* YourMileageMayVary: The fact that Max's Lugermorph is again available to get after initially only being a pre-order item for one of the Telltale seasons. If you pre-ordered Freelance Police, you're probably pissed (even if it is essentially a reskinned version of Scout and Engineer's pistol, a weapon a lot of players don't even use, opting for Bonk! or the Wrangler instead). If you're, say, a Mac user who was completely unable to pre-order Sam and Max or play ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' due to Steam support not being available at the time, you're probably delighted.

* PerverseSexualLust: [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/1/18/ Remember Tycho's thoughts on giraffes?]] Well he goes into further detail about that fantasy... also with hedgehogs... and possibly Max based on how obsessed he was with whether or not Max "schtupped" Momma Bosco and how he'll put the details in the vault. ''DEEP'' in the vault.
