Season 3: What YOU Want
With Telltale hard at work on the Homestar Runner games, we probably have some time before they start too much work on Season 3 of Sam & Max. With all that said, I think it'd be fun to make some kind of a "wish list" of things we might like to see in future installments of the Freelance Police. Other games have had wish lists written by fans and I've seen on some occasions (such as City of Heroes) where those prayers were answered.
So, here's a few things I wouldn't mind seeing, if it's possible. Feel free to add your own thoughts:
-The return of Conroy Bumpus, from Hit the Road (unless there are legalities that prevent this).
-Finally, finally, FINALLY meeting the Mayor. Maybe have to get to his office to hear the latest case (and then, of course, a puzzle to be solved to get there and maybe to be used later in that episode or season).
-A meeting between Jimmy Two-Teeth and the cat from the beginning of Hit the Road (I loved that sarcastic little bastard).
-The revenge of...Leonard! He's free! He's out! And probably ticked off!
-Being able to control Max. I have two suggestions/ideas for this:
1) An entire episode in control of Max (maybe to rescue Sam?)
2) Being able to switch between the two of them, similar to Day of the Tentacle?
-Guest appearance by Steve Purcell, himself! Either playing himself or just providing a character voice.
-A Hollywood-related episode where Sam & Max, similar to Jay & Silent Bob, try to get more money and recognition for Midnight Cowboys (we DID see a movie trailer!)

1. Superball is the villan of this season
2. A whole episode in which you play as Max
3. An episode where the two visit their old pals, the Toy Mafia
4. Have Max win the re-election campaign (maybe against Obama?)
5. More Leonard abuse!
6 Another trip to hell!
That about sums it up. The series launches in January from what I've heard.
Done! He's it.
See, now you don't even need to play the season because it's revealed!
We're not even close to starting on, much less deciding on, much less announcing, a release timeframe more specific than "Early 2009." I would hate to see people going around saying, "But I read on the internets that it was gonna be out in January what gives TTG why are you late you suck so bad!!!!"
2) Killer robot hyenas with death-ray eyes that are under the control of the puppet president.
3) The idea of Superball being a villian is a great idea! That guy reminds me of Mr. Smith in The Matrix movies, and Mr. Smith really scares me. Plus, he was able to erase Sam&Max's memories which is even more suspicious.
4) Sam&Max's possessed Desoto becomes a deadly monster truck!
5) A mysterious criminal has stolen an ancient Mayan calander which has the power to control natural disasters. Could Sam&Max recover the calander before thier neighborhood gets sucked up in a giant twister?!
I'd pay cold, hard cash for these things to happen. How about an "Abuse Leonard" mini-game?
Ah. Good timing on this wish list, then!
another cool idea would be to have portions of the episodes where the 2 of them separate and do things on their own (ex. have a vent that only max can climb through to open a door)
and as i said in another thread i would really like to see their world evolve/degrade as the episodes go on...
oh, and throw in a crash bandicoot joke somewhere along the line... im surprised they have not made fun of those games yet too
2 achievements since their already in SBG4CAP.
3 More Easter eggs.
4 Museum like in Yoshi island DS.
5 A better road.
6 A competition or auction that makes it possible for you to be in the game.
7 More minigames.
Adam West Cameo
Doesn't he make special appearances only in cartoons?
Wouldn't that get the game banned?
Why would it?
I'd like to see a possible love interest for Sam, (which would probably turn out to be Max, but still) and more jokes centred around the characters. Some of the best moments in S&M are character-driven, like the stag party in 205 and "The Invaders" in the animated series.
As for stuff returning from the previous seasons, I'd like to see a few characters come back, as it feels nice to have a sort of community in the S&M universe. If Stinky's, Sybil's or Bosco's return, they should be more populated. It's rather unsettling that Sam and Max are the only people who ever go in.
Also, Jurgen MUST return.
And vice-versa!
Maybe they could go for Susi with Godzilla.
that wouldn't be a fight it'd be a walkover
*cough* turtles *cough*
Or the police don't agree on SM's methods!
More Hugh Bliss!
More out of country locations. Like, Japan and Australia.
Let Sam learn martial arts and fight ninja monkey pirates.
They did, in the cartoon. They took the recently decommissioned Megamax 9000 to Japan where it could live in peace amongst the other giant robots and monster mutants. That episode includes the quote "wow, that's a big nipple," which continues to surprise me.
I don't think that was banned so much as people were angry about it.
His voice was in the video game Thirteen
Possible death of the convertible
Return of Bosco's antics from season 1, I miss them
Less cluttered environments... There were a lot of new areas with a lot of things to look at in Season 2, but most of the stuff was useless, it made it a bit confusing for me.
Less Sybil...
Less Abe...
More old Stinky
Rope (Charlie Bronson's always got rope)
Cluttered environments are a key ingredient in the world of Sam & Max and always have been since the first comic in the late 80's! If anything we need more of it!
Also it does make the game more challenging (leading me to look at cheats but anyho)
As for the Hugh Bliss suggestion, can I make a cameo so I can kill the Bliss by stabbing him repeatedly in the eye?
