Any ideas?

We've had Hypnosis and Hell

What's next supernatural, with witches, curses, spells and cults?
Freakish Forms, with circus freaks, the deranged and mad, crazy cat lady?

Or maybe just something else beginning with H?


Any ideas, guys?

    I hope alternate universes are involved. That'd be fun.

    Although, it would confuse me with Sam and Max: Through Time and Space, it's still a neat idea.

    My thought exactly. Even more possibilities than time travel! (Which I mention since I tend to associate the two concepts with each other; you can thank Michael Crichton for that.) And for some reason, it seems like the next logical step from where we've been so far.

    The thought of "More aliens, perhaps?" also occurred to me. Followed by noticing today's Google main page:

    Coincidence?!! ... Yeah, probably. But glimpses of worlds beyond Sam & Max's little blue-green glob of terra firma could be neat (the Moon notwithstanding). The Mariachis purchased their spaceship from someone, after all. That said, I'd still much prefer alternative universes given these two choices.

    Sam and Max on other worlds

    I wonder if they go to a universe of other TV shows, films and etc.

    Before leaving, how about exploring this world. I'm thinking of a World Tour thingy where they give their unique take on international tourism and challenge some cliches while gloriously indulging in others. Drawn without reference material, naturally.

    I approve of this idea and would like to subscribe to its newsletter. :D

    Sci-Fi. I'd like them to put their own take on Fantastic Voyage, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, alternate universes etc.

    You mean like this?

    That's a little something I whipped up for a thread about what the season would be about like, two months ago.

    Yes! So that's where I saw that idea before. November, eh? We can only hope.

    I definitely was hopeful. It's funny, because, like you said, "drawn without any reference material", I had only played the demo of Culture Shock before making that!

    Visiting other telltale games. Helping strong bad slay trogdor, helping Bone out on something, making wallace and gromit freelance police officers, Helping Guybrush with the pox, and helping CSI solve a case in their funny way.

    Oh gee I hope not.

    Final Bosses don't usually make frequent appearances after they've been defeated. :(

    You're wrong. Hugh Bliss and the Soda Poppers dropped by a lot before their showdowns.

    Please no. He's cool. He's put polite, curt and monotone into an adorable mix. Kinda the opposite to the Soda Poppers.

    Sam & Max vs the Ku Klux Klan. They like Max but don't like Sam. Interesting possibilities abound.

    You don't understand. The Soda Poppers were recently defeated in What's New - they are the bosses of that finale, because they were the mastermind behind the whole season's eleobrate plot.

    You're probably thinking that they were defeated in Culture Shock, but Brady Culture is the boss of that episode, as he had hyponitised the Poppers as his pawns, to do his evil bidding (so techinically they're not bosses).

    Hugh Bliss - since his defeat, I can only recollect his appearance in What's New. Which is 1/5 of his possible appearances since Bright Side, so that shows he's not going to make many more appearances, besides being not such a popular character. And his calendar appearances don't count - as there was no Hugh Bliss voice acting.

    That's hilarous, seeing how they did touched upon goth culture, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Hoffa and etc. I could seeing that being an episode.

    I don't really know see how it would work though as a fully fledged story.

    Man am I glad you put spoiler tags on that paragraph or it would have completely ruined the second season for me! Phew!




    ...wait....:mad:

    I'm just going to not go into forums anymore of games I haven't beaten yet...

    I said before, not after! You said before originally too, which is why I said what I said.

    I would go on to mention how I meant we saw Hugh Bliss in every Season 1 episode except 101 & 103 etc. (even if it wasn't actually him in 105) but seeing as we've been talking at cross purposes, the last two posts (three if you include this one) are pointless.

    My apologies for sounding unfriendly. It's not intentional. I just like to get my point across.

    EDIT: Also, Myra was hypnotised but she's still the boss of 102.

    I'm really sorry - I feel really bad.

    I dunno, I kinda liked the season two style where nothing really fit together until the last two episodes, and how It really combined the themes of time and hell. The first season's total devotion to the hypnotizing theme got a little boring at the fourth episode, specially since almost every episode had Sam going "That person must be hypnotized!"

    Yeah, I agree - but season 1 felt like they were going on actual mysteries - season 2 was so random in its locations (but good! :D)
    I mean The North Pole, Easter Island, Stutgratt, Alien Spaceship, Hell? Not like the traditional American locations like The White House, Casino, Home for Child Stars and TV Studio. Although they did kind of run out of ideas when they moved onto the Internet and the Moon...I guess we won't see those close-to-earth locations anymore, like I said I'm pleased of the very different locations, but I wish they could have gradually phased out the more down-to-earth ones, that's all.

    Well, when you think about it, Hell WAS directly under their office. And being deep in Earth's core seems pretty "down to earth" to me. I do wish they had used the car more for transportation, though. Episodes one and three were the only times in season two where they drove the car for any reason other than the minigame. I was starting to miss the music that played as they jumped into the DeSoto and sped away. I mean, what's the point of having the totally pimped out car if you never get to show it off?

    I kinda liked the break from the norm, thinking outside the box.

    I enjoyed the break from the car. 3 episodes was enough to experiment with it. And I do not wish to drive again (except for those awesome mini games. :D)

    Moai Better Blues - "Easter" Island
    Night of the Raving Dead - Halloween
    Mariachis - BIRTHDAY!
    Hell - National Huntington's Disease Awareness Day, or, June 6th, Which is 2/3 the number of the beast.
