Sam Max Team Fortress 2

For anyone curious, The codes only work for their original owner (because they're tied to the S+M S3 software)

Luckily for you, Valve recently introduced item trading, so if you can find someone else with the Sam and Max items...

Be careful, though. Apparently the trading system wasn't supposed to let you trade promotional items, and Valve is planning to fix the fact that you can. I'd hurry.

Why would you even want useless cosmetic items whose sole purpose is showing off that you're a Sam and Max fan?

Because there are a lot of people who compulsively try to collect every item in TF2, even when it has no effect on gameplay. Valve's aware of this fact and tries to take advantage of it as much as possible. Right now there's this deal where if you buy Left 4 Dead 2 by today you get a frying pan (which is just a reskin of the Soldier's Shovel/Demoman's Bottle, depending on who it's equipped with) and Ellis' Hat (which is...a hat).

What makes it hilarious is that, due to the Primeval Warrior/Grizzled Veteran/Soldier of Fortune/Mercenary medals, it's impossible to get every item.

I played Sam & Max and TF2 before the hats. I felt cheated when I missed out on them. I just wish I could have them.

(Hint hint TTG )

[OhMan]

I came here to ask because I thought there might be people who played Sam & Max and had TF2 but didn't care about having TF2 items. Over on the TF2 forums, it is the other way around, people who play TF2 don't want to trade the items, due to their coveted status.

If you think I don't deserve the items because I don't play Sam & Max, then of course there is nothing I can do. Though I'm a collector, I don't go as far as to spend money on virtual items plus a game that I do not want to play. Everyone has different games they enjoy, and the games TellTale make just aren't my cup of tea.

So, if you have the items and refuse to give them to me because I don't play Telltale, then so be it, sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Yours sincerely,
OhMan.

You'd probably have better luck hopping onto a few busy Achievement/Idle servers and asking around for someone looking to trade the Sam & Max stuff. Around here most people are way too attached to Sam & Max to even consider trading away the items (myself included).

As I said, it's usable but it ties S3 + TF2_items together as a bundle, so you cant get one without the other. (likely on purpose so people wouldn't sell the code for the items)

We're not _THAT_ obsessive... well... um... ok... maybe we are

Well said. Kiwi

Ill be nice and....... What Im also not giving you the stuff, not because I dont think your not deserving(you so far are nice), but because I like my sam and max gear.
Also, at least you dont buy the games just for the hats. Those people are idiots.

It doesn't work that way. The code is just a Steam gift code for season 3. It'll add season 3 to your Steam account regardless of whether or not it was your Telltale account that generated the code. Telltale and Valve really put us on the honor system with that one, because anyone who preordered or bought in the first week from Telltale could (and still can) generate a code and give a second copy of the game away to a friend for free.

Also, for anyone who thinks it's too late, as long as you bought the game from Telltale before the end of the first week, you can still generate the code and add season 3 to Steam, and you'll still receive the Sam & Max items.

Ok... apparently there's some kind of code gennerator then...? (somone offered me "their code" and it said it was already used when I tried to redeem it)

If you click that link while signed into your Telltale account and you bought the game from Telltale before noon on April 26th, you get a code that can be redeemed for a copy of The Devil's Playhouse in Steam, and apparently Steam will recognize that the game was purchased during the promotional period and the TF2 items will be awarded.

It was basically the quickest fix Valve and Telltale could come up with for the hat snafu, and they put a lot of free copies of the game on the line to please some upset fans, putting us all on the honor system to not give away or sell our codes.

[OhMan]

Anyone willing to offer me a code? It would be much appreciated. For those who play TF2, I am willing to trade hats.

My friend, who plays Sam&Max games regularly, his name is sniperfire and he is on these forums, has all the episodes save this latest one. You could give the code to him, and then he would trade me the items.

Would anybody be kind enough to do that?

That WAS my code. I guess I had already gave it away without remembering. soz.

And @ Jaden: it's ok, I'm not mad. Maybe they'll run the promotion again sometime and I'll get in on it then ^_^

As GuruGuru noted, we have an honour agreement with Telltale on this: they gave customers from TTG the items if they didn't buy from Steam, if we used the code solely for us. Breaking that might make them less willing to extend stuff to the community in the future. The code does not merely give the TF2 items, it gives their entire game on Steam.

If you're going to get the items, go for it through the trading system, not through breach of trust with the developer.

... Anyone who pre-ordered The Devil's Playhouse got the hats. So if you played the game "before the hats" you in fact "have the hats." Go here: http://www.telltalegames.com/tf2hats

[Ashton]

How much did the Pre-order cost? I paid $19.99 or $29.99 iirc for the whole season once it was completed.

I bought it in roughly the third week. I feel left out.
