Telltale Games

Oh yes, the Voodoo Lady also had a vision about 'the skull'.
...which could be a reference to the greatest RPG ever, but there are more likely options.

Guybrush going to his 'happy place' if I remember correctly when picking up the porcelain.

Dangerzone · 07/08/2009, 05:46 am

most of the references are in the beginning...

aside from the ones already mentioned (plus a rehash of the fizzy root beer puzzle)

look at his hold (Lazy crewmen that he wasted a lot of time recruiting)
look at his cabin door (full of a decades worth of booty)
and look at his ships wheel ("options"

)

Clicking on the rock of gelato also gives a funny line about another one of LeChuck's plans taking place in a nondescript location.

That actually is ingame when talking to the voodoo priestes guessing the words

I liked the 4th wall breaking:
"I can't open this chest, at least not in this episode " *looks towards screen*

Perhaps the ultimate insult is the handle between the whopping great diamond and the LeChuck voodoo doll? If not...eh, perhaps it was just created 'using' the ultimate insult...or it's just an in-joke and they didn't get around to fixing that.

Hm, one thing I don't get is where Guybrush was hiding that shovel...

What you mean by "not ingame" ? I heard that after trying to get in the shack the third or fourth time... Reference to song + Family Guys S07E02 Jesus episode...greatest episode ever!

Astro Gnocci · 07/08/2009, 06:56 am

i guess he meant that's not a reference to something from the games... an "out-game" reference...

Shame i didn't try to enter the shack to hear it, i love that song

One more reason to play it again tonight !

flautze · 07/08/2009, 07:07 am

Ye well, I found the shack before I completed the 3 tasks, so I tried to enter... judging by some MI riddles it might've worked by just trying several times, but well it didnt

But some nice "word-guesses"

ChazFox · 07/08/2009, 07:35 am

I loved the "U Tube" reference, but did nobody catch "Would you like to buy a vowel?"

I also just saw the Wallace Animation, which entertained me to no end. XD

Astro Gnocci · 07/08/2009, 08:02 am

Shame on me, i didn't realize the vowel joke while playing

I was somehow disapointed by the youtube joke... It was great by itself, but for some reason i thought the joke would carry on when you'd finally use the damn thing...
Also, i kept trying it on everything, maybe that's why the actual puzzle it was involved in felt kinda obvious.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think there was a subtle DOTT reference in there.

In the Voodoo ladies house, as you examine the freezer, guybrush mentions a bunch of animals in there.

You have to freeze the hamster in DOTT.

At any rate, I thought DOTT as soon as I saw it!

capnpadfoot · 07/08/2009, 10:56 am

The Marquis de Singe = the Marquis de Sade (sadism is called that because of him)

Not a reference to past games, but a reference nonetheless.

Duster W. · 07/08/2009, 12:10 pm

Reading the newspaper it says something like "this is the 1138th day of wind". 1138 is a number hidden in most George Lucas films, hinting at his student film "1138", later remade as "THX 1138".

tevezisgod · 07/08/2009, 12:29 pm

The hand being possesed by a demon is an obvious refference to Evil dead 2. I also think that Guybrush looks a little like Bruce Campbell this time around, especially in the chin area.

lv99squall · 07/08/2009, 12:36 pm

Also, singe in french means monkey

Astro Gnocci · 07/08/2009, 12:47 pm

and "zut alors" is one of those things i love to say when acting retarded

Hmm bruce campbell and the evil dead ? Hadn't thought about that... It's kind of true, but i wouldn't call it a reference (at least not the "looks a bit like campbell" part, the possessed hand thing pretty much became a classic now but it might come from there).

Ahh, and his monkey is a masochist. Thanks for that reference.
