I was wondering if it is / will be possible to download and keep all of the Machinima Shorts that sit between Sam & Max episodes.

It would be a shame for them to just disapear, never to be seen again.

Or are they already available and I'm just being blind?

You need something like VLC to play them and since flash video support is experimental it might not work at all.

We will have an official gallery up very shortly.

Nick Fury · 01/16/2007, 05:45 am

I still don't see an official gallery. I could very well be suffering from blindness though. Anyway here is where to get number 4:

Still need VLC to play them though, unless someone knows of a better flash video file player.

The gallery isn't up yet but should be later this week

WMV versions are here:

WMV versions of 3 and 4 are coming soon.

I can't find any info on this. Are these just cutscenes from the game? Do they have anything to do with the plot of the game?

I haven't played either episode yet (I won't until the whole season is complet), and I don't want to see any spoilers.

ShaggE · 01/16/2007, 08:25 am

They're short clips taking place in between episodes. Definitely spoilerrific, so I'd wait to watch them until you play the episodes

Don't watch #4 (the one that's on the Sam & Max page right now) if you haven't played episode 2 yet. One of the characters from ep2 is revealed and we think the game is a lot funnier if you don't know about him until you encounter him in the game. (For the record, this is why we waited until after the game had been out about 10 days before posting machinima #4 on our site.)

Other than that, they won't spoil the games for you. They don't give away any plot points.

I agree with that - his entrance in the game was a wonderful moment.

I really think that the attention paid by telltale to the between episodes experience is just superb!

Thanks for putting the WMV's up! Our internet bandwidth in South Africa is a bit shoddy, so it was impossible for me to watch it otherwise!

Thanks again!

Spoiler: the fact that he's a chicken, namely...

ShaggE · 01/16/2007, 07:51 pm

It doesn't give away plot points, but they use locations and props that might be considered spoiler-y

for example, you can clearly see the broken hypno-bear stashed in Sam and Max's closet, and in Machinima 3, the fact that it takes place outside of Brady's hideout kinda ruins the the plot, since the more eagle-eyed of viewers can easily figure out what's going on by reading the marquee and whatnot

**Jake** · 01/16/2007, 07:56 pm

A spoiler for a location in episode 1 at this point is pretty fair game in my opinion. There are reviews in magazines with huge chunks of the page dedicated to a screenshot of that location. Not much you can do. Mr Featherly is pretty new though, so yeah.

ShaggE · 01/16/2007, 08:06 pm

I agree, it's tantamount to saying the ship sank at the end of Titanic at this point

JK1985 · 01/17/2007, 01:10 pm

Hey guys (and girls)! The 5th machinima short is up at gametap!

The 5th!

(Don't watch this if you not have'nt played ep 2)

Haha, the best Machinima short yet!

Lysandus · 01/18/2007, 10:29 am

Yeah, that last short is really "off the wall" in the way that some of the Sam & Max 1 page comics used to be. Captures that feel perfectly!

Welshy · 01/18/2007, 12:01 pm

Is that a new funky tune at the end of that short?

Mishakun · 01/18/2007, 12:05 pm

I noticed the funky tune at the end of machinima ep 5 as well. It sounds really cool.

Maybe it is for the next episode's soundtrack?

numble · 01/18/2007, 12:10 pm

Any thought to putting the shorts and/or trailers on Youtube? It might be a potential semi-viral marketing opportunity.
