    Could you elaborate? Do the producers actually say that in game? I believe in one run I fought Kenny and won but didn't hear anything about zombie Duck (not that it wasn't obvious).

    in ep.3 when you have to ask kenny to stop the train, if you just keep choosing to be silent he will eventually throw you out of the compartment, where you go back to where duck is to see what hes been up to since becoming a walker, very nice little easter egg

    Not exactly an Easter Egg, but more of a foreshadowing. I love the fact that in Episode 2, when you're first talking to Mark, there come a point when he says "I wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with that guy.", referring to Larry.

    Also the Star Wars references from Ben and later on Molly.

    I know Ben says the line "I've got a bad feeling about this." like Luke does when they approach the Death Star, but what's the Molly line?

    Plus Molly will ask "Are you chicken?" when jumping the roof, in which Lee can reply "What did you call me?". That is a Back to the Future reference.

    Powerful 'stache. Is that anything like Kenny's?

    "I got your promise now. Not a scratch." When she lends Hilda to Lee to get the car battery.

    That Randy Tudor easter egg is awesome. I have to wonder, though. What on earth drove someone to try to talk to Kenny 5 times? Good find.

    Inside the meat locker when you are trying to figure out a way to get out and you look at the air conditioner, Clementine say "I've got a rock", a reference to Charlie Brown!

    I'm surprised no one has caught this one....

    "She wouldn't hurt a fly." The famous line to the ending of Alfred Hitcock's Psycho. The Hotel is also called Marsh House. The film Psycho visually ends on a marsh when Marion's car is being recovered.

    Also, "What's in the bag?" seems to be a reference to the film Se7en. While probably coincidental, both wives's names start with T, Tess and Tracy respectively.

    You forgot to mention in #5 that you also find Ben's corpse :') Another few seconds and you'd have Zombie Ben on your hands as well!

    After hearing the Randy Tudor thing with Kenny, I looked up Randy Tudor on Google. Turns out he's a TTG employee;

    2 and 4 I don't consider Easter Eggs IMO.

    Yeah, a couple of those aren't Easter eggs.

    In the beginning of episode one, Chet makes a reference to Puzzle Agent when he says its “hot dish night,” and there is an achievement which refers to Tales of Monkey Island called “You Fight Like A Dairy Farmer."

    I'm pretty sure she's just stating that she has a rock that could help.

    I'm not too sure if this was in tentional or not but in chapter 5, when you have been attacked by the herd at the mansion, before you run up the stairs you can kill a female walker.

    This female walker looks to be the EXACT same woman whi is in chapter 4. I dont remember her name, but she went with you to crawford (was part of Vernons gang) but was bitten in the neck

    this is a video with her in, you see her at around 9:55-10:05

    Yeah she's Brie. That's why how you killed her was more important.

    And of course the Frank Sinatra reference, Goodbye, She Quietly Says.

    Man! I didn't think ANYONE would figure that one out! :p

    And given all these references in the achievements, could Hit the Road be a reference to Sam & Max? :D

    Yup!

    There's a sign outside the warehouse in the station at the end, where you meet Omid and Christa. It's one of the company's brand that says "Ray's Auto Parts..." it remembers me where Biff fixes his car.

    Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't existed any "Ray's Auto Part" on Hill Valley but I think it did. :)

    That's actually a reference to my grandfather, who ran an auto company in Bermuda for years called Ray Brothers. :)

    that's brie there.
    brie was supposed to be a character in one episode,and appear as a walker in another (I think).
    it's in BOLD because of confusion between episode one and one episode

    I'm not sure if it is an easter egg but I think there is a reference to Back to the Future when Molly calls Lee a chicken

    You mean the return of BANAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG?
  • edited January 2013
    I still remember a really old discussion on this game(like when all we knew was that the game was about Walking Dead), Jake said how his goal is to get Banang into this game somehow. Good job Jake, you succeeded :p
  • edited January 2013
    Yes, it's about Banang !
    But I think not alot of people noticed it, am I right ?

    Trust me, you're not the only one. Those that noticed probably thought it was too obvious to mention, and probably everyone else just didn't get the connection.

    Yeah, Walking Dead isn't exactly... geared towards the Sam and Max audience, as shown by the old blog comments :(

    Just a list of easter eggs and allusions I found in episode 5 C:

    Easter Eggs:
    Randy Tudor (Powerful 'stache)
    Found by talking to Kenny 5(6?) times in the dead couple's room

    Allusions:

    You start and end the game in handcuffs. (determinant)

    The game starts with Lee picking up shotgun bullets and ends with Clem doing the same

    The walkie talkie brings together, then tears apart Lee and Clem

    You start the game killing a zombie caretaker/babysitter, only to become one yourself. (determinant)

    The game starts and ends with a child indirectly causing the death of an adult who has saved their life. (Duck/Shawn and Clem/Lee)

    The game starts with Clem handing Lee a weapon (hammer) and ends with Lee handing Clem a weapon (baseball bat)

    The game starts and ends with you being near and then killing a zombie police officer.

    Will add more :D

    Whoa whoa, how did Clem make lee die?

    Whoa whoa, how did Clem make lee die?

    Trusting Campman, and getting kidnapped by him, indirectly caused Lee to get bitten. Then when everyone went to look for her at the hospital, Vernon stole the boat. The entire group got screwed because Clem trusted this guy, and Lee, Kenny, and Ben (Determinant) all died because of it. Omid and Christa are still MIA.
