Welcome to Telltale Fan!
I have a personal blog on Wordpress, and I wanted to try out Blogger, so I decided to make this one a little more focused. So, I decided to dedicate my blog to my favorite company, Telltale Games (and occasionally the adventure games created by these great folks when they were over at LucasArts).

However, Double Fine severed ties with the project. It had a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, however as no updates have been made on the project since 2017, and the author does not reply to comments from backers, it is unlikely it will be released.

Dangeresque 3 Injokes
"These belong in a museum! But I'm keeping 'em anyway."
One of Dangeresque's remarks when you click on the paintings in his office is that "these belong in a museum! But I'm keeping 'em anyway". This is a reference to Indiana Jones saying that the cross of Coronado belongs in a museum in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This was also used as an injoke in many LucasArts adventure games.

Indiana Jones Adventure World Injokes
Spiders! Why'd it have to be spiders?
During the first mission, Malcolm is captured by spiders. He says "Spiders! Why'd it have to be spiders?" and later "Spiders. I HATE SPIDERS!" Indiana Jones said the same thing, but about snakes rather than spiders, in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The spider scene also references the fact that sidekicks in the Indiana Jones films end up having creepy crawly creatures on them at some point during the adventure.
Later, in the first "Calendar of the Sun" mission with Indiana Jones, Indy actually says his lines from the films "Snakes! Why'd if have to be snakes?" and "I hate snakes!"

CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder Injokes
"Ripped T Shirt with a logo of Fuzzy & Bill"
Fuzzy & Bill are based on Sam & Max. They are characters that were part of a webcomic that became a video game that was moderately successful, but had a cult following. The game was going to get a sequel, but the sequel was cancelled in favor of publishing Gutwrench III, a game that will sell huge amounts of copies just due to brand recognition.
