I loved today's "reason" redirect.

My orders from the Limited Run Games releases of Sam and Max - Save The World arrived recently! I haven't opened them up yet, but I am very impressed with the work that went into these physical releases so far. The PC box edition is especially fabulous on display. I can't wait to get the rest of the series for my collection.

Spoiler from previous day: I had a laugh when I had to use the word PORNO to get RONZO on the last two attempts for that day. Still, Success!

Just mentioning that it looks like the Microsoft merch store currently has Psychonauts 2 items on sale. Here's the tye-dye shirt link: https://microsoft-xogs.myshopify.com/products/psychonauts-2-teal-tie-dye-tee

Just going through boxes as I'm unpacking. Thought I would show off some items as I go. Here are some sealed LucasFilm Games for my (eventual) LucasFilm/Games mural. Rescue on Fractalus! and Koronis Rift. Original sticker on each state $30 dollars each at RadioShack. I went with these Epyx box releases as I loved the overall and universal design of these boxes vs the other styles of these game releases. I have all four of these original releases from LucasFilm games in these Epyx style boxes. Not sure just yet which of the many moving boxes the other two are; The Eidolon and Ballblazer.

A rubber chicken with a keychain in the middle?! What possible use could that have?

I hope this doesn't come off as an ad, but I did make a purchase so long ago that just arrived today, and I'm just excited about it. Actually, conveniently so soon after the Limited Run Games Anthology Collection arrived at my house and my subsequent placement of the Guybrush statue back into the box, arrived was my custom order from Comunie Customs, a group down in Argentina. I believe I found them on Facebook but probably from some Instagram postings. What have we here?? Why they are custom Funko-styled figures of Guybrush and LeChuck! Unfortunately, Guybrush's sword didn't make the 3,000 mile trip perfectly, but I can fix it. Same for LeChuck's raven hat-piece. A quick fix I'm sure. A reverse shot of LeChuck's fantastic hat. I have the three feathers that also just happened to snap. I was actually quite impressed with the amount of bubble wrap used, even inside the individual boxes. And here are some in-production pictures they shared with me during the long year wait. Thanks for looking at my silly, custom Funkos.

As an Xbox fan, I was upset when a bunch of the fansites from 20 years ago sold out and closed or just disappeared over the years but I just recently found purexbox.com and have enjoyed their coverage so far.

You may or may not have noticed that some original Steve Purcell Sam and Max concept art went up for sale on eBay recently. Concept art for the lovely statue that was created many years back. Four images (each on 14"x11" paper) of our favorite dog and rabbity thing captured from different angles to be used with sculpting the duo in fabulous 3-D. The art went up for a $4,000 price but sold within a day or two for an undisclosed "best offer price" by the undisclosed buyer. But like the latest in NFT art, you can view the artwork right here!

@Laserschwert Not sure when you added the Game Title Separators on the Adventure Games poster post but they are beautiful additions to the post! May I ask how your work on the CMI advertisement 2-page spread of "reclining nude" skeleton crew member is coming along?

Hey there,fellow AGS'er! Congratulations on your game development success. I have already pre-ordered your collectors edition. I was wondering if you also ported your previous two games to the switch to possibly be some hidden Easter eggs/games like DOTT/MM. But I can imagine the large amount of work it would take converting AGS to Switch code.

Just another heads up, the Max plushie is back in stock (or just preorders right now) but don't hesitate! Get yours before the scalpers do! Also, this awesome Sam and Max drawing to commemorate it... https://www.instagram.com/p/CXjI21Vr-OA/?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.uncute.com/collections/everything-else/products/sam-and-max-stuffed-toy

I'm hoping it's just a wav file of Dominic's singing on MI3. "For those cold, dark shipboard nights, We've got boxers, briefs, and tights Made from cotton, silk, or satin, In styles Anglo, Dutch, and Latin, When you sail don't take a chance Wearing nothing 'neath your pants! Trust...Silver's Long Johns! (They breathe!)" (Thanks ScummBar!)

Psychonauts 2 would go on to win XPlays 2021 Game of the Year award as well. I noticed it from DoubleFines tweet.

Do we have any word on a timeline for a GOG release for this second remaster?

I feel like if this was official it would have a TM trademark stamp on the back so I'm more inclined to believe it is not official. But that shouldn't detract from it too much. It is quite nice and unique!

"Psychonauts 2 Wins 'Xbox Game Of The Year' At The Golden Joystick Awards 2021" Hot damn, way to go DoubleFine!

New merch released today. Shirt, poster, and a neato spinning pin.

Fangamer.com just announced that they will have new Psychonauts 2 merchandise hitting their digital shelves on Monday, Nov 22.

This CD of Zak, Loom, and MM has some different artwork as well, including more space above Zak. Maybe too small to work with? https://www.ebay.com/itm/133861248762?hash=item1f2ac08efa:g:g74AAOSwyMhhKUrD

I'm quite curious as to where that title-less image of Zak even came from and if it wasn't just some fan-creation.

I wonder if any of the Adventurer magazines back sales pages mention any Fate of Atlantis pins? Mine aren't handy at the moment and I currently cannot check out the web archives of them...
