Josh review Sam and Max: Season One, a series of episodic adventure games released by Telltale Games.
There are two reasons I don’t watch television.

The other reason, of slightly lesser importance, is that I hate waiting. The very idea of waiting weeks or more until I can find out what happens next is horrifying.
