Machinima Shorts

Rubber JohnRubber John
edited April 2007 in Sam & Max
I was wondering if it is / will be possible to download and keep all of the Machinima Shorts that sit between Sam & Max episodes.

It would be a shame for them to just disapear, never to be seen again.

Or are they already available and I'm just being blind?

    You need something like VLC to play them and since flash video support is experimental it might not work at all.

    I still don't see an official gallery. I could very well be suffering from blindness though. Anyway here is where to get number 4:

    Still need VLC to play them though, unless someone knows of a better flash video file player.

    I can't find any info on this. Are these just cutscenes from the game? Do they have anything to do with the plot of the game?

    I haven't played either episode yet (I won't until the whole season is complet), and I don't want to see any spoilers.

    They're short clips taking place in between episodes. Definitely spoilerrific, so I'd wait to watch them until you play the episodes

    Don't watch #4 (the one that's on the Sam & Max page right now) if you haven't played episode 2 yet. One of the characters from ep2 is revealed and we think the game is a lot funnier if you don't know about him until you encounter him in the game. (For the record, this is why we waited until after the game had been out about 10 days before posting machinima #4 on our site.)

    Other than that, they won't spoil the games for you. They don't give away any plot points.

    I agree with that - his entrance in the game was a wonderful moment.

    I really think that the attention paid by telltale to the between episodes experience is just superb! :)

    Thanks for putting the WMV's up! Our internet bandwidth in South Africa is a bit shoddy, so it was impossible for me to watch it otherwise!

    Thanks again!:cool:

    It doesn't give away plot points, but they use locations and props that might be considered spoiler-y
    for example, you can clearly see the broken hypno-bear stashed in Sam and Max's closet, and in Machinima 3, the fact that it takes place outside of Brady's hideout kinda ruins the the plot, since the more eagle-eyed of viewers can easily figure out what's going on by reading the marquee and whatnot

    A spoiler for a location in episode 1 at this point is pretty fair game in my opinion. There are reviews in magazines with huge chunks of the page dedicated to a screenshot of that location. Not much you can do.

    is pretty new though, so yeah.

    Yeah, that last short is really "off the wall" in the way that some of the Sam & Max 1 page comics used to be. Captures that feel perfectly!

    Is that a new funky tune at the end of that short?

    I noticed the funky tune at the end of machinima ep 5 as well. It sounds really cool. :) Maybe it is for the next episode's soundtrack?
  • numblenumble

    Any thought to putting the shorts and/or trailers on Youtube? It might be a potential semi-viral marketing opportunity.

    Depends on what you'd call "new". It sounds to me like a (more dramatic) remix of the office theme.

    Thanks. I already watched the first two, but I'll wait on the others.

    Yep. It's the music Myra's show plays for Sam & Max as they walk on stage.

    Can we download the shorts like we could with 1 and 2?

    I have a really big problem with the video viewers for machinima shorts and interim theatre. When I view a clip in your video viewer, I can't pause it, so I have to see it while it pauses and loads every 5 second, which is really annoying, and makes it hard to follow the conversation..

    The trailer viewer lets me pause, and so does the machinima short that's displayed on the ep. 3 site.

    Can you please fix this? :(
  • JakeJake Telltale Alumni
    edited January 2007
    It should be fixed on Monday. It's a stupid workaround but if you right click on the video, then left-click, it will register your clicks. I'm not sure why the machinima and interim theater clips in particular are acting up - none of the other video players are like that... and it's only in Firefox from what I can tell. Anyway, it will be dug into Monday when people are back in the office. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

    Am I the only one that is having trouble watching the entire clip for the new one on Gametap? It stops after Sam adds the second ingredient for me, same place every time. Any ideas what could cause that? I have watched all the other ones with no problems.

    Any chance of a high quality of "Sam & Max Interim Theater: The Phone"?

    (Trying to avoid requesting xvid avi instead of wmv ;) )

    Machinima 6 is up on gametap.

    http://www.gametap.com/home/samMax/videos.html

    But for some reason the video cuts off when Sam is about to present the "special ingredient". Anyone else with the same problem?

    Problem solved, since it's now on our site as well!

    Oh hahah unless you mean that it goes black? It's supposed to. Note how it flickers and stuff. It's because Sam blew something up.

    Baking a file into a cake is pretty standard " classic break out of prison" procedure, and has existed as a joke since well before Monkey Island. Buuuut... it might also be a reference! Who knows?

    Wierd how it turned black ten-twenty seconds earlier in the gametap version... This time, it made more sense :p
