America in Season 2

edited August 2007 in Sam & Max
I, like many other Americans, let out quite a laugh when we were all
sold to Canada
in the last Sam & Max episode. So I was wondering, could anyone at Telltale reveal whether the United States are still going to be
owned by Canada
in Season 2?

    I'm sure after Max wacked everyone with his boxing glove, any mistakes done as a result of a lapse in judgement due to hypnotic influence were fixed.

    Or at least I hope.

    There will probably be some trade made for all of our cheese.. I sense jimmy's the rats work here. Common boys lets get this country back with its curdles of cheese!!

    Just like any cartoon - things that happened in the past aren't necessarily there in future installments.

    Provided that there is nothing meant to be in cannon. There are several cartoons where seemingly throw-away events have an impact later in the series. Gargoyles is a good example of this.

    Well, they did keep the "Max as President" thing going throughout the remaining two episodes, when they probably could have easily dismissed that story element at the start of the next episode.

    There a lot of ways to "reverse" the events without making them part of the stories. For instance, the opening scene on s2e1 could state something and we have the TV ads, posters, Newspapers and some random dialogs between S&M.

    Sam and Max should go to England! :D

    Ah, the comic! But not a game!

    I could just picture the driving sequence if there was an episode set in Britain. Sam and Max end up on the wrong (the right hand side? :confused:) side of the motorway, and have to avoid an onslaught of oncoming Minis and London Cabbies.

    As long as nobody talks like the Queen (although one of the newspapers a while back had a two-page spread about her accent becoming more 'common' back when there apparently wasn't much else worth reporting), I'd be more than happy =P.

    Yeah, everyone here drives on the left... well, if they know what they're doing!

    That sterotype really annoys me - also the one that implies we all wear black bowler hats and suits and drink tea all day! :D

    And they could all look like Harry Winehead from TTH!!

    I'm just learning to drive (just turned 17, they'd better not put the age limit up to 18 like they said they might be doing, before I pass my tests), so I'll probably come under the not-knowing-what-I'm-doing category.

    Also, I drink a hell of a lot of tea :<. Damn me and my susceptibility to conform to stereotypes.

    I went looking for a picture of the "Caution: Lanes Cross" sign from arrested development, but couldn't find one :(

    That idea for a driving game sounds great, btw. :)

    Yeah, but Bosco can get away with it because he's actually funny! :D
  • edited August 2007
    I like British stereotypes, because in fairness most of them are true. The best thing being that when we get teased about our Britishness, we take it as a compliment ;)

    British Bosco was my favourite. "You can't go in there: it's knackered!"
  • edited August 2007
    'Stay out of the loo. It's knackered' in fact. +1 British :)
  • edited August 2007
    Bah, humbug.
  • edited August 2007
    Hey, the stereotype worked for Bosco...

    not to mention Bakura...

    Oh, Reginald, I disagree!

    The easter egg is pure gold, yes. Really, it's incredibly important to the email. It's almost like the email's just not complete without it, if you ask me.
    Especially when you see The Cheat's memo.

    damn these british stereotypes *goes to make tea and add unneccisary vowels to things*

    Now i'm afraid I must tally ho, my offspring has decided to tie himself up in computer cables (no seriously, he really has!) and is trying to eat the hoover. Then i'll just go put the kettle on and toast some crumpets.

    ahem.. yeah.
  • edited August 2007
    Everything there in that paragraph was fine, except for tally ho... I mean, who even says that? :D

    There are a few times when the American word is a little more complicated than the English one, lieutenant/leftenant, for example. Naturally, when this happens, the Americans are being needlessly inefficient, whereas when the English do it it's just delightfully quirky :p
  • edited August 2007
    I always tease my british and aussie friends about the stereotypes :P Then they come right back and pull the "fat American" card... hehehe.
  • edited August 2007
    Unfortunately, the "fat American" card is true. *holds beer belly with pride*:D
  • edited August 2007

    Hold on while I convert that...
    107 pounds = 7.64285714 stone

    Wow, you're pretty slim (or just very short)! :D

    What about the "Americans are bad spellers" stereotype?
  • edited August 2007
    I'm not fat OR a bad speller. Just borderline insane. :P
