Ice Station Santa - play it again for Christmas!
One of the many great reasons for releasing Ice Station Santa in November was that you can now replay it in December and get that warm, Christmasy feeling inside all over again. Sam & Max designer extraordinaire Brendan Q. Ferguson has come up with another great list of things to try on your second play through. So grab some egg-nog, put on your warm, fuzzy slippers, and curl up in front of your PC for another few hours of holiday cheer.

Also, I wondered if the "What's the rush? It's the middle of november!" was tied to the actual date you're playing. If I finish the game on Christmas eve, does it still say that?
I'm going to try it at max hint level, Max will talking non-stop I suppose
About the hint-level I once had it on #1 which I think is lowest but I still got an easy hint very quickly? Specifically I didn't realise I could search *past* Stinky's and didn't find the 4th horseman as a result, but when I return to the pole I pretty much immediatly got a 'hint' that the horseman was still on the car. While that was true it struck me as a bit too much hint at that level? (I turned hints of again after that, just needed the one past stinky)
As for the rest, I thought I found everything on my second and third runs through, but now I'm gonna have to play it again!
there is an overhead picture of telltales office building circled in the "could it all be coming from here?" picture :rolleyes:
there are a lot of things in game that have fine detail like that, and can only be seen at high resolution....
*Dangerzone starts keeping a loaded shotgun by the door.... just in case*
It's only creepy that you recognized an ariel view of our office by signt. (Fortunately, that's the old office!). There's a reference to the location of our old office in 201's dialog as well.
How did you know what their offices looked like from an ariel view?
as for the conspiracy wall... i may play 201 again in a few days to refreshen it in my mind before i play 202, i will get a nice shot of it for you guys (provided a telltale employee doesnt show some love and post a pic first) because as i do recall... a big portion of it is blocked by the junk in front of the wall
(off topic, but you guys may find this intresting none the less.... apparently satellite images are considered classified untill they have been gone over by some goverment comission to declare that there is nothing harmfull or classified in the images (like people skinny dipping)... and i did sign a waiver saying that what i was seeing was classified at the time, this is why most satellite images on google and other sites are always several years old... but despite this, according to him, live satellite images are actually a very easy resorce to tap into, and are begining to be used by local police agencies to track criminals on the run in live time)
P.S.
Is that you know, the place, with the thing?
the first is the main shot... the second is a composite of other views of the wall gotten from clicking on other things around the wall (sorry for the huge size... figured i would just post this way so your guys could see them at full resolution, but i did compress the size a bit)
IT"S DRIVING ME MAD
Imagine my surprise when it turns up in Chariots of the Dogs. Sadly Abe doesn't like mail so that ironic footbath won't reach him.
did you give Jimmy his "trophy" or Stinky's sock
did you throw a snowball at Santa or the Shambling corporate presence
