Telltale Games

Harald B · 05/20/2010, 06:30 am

Since Max is put out of action now, who do you think Sam will partner up with to get his brain back? Get bragging rights later by speculating correctly now.

Hayden · 05/20/2010, 06:44 am

Ooh, I really, really, really hope that Sam and Flint Paper team up to find Max's brain! Flint Paper's an awesome character, but he is used far too little. Now is Telltale's opportunity to include him in the story.

Sam will team up with Mama Bosco

mrpineapplehead · 05/20/2010, 06:56 am

sam is just going to be on his own halfway trough the game i don't think so,i KNOW so....

Baby Amelia Somethin seemed to want the sidekick job

Hassat Hunter · 05/20/2010, 08:01 am

Max.

Skunkape!

caeska · 05/20/2010, 08:39 am

Nobody. Max is dead for good, he'll never return.

Planeforger · 05/20/2010, 08:40 am

Harry Moleman did offer to be a sidekick in the first episode, which sould be foreshadowing...but it's not tinfoil hat day today, so meh.

Harukuro · 05/20/2010, 08:50 am

I HOPE that it's Flint Paper since he is just oozing with awesomeness and plus didn't Telltale say he would have a larger role this season? But then again he might just be an NPC that helps Sam with certain puzzles or something.

The clapping monkey is a mind projector. Basically it will bring a max back from the time he was taken and then at the end only one max will stay by fighting to the death! muhahaha!

Shemp · 05/20/2010, 09:46 am

I think they'll bring Max back into the game pretty fast.
Flint Paper would be awsome as sidekick, but i don't think it'll happen.

As long as it's no Moleman or one of the babies, it's fine with me.

light_rises · 05/20/2010, 09:46 am

This is a tough one. Both Flint and Harry come across as likely candidates to me, for various reasons. But my first thought was --

-- this. I got some distinct "That part where Max gets blasted to smithereens" vibes from the last scene of this episode. We even have Gordon as further proof that establishing some kind of telepathic link between Max's brain and Sam might be possible. And there's also how Max has been essentially acting as a conduit for Sam when it comes to use of/experiencing the effects of certain psychic powers.

The one thing that makes me hesitant is this might echo what happened in "Bad Day on the Moon" a little too much. But I felt so terrible for Sam at the end of Sammun-Mak that I still kind of hope this is the case after all.

Or hey, maybe I'll take the Third Option: Sam is able to communicate with Max's brain, but he still needs someone else physically there with him to get the job done.

Hush, you.

Cheri · 05/20/2010, 09:46 am

It'd better be Flint. He's like the Chuck Norris of Sam & Max.

lombre · 05/20/2010, 09:49 am

I'm guessing that throughout the episode you'll have to switch to Max's disembodied brain, which is being kept in a room far away from Sam, and use Max's powers on things in the room that will indirectly affect Sam. How a disembodied brain wields the toys... well, I haven't though that far ahead yet.

Hm...we've already seen at least one way in which a disembodied brain can interact with toys (and spaceships, and whatnot), so you might be on to something.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that Skun-ka'pe was having Gordon use the toys for him. Maybe I am on to something!

PISLIX · 05/20/2010, 10:25 am

If Flint Paper becomes Sam's sidekick, is he gonna run arround aimlessly like Max? And also I'd like to watch him while he is "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."-ing.

On second thought, probably this isn't a very good idea. XD

Hassat Hunter · 05/20/2010, 10:29 am

Well, they can hardly fill up a game about that (unless Max got a LOT of interactive hotspots and toys in his location), but it surely seems possible for the start...
