Do random stuff, win Sam & Max!

Former Telltale Staff
As we announced in our newsletter earlier this week, we're holding a contest in honor of Halloween and Culture Shock's November 1 release on our site. The original idea was to get people to send in pictures of themselves dressed like the Freelance Police (or anyone Freelance Police-related) for Halloween. We're dying for someone to carve a pumpkin that looks like Max, so we decided to throw that into the mix. Then we figured what the hell, let's open it to ANYTHING you can come up with that's fun and creative. Some of the examples I mentioned in the newsletter were creating a user-generated comic or a Freelance Police haiku, but those were just meant as ideas. All we really want is for you to do something sort of Sam & Max related (or even not), send us some sort of proof that what you did exists (whether it's a picture, a description in email, a link, a short movie...) and we'll toss your entry into the hat.
Okay, so we sent that newsletter out on Tuesday. We've already received some entries, and that makes me happy, but what makes me sad is that they're mostly user generated comics and haiku. Sure, I know creativity takes time (and sometimes a little beer). You can't force it. But I'm still hoping we'll get some really imaginative entries before the contest is over. Get out the construction paper and paste. Color outside the lines. Start thinking like a lagamorph.
What's it worth to you? How about Season 1 completely free (including the CD at the end of the run) AND a Sam & Max E3 poster signed by Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell and game designers Dave Grossman and Brendan Ferguson? We might even feature your entry on our website or as an episode of Interim Theater.*
Entries should be sent to contest@telltalegames.com and must be received by 9:00 a.m. Pacific time on October 31. (Include your full name and address so we can mail you the stuff if you win.) All entries will be evaluated by an elite panel of judges, including Steve, Dave, Brendan, and anyone else around the office we can rope into it. We'll announce the three winners on November 1, the same day Culture Shock shows up on the site.
