And if another dev team does take over DNF, I... I hope it doesn't, actually. I hope it will get officialy cancelled, actually. I mean, one can always start a NEW Duke Nukem Project, for that matter (not that every reincarnation of DNF can't be counted as new, though...). I mean, it's been how many years... like... 10? And there will be at least a few years more, just too much hype to meet the expectations. If there is any hype left... (well, as soon as it would've been released there would be SO MUCH hype, actually).
EFMI was a great game. I know a lot of people hate it. But I must admit the creators tried too hard to make it into their own. I wasn't bothered with the Herman part, but the real secret of monkey island revelation annoyed me. I don't even count it as the real secret. Ron Gilbert has the domain to that, it's his job wether he ever wants to reveal it or not. I don't care what creators do to change the world of MI but the secret must be left alone imo.

It's on hold 'cause 3DRealms spent all their money. It's been 12(!) years... At least we got Duke Nukem, Manhattan projcet to finnish off the Dukeseries, as I don't think He will be so popular again due to the developmenttime for Forever...
EMI was okay.... although I do feel it was the worst of the series. While I think it looks better than 1 & 2, that is only because of the graphical limitations when those were made. CoMI, as most would agree, looked and played the best.
Personally, I still think EMI is overall a decent game..... it IS Monkey Island, afterall, and still had some MI style humor in it.
However, three things really bothered me the most about it: The controls, Monkey Kombat, and the whole robotic Monkey Head thing. Just bad.

It would have been, if they had not screwed up the controllsystem and if they droped the monkey Kombat....

That's actually what happens when you've got full creative control (especially if, by some chances, you didn't) and a lot of money. There's absolutely no reason to release the project, and, well, we do know that there's always way for perfection... and we do remember what happened to Daikatana (another example of full creative control)...
What do you guys think about the upcoming encounter between Morgan and Elaine? I'm actually thinking I'm going to root for Morgan. I think she's much cooler than boring Elaine...

I personally really like Morgan, and like Gilbert said he never really intended for Elaine and Guybrush to get married.
However even though I want Morgan to win Elaine needs to prevail!

And number four. The classic mistake of thinking that "if we throw in every crazy thing we can think of like starbucks and tourism and lots and lots of crap that clashes with the theme, then it will be funny and great!"
You have whackiness and you have desperate whackiness.

Theres an encounter? Not only does that sound intresting, but it also means hopefully I can get the Elaine & Morgan wallpaper I requested not too long ago!

Well, they have to meet eventually. And with the sequence in 3rd episode where we see that Morgan is hoping for Guybrush to step up to it (where he of course don't get anything at all), I think we can expect more... I say we demand more!
Morgan could end up with Lechuck. I also don´t know what I would think if the "revelation" is that Elaine is pregnant (would be sort of Superman´s kid on this weird movie)

I'll say. I've been quite hooked on the storyline between Guybrush & Morgan. And I have to admit I was hoping he would pick up on it in chapter 3, especially as I highly suspect that something could be going on between Elaine & LeChuck. (Theres some words I never thought i'd say.)

Actually, officialy it's on hold.

Do you know where you Monkey Island chapters are?

Damn GMT.
It's a good thing that Citizen Kane was never released! :cool:

CMI is to Charlie on Lost as EMI is to Nikki and Paulo on Lost.
CMI is to Classic Disney as EMI is to Hannah Montana.
I want an alternative ending in which Elaine goes off with Morgan.
But yes, I do prefer Morgan to Elaine. She's actually got more character, whereas I find Elaine quite bland.

Yeah, and Guybush gets his Winslow...
The Woodoolady
I seccond that...
Nikki on Lost is actually really hot, but if you say so
