Hey, just so you all know, there are some EXTREMELY spoilery reviews showing up for 205, so definitely avoid the reviews this time around them if you don't want the end of the game ruined.

    yeah.. i would add my thoughts on the game to somewhere on this forum, but there is absolutely nothing i can say about the episode that is not a spoiler... other than the fact that it is awesome (sorry guys)

    Hmm... how can I rave about 205 without spoilers?

    I'll have to settle for: "That was epic!" :D

    I thought it was the best episode of the season, but not as good as Episode 106.

    I think it's better than the last 10 episodes.

    Ah, but
    in the last episode, if you talk to Superball-of-the-present long enough in the office, there's a foreboding exchange - Sam says something to the effect of "After working for Jurgen, it must be nice working for the good guys again," and Superball replies, more or less, "Oh. Yes, the, uh, 'good' guys. Right." So Telltale is probably saving him as a villain for Season 3.

    This Episode = Best episode in the series. What a way to close! Haha
    Peepers eyes floating around in the lava = priceless.

    Well the thread already says this is spoilery so i wont bother with tags. TAKE THAT POPPERS! DIE, DIE, DIE! Also there was hardly a thing about the midtown cowboys movie. I was hoping jurgen or featherly would say something about it. You tricked me, 205 trailer!

    Mhmmm, but
    did anyone notice the other cubicle in hell? You can't get to it until the endgame with the popper, but where Max answers the phone, i'm sure the nametag says 'Chuckles'. Probably not to do with Supes though, perhaps something they removed? Superball still got a few mysteries though!

    Chuckles was the secret service agent with the president in 104 and I think he had something to do with the toy mafia in 103. He was riding on the shoulder of the Abe Lincoln statue when it was blown up at the end of 104. He pops up from behind the cubicle wall when Satan is demoting Brady Culture and then wanders over the to kitchen never to be seen again.

    Good episode. Quite hard and a lot wider than previous episodes which is good.
    Getting out of Sam's personal hell could have been more difficult,
    but there is a lot to see when played again. It's best to save at both "ends" of the game when stuck cause moving between
    the street
    and
    diorama room
    takes a long time.
    *%/& Poppers
    !!! Can't wait for Season 3.

    Ah, yeah, I remember him - though I must say I missed his appearance in 205 altogether! Cheers!

    As for
    getting out of Sam's personal hell
    , I rather liked the solution! It took me absolutely ages to figure out, because it's so obvious! I thought of trying it early on, but guessed that that would be far too easy, so kept hunting! It's a nice touch to twist expectations!

    Yeah, as soon as I saw the safe hanging from the ceiling I figured there would be some ridiculous Rube Goldberg-ing involved to destroy Demon Peepers, and I thought it was hillarious that all you actually had to do was get Max in there. XD

    Ditto. They should do more misdirection puzzles like that. :)

    Just wanted to drop in and say that you guys really knocked this season out of the ball park... All the episodes were extremely solid-only 2 was a bit on the weak side, but still great- and this finale was just fantastic some truly epic and disturbing shit.

    And the best part is that it feels like you guys are JUST hitting your stride. Things are only gonna uphill from here. I seriously can't wait for the next season. Thanks a lot for bringing back an awesome dead genre back into prominence. :)

    I FOUND AN ERROR!!
    After you switch the lists with Hugh Bliss, Timmy says "melon" unbleeped even though it is on the list. Same goes for the line in Max Max World in Stinky's diner.

    OLD NEWS. Will and Scott totally drank your milkshake, dude. They found that one MONTHS ago. ;)

    But as I explained:
    Timmy says "melon-farmer." The word on the list is "melons." It's completely different.

    And also:
    Voice had already been recorded, on the day there was a big storm in the Bay Area so it couldn't be rescheduled. I told Will & Scott that if anybody complained on the forums, I'd be the one to take the fall.

    Friggin Sam & Max are wicked awesome. Particurarly this last episode

    Every night before I fall asleep I thank God that someone had sense enough to bring them back from the depths of cancellation.

    In this highly corporate world where people who have no idea what the hell they are doing make decisions based on graphs, charts and heaven forbid Market trends and kill original and great artistic efforts, its great to see this GEM of a series break through.

    Heh just realized I just kind of mimicked the theme of the last episode lol.

    What does "voice had already been recorded" have to do with failing to bleep something? Does someone actually have to stand in the recording booth with a buzzer? :p

    Err, if we bleeped Timmy saying "melon," then you wouldn't get the idea that we'd changed the situation so that he's no longer bleeped.

    I got it when I talked to him again and noticed his dialouge tree changed. The first question I asked was how he was feeling, and boy was I smiling when I discovered he was unbleeped. :D

    Here's a question.
    How did the model volcano get into the office between episode 204 and 205? Sam and Max couldn't have done it in either episode, and I don't know who else would have.

    Surely season one Sam & Max did it on their time traveling adventures which you never saw, after stealing the time machine from Embarrassing Idol. ¬ ¬ Yeah, thats it.

    Was that a defensive developer rationalization, or a fanboy one?

    It's great! It's awesome! It's Sam & Max!

    Really liked all the time traveling and paradox stuff and of course the Stinky Mystery which was solved quite.....unusually :)

    I have told all my friends to support the game and I of course will buy the 3rd season, too. When will Season 3 come out?

    Season 1 started in 2006, ended 2007, Season 2 started in 2007 and ended in 2008... actually, my best bet is either very late this year, or sometime in 2009.
