone, Sam and Max at the same time. Considering that needed too many effort for Gordon, I guess destroy it so no one else can use it againt him probably was a good idea. Also, I guess he planned to destroy Teleportation too, because he must know Max was also holding the Telephone and maybe the Teleportation doesn't work for travel to different planes (And that's why Mama Bosco has to catch you when we tried to go out).

And yes donut button is very, very, very rude. You can't use that in public even down here. Really.

I think it has more to do with Skun-ka'pe's personality. Like a little kid it's all about getting new and more toys; once he actually has them he'll just get bored and want more. Remember that this is the guy who risked it all for a toy that lets you determine the right amount to tip at a restaurant. When it comes to Toys of Power, he's not a rational thinker and how useful they are has nothing to do with it. In his child-like egotistical mind, the gloating value was probably worth giving up the future vision.
On a separate note, I think Skun-ka'pe has only been pretending not to be able to use the Toys himself. I mostly think that because of his earlier escape from the Penal Zone. The most straightforward explanation is that he used Teleportation to get out, and it seems rather implausible for him to have had Gordon with him at the time.

Y'know, I'm pretty hard to offend. I lurk 4chan, for crying out loud. But "donut button" is just too much. The TTG forum has officially become the most offensive place on the internet.

Well done, Pale Man. Well done.

He gives back because he think Sam and Max are going to suffer more by seeing what's going to happen to them, so I guess you right.

He has followers and probably the followers make something to take him out. And, considering Mamma Bosco almost get you out the Penal Zone too, it's not that implausible. Appart, if he was cappable to use the Toys himself, probably he never put Gordon here. Or trying to capture Max for doing the same with him after Gordon dies or something. He will probably put someone intelligent but not psychic and kill the other psychics, so he can be the only one who can use the toys.
