[edit] Page move

What do people think about moving this page to "Sam & Max (computer game series)" or "Sam & Max (game series)"? I don't think "(computer game)" is appropriate given the way these games will be released - they're meant to be analagous to a TV series but in game form. This will be a "game series" in the same way that Lost or 24 are "TV series". Neilka 10:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Though in purpose the comparison to television series is corrent, it's confusing because when you refer to a computer/video game series its implied there are sequels (i.e. Sam and Max 1, followed by S&M 2, followed by S&M 3, etc.), while that confusion doesn't apply to TV (the Star Trek series of series not applying here). Episodic gaming more implies each chapter is a component of a full game, the way Telltale's Bone game is going to end up with 9 episodes or when it's done, but it'll be considered one complete piece. At this point, I'm not even sure if Sam and Max Season 1 will only refer to the first released episode, or the first set of episodes, as the word "season" would imply.
It's already kind of confusing what with the first game and the canceled game (which would've been its direct sequel) having their own entries. I think its best to stick with the current (computer game) title. Changing to "game series" might confuse those thinking of the LucasArts games, so it might even be better if later on down the line it's changed to (2006), or (Telltale).
Might want to wait until the game is released anyway, just in case they may extend or change the title(s) of the game. --SevereTireDamage 19:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
How about "Sam & Max (season one)," as that's how Telltale Games is referring to it (and is how the finished "full game" will most likely be titled if all episodes are bound together in a retail release)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.27.186.106 (talk • contribs).
The page title "Season One" may confuse other WP readers with the Sam & Max television series. --SevereTireDamage 03:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
How about Sam & Max Season One then? The lack of parentheses would be much more clear imho. // Gargaj 22:13, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Dogs?

Is including Sam & Max in WikiProject Dogs really appropriate? Or does WikiProject Dogs include any and all fictional stories which include a dog? I mean, I think it's an entertaining inclusion, but... Ja2ke 17:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
