Sam & Max General Discussion

Player_2Player_2
edited May 2011 in Sam & Max
I don't know about anyone else, but there tend to be about twenty moments every day where I think of something Sam & Max related that I want to share with other people, like a question or opinion or theory about the series; except I don't know anyone (except for my brother and an online friend of mine that I've forced to become my Sam & Max buddy) that I can turn to during moments like this, since in my school, I'm alone with my Sam & Max obsession.

I've gotten sick of starting a new topic for every Sam & Max related...thing...that I might want to talk to others about, so I just started this sort of blanket thread. If there's anyone out there who's ever felt the same way, feel free to talk about whatever in here, as long as it somehow connects to Sam & Max. There's no such thing as "off-topic" here.

    So, this is basically "The "Whatever's on your mind about Sam and Max" thread"?

    I really think the TF2 thread should be moved to General Chat, but it's good to catch the hoarders where they're going. Also, apperently the DVDs being late is not TTG's fault.

    That video is a sign of a very bored household.

    My General Sam & Max contribution? It's that every time I eat at a seafood restaurant, I hope they have a menu item named "Salmon Max", which would be so fun to order. Hasn't happened yet.

    General Thoughts? Well, I really should write down all the notes I have for psychics and elder gods and what have you for Sam & Max. Or, maybe I shouldn't, since those will probably never be mentioned again in the series.

    This is as good a place as any to mention this. Yesterday night, I had a dream that I was in a theme park and I went on one of the rides. Whilst the ride was mostly Monkey Island themed, I found it strange that LeChuck had been renamed to Yog-Soggoth. Obviously, my mind got a bit muddled as I slept.

    This is kind of eerie. I just found a song by one of my favorite musical groups called My Little Friend Max. It doesn't really fit him, but it makes me think of him.

    Did anyone notice Mr. Featherly got called Mr. Featherly all the time on later seasons, even when it was not his real name? #nitpicker

    By Night of the Raving Dead he had legally changed his name to Mr. Featherly, because it made international licensing deals easier.

    In science class today, while we were taking notes, I was listening to my iPod; specifically, the Season 1 and 2 soundtracks. I have a friend who sits next to me in that class who's always taking one of my earbuds to listen in on my songs, because I have awesome taste in music, obviously.

    Today, he took an earbud while I was listening to the Chariots of the Dogs section of the OST, and he said, "Whoa, this song is radical!" in a totally non-ironic way. And then I started to giggle hysterically, because I was actually listening to "Radical!" right then.

    I don't know why, but it totally cracked me up at the time.

    I'd kinda wanna see that...DO IT! *peer pressure*

    It's okay, you're not alone. I actually have about a billion songs that remind me of Sam & Max, or characters or elements of the series, without really having anything to do with them. Like this one. It has less than zero resemblance to absolutely anything in the Sam & Max universe, but I still get reminded of them whenever I hear it.

    Actually, it specifically reminds me of the 305 credits, so I guess that makes a little more sense. After all, it's supposed to be about
    the guilt the singer feels after the death of someone close to them.

    (But I still feel sort of stupid for admitting that.)

    Lets see, uh, quick question to whoever cares. If Sam and Max characters were Power Rangers, who would be who?

    That totally isn't a silly random idea that I got for no reason that I may or may not draw some time later >.>
  • Player_2Player_2

    I'm sorry to say that I know absolutely nothing about the Power Rangers, so I can't help you there.

    Personally, I'm the kind of nerd that tends to write fanfiction about stuff she realy likes. If anyone out there's willing, would you check this out and tell me what you think? I'd really love feedback, reviews, whatever, even though it's so short.

    I've always wanted to know the details behind Whizzer's marriage declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

    Also, me thinking about how Sam and Max will soon be crossing over with TF2 led to this inane GIF. I was going to make it my new sig, but since you can't put images in there, I thought I may as well share it here.

    It was a joke in Season 3, The Tomb of Sammun-Mak, in which the Mole people had this Egyption joke about cutting the cucumbers lenghtwise. Only the Mole people found it funny (in-game of course. Some of us found it funny).

    I'm on the Sam & Max blog! ^_^

    I've had them with me for a little more than 4 months. From my experience, Max isn't the only one who is trigger happy. Sam's revolver itches like crazy occasionally.

    Thank you very much! :D I have a few more photos of them on my Facebook photo albums. ^^

    I'm still surprised he featured me first and he remembered I was the one in the Sam and Max costume (that won 2008's Halloween contest) at Comic Con 2009. :D

    I refused to believe this exists. You must have made it up. :mad: HOW COULD YOU?

    I am not in denial.

    In an Aldi catologue there was a display for a special on zuchinies with one cut lengthwise. (For some reason the first time I wrote zuchini it replaced it with asterics.)

    I cut my cucumbers lenghtwise. They're easier to gut that way. Also I like to cut small cubes instead of slices.

    I added them to my christmas wishlist.

    Since the only place I can find them is a private seller on amazon asking for tons of money, I don't think I'm going to get them. :(

    I noticed. He did say they were for "something that's not the game," so I'm guessing an easter egg on the DVD, perhaps.

    That's the first thing I thought when I saw his post.

    Anyways, let's not get this topic locked. SUBJECT CHANGE TIME:

    Does anyone out there have a favourite Max spore? They're all different fragments of his personality, right?

    My favourite was the particularly verbose and overly negative one. I think that was the one in his brain...

    No updates on Spudvision or the Sam and Max blog since April 16th. Has Steve joined that March the 21st doomsday cult and travelled America warning people?
