Something regarding the ending of the recent episode

There are more than one. Presumably, two. I finished the game from scratch the second time and got a different ending. Although the outcome is pretty much the same, actions differ, some lines differ, and
Sam and Max's fate differs as they may choose to stay in this timeline, OR go cruise other timelines.

Anyone else got this?

    It's if you choose "adventuring" or "crimefighting".

    I'm definately playing through again tonight to get the other ending.
    I didn't like the time cruising ending, it's..well, it seems like abandonment. They essentially left everything in this season behind, meaning it'd probably never get mentioned again, which sucks, because there's so many memorable characters and events in this season to NOT mention again.

    When Yog-Soggoth announces to Sam that the Max's tumor is beginning to be fulled of dark matter!

    How did we come to know that that was the cause within a day?

    That's pretty incredible.

    Well, I kind of finished the episode twice, in the same day it was released (and my personal gimmick, I always try choosing wrong/different stuff in my second playthrough), and when I was back someone else was able to beat me to open a thread about two endings. It didn't surprise me much when someone else was able to deduce what the trigger event was in that same day.

    Strange... Wasn't Chuck Jordan who said that he would avoid different paths in games, only to focus on that genious moment in game design where you say "Oh, Snap!"?

    Considering that two endings don't differ much in theirselves, and two paths getting apart only in the last scene of the entire game; I think this was an easy exception, and a pretty reasonable one.

    I personally prefer the time cruising one. Its more open-ended and broadens the possibilities for a season 4. Where did they go? What are they gonna do? Will they come back?
    The biggest thing here is the paradox is partially fixed because now only one pair of Sam and Max exist. But I'm still concerned about the character development that our Max had!

    Sam:This case is tougher than the time Jurgen turned us to Zombies.
    Max: Ehhh, who?
    Sam:.....never mind
