Enjoy!

I'm curious about the contract Grandpa Stinky had in the display case. I bet we'll be seeing him again.
well it was at night but still...i wanted to drive at night
it was so awesome
This episode was really nice, deep and different, with a good and fun story and moments
It was also nice with the jokes, humor and max was alot more active in this episode, really hope this is something you will keep on working with, instead of just having max run around like in the other episodes
1. When we get to Season 3, will it be released on September 6 so that we can see ourselves trade the boxing betty for the egg from the other direction, or will that just sortof vanish into the depths of time?
2. Will we get to see ourselves take that sleigh from 201 in the next episode?
3. What exactly did we do to the continuity here? As far as I can tell, we essentially split Sam & Max's timeline in half: the first instances of themselves were born sometime in the 70s and went up to about half-way through 102, at which point they got jumped through the future to the spaceship and blown up when the ship caused the Big Bang.
The second were born in an alternate causalty, and entered this timestream on the spaceship, sent themselves back to 102 and lived through the rest of season 1 and the first half of season 2.
Wasn't it stated that Max had a short lifespan? And yet, 100 years into the future, he's still young and frisky. (although apparently blind, judging by the Geordi glasses)
And in issue #105 of The Unremarkable Adventures of Swede-Man, wasn't The Crimson Flallop killed by Dr. Limpet in the Peruvian Antechambers? Continuity, man!
Now, I wish I could get in a time machine to go to the future and see 205! Even better, go to the Intergalactic Freelance Police and see all the episodes released until then!
It's hard to say any episode is a favorite---they are all good!
oh and it looks like i was right that we would not be seeing the cops for a car upgrade in this episode as well, but i am not complaining... the change of how we got around in this episode was a welcome diversion from the usual
i like how most of the re-occuring locations had some new things and atmosphere to them, such as the new inverted color scheme for the oval office... i wonder how many people noticed it, and the 80's version of stinkys really brought back nightmar, erm... memories for me :rolleyes:
only thing i am sad that so much of the office was blocked off in the episode (the closet, the items by the phone table, etc.) i can only hope we get to click everything again in episode 5 (if the office is in the episode at all)
i also liked how there was always a change of scenery for each puzzle, and overall this episode had the most locations of any episode so far i believe, and even though each location was small, and did not have much to them... they add up, and overall it is a unique experience that we have not seen in a while
i am glad we saw just enough of the old characters to get a few laughs but not too much that they get old and we never want to see them again (viva la soda poppers), and the few new characters were ok as well, (but i was tired of them by the time i was done) but it does seem that the grandpa stinky character was kinda thrown together (he has flint papers jeans and arms (simply retextured with tattoos), and a head that closely resembles Lucius from the bone games (so all thats new is his torso, because i am sure i saw his sailor hat somewhere as well)
sadly i found the humor somewhat lacking in the episode, i was smiling the whole way though with all the goofy plot twists and odd occurances, but i rarely found myself laughing on the floor like i did with 203, it seems they were trying to tell a compelling story, more than making people laugh
the difficulty curve is even higher than in previous episodes, and aside from episode 2... the season is making a nice progression from hard to difficult... and the length of the game is perfect as well, it could have done with a time wasting mini-game to give it some more length and replay value...
overall this is a very strong episode, but sadly i cannot say it is one of my favorites, i like how it explained a lot (even some things that we did not care about, or expect to have explained) and this was the first episode to leave us with a true "cliffhanger" where the story will have to be directly continued from the point it left off in the next episode
Now that that's out of the way, the only thing that really disappointed me was no driving minigame. Everything else was hilarious
Do you?
YES! FINALLY! I was waiting for someone to relate to. All those sweet Crash Bandicoot jokes they could have made. And who wouldn't have got them? Crashs following is as large as Master Chiefs! Right?!?!?!
One of my favourite lines had to be past bango-playing Sam shouting out "I can't shoot future me!".
Best episode this season (possibly of all time - possibly) without doubt.
By the way, was Future Sam's wheelchair a homage to Davros?
Anyway, this episode has to be my favorite EVER...so far. And I don't think it has anything to do with my hispanic heritage.
(goes to crack up about Banang some more)
I've never benn that excited to play the next episode after I just finished one.
great cliffhanger
Just finished this episode, I'm kinda proud of myself, because I did it in record time! I bought 204 at around 4:30 or so, and it's 8:19 now, just played it straight thru - didn't even pause to go to the bathroom
Good episode, very funny, and I tried as many things as I could for the "did you try?" stuff, haven't read the "did you try?" thing thoe, so I dunno how much I missed - heh.
I liked sending past max and past sam back to 2008 to ask superball about the time traveling phonebooth, until I realized I actually NEEDED to do it! lol
On the difficulty scale, I actually thought this one was too easy, too straight forward :-/ Nothing was like "off the scale?" sort of, does that make sense?
- R
Yeah, but he only had the video tape of a chicken eating manure, and not a recording contract.
Now we just have to wait for the episode 5 to see where this all goes.
