I've been reading that people have been talking about putting the Sam & Max TV episodes on DVD. Has any body actually done this yet? If so, where can I buy it?
Now that semester is over, I can get around to doing it a bit more quickly.
I'm trying to... but I can only fit 6 episodes on a disc. Unless I get dual layer discs, but I don't know if myt DVD burner supports them.
Plus the quality stinks. I've already made my own menus etc I just need to click burn

when you do, what will distirbution be like?
will you be willing to hook others up?
this is just for me. I'm not planning to sell them.
You can find the episodes I have on any website that specializes in the distribution of electronic media........
I'm also trying to track down the two VHS tapes I don't have and then get a professional to Transfer them to DVD. Then I'll rip them to my computer and re burn them in fancy menu form! It won't be that much either. I found some pretty decent prices for transfering VHS to DVD.
now the hard part is finding Come Fly with me and All Creatures Great and small.
I'm going to check this place called Cheapies this weekend that has a ton of old VHS.
I'm going to burn the Cancelled Game trailer and the Telltale trailer along with a couple of clips from the cancelled game on the DVD as Special Features.
you can find the VHS on Ebay
And occasionally when they are availiable you buy them
I can sell you guys the VHS if you really want. I don't really like the show, and I don't really like VHS tapes, so if you're interested... I'll see. (They do have some wear where they have gotten stuck in the VCR on some sections, though.)
haha..
I don't like VHS either, that's why I want them to convert to DVD. The cheapest TV tuner card I can find is $70 (Canadian). So, I'll probably be awhile since I don't have money to even spend on that. Maybe by Christmas time after my wedding is over.
I started putting all my old taped episodes onto DVD, but am still playing around with how my recorder works.
How are you transfering them to your computer?
You can get TV Tuner cards. It allows you to watch TV on your comp and record TV shows (including VHS movies too.)
I actually have a DVD/VCR combo where the DVD is also a burner, so I don't ever put them on the computer.
I'm still working on my menus. The program I have is frustrating. Or maybe it's just that I'm a perfectionist when it comes to this stuff. Either way the TV cuts off the sides off the menu. Thats when I learned the program can show you the "Safe lines" and it's impossible to make it fit right without cutting the background off or having white gaps. I've burnt a test DVD (with menus only) 5 times a couple of nights ago and I still haven't gotten it right.
Since then I got two more episodes to put on: Christmas, Bloody Christmas and Glazed McGuffin Affair and a few other videos and sorts.
You can sell me the tapes! If you have the ones beside the Y files I take them! my email is super_pups9@yahoo.com!
Well, I don't feel like E-mailing you. But I do have all three.
What are they worth? Any suggestions guys?
About $30 altogether, that's about what I got them for on Ebay.
I only want to buy all creatures great and small and come fly with me, but if you have to sell them all I will still take them.
I don't have to sell them all... is it okay if I sell them to you next week? I'm kind of stressed out at the moment.
:max: Out of toilet paper?
Next Year even! I Love Sam and Max cartoons!
They could have been a whole lot worse.
The Show's ok, but it pales in comparison to the comics. As the Show was toned down for younger viewers.
The show might actually be better if you turn the sound off, put on some music that you enjoy, and make up the dialogue and plot. Don't think they'll ever get around to making a legitimate DVD. But I am fascinated by the new Steve Purcell sketchbook which includes lines from the show that didn't make it past the censors.
:max: Sam why does that girl have a lump in her pants?
:sam: That's no lump, Max! It's one damned ugly time bomb!
:max: Time bomb, thats not a real word, but it made be think of a joke.
A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter and dog. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should represent us."
The agent says, "Sorry, I don't represent family acts. They're a little too cute."
The mother says, "Sir, if you just see our act, we know you would want to represent us."
The agent says, "OK. OK. I'll take a look."
First they all leave the room. Then the daughter appears, 10 years old, blond curls looking like Hayley Mills from Pollyanna except, she's completely naked and covered from head to toe in her own feces. How she manages to do that to herself in the 5 seconds she was out of the room is completely amazing to the agent who claps wildly. **** covered naked Hayley Mills raises her hand in a gesture that indicates there is more to come.
Next the son walks in with the Koran and the dead body of Pope John Paul II, whom he has been keeping on ice since the day of his passing, which has kept most of the fleshy parts intact albeit extremely squishy and pungent. The agent is no dummy and realizes that this family has some pretty powerful connections, which brings a smile to his quavering lips. The son begins to rip pages from the Koran and shove each page up the dead pope’s rotted anus. It makes a distinct squishing noise like ****ing a porn star’s ******* at the end of an extensive gang- bang, all loose and full of other men’s semen.
Then the daughter begins wiping all the **** off her body with the pope's ecclesiastical vestments and the rest of the holy book of Islam. She then brings out a match and strikes alight the last page that's dangling from dead Karol Jуzef Wojty’s rectum. The pope’s body had obviously been soaking in gasoline prior to this show because he goes up like a burning cross. The brother then takes his sister in an embrace that is reminiscent of the poster for “Gone With The Wind”.
A tear comes to the agent’s eye as the brother using some **** that has fallen to the floor to lube his penis enters his sister in a very classic missionary position.
The daughter whispers that she doesn't want to get pregnant and the son pulls out a punch card for twenty free abortions that he received from the Democratic National Committee.
Now as a special guest appearance the grandfather arrives on the scene with a machete and dressed as the prophet Muhammad. The son and daughter having finished their lovemaking rub the pope’s ashes all over their bodies until they are as black as Webster, or Wesley Snipes, or maybe Nelson Mandela (they’re all about the same). The grandfather, son and daughter begin acting out the genocides in Darfur. The grandfather rapes the daughter and cuts off her breasts. Then he chases the son down, chops off his hands and feet and finally his lips and eyelids leaving him to live out the rest of his short life in excruciating pain.
Then the mother comes in with a shirt that says “U.N.”, does nothing and promptly leaves the room.
The family dog comes in, eats the sons disembodied lips and ****s out a living preemie that is supposed to represent the baby Jesus hinted at by the white t-shirt it's wearing with “Baby Jesus” airbrushed onto it and a rainbow.
Then the father comes in and begins to preach “Intelligent Design” to the family and tells the son that his suffering will end if he only accepts Jesus. The son attempts to kill himself by shoving his own severed foot down his throat with his stumps, but the father kicks it away and says that God doesn't give him the right to take his own life.
The grandfather still overcome with bloodlust begins to torture fetal stem cells that he recovered from a dumpster outside a California research lab.
The daughter with blood gushing from her chest crawls over to the baby Jesus and starts shaking it like a welfare mother and repeats over and over “What kind of god would do this?”
Finally the mother comes back in wearing a NASCAR T-shirt, cut-off jeans and yellow high-heels. She sits down in the middle of the room shouting at the top of her lungs that she can't find parking for her hummer at Wal-Mart.
The agent sinks back in his chair utterly horrified by this act when he realizes that yes she is wearing yellow high-heels and cut-off jeans.
On that cue they all stand up as best they can and take a bow.
For the longest time, the agent just sits in silence. Finally, he manages, "That's a hell of an act. What do you call it?"
And the father says, "The Aristocrats!"
Sam! Sam! Why are you emptying your stomach?
Wait Itchy, how the hell did you get that sketchbook?
Buh? I wish, mate! But I did find this from the 1992 Comic Con!
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/9388/samnmaxcomicconvy8.jpg)
I've never seen that one before.
You know what, I've never seen a full face picture of Steve Purcell before.
...and he's wearing the god damn Hawaiian shirt, just like every friggin' animator in California.
Sheesh.
It's a conspiracy, they're all masons! Does anybody know how to recognize a Freemason?
Secret handshake.
Also, Steve Purcell has a superb taste in hats.
I was about to say that, before you did because I read your post. This is quantum theory I suppose.
I was wondering why all the pictures of TellTale had his face systematically blocked or had him facing away.
And weren't some of his sketchbooks sold at comicCon? Or was that 'going to sell them in the future?'
weren't we supposed to be watching out on ebay for them?
I don't know where those ****ing sketchbooks are, but all of us here deserve one.

I agree with SyntheticGerbil, we should avoid insulting Steve Purcell even in jest lest he thinks less of us. Because I'd so geekgasm for a sketchbook.
I didn't say avoid insulting Steve Purcell.
Steve Purcell pisses me off. He never writes to his fans or posts on the message board. I've been asking him since I was 12 damn it.
It was implied that the sketchbook would be made available to those who wanted it, but I've heard nothing. Also, I want that Max shirt. And that E3 poster. Why is Purcell's web site not up again?
I bet Jake knows how we could get a sketchbook, but looks like the bastard doesn't want to say.
This calls for some good ole fashioned extortion!

Hey Jake, do you have a favorite relative? No reason.
Since Gametap is fully behind the Telltale release of Sam and Max episodes, I think it would be great if they had the TV show on Gametap TV (many people don't know that Gametap also has various animated TV series included in their service).
If you are a Gametap member, go to the suggestion box inside the service and tell them you want the Sam and Max animated TV show on Gametap TV. I've done it already, but one person obviously won't make that much of a difference.
Just download them with a bittorrent thingee. I've got a couple so far. They are sort of hard to come by, so you might have to do some searching.
I can't use Bittorrent with my provider (blocked and monitored by campus internet). Besides, I don't download things illegally anymore, even if I can.
