Yeah, same. I have a friend who swears by them, but I've never played anything beyond a demo for a PC episode whose title escapes me.

"Abe Lincoln Must Die!"? That was the demo/episode that I played, and it convinced me to buy the first season. Truly some funny stuff.

Sadly I've never played any of the Sam & Max games, just haven't ever gotten around to it.  Once I get Kirby's Epic Yarn and New Vegas out of the way I may take a shot at some Sam & Max and see what they're like.  I've always wanted to.

Off-topic, but a quick question. How's Kirby and New Vegas? Any good?

I think they should just get new voices altogether for Sam and Max.  My vote would be on Bob Sagat as Sam and Jaleel White (provided he can still do a reasonable facsimile of his Urkel voice) as Max.  Such underused talents, those two.  I'll start up a proper petition if others think it's a good idea.

I still think maybe the original voice actors should be used instead.  You know, since their last game as Sam and Max was canceled and everything?

I imagine there must be some Sam & Max-focused forums out there. You should try those, too, I would guess you'd find more people who know the games and would be interested in possibly supporting you on this.

Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

Say, what about Jaleel White as Roger Wilco? ;) It's not too late!

I wish I could have Jaleel White personally voice every main character in all the classic Sierra games.  But alas...

I think we need to write a letter to Jaleel White, telling him to bring back Family Matters.

I wasn't around the first time, but the second time around, it was brought back by a small team consisting of me, waltz, and oberonqa. (I think that was it)

I was a newb back then; can someone please educate me about who did what to defeat the second C&D?

Thanks.

Well, as I remember it: The Silver Lining Faction lined up along the border of the evil Activision Fortress. Cesar called out the command "ATTACK!!!" with a fierce and vibrant scream. As the forces charged the gates, the opposing army scattered into all directions. Bobby Kotick retreated into his office, and before he was taken hostage by Phoenix Online, he promised the gaming community a "unique, music experience" and then officially announced DJ Hero. After that, it was pretty much clear who won.

That was oberonqa. We'd never forget about you Cray. *hugs*

atec123

Oh yeah... I thought I was forgetting someone. :P


As I recal it was like this:
Me: Website and stuff
Oberonqa: Founder/leader for a while
Waltz: sender of activision letters
Cray: I can't remember.

Then eventually oberonqa joined the Phoenix team and had to leave the save TSL team.  Waltz took over as the head, then she also left and I took over.

Sounds right.  It was definitely something like that.
though....

Clarification: atec did the Save TSL website.
The new TSL website was designed by Eriq Chang - not to be confused with Eric Chan from Adobe.

As I recall, the first C&D ~Save KQIX ~ was coordinated by a team consisting of... pretty much Cat. :cat:
