As far as I know, we are not legally allowed to hear these. I would highly suggest you find a way to make your own company to do it! Start small and such, but it's obvious you're a really creative and driven person.
But just imagine the great business you'd be turning down! Basically, if it's made by Telltale, it sells to whoever has ever played one of your demos at least.
Telltale Heart. Getting to see some of the "behind-the-scenes" Telltales (i.e. people who aren't usually interviewed) was interesting, and chatting with the other fans at the same time was fun.
The Telltale Tuesday contests are interesting, too, if only because I want to see how many different contest ideas you guys can come up with
Personally my choice of how TTG should aid the community is to make games. wow you already do that, great work guys!
Really though the thing that amazes me the most is all the people forgetting Tuesday. It's Tuesday...

Well, I don't have a regular schedule. I don't usually know which day of the week it is. Add to that that I'm never up at the same time and by the time I realise it's Tuesday it might have already turned Wednesday.
I expect Lena_P to eventually mention her avatar was doing the eye focus thing back before it was cool. As for me, I'll stick with my non-eye avatar.
Funny, I didn't realize that it is obviously eye-centric. I just centered it on one eye because a few years ago I read that many portraits of single sitters have one eye centered on the vertical axis.
Then I just cropped the heck out of my picture to help hide the fact that I'm terrible at drawing
This morning I started browsing the forums and was all... what the crap? What's with all these damn eyes everywhere? Hey Nik, what's with all the eyes?

heartbreaker! j/k that's good to know, seems alot harder than selling an idea, but i guess we gotsta earn our mutton chops
We've had some thought of reviving the lost Telltale Podcast initiative, but it seems like our favorite podcasters are busy doing things like Idle Thumbs...
Wait, you're referring to yourself in the third person now?
I want to know why Nikasaur doesn't have Trogdor as her avatar.
EDIT:
On a serious note, I would like for TTG to have a Developer Diary for individual projects they're working on. I know we have the Blog, but that's different from having a diary of project-specific updates on what is going on, what is/isn't going to be put into a game at the time, which departments might be working on what... that sort of thing.
Basically, I remember at least one thread being posted on the forums where we asked each other what we might want on the ToMI DVD. Though I'm certain TTG reads the forums and takes our suggestions into account (when appropriate), I would have liked it if TTG could have talked about what any given department was working on when creating the DVD and why, and what they wanted to put into it but couldn't and why not.
In this way, I/we wouldn't have to hunt down posts on the forums to find out if and why not there won't be hybrid DVD content (playable in a standard DVD player) on the ToMI disc; if there is going to be disc-based DRM and how long it takes to decide what kind of DRM to use; whether Dominic Armato is going to participate in cutscene commentary; and if/when Earl Boen's voice will be updated on Chapter 1 downloads for ToMI for PC. One might say that you'd want to leave surprises, but to that I would say if I wanted to be surprised I wouldn't be searching the forums for such info.

"We" referring to the vast amount of creative minds here to make Telltale amazing. There's a lot of people here who contribute, participate, and light a fire under my ass for community projects.
I think the obvious thing that everyone wants is poorly acted infomercials where the TTG staff act overly frustrated playing other peoples games and then instantly happy playing the new S&M:TDP there could even be some snuggies style raising of the roof... if it feels right guys no showboating.
All the graffiti in the new Sam & Max looks awesome... it really adds to the dirtiness and contributes a rich "texture" to the city.
A cool competition prize would be to have your username (or initials, or whatever) placed as a graffiti tag somewhere in one of the episodes. It wouldn't look out of the ordinary or be particularly conspicuous, but it's a unique thing that you can't just buy - for that reason I think it would be quite special and make a really nice prize.

I read this and actually snorted at myself because I forgot tomorrow is Tuesday, and I don't have a prompt yet. Aieeeee!
Well, I don't have a regular schedule. I don't usually know which day of the week it is. Add to that that I'm never up at the same time and by the time I realise it's Tuesday it might have already turned Wednesday.
And it all went horribly downhill from there.
Who started this anyways?

the "best male and female user on this site" thread did.
How about something like: "Our Telltale Art"?
Or, I like the tagline: "What's sharper? Your pencil or your wit?"
Seeing as you guys tell tales and all...

"We" is first person, plural. "He/she/it" in singular or "they" in plural is third person ("you" is second person).
sounds more like a writing contest
I have no idea.

"Our favorite podcasters" is still third person though.

Because he's a dragon, not a dinosaur?
And seriously, I am not kidding. As in, not some April Fools suggestion or something. I'm very serious about this one.
Oh, and they should definitely contact Media Molecule to make sackboys of the employees.

This is what I was referring to.
Again.
Jake and Vanaman are Idly Thumbing a lot.
They both have inky quills.
