Telltale Games

Zeek · 02/09/2007, 09:33 pm

I would call this Bosco's Consperacy Theory Cornor, but I'm afraid that it would get a different kind of reply/reaction.

Anyway, I think I figured out a few things involving the connections between each episode that go deeper than how each episode ends.

I figure that Hugh Bliss is to blame for everything that is going on. Here's why:

Brady Culture's Easter Egg Bio on "Oh, Is He Still Alive?" meantions that he was in Prismatology for a while, the religon started by Hugh Bliss. It is possible that Hugh hypnotized him, possibly to create the Home for Child Stars to hypnotize people for whatever dimented reason that may be.

Harry Moleman must have apparently been a member of the "Home" somehow. Upon finding out who he really is, Hugh must have hypnotized and ordered him to replace the current Don Ted E. Bear in order to creat a factory of hypnobears.

As a distraction, Bliss had Culture hypnotize the Soda Poppers to create a distraction so that the police (reads: Sam & Max) won't suspect a thing.

Myra says that Hugh has been a guest on her show multiple times in the past. Chances are pretty high that he planted the Hypnobear after they were made and got her as well. Barring, of course, the line about the gift being from annoymous well-wishers.

Hey, it may be out of order as far as logic goes, but that's what I can piece right now.

And here are my assumptions as to what may end up happening:

That special bear that was delivered to Bosco may end up hypnotizing him. Same goes for any bears that were able to get delivered between when The Toy Mafia started to mass produce them and when Sam & Max blew up the factory.

I don't have a clue about what Plan B may be all about, but I have a feeling given the next episode's title that it may involve an Lincon animatronic. In which case, if that holds true, I say bring on the anti-Disney Jokes!

I'll add to this once the next episode comes out to the rest of the world, seeing how I don't have a GameTap membership. Here's hoping I get close to what the writers are really doing.

Aliens, the moon, and Bosco finally getting kidnapped by them.

I think everybody should make 3 guesses.

jp-30 · 02/10/2007, 03:19 am

Cockroaches, orbiting satellite and Sybill being murdered (properly).

Zeek · 02/10/2007, 07:46 am

What is this? Clue?

Sir Lemming · 02/10/2007, 09:21 am

Question: if the mole was under hypnosis by Hugh Bliss when he was replacing Ted E. Bear, would Sam have been able to hypnotize him?

He was able to do that with the Soda Poppers, so I don't see a reason why not? Besides... there are various levels of hypnosis in most of these kind of plots, and each can be overwriten in some kind of manner. I wouldn't be surprised if the real reason Max can't be hypnotized is because Hugh Bliss got to him first through the Emetics book, which would make an interesting puzzle since Max can't be KO'd to make him "destroy the intruder in your dream."

My guess is the hierarchy is like Culture being the hack that he is got the weakest abilities passed on to him. Harry got the next level up, seeing how he was able to mass produce the hypnosis effects and effect Myra in the process without having her go all "zombie tone" like the Soda Poppers. If the Max theory holds true, then Bliss is the highest level of them all, because Max appears to be completely normal... well, as normal as he can get, at least.

Maratanos · 02/10/2007, 11:21 am

Really? I don't recall Sam Ever hypnotizing the Soda Poppers...

Zeek · 02/10/2007, 11:31 am

Technically, he didn't. But he was able to control them while they were hypnotized which should not have been the case if Culture was at the level of Harry.

That being said, Harry being able to be hypnotized probably has something to do whatever will happen in Episode 4.

Maratanos · 02/10/2007, 11:49 am

Oh, you mean in the final scene?

Sir Lemming · 02/10/2007, 12:50 pm

Sam didn't re-hypnotize them, though; he controlled them while they were hypnotized. In this case he used the bear to hypnotize the mole...

I'm not being completely serious here, by the way, but I'm playing along.

Maratanos · 02/10/2007, 01:35 pm

In the ultimate irony, I predict that if Hugh Bliss really is behind all of this, it'll turn out that he really is an alien, too... See this post.

Zeek · 02/10/2007, 03:16 pm

That wouldn't surprise me either.

numble · 02/10/2007, 03:28 pm

In what episode will Chuckles be taken care of, if any?

Maratanos · 02/10/2007, 04:03 pm

Probably the very next... Remember, He was the undercover agent at the Mafia that recommended a switch to "Plan B" so that's probably going to tie into the next one...

Mirko · 02/10/2007, 05:07 pm

Another thing to remember: After losing in "Embarassing Idol" Peepers said, he would go to Mount Rushmore. One of the sculptures there depicts Abraham Lincoln. And Episode 4 is called "Abe Lincoln Must Die!" So maybe this could be a hint at what that episode is about.

Nice catch there...

Zeek · 02/10/2007, 05:35 pm

Do you think we will still be able to bungee jump out of their noses?

numble · 02/10/2007, 07:33 pm

Wow, I don't remember Peepers saying anything.

After Sam wins he says something like: "Specs! I'll get you for that, even if it's the last thing I do! Right after I get back from Mount Rushmore."

Zeek · 02/11/2007, 09:55 am

I just remembered something that may cancel out my original theory.

Max has a metal plate in his head. I don't know if there was a referance to that in the game so far, but it is mentioned both in Hit the Road and in the cartoon at one point or another.

Chances are that you cannot be hypnotized if your brain is within close proximity to something metalic, just like how Sam had his Anti-Hypnosys helmet built into his hat when it was originally made out of nothing more but a stainless steel caulendor and an iron coat hanger.
