Season 1 saw Max gaining the position of President of the United States. If I remember correctly, Sam had the US annexed by the leader of Canada, Sybil, who then sold it (or the other way around).
However in Season 2, I noticed that Bosco was still selling copies of "Impeach President Max" with Max stating that he couldn't wait for the upcoming issue. So is Max still the president, or is that just something that's being overlooked?
Max is still president. That much is evident by the many references to it in 201 and 202. Max probably retained the role he had before Canada took over whenever they sold the country to Macrohard.
loved it, although i ran into a brick wall halfway through due my own ineptitude at carefully scanning the environment (said wall was eventually scaled). Popup text, you're a lifesaver!
I'm pretty sure that once the mass hypnosis wore off, Canada realized they didn't want it and gave the US back.
Sybil said something about citizen's complaining about how bad a country we are. I'm surprised nobody remembered that throw-away joke from 201.
BTW, I kind of wish you had Sam's catch phrase in the introduction when Max asks if they should help Sybil. I was so wanting to hear him say again "Can't think of a reason not to!"
Fourth time through and I noticed something new that didn't happen the first three times.
Baby Sam's shirt changed! It was the Max and Cross Bone shirt you could buy at the TTStore, but on the fourth time around it was Ted's shirt from TTH!!
I'm pretty sure the design for Young Sam and Young Max is taken directly from a one-page comic of Steve Purcell's that was printed in Surfin' the Highway.
PS - I laughed out loud when I found Flint's ashtray in Stinky's.
Huh, it appears the shirt Little Sammie wears is randomly determine. I went into my saved game to get a screen shot, but I got the Max Head shirt everyone else said they got instead of Ted's shirt or the Max & Crossbone shirt.
Something's afoot here... Next time that happens, I'm going to save a screen shot for sure.
finished it then. it had some cool puzzles and i was stumped on one for a good while. overall i spent more time playing it than 201 and it felt bigger (as in environment) as Ice Station Santa just had santas house.
music was awesome, once again. the music in the underground cave was epic, loved it.

i know i'm late in saying this, but i'd just like to say that i agree fully! twas kinda gutted that it wasn't used actually.
I don't think that phrase would have worked. The "can't think of a reason not to" joke is best when used in reference to something destructive - something that any normal person would think of a reason not to. For helping Sybil, it wouldn't have as much punch, so they went with a similar joke that suggests that Sam is only interested in helping Sybil because he's bored.
I think that's the model they used and then realized that they could mess with our heads by coding in a random shirt generator every time you boot up the game. I just want to know how many shirts they put in to Little Sam's textrue data.
Actually there's a good explanation for that: Steve. Both incarnations look a lot like a certain sketch in the Age of S&M sketchbook, which features that shirt.

Not saying you're wrong, just kinda in support of your theory.
