Thank You -- From Dominic
Hey, everybody!
I hate to clog up the 'tubes with another thank you thread, but with chapter five imminent and Monkey Island once again about to sail off into the sunset until who-knows-when (me included!), I just wanted to take a moment to thank everybody who loves the series and has made its resurrection so exciting.
It probably goes without saying, but even if I hadn't been a huge fan of Monkey Island before getting to work on it, I can't imagine it not being the highlight of my time in voiceover. There's nothing else I've worked on where people love it so much, where they're so involved in its process, and where the stakes are so high... and the pressure so great :-)
But all of you have been incredibly kind and supportive, and while I imagined there would be a lot of excitement when Monkey Island's return was announced, reality has most definitely eclipsed my wildest expectations. The excitement, the support, the throngs at PAX, the e-mails, the drawings, the movies... criminy, the birthday wishes!...well, it's a thing to behold :-)
So I'm going to cut this short before I really start to ramble, but suffice it to say that while I appreciate the things you've had to say, I'm the one who should be thanking you, because I've been incredibly lucky to be able to work on Guybrush all these years, and it wouldn't mean anything without your support.
You guys absolutely rock, and I (really, really, really) hope we get to do this again soon!

Thank you!
BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
See ye sometime soon then?
Hope we hear from you again pretty soon!
Now, about that Guybrush GPS voice... ; )
Guys, do I speak for us all when I just say: DITO?
Thanks for being Guybrush, Dom!!
OMG! That would be so much better than the snobby woman that tells me to 'turn around where possible' on bridges!
Innovative substitute directions, that get you there just about how you intended.
"Use... Map... Yourself!"
Dom, it's been a real pleasure!
And I also hope we can do this again very soon, and for a very long time!
Hope you have a good Christmas and good luck with the move to Phoenix by the way that you mentioned on your blog.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
see you next year? ( or hear you next year?)
Seriously, thanks to your great voice-acting job in the Monkey Island series, the transition from the old subtitles-only games was much easier than I expected, back when CMI was released. Your voice has become just as iconic as Guybrush himself.
Just a final question... was it fun recording the "how much wood..." lines?
But I thank you for your best portrayal of Guybrush (so far?) and also, for being here at the forums, actually "talking" with us. I know it sounds kinda "nerdy", but that's how I feel... And anyway, aren't we all nerds after all?
Again, thank you Dominic.
thank YOU!!!
Right back at you!
The cast, crew, and forum people who have made MI's resurrection such a fantastic experience are very much appreciated - thanks guys!!
Thanks for your dedication and your desire to do this for the fans. I can guarantee that it means a lot to me and it would appear from everyone here.
I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope, as well as most, that the next installment will come sooner than later.
Thanks!
THANKYOU Dom!

Just kidding.
I can't believe it's the end already. Not ready to say goodbye to MI again. *sob* Really hope to see/hear you return for either/or series 2 or Monkey Island 2: Special Edition. ... Or Monkey Island: The Movie!
Bye!
Hope to hear Guybrush not long after the fifth episode!
lol!!! :d
Let me also take this opportunity to point out to Telltale that a season 2 of Tales of Monkey Island would be a guarantee of my money in your bank.
Now that I mention it, so would a season 3 of Sam and Max. Here's hoping for both.
You are truly an amazing person. Someone who goes out of their way to talk and even thank the fans on the forums, well that's just being an overall awesome guy. I could think of no other being Guybrush Threepwood other than you, and for you to jump back into character was probably the greatest treat any of us as fans could get, and for that really am thankful that you are still being the Mighty Pirate. So to end this soon-to-be long diatribe; thank you Dominic, for the 5 (plus SMI:SE!) greatest months all of us had ever had, and may we see you very soon in a hopeful second season of Tales of Monkey Island.

P.S.
Keep in touch with us fans!
I can still remember that first time I heard the voice of Guybrush Threepwood on Escape. Never once Did I question that your voice was not Guybrush Threepwood's very own. I think you have always done excellent work and that why you got that job in the first place. Fact is that you have endured the lifecycle of this Series, and it is a credit to your skills and dedication. Indeed, we the fans should thank you.
