Hellooooo, Cornfox & Brothers! Great to see you here!

When Miyamoto talked early on about Zelda III, he mentioned an "elf mixed with a fighter" which is obviously who Link is, but at the time "Link" was the hero character from the NES games, so that might be related to why this new hero stands out with pink hair.

Everything said on this 1993 marketing sell-sheet for Sam & Max Hit the Road is real and actually happened.*

(That Clementine cameo is of course only in the remastered edition of Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space, as the original edition came out years before The Walking Dead games existed.)

In the Sam & Max episode "Night of the Raving Dead" careful players can spot Clementine's house in the middle of the zombie-filled suburbs. With Robert Kirkman's blessing, Melissa Hutchison made a quick cameo appearance as Clementine to thank Sam & Max for stopping by www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Je...

At the end of production on The Walking Dead Season One, once the game was locked, almost all of the team had gone home other than QA and a couple people left behind to fix any last bugs that were caught. During that stir-crazy week, this was made by those people: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgAH...

In episode two of The Walking Dead, out in the woods you encounter an abandoned station wagon full of supplies that you can choose to steal and not give back. As a result of that choice, Clementine ends up wearing a hoodie inspired by the poster for the 2003 movie "Kangaroo Jack."

Years later we received one transmission from the suit in Europe. Its ultimate fate is unknown.

In 2007, an actor in a Sam & Max costume roamed the floor at San Diego Comic-Con. The suit was commissioned by JoWood, the game’s European publisher, and after the con we shipped it to them.

Telltale Texas Hold’em was made on the cheap, with much of the work done as favors by friends and colleagues. Card shark Harry Weinhead was voiced by Nate Schaumberg, a LucasArts producer who had recorded Max’s scratch track for Freelance Police. Telltale paid him with a six-pack of beer.

The Sam & Max episode “What’s New, Beelzebub?” was almost called “Sympathy for the Devil,” but a lawyer made us change it at the last minute on the off-chance the Rolling Stones would find out and sue.

Telltale’s first office was down the street from San Quentin State Prison and a sewage treatment plant, across the street from the dump, and had a bullet hole in one of the windows.

Before they had a game of their own, Sam and Max were used by programmers at LucasArts to learn the SCUMM game engine, by creating a tiny adventure game set in a test-art version of Sam & Max's office. These sprites were found in the source code to Monkey Island 1 by @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social.

Sam & Max first appeared in print in 1980, in the the pages of the weekly student newspaper at the California College of Arts and Crafts.

Related fact: Pikachu is not actually derived from a pika, which is a shame as that would mean Max and Pikachu are in the same zoological order. Which, by extension, would mean the moment at 66 seconds into this video actually made perfect sense. Instead chaos reigns. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBTT...

Telltale used the scene when Sam & Max enter Jurgen’s nightclub as a cinematics art test for years. If you search YouTube you can find many many takes on the scene (amid other Telltale art tests) m.youtube.com/results?sp=m...

Telltale used to do a panel at PAX where they would write, cast, and record a scene live with suggestions and performances from the audience. Then during the Q&A, folks from the dev team would quickly process the lipsync and get the scene working live in engine: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsYR...

This is what the director's notes look like if you're about to get an iconic line read.

When looking at the can of Banang on his desk in Chariots of the Dog, the voice actor who plays Sam was directed to say the word "Banang!" "like a boingggg sound." His line read cracked up choreographer Nick Herman enough that he stayed up way too late making this www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9d8...

two *main characters
This correction, containing the knowledge that Ernie was one of the main characters specifically, counts as a fact in this thread.
