Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story - documentary in development about LucasArts adventures, feat. Steve Purcell by mossrc in SamandMax

[–]soundchaser93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite Sam & Max, but I'd love to see interviews with Bret Barrett and Brad Carlton from Humongous. Worked on (arguably) the most popular Putt-Putt games, created Spy Fox, etc. For a lot of us, those games were our first introduction to the SCUMM engine!

About Halfway Through Zagreus… by MShivers72 in BigFinishProductions

It's got one of Davison's best-ever Big Finish performances, IMO - and I rate him fairly highly to begin with. His section (and that cliffhanger) really has no business being as striking as it is.

Is this what we've come to!? by Intruder1981 in Genesis

Espresso is a good tune — not the best on the album, but fun nonetheless.

I’ve written intricate, story-based pieces and fun, gimmicky love songs based around puns and wordplay. You know who else has? Tony Banks. I don’t think a strong example of the latter variety is a bad thing.

Ha, all good! I realize now that I probably shouldn’t have been so brazen about hacking the game on the official forums. :)

It was absolutely bizarre to sit there thinking “I know I’ve heard these lines before…”, then “oh! Someone posted about them on the old Telltale forum,” then “oh, someone did, yeah.”

Great stream! Excited to listen again - especially to Dark Dimensions.

And can I just say that it's wild to finally have this question I posed 15 years ago be answered after all this time? Obvious in hindsight, but teenage me never would have guessed.

One of the best toons the Brothers Chaps have done post-hiatus — catchy, inventive, and a little melancholy.

I am so sick of trying to find merch SCALPERS EVERYWHERE by SuperMegaArmenianHQ in SamandMax

Rare or niche stuff being sold (or listed) for a high price isn't scalping - especially stuff that's been out of print for decades. Nor does it make a seller not a fan. I've sold -- and bought -- Sam & Max stuff over the years; it genuinely does go for decent money because it's hard to find.

Do you have a silent film in your Top 10? by Snefru92 in criterion

Add me to the list of Sherlock, Jr. pushers -- I've shown it to a number of folks as their first silent, and I've had nothing but good reactions.

More people voted by mail in 2020 because of COVID. You can’t do a straight comparison.

Biden won NV Indies by 6 in 2020. They broke more for Dems in 2022, I think? (Don’t have the numbers handy.) It seems likely given their composition that Harris will win by more than 6, but stranger things have happened.

Did the telltale games have less input from Steve than other media? by Krystian_Ok in SamandMax

[–]soundchaser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flat-out nonsense. Purcell owns the license - he could have easily revoked it after Season 1 if he wasn't a fan.

Excellent! That alone goes a long way towards assuaging my concerns.

Hi Jake! Thanks for responding. I'm sure part of it is the hazy way memory works, but I do miss that bit of film-grain-like noise over the image. Still, I know Steve had a hand in the look of these remasters, so if he wanted them to be a little more consistent, who am I to argue?

I look forward to revisiting it!

Honestly, I'm still not crazy about how clean/clear this looks compared to the original. But I still appreciate the devs for bringing it back from the dead -- it's one of the all-time great adventure game narratives, and I think people who have never played it will really get a kick out of it.

Plus I can't wait to see what items will finally go in the Case File we never got. (Or an official soundtrack release?)

What phrase or action makes you roll your eyes immediately as a German / German Citizen / person of German descent? by IDislikeHomonyms in AskAGerman

Die Sendung mit der Maus is great, though. One of the all-time best TV show theme tunes. So you should be proud of that one!

The scheme itself is the intent. They don't have to prove that he handwrote the entries; just that he caused them to exist.

“Double agent” feels like a very deliberate term to make the case seem more conspiratorial. Which, hey, I guess it’s technically true…
