I will be replaying the game a few times this week, so I will update My list as I find new items...

(And I don't think I need to tell you all to click everything until the dialogue repeats itself, to examine your items frequently (epically after combining/using them with other objects), and to use every inventory item with at least one random (out of inventory) item and character.)

P.S. if you have any noteworthy hidden gags or dialogue that you found, feel free to post how to trigger them here.

A VERY special thanks to Secret Fawful, Mad Mary, Shale, Planeforger, meander, Higure, Largo LaGrande, EdWont, JanT, Fausk, Anieartalia, der_ketzer, jeditribble, walshy, prizna, Bur, a3HeadedMonkey, Magwill, jeditribble, octochan, TofuHead, hplikelike, Wolfwood, Zomantic, and Randulf for their help with the contents of this list.

    Don't forget to
    read the newspaper on the wall
    before and after you
    solved the first three quests.
    Reminds me a bit of MI2.

    Did you realize for whom the 
    shrine at the creepy shack
    was for?
    cause in my book, 
    Nor Treblig
    also happens to be... 
    Ron Gilbert
    backwards, creator of the MI characters, and keeper of the crossroads as 
    Voodoo Lady
    so nicely puts it!!

    It's my favorite reaction from Guybrush's hand yet.

    Did you
    intently fail on putting the U-Tube into Le Singe's gun just to find out how how many Louis there are?

    I need to try this to find out for sure but I think
    when you fire a cannon at the glass unicorns, knocking on Crimpdigit's door and talking to him causes Guybrush to wonder what a fundament is. After solving the idols puzzle Guybrush insults Le Singe and mentions a fundament. If you didn't knock on the Crimpdigit's door maybe Guybrush might say something else at this point (similar to the Papapishu reference in CMI)

    Use a breath mint with the hold on each pirate ship?
    Show the weather vane to the Voodoo Lady after Guybrush's "Lechuck episode"?
    Talk to the Voodoo Lady after escaping the lab, asking her about Grog and De Singe?
    Look at the shack again from the outside after you've met the Voodoo Lady?
    Give a flower to the Voodoo Lady?
    Give a flower to D'Oro the Explorer?
    Use the flyer with D'Oro the Explorer?
    Use the stolen Pink Pajama Pierre doll with D'Oro the Explorer?

    EDIT: ALSO-
    Watch Lechuck's expressions when Guybrush's hand goes screwy. Not still evil my butt.

    I can't believe I didn't get that one the first time around. Fantastic!

    Did you
    ring the doctor's bell after arriving on the island and after each time you made "pirate news"
    ?

    Did you:
    Talk to the Voodoo Lady after you've found the wind-control-device?
    Did you:
    Talk to McGee after you've found the wind-control-device?

    -EDIT-
    Bug?
    Examining the weather-wane while stuck in the tar will make you stand up with a nice black hand. And examining the map in your inventory your hand is the normal green.

    Ah, sigh. And so it´s over - for now... can´t await next month... seems like given my helplessness to solve certain puzzles at times I happened to have found out most of the a.m. things, lol, (not all though!) and now I had to smile or even laugh again thinking of those situations ;) great job so far Telltale!!!! I already loved that 1st chapter although I also will have to replay it as I obviously missed a few of the "did you try´s"...

    did anybody figure out what that swordfish is all about?
