    No Stan until NOW. There are 5 (yes five) episodes. They cannot possibly put every character in the first one. Where would be the surprise in that.

    And he was mentioned is LotSN by Doro.

    I think that Stan should have been in all episodes, selling different things in each one, like a Monkey Island mix from Sybil and Bosco

    Premature exclaimation.

    Just give it time, you don't see Stan on every island in the earlier games, do you?

    Yeah, I think we can be fairly sure he will turn up in a later episode. He seems to be everybodys favourite besides Murray.

    He will undoubtedly be in a later episode. He was referenced by D'oro (some sales man in a jacket waving his arms around) and when you pick up the bombs (they are stans own make)

    Personally, i find references to be better than actually meeting him. He was awful in EfMI and just felt shoehorned in. I don't want that to happen again.

    Perhaps in ToMI, he should sell shoehorns.

    Stan always feels out of place, that is what makes him such a great character. After his odd success as a character in MI1, he has basically been shoehorned into EVERY game, not just 4. That is part of the reason I find him so funny, just seeing what weird scam he is running now.

    He felt much more integrated into CMI (used for a couple of puzzles) i haven't played MI2 so i can't comment.

    Stan was the best when selling previously used coffins. :D I hope they don't make him some stupid paper-work salesman again. Well, okay, it worked well with selling insurance in CMI, but he was completely unfunny in EMI, and I don't even think his job made a difference at all.

    But I thought LucasArts was brilliant to have Stan stuck in a coffin in CMI - it's good to have some continuity sometimes, and a decent explanation why he changed his business.

    I loved stan, but in 4 he was bad.

    I just hope his hat will look cool! That makes about 50% of his character.

    other 25 % abt the charecter is the whacky background music ..love that

    I wonder what percent of Stan's awesomeness is the completely static pattern on his coat... a pretty big percent I'd say.

    12.5 I'd say, with the remainder being attitude.
    Note that none of the cut went into 'salesmanship'.

    His hat rocks, but I thought his crazy hand/foot/arm/facial expressions made 50% of his character.

    That's kinda odd, because he fits so well into CoMI exactly because of what you do to him in MI 2. I would have thought his appearance just too random if I hadn't played MI 2.

    I agree Stan should show up at some point because yes he's a staple character that's been in every game so far, with that said tho.. I have to admit something...

    A part of me... hates Stan. I think he's funny and I don't mind when he shows up but, a part of me just hates him... I'll leave it that :D

    I'm certain to be unpopular amongst many MI fans now I suppose. :p



    ...Maybe it was that one time he crashed the game in SoMI, I dunno...

    Well now he'll know what to do when he runs into him in MI2 I suppose... Accidental spoiler? heheh

    It's got to be over 50%...

    i think a little percentage goes to the purple font as well in subtitles used on Stan...kinda pimps the charecter lol

    I think it would be incredibly obnoxious if Stan was in every episode.

    If Stan is in an episode but not his theme tune from MI 2 through 4, every member of Telltale's music staff will be mysteriously murdered.
