My comments on the Season One Bonus Disc
Totally awesome. It has all the commentary that the Summer of S&M will bring, plus all kinds of other crazy stuff.
My favorite of them all was the Blooper Reel. Absolutely hilarious, especially Max's lines, i.e.
Absolutely amazing. So far I've watched the Blooper Reel a total of 5 or 6 times.
The rest of the disc is great, too. The commentary on Bright Side of the Moon was awesome, although I didn't pay attention to most of the commentary because I was looking at the game.
The concept art movie WAS AWESOME!
It showed most of the prototype characters, and even some "deleted scenes" (sort of).
For example,
And, it has some really cool music as well. For example, it has an extremely weird remix of The Office at the end of the BSOTM commentary.
Overall, I give the disc a 9/10. If you haven't ordered it yet, get it, and only pay $6 for the shipping. It's more than worth it.

"Oooh, this reminds me of that internet game where you look at shifty strangers and (gasp) have to decide when to breathe! *cough cough* "

A shot of Sam & Max in Hugh Bliss uniforms (white suit, rainbow tie, white pants)!
A shot of Lincoln carrying the Desoto up to the moon!

One more week...one more week...I hope...
Although I'm not buying the case file... yet. Maybe later... Maybe after the bonus disc hypnotizes me... (obscure—okay, maybe not so obscure—reference to another thread alert!)
It's the "take item out of backpack" animation from Bone.
I agree, it's baffling. You watch it happen and think you're going to see the flaw in what he's doing, and yet the book just appears and then disappears again. It works well.
Also, "Do we have it?" in the Max actor's real voice is one of the creepiest things I've ever heard.
Yeah, my favorite lines in the bloopers were this:
You mean we get to vomit vile projectiles at incoming pedestrians especially when you run out of air (gasp)?
Aw man, I just wanna go home and eat some lard-encrusted cherry ice cr-,..., Aw man, I just wanna go home and eat some lard-encrusted cherry ice bars with a chor- I mean, argh, okay,..., Aw man, I just wanna go home and eat some lard-encrusted cher-(censored etc.)
And my favorite of all is this:
Lefty is back? I love that guy! Remember Sam? Remember when I took a machete an- DARNIT, I had almost had you! Ahem. Lefy is back? I love that guy! Remember Sam? Remember when I-- argh, Weeeehooohoohoohooo! Alright, havin a good time now! (Dancing slowly).
Pretty awesome
The bonus DVD comes with an MP3 soundtrack sampler, not the full soundtrack (which is available separately).
That shot's currently set as my wallpaper. It doesn't look as good in widescreen, but it still manages to be uncontrollably awesome nonetheless.
which again is hilarious in a different context.. characters by premise being properly improper
it might be fun to have some small and cuddly character in season2 with HBO vocabulary, consisting almost completely out of bleep sounds
i didn't see any thread or message about easter eggs?
here's what i've found;
* dvd disclaimer changes (or play manually in \video_ts\)
All the commentary tracks and the blooper reel, and much of the concept art will be there. The easter eggs, and the cutscene reels with just their regular game audio won't be there. Also the stuff on Summer of Sam & Max is always just going to be Flash video, versus the full res DVD.
I know what Hammerspace is. Heck, I knew what Hammerspace was before it was called "Hammerspace," back when all of us comic geeks called it "Darkspace"! It's just surreal actually seeing the source of the object.
Creepy and funny. There's a similar voice joke in an episode of the animated series where Max, completely frustrated with the recurring inconveniences of a particular case groans "Oh please!" in the actor's normal voice. I laugh like a hyena every time I hear him do it.
Because the case file's awesome. And I'm not just saying that because I've put together like a thousand of them in the last week.
Good job!

Sometimes on TV series DVD sets they do cut back in deleted scenes (eg including an "extended pilot" episode), but we have very few of those, if any. There are lots of concepts that are conceived in design meetings that don't make it into the final game, but most of those concepts die before any art or voice is created for them.
Maybe with some other Telltale series in the future we might do some sort of multi-format release where online and packaged are different -- I mean, who knows? Nobody does yet, so anything could happen in the future! -- but I don't think it's something that people have ever thought about actually doing with Sam & Max. People out on the Internet sometimes like to think of the game as "a sequel to Hit the Road, but cut up in pieces," but really, at Telltale, that way of thinking of the games never really enters the picture.
I think the fact that Sam & Max Season One does come after Hit the Road sort of warps peoples expectations of how the episode to episode story "should" be, even though we're doing something totally different from Hit the Road with the story structure of our Sam & Max episodes.
I wonder what comments would be like if we lived in some cruel and twisted dimension where there hadn't ever been a Hit the Road...
For instance, the Phoenix Wright series on the DS is always 4 or 5 "cases" per game, each case with their own beginnings and ends, and nobody asks that they be tied together into one story without breaks. There are 4 games now, each with the aforementioned 4-5 cases per cartridge, and they all have Phoenix's office, the detention center and police station, and, most notably, the courtroom, as well as maybe 10 characters who repeat in every single case, but nobody bats an eye at this "blatant reuse," because Phoenix never had an epic quest "single, very long case" game back in the 90s to judge against.
Anyway, for Sam & Max season two, the plots of the episodes will be a bit more tightly related, a bit more serialized than the Season One episodes -- because we found that most people bought the whole season or nearly all of it, versus just buying one episode, and therefore we don't need to worry quite as much about whether or not people will miss something because they weren't there for plot events from a prior episode -- but each season 2 episode is still still a wholly self-contained story with a beginning and end, and they each have their own opening and closing titles, etc, and I imagine they'll be going out on the disc in that format as well!
