Space Gorilla

edited December 2009 in Sam & Max
Now, we know that there is to be a power-hungry space gorilla in the new game, but what the heck is a power-hungry space gorilla? I think we need to obsess about this ridiculously before Telltale posts a trailer or something.

My guess? Escapee from the Galactic Zoo of Chromitron 12.

    Hmmm....I think I have came up with a possible theory.

    @adventureaddict: It ain't Planet of the Apes without Roddy McDowell :(

    *Gasp!* Perhaps some alien being has taken control of his mind and Max must use his psychic powers to turn him back to good?

    or maybe....the space gorilla is Sgt. Blips brother, and through utter defeat at the hands of his brother. Sgt Blip enlists the help of Sam&Max.

    Help me Max y Sam. You're my only hope!

    I'm just wondering how Max gets his psychic powers...thats what gots me the most intrigued.

    ^He's always had it as far as I can think, that's why he's immune to hypnosis and why he can levitate coffee mugs.

    As for the Space Gorilla, it's obviously a power mad person who wants to rule the universe.

    I think thats because of the metal plate in his head.

    Hang on - Blip is a chimpanzee. How could a gorilla be a chimpanzee's brother?

    Yes, I am over thinking this.

    Perhaps the Space Gorilla is a contact of Lactose the Intolerant?

    Second cousing, thrice removed?

    Or Maybe Lactose the Intolerant and the Uglions have something to do with it...how my mind wanders, over the possibilities

    That wasn't because he was the most agressive and chaotic thing in earth (And the only one cappable to stop Hugh Bliss) and, since Hugh Bliss made all those hynotic devices, that make him invulnerable somehow?

    (Any way, I didn't get the part of the gorilla. The narrator has a weird accent, and that is already beyond my English Level (I mean, I took a whole day to catch that Powah or something were "power". I mean, It's easy when you read it, but when you "hear" them... no))

    I think Rather Dashing wrote down all the quotes in the beginning of the Sam and Max 2010 thread, Ginny, if you want to look them up. They are all overly dramatic yet intriguing!

    I think Max got his psychic powers as a prize in a cereal box.

    Well, I did miss one. There's one quote that seems to come up almost randomly if you click around after the last one. I don't know how to duplicate it, but I did hear it. Shwoo transcribed that last one about three posts after my own. Anyway, here is my post, for anyone interested.

    I think found them in the large intestine of an unruly criminal. How they got there, and how he got to them, is another story all in itself. Because of this, we can consider Sam and Max to be Season Four, with the gruesome Season Three to be developed by Rockstar Games to create a more "Manhunt"-esque atmosphere. Note that none of the website materials say "Season Three"!

    Tales IS MI5! Oh, *ahem* sorry, sorry. Does anyone else think Sam and Max might actually be horrible sharp-shooters? I always kind of imagine them going in, guns blazing, but not really caring about what they may or may not hit. I just don't see Max taking the time to actually aim.

    I think that Sam's aim is alright. He obviously "hit"
    Hugh Bliss
    at the end of Season One, and there have been a few puzzles that required him to shoot something accurately.

    Max probably CAN shoot accurately, if fueled by a pure enough malice. Like if the target was wearing a shirt in a color that Max particularly didn't like, or if they used a word he didn't understand. Otherwise, you're likely right, he lacks the concentration.

    Yeah, that's pretty much how I figure it, too ... although you do have to admit
    hitting Hugh Bliss wasn't the world's most difficult shot.
    But Sam would be passing fair, I guess. Max, not so much. Max with a knife, on the other hand ...

    "Space gorilla". I swear, only Steve Purcell's work is bizarre enough to get away with that kind of thing.

    Well, that and Japan, because in Japan you can kick gorillas into space.

    Well, NASA's work came close with Ham the Space Chimp. :p

    Actually, looks like Jacques the magnetic monkey in Tales of Monkey Island owes something to Ham as well:

    In his pre-flight training, Ham was taught to push a lever within five seconds of seeing a flashing blue light; failure to do so would result in an application of positive punishment in the form of a mild electric shock to the soles of his feet, while a correct response earned him a banana pellet.

    See beginning of S2E4. The answer lies in there ;)

    It reminds me of Hit the Road.

    Bruno the Bigfoot, Space Gorilla... Both hairy and monstrous. Well, I ASSUME a space gorilla is monstrous. Unless they pull of a "possibilities are endless, so... here's an infant gorilla" joke or something.

    Because it was only spoken maybe he ment guerilla. This concept seems slightly more dull though.

    I do believe they actually comment about it in Night of the Raving Death:

    "Max: To the head! it's the only way to keep them down!
    Sam: Quiet Max, with our aim we're lucky to hit them at all"

    And the first two pages of On the Road are in fact pretty descriptive about it.

    But, let's say they have aim when the script said they do have. In other circunstances, I don't think so.

    It's also brought up when
    Sam is in Hell
    in 205.
    Sam: (Shoots at the rope holding the safe above Demon Peepers' head) Missed! Satan must have messed up my aim, to torment me!
    Demon Peepers: But Sam, you're a lousy shot in real life, too!
    Sam: I said, Satan must have messed up my aim.

    Anyway, I agree. He's a good shot when the plot calls for it.

    Sam, Max and Flint break into Bosco's shop and start shooting wildly. When they discover that this hasn't solved their problem, they realise that they'll have to try a more difficult, less fun solution.

    That are
    all the detective skills they do know. At least Flint has good aim with zombies
    .
