Site stuff!

Sunday, November 5th, 2006 by David

For those of you who waited more than a decade to play Sam and Max Hit the Road, I have put our updated .EXE file back online to facilitate playing the game on modern-style computers. You’ll still need all the game data to play the game, potential software pirates; this is only the program that runs all the stuff you should already have. Anyway, have fun, don’t steal, and buckle up, we love you!

Thanks to Sunfox for reminding me about this.

Emily M. spoils dinner with Easter eggs

Saturday, November 4th, 2006 by David

Over on the Telltale official forums, community guru Emily Morganti has posted a thread detailing some spoilerific ways to find some of Culture Shock’s hidden tidbits. Ugh, did I just say “spoilerific”? Anyway, it’s well worth a read if you’re already looking for some replay value in the first Sam & Max Episode.

No news equals RSS reminder!

Friday, November 3rd, 2006 by David

After that little burst of news over the last few days, I’m kind of sad that there’s nothing to really talk about today. Despite the fact that the site is powered by WordPress now, I will try to avoid posting anything that sounds too blog-y to fill space.

I just wanted to reassure you all that this site is totally with the times. In case you didn’t notice the links at the bottom of the site, we have an RSS feed for you all to enjoy and incorporate into your home pages and syndication readers and other scary things like that. If I have some free time next week, I will try to put up a couple more content pages related to Culture Shock.

How’s my driving? As always, you can leave some feedback in comments or on our forums. The lack of Jake telling me what to do is a bit unnerving.

Steve Purcell’s put up another page of the Sam and Max web comic, “The Big Sleep”, over at the official Telltale Games site. If this is the first time you’re hearing about Steve’s new series, you might want to start with the first issue. Hope everyone’s enjoying Culture Shock so far! It’s really good, isn’t it?

Culture Shock is out!

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006 by David

Woooooo! For those of you too unwilling or un-American to try Sam and Max: Culture Shock when it came out a few weeks ago on Gametap, your wait is over! The first Sam and Max PC game in over a decade is now available to the entire world simply by following this link. Or this one! Again, it’s only $8.95 for Episode 1 if you are uncertain about making the commitment to the new series. The rest of us can order up the whole season. Whatever your preference, get to it!

Many congratulations to Telltale on getting the game out, and out on time.

Totally his 26th today.

We’re Back!

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 by David

Hey everyone! We’re back online, the day before Telltale releases Sam and Max: Culture Shock worldwide! Sorry for the downtime that lasted a little longer than the other Mixnmojo network pages, but we wanted to do a little bit better than just rebuilding the outdated content that we had. There’s a little more explanation over here.

Anyway, there won’t be too much to see on this site for awhile, apart from a lot of news, which you can now make comments on! Our forums are still alive, as they have been throughout the various down times, and we’ve managed to input the site’s archives into a high-tech database thing, and have located some previously missing news content. Check it out!

Play Culture Shock!

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 by Bryan

Where have we been? Oh yeah, downtime. Anywho, Culture Shock has been out on GameTap since October 17th, so you could mosey on over there and create an account to play the new Sam & Max game, or you could take Telltale up on their generous offer to pre-order Season One in its entirety for the low, low price of $34.95 and play Culture Shock starting tomorrow! Happy Halloween indeed!

Ahoy there! In case you haven’t noticed, the Telltale store has been busy loading up with all kinds of Sam and Max related paraphernalia. They still have the DeSoto shirts and poster prints on sale, with new and exciting additions such as the Age of S&M sketchbooks and Max & Crossbones shirts and hats!

Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy. And be happy.
