Our PAX panel: A mini update
TelltaleGames
Former Telltale Staff
Many people were curious about what went down today at our "Make a Sam & Max Episode with Telltale" panel at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle. I would spend a long time telling you, but Christopher Grant over at Joystiq has written up most of it for me, and even went so far as to post a video of the short we created with the audience! You can check it out here.
In official blog fashion, I will now cite a bunch of his post -- including the video -- without permission in a fit of excitement:[readmore]

Read the rest at Joystiq's site. We'll have more PAX goodies for you in the near future (including the Season Two trailer!), so stay tuned.
Despite being told we'd be creating an episode, it turns out games (even episodic ones!) take a little longer than an hour (but just barely we imagine). Improv comedy style, they take suggestions from the crowd for events in the game. First, a favorite fruit? Pomegrenates we yell out. A vacation destination? Someone yells "North Pole." A new career for Sybil? "Taxidermist" two blurt out over each other. The writing process has begun.
Sam: Hiya Sybil!
Max: What's your story lady?
Sybil: I'm an orthopedic surgeon, baby!
Sam: Holy heavenly horse radish in a Houston whorehouse!
Max: Who cares, I'm running for re-election!
Sam: More importantly we need a pastrami on rye to save the world!
Sybil: Why do you think I have a pastrami on rye sandwich?
Max: Orthopedic surgeons always have pastrami on rye sandwiches!
Sam: They use them for lubrication!
Max: It's science, Sybil.
Sybil: The problem with science is you can't prove it. Also I need condiments.
Sam: To Bosco's little buddy!
They pick three people from the audience to record the three voices (including their intern ... nepotism!). Normally they would record these all separately, with real voice actors, but we're on a tight schedule so these fine folks'll do. To show that they didn't do so bad, they show a bloopers reel featuring the actual voice actors. They even animated all the scenes! Our favorite part? The bad words (carefully bleeped out for the youg'ns)
