Sam and Max 2: Reloaded

CamelToes writes "Sam and Max 2 is not dead! According to a Gamespot article, the team that was working on bringing the new Sam n' Max adventure game 'has formed a new studio called Telltale Games. The San Rafael-based developer will concentrate on re-energizing the adventure game market.' Amazing what an on-line petition will do these days."

  3. About San Rafael.... by simetra · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here's something to try. Really, it works.

    Some time when you're around someone from San Rafael, pronounce the Rafael as it should be pronounced: Raw-fie-ell.

    They'll spin around really fast and correct your pronunciation: SAN RUH-FELL !!!!!

    Really, it's amazing.

    I propose an online petition, if they are truly amazing, requesting:

    1) A spell and gramme checker for the editors of slashdot.
    2) No more dupes.
    3) More Cowboy Neal poll choices
    4) No more censorship of the line '????' before 'profit'.

    Yeah, though it looks like they're going to make more 3-D adventure games, Sam and Max 2 may not be one of them, from the article:

    GS: How is your working relationship with LucasArts today? Is there one?

    DC: We have lots of friends over there, but on a business level it's hard to get traction. They are very focused on dealing with what's in front of them. So unfortunately there is none, which is sad because we really love those old licenses, and of course Sam and Max. We do chat with Steve Purcell from time to time.

    So wishful thnking if they can iron something out with Lucas Arts, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Although I do hope their company gets off the ground and provides some qualtiy Sam and Max alternatives.

    Just like you don't say "bom bar die eh" when talking of those who control the release of bombs from planes. It's an American word, and we have our own pronounciation.

    Oh, I get it now. So that's what all this "new-cue-ler" stuff Bush talks about is all about. It's American.

  11. Things I learned from Sam and Max by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    The game was wonderful and I am elated that there may be more on the way. The comics were life-changing, too. I think the most important things that Steve Purcell had to tell us were:

    1) That vermin are just like everyone else, or vice versa.
    2) That friendship means more than the lives of innnocent bystanders.
    3) That the best parts are the neck and the face.

    And of course there is the discovery of the connection between rabbity things, mindless violence, and DeSotos. And to watch out for those South American corn dogs.
