I like 204 alot, though I do agree the alternate title is better for 203. Time to update my wallpaper

some asshole...

but seriously, that was the best suggestion I got all season. the rest of the title cards are all just red and brown old monster movie lobby cards or something... and then for some reason 202 is a crazy blast of 70s TV documentary campiness. I had hoped in the end they would all be crazy and different, but it slowly started to homogenize. 205's was going to be a little different but the title changed 80 times, resulting in about 4 different title cards being made, sadly landing on that slightly clunky and definitely off-center mess you see before you! Oh well! I like its cheezy "The Apartment" era movie titleness.

Little known fact: Steve Purcell appears in all the opening title sequences.

I like 204's best... the composition looks great, as does the "Star Wars"-like text.

By the way, is the torn paper on 203's title card just a rip-off (haha) from the S1 DVD-cover? I think so...

Let me guess.

Those will appear on the DVD Concept Art Gallery section.

Yo Telltales, any chance of getting that pic of Steve with those crocs as a higher-res pic?

Yes, but only if you buy the reprint of Surfin' the Highway.

Ashton · 04/24/2008, 01:32 pm

I'm just curious, were these the oroginal concepts or were these later, after the ones that were used were drawn? (i.e. which came first, these titles or the ones in-game?) Dont suppose anyone has a copy of the used ones for comparison?

I am totally confused as to what you are asking in this questions.

Zeek · 04/24/2008, 03:17 pm

Sounds like someone wants to know which came first as far as the titles go: The title of the episode as we know it or those long-winded alternative titles tagged on as the jokes.

Ashton · 04/24/2008, 05:42 pm

*Points up* Yep!

I did, but it's still sorta small on the page so I figure if I scanned it it wouldn't be the full-res shebang anyway.

It will be if your scanner has a de-screening option and the ability to scan at different DPIs to give the file a huge pixel size.

I don't know for sure since I wasn't involved in this process, but from the outside it appeared that the main titles for the episodes were created by the Brendan, Chuck, Dave Grossman, and Steve Purcell emailing each other a bunch of ideas until one stuck. Then, after the fact, Steve would make up a subtitle.

But actually, no, the Sam & Max episodes are all based on old holiday pamphlets and an ancient story where they meet a guy who sucks, etc.

Believe whichever you want!

Ashton · 04/26/2008, 03:38 am

I acctually thought it might be plausable that hte first comic WAS based on a short-story of steves, (first comic was subtitled "based on the short story 'sam and max meet soem badguys'") though it quickly went to rediculous (which is part of the charm of S+M)

204 is definitely my favorite. I don't really like 202 because in my opinion it doesn't really fit with the others, since it has screen shots and blue in it.
