...As a history major...

I can honestly say that this is the best Sam and Max episode ever! All the inside jokes that only a historian would get make this episode twice as funny.

I am going to force all of my history major friends to get out of the library and buy this game!

Thanks, Telltale.

/Maybe over Spring Break I'll get about explaining all of the inside references.
//But probably not.

    Nice to hear, and quite typical indeed. As a mathematician I found it quite funny when Max said "I have not so much a personality matrix as a personality vector". You'd have to be quite the homo universalis to get absolutely every joke in Sam and Max. Why, even looking up such words as Lagomorph and Ptomaine can enhance your experience quite a bit.

    I agree

    ... and, apparantly, I have to type 10 letters for my response to count. Pfft.

    Yeah, I agree, being a history student as well (hi!). But I assume most Americans have received a patriotic enough education to get most of the jokes as well.

    Sadly, you're wrong on that front, Haggis. I think a typical 13 year old in Europe knows more about the US government than a college student here.

    "We have a government?"

    If that's what you want to call it, yes.

    Sam:
    "...the presedent of the united state!"

    Max:
    "Who?"

    And still he
    can remember 100 digits in PI
    , that little guy really never stops to suprise me.

    I know, it is impressive... I only know
    21 digits
    .

    This thread has inspired me to tell my history major cousin about these games... it also doesn't hurt that he is from North Dakota.

    Pah! I knew five hundred decimal places back in high school. And that's nothing compared to the Japanese man who could memorize 100,000.

    Don't you wish you could put that on a resume and have it count for something? :p
