Pyrite Parrot

edited September 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
Of all the years playing MI, I don't think I've ever laughed out as loud as when the wedding ring scene unfolded with the classic 'whose absent minded enough to lose two wedding rings' and then the appearance of the LEGENDARY parrot. If there are more timed appearances murray better watch out!

    , and I just wanted to fool around with my items :(

    I never liked the parrot. Same silly joke over and over.

    Then Guybrush stared to get annoyed with it. Now I like it.

    You get it back. Even in it's old form.

    I loved the
    parrot and hated the barbecue puzzle for it's demise, but I thought it kind of lessened it when I got the Parrot back later on, even if it did make me happy.

    Perhaps and hopefully we'll get to see the parrot take more abuse in later chapters. ;)

    Maybe it will actually be the parrot who gets executed in chapter 4, after all he does say that he is Guybrush Threepwood

    Have they used the phrase "Pyrite Pirate Parrot" yet? Because that's full-word alliteration that you don't see every day

    Guybrush is becoming more piraty with every chapter. He has the parrot from ep 1, this ep he's gotten
    a hook hand
    . I won't be surprised if a peg leg shows up in chapter 3.

    HAHAHA, so what you're saying is that you just like to make Guybrush's life miserable? I'll admit to becoming fond of the thing after a period of being completely annoyed with it too. Maybe that's just a stage we all have to go through when spending time with a parrot.

    I bet the Curse of the Pyrite Parrot, is that once you touch him, he'll never leave! We did after all..
    Get him back after he melted
    , right? :p

    I'll be pretty upset if that actually happens.

    I mean part of the pull of Guybrush for me is that he's a mighty pirate that doesn;t LOOK like a pirate. No hook, no peg leg, no eye patch.. none of that. That's part of what make guybrush unique.

    I think it's part of this game's story arch. Guybrush is becoming more evil and piratey, whereas LeChuck is becoming more good and human. I assume that's going to be the central conflict as the story unfolds.

    Same silly joke over and over? You just described the whole Monkey Island series. If you don't like that, then how can you be a Monkey Island fan.....unless....you're.....

    AN IMPOSTOR!!!!!

    Wait....why are you looking at me like that? What are you doing with that knife? Come on...your secret is safe with me.

    Stay away from me you!!!

    Um....

    Um.....

    :eek: Look behind you! A three-headed monkey?!?! :eek:

    [runs away]

    Ok, personally I don't care that much about looks because I think it's shallow.

    Didn't Guybrush own a monkey in EMI? I think his name was Timmy.

    I always wanted to see Guybrush being on the run and entering a bar wearing a ridicolous disguise - fake beard, stuffed toy parrot, pink eyepatch, etc. TMI gave me something remotely like that and I'm ok with it. The hook and the parrot were kinda funny. Getting a bit old though. I'm curious to see what's next.

    I found it quiet funny that the parrot kept talking even after it melted. XD

    I had a Weighted Companion Cube moment when I figured out I had to
    melt the parrot.

    Yeah, unless the Pirate tells Guybrush some insult sword fighting lines I'm gonna be tired of it. "There are no words for how disgusting you are." Pyrite Parrot.:p

    Yeah, the parrot is hilarious, a good running joke
    I too was sad when we had to melt him, and am glad we get him back!
    .

    BTW, is it only me who's annoyed at how Guybrush is mispronouncing pyrite? The mineral known as fools' gold (Pyrites) is pronounced "Pie-RIGHT-ees", at least, that's what I learnt.
