Play it again, Sam! (err, and Max) [SM 1.01]
People who only play Culture Shock through one time risk missing a lot of little easter eggs in the game. A few weeks ago Brendan put together this list of things you may want to try the second time through. (I've played the game half a dozen times, and I never even found most of this stuff!)

Loved this one:
"I ran out of ideas..." - "You could always start all over again..."
I really think they're the greatest cartoon characters ever conceived.
...And I read a LOT of cartoons.
Second to them would be Calvin & Hobbes.
And then the Life in Hell characters by Matt Groening.
And then Bru & Boegie.
Nice Easter Eggs, by the way. I found some of them on my first play through.
Loved every second of it, except the driving sequence. The controls are almost non-existent. If that could be fixed in future releases, so much the better.
Sorry, I couldn't wait:D
You must have had a lot of things to say to have 100 posts!
Excellent
I see you live in Italy - Italians must have a lot of things to say!
That's somehow making me sad because all the adventures I played in recent years got me stuck at some point (due to badly designed puzzles mostly which is not a good thing... but it could have been due to complex puzzles, too) but there was nothing else to explore because they were very one-dimensional (Syberia, for example). Now with Sam and Max it seems that the world could be really fun even if you're stuck... but you just don't get stuck (not even in a good way). What a waste of ressources... maybe I'll feel inspired enough to replay it to experience all these things... but I doubt it.
You are one, clever clever man!
Seems like people from South Africa love to speak even more than "italians".
Anyway, did you check out the old case file at Sam & Max´s office? It has a date on it. Check it out. "That case was particularly gruesome." Luckily now we can laugh at things like this, thanks to Telltale.
Just wondering, is there any way to get the psycho-analysis to imply that Sam is gay? I mean, with the wedding cake and the weenie in the hole... Ya never know.
i can't get that one
Obligatory extra letters.
Nothing too explicit, but
And how about fruitcake and an empty closet? I have the feeling that all the references to gay-things are there on purpose, but Telltale didn´t want to make it too explicit.
(that thing about Sybil being happy for you, she says it in the other two instances too.)
When's the list for Situation: Comedy coming out? I need some replayability!
Now, Chewy... it's called Emetics and you really should try it!
just a funny thing somebody out there might have missed
