   It's no accident that the first episodic series was called Sam & Max Season One, and it's also no accident that the folks from Telltale Games have being hinting at it for a while: the sequel predicted by everybody was officially announced last night, and along with it we also received the first image ("render" they say, though it still looks like a screenshot) from... ta-daaa... Sam & Max Season Two. Congratulations to the 99.97% of fans who bet it would be called this way.

   The image in question, quite suggestive really, shows the Stinky's diner, down the street from Sam & Max's office, that remained closed for the entire first season. Again, by no accident. And just as premeditated is the fact that the announcement was made precisely the day before the Comic-Con show in San Diego, where they'll be revealing more about the game: new characters, environments, and maybe some nutcase scenario. Because right now we still don't know what adventures await the eccentric detective duo. Careful not to divulge anything too early, Dave Grossman from Telltale only had this to state:
"We're keeping the general structure and gameplay, and focusing on telling farther-reaching, crazier stories. You'll see some changes to the world, too; improvements that were born out of player feedback and our own desire to make the most fun games anyone has ever played."    The premiere of the second Sam & Max season is set for autumn 2007, and the episodes will once again be released in pretty much the same way: first through the GameTap service, and then (the very next day), they'll be up for modestly-payed download on the developers' website.
