Well, the newspaper was dissapointing....

....Other than a few amusing headlines, of course.

After being quick to download the high-res version to read the finest of fine print on the newspaper, scouring for clues...I was quick(but not quite so quick enough as for it not to be utterly embarrassing), I realized something.

It's the Associated Press press release!

    It's in fact Telltale's press release, not the AP article.

    Sorry that it was... disappointing? It wasn't really meant to be read in much detail :P

    Well, I thought SOMETHING might be hidden in there.

    ....Though, I still want to know what's on that left side. It's still not big enough to read it, and the resolution isn't *quite* high enough that I can just blow it up and see what's written.

    Sorry, Jake. I'm obsessive-compulsive. Or, you know. Some mental disorder that actually applies.

    I don't think it's disappointing; I expected it to be made up of random letters. But I wonder, on the left page, is that the Sam & Max-comic? You know, the one that showed up in episode 3, season 1 and in Bosco's in season 2 (and in the newspaper in the first case file)?

    And I know how you feel, Rather Dashing. With stuff like this, I just have to read/hear/see everything. I dissected every Sam & Max-episode like this. You get used to it after a while.

    Oh, I see! It's the newspaper article again. The headline about the lotto ticket-buying man, the staples specialties, and the pop artist whose small contraption with a poor layout fails miserably are accompanied not with teeny tiny articles, but rather with the same words all copy pasted.

    Nice recylcing, there. ;)

    The comic in the lower left is Zazzle and Fib.

    i just hope that the newspaper in the actual game will be far more interesting....

    Haha this thread is turning into a parody of itself. I'm sure that if there's ever a newspaper in the game which you really do have to scrutinize, we'll be sure to fill it with comedy gems which aren't headlines made up the night we render the trailer.

    ...I think everybody(including myself) is laughing at me right about now. =p

    Obviously, it's still nothing. We don't even have the SLIGHTEST chance of seeing the actual strip! :O

    I know about the strip, I've seen it. But you CAN'T see it in the newspaper, so it's hardly a redeeming attribute!

    I think the newspaper should be a background element with no immediate significance except being self-referencing... y'know like it should be.

    That Sam and MAx Pic... RIght under that fake NEwspaper article "Man bites Fish"...

    It says "Monk Paste Is People!"

    Oooh--- That's a refrence to the Movie "Soylent Green" in which a famous quote was "Soylent Green is People!"

    XD Funneh!

    I'm surprised that nobody identified that aerial satellite photo on Bosco's wall, especially given that Sam calls out its address in one of the incorrect lyrics during the Friendly Demon Song.

    Now Jake, I remember someone did recognise that, and you being extremely scared by that. Let's see...

    i wonder if i am the only person who noticed the easter egg on boscos conspiracy wall...

    there is an overhead picture of telltales office building circled in the "could it all be coming from here?" picture

    there are a lot of things in game that have fine detail like that, and can only be seen at high resolution....

    *Dangerzone starts keeping a loaded shotgun by the door.... just in case*

    And then you said:
    It's only creepy that you recognized an ariel view of our office by signt. (Fortunately, that's the old office!). There's a reference to the location of our old office in 201's dialog as well.

    Oh yeah! Haha, that was more surprising because he seemed to know what a satellite view of our old office looked like from memory, without having to research anything.

    Welcome to the internet, Jake, where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.
