Sam & Max in: A bunch of short videos you missed

The big day is almost here again! Sam & Max episode 3: The Mole, The Mob, and The Meatball is set to land on Telltale's site in just three days (that's February 8th for those counting down at home). To pass the time while we wait, I figured I'd let you know what's up in the world of Telltale's short time-wasting web videos.
A new Sam & Max episode a month may seem like blindingly fast to many (it does to us!), but some of you out there need something to keep you occupied at all hours of the day lest you make the lives of those around you a living hell. Well, here at Telltale we say "let the baby have his bottle!"
To placate the rambunctious masses, and to give us something to do in our copious time off, we've been releasing heaps and heaps of videos on our Sam & Max page. Have you missed any? They come in two flavors:
1. Machinima Shorts: The Sam & Max machinima shorts are a series of quick minute-long movies starring Sam and Max, built entirely in the Telltale Tool! Machinima shorts come out once a week in 3-week bursts, starting right around when we release a new Sam & Max episode on our site. Though the writer varies from short to short, this week's, titled "Interrogation," was penned by Steve Purcell!
2. Interim Theater: For those times when the Machinima Shorts - and the games themselves - still aren't enough, there's the Interim Theater. Interim Theater is a loose collection of clips, from short near-pointless footage of Sam & Max standing around their office with nothing to do, to age-old Flash cartoons that time forgot, to some footage of Steve Purcell drawing Max in people's books at Comic-Con while casually contemplating holding a razor blade to his eye. Basically if we find anything of note crammed between the cushions of the Telltale virtual couch, up it goes!
New Interim Theaters usually appear in the two weeks between GameTap's premiere and Telltale's international release of a new Sam & Max episode, and new Machinima Shorts are posted almost weekly, on Mondays or Tuesdays, all available on the Sam & Max page.
If you want to catch up on videos, you can browse the archives on the Sam & Max page, too. Enjoy!
