thats not somthing to advtise with the Ozzie haters here (Ozie Mandrill not Ozzie Australians XD)
Well you're not a true Monkey Island fan until you accept everything in Monkey Island even if you hate it. Example: You may hate Escape from Monkey Island but you except it exists and is canon cause it's official material.

Plus Ozzie is one of my favourite characters
I said with the Ozzie haters I ddint say I was one of them I enjoy EMI apart from monkey . And I fully acsept it in canon even the Toothrot-Marley part till we are told otherwise

Well many series have had their plot errors and it's not first time this has ever happened ever. Plus until otherwise, we have to accept that Herman is Horatio until an OFFICIAL source says otherwise.
Plus just to say EMI is my favourite MI game. Mainly it's because it was the first MI game I ever played. I loved it how it's gameplay was identical to Grim Fandango but improved which got me so into it.
You're not a true Monkey Island fan until you lose sleep over waiting for it to release :P
I'd rather wake up on a bright, sunny, Australian morning with birds singing and flowers blooming and find the new episode of ToMI waiting for me than to get it late on a dark, lonely, dingy night . Might've exaggerated the morning and the night a little
Cone on ppl, TTG still needs to wake up and come to work. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
EST is Texas (Houston). It's like 5.00 there now...... patience...

Ok as per your request Cone on ppl try this instead Come on People
The only improvement I found between Grim Fandango and EMI is the action sentences that appeared on the low part of the screen, making a little easier to interact with the scene items. And maybe the inventory is better since you can see all the items you carry at once, not one by one.
But the character movement is even harder to control in EMI than in GF, specially in the maps or when changing from one screen to another.

Grim Fandango is a pain without a controller, I had to go and buy a $10 logitech one just for it. EMI was on ps2 and was easier...
wait a minute... I played EMI on PC....
I found Monkey Island controls easier, it was mapped to the keyboard instead of having the four buttons, I can't remember as it was ages ago but I don't remember having too many issues, but Grim Fandango was awful to control.
sorry, I just can't comprehend EMI improving over Grim Fandango in any way
Well look I'll have to admit there are more Fandango fans than EMI fans but look:
*Fandango and EMI had about the same graphics and resolution.
*EMI had mini-games.
*EMI had the added feature of combining items.
these are what I can list so far but I'm sure there are others.
I would not expect it until well into the afternoon Pacific Time. If you have somewhere to be, something to do, or sleep to be had, don't wait. Otherwise, you're going to be staring at the computer for quite sometime.
I think next time they should just put a countdown timer on the site instead of posting a date, then we can avoid threads like this..........
They specifically said it's by PST after a lot of European/Australian users complained about the first date.. I understood the anger the first time, but since then they've made it clear it won't be until much later in the day for most.
I don't think a countdown clock would work, because they're not sure exactly when it'll go up.. which is why they don't give an exact time either. I believe episode 3 was up by this time already, but episode 2 took much longer.
When they put a date and then PST, I (and apparently several others) assume it's midnight since they didn't specify a time since that date technically starts at midnight. Most likely they mean the start of business day or shortly thereafter.
I was hoping to get started playing after work since I get home just before midnight Pacific time.
no they said somewhere on the forum that that it would be later on in the day PST, so I'm guessing around 6pm - 8pm GMT, very possibly it won't be till 11pm - 12 midnight
Oh wow, it's this thread again. I would have thought by the fourth chapter people would have gotten the concept of different countries operate in different time zones but I guess not.
When I bought it, the first 3 chapters had already been released so I didn't know how long it would take. I assumed it would be midnight PST, but you know what they say happens when you assume...
a countdown would receive responses like this:
is it PST or CET countdown?
is the countdown japanese or have I imported it?
can we get another countdown to countdown?
can we really count on the countdown?
why is it called countdown when a count is something of high status? down is bad right? explain to me I'm spanish!

LOL, it's 7:40 PST right now, which I think they should make the countdown timer say:
16hrs 20minutes until Monkey Island, and then if it's out early it's a nice bonus, and nobody sits and says "where is it?" until the timer expires!
PST is on -7 not -8 right now, DST doesnt go into effect until november 2nd this year, so its actually 8:58 there right now.... so we are an hour into their workday more or less....

So: "This Friday (PST)!" on the front page isn't enough for you? PST=Pacific Standard Time. Is reading comprehension too much for you asw?

Uhhhh how is this blasphemy?
Um if you use your eyes, you can easily see both Fandango and EMI use the same engine except EMI has an updated engine. It's not rocket science.
But the character movement is even harder to control in EMI than in GF, specially in the maps or when changing from one screen to another.

Still, GF is the best adventure game ever made.

"Fourth in the legendary Monkey Island series of graphic adventures!"
"An original, cinematic story full of drama, sociopathic parrots and a villain with a sinister agenda!"
"Dozens of lusciously rendered backgrounds!"
"Hundreds of puzzles to challenge both novice and veteran pirates..er, adventurers!"
"New jokes New puns! New insults!
And more monkeys than the three previous Monkey games combined!"
"NOW SCURVY INDUCING 3D!"
Ha lol! there you go, and Grim Fandango had 0 monkeys lol
But they did have bone eating demon fire beavers which I'll have to give em that.
the monkey gauge is at 0 I guess I need more monkeys
I wouldn't be so sure about it

You have been warned.

During the day on on the 30th is a rough estimate.
At least this isn't as bad as these threads! :mad:
is it PST or CET countdown?
is the countdown japanese or have I imported it?
can we get another countdown to countdown?
can we really count on the countdown?
why is it called countdown when a count is something of high status? down is bad right? explain to me I'm spanish!
That's the spirit!
Mind you telltale has done a fantastic job, so like valve, it will be out when its ready.

:eek: Silverwolfpet you must hurry up!
