Our friends at WhatTheyPlay.com are holding a contest with a Wii plus a bunch of Sam & Max schwag as prizes. And unlike our own contests, to enter this one you don't have to do anything creative!
Just head over to this page for details on how to enter. The grand prize is a Wii plus Sam & Max Season One for Wii, a Surfin' the Highway Limited Edition Hardcover, the Sam & Max animated series, and the Season One soundtrack -- all excellent products a Sam & Max fan should own. There are also three runner-up prizes.
And hey, don't forget our Trogdor arts & crafts contest, which is going on now! The deadline for entries is December 31, so you still have time. Break out the construction paper / glitter / pipe cleaners / whatever and make us a dragon!

The Sam & Max front has gone quiet lately as we buckle down on otherprojects, but today I bring good news from across the pond!
This morning at a swanky press event in London, Atari announced a new partnership with Telltale to bring Sam & Max Season Two to retail worldwide in 2009. And no, this isn't just for PC -- it'll be coming out for Wii as well! Plus this will be the first time foreign language versions of Season Two are available, with fully localized releases in French and German, as well as Italian and Spanish subtitles.
We don't have a ton more to say about this right now, but both Telltale and Atari are really excited about the partnership and the chance to get Sam & Max out to an even bigger audience.
In other news, has anyone in Europe spotted Sam & Max Season One for Wii in the shops yet? English, French, Spanish, and Italian versions should be shipping out as we speak. (German's coming in 2009!) If you happen to see the game on a store shelf, why not snap a picture on the fly and send it our way, hmm?
It's almost Thanksgiving here in the US, which means that the holiday season is right around the corner, and people are anticipating--eagerly or otherwise--spending many hours shopping for gifts for their loved (and liked) ones. To mark the beginning of the holiday season, we've put together a brand new gift store.
You might be aware that any of our downloadable games can be purchased as gifts for someone else. If you weren't, please re-read the preceding sentence. Apart from that, though, we've also put together a couple of new game/merchandise packages:
A Sam and Max Gift Bundle featuring both seasons of our Sam & Max games (that's 11 episodes) on extras-filled DVDs, topped off with a copy of Surfin' the Highway.
A Wii Game Gift Pack featuring the Wii versions of Sam & Max Season One and CSI: Hard Evidence. (Region alert: these are the North American versions and won't work in PAL Wii consoles.)
Bonus fact: We have also added the ability to gift-wrap the stuff you buy, (provided that it's not a downloadable episode). So, check out the new gift store, and enjoy the holidays!
Bonus bonus fact: We're also offering free USPS shipping for people who're buying a downloadable game along with physical merchandise! This offer's only good through Wednesday 12/3 though, so don't wait too long.
So this weekend was APE. It was so much fun we forgot to take pictures, besides these two. Ooops.

Graham Annable spent the weekend at the table with us, selling various and sundry Grickle merch, and Steve Purcell showed up on Sunday to sign books and chat up his loyal fans. During the downtime, both of them drew the sketches you see below. Here's where the fun comes in!
