I just might be able to participate in that. Due to an unlikely combination of promotions (namely, the Monkey Island free episode, the free Sam and Max 201 promotion on the samandmax2010.com site, the free shipping on orders over $25, and the 25% off promotion), I'm in a position to get both seasons of Sam and Max for the price of one. Now I just have to secure the funds...
So congratulations to OzzieMonkey! I have no idea how the hell you pulled it off, but you beat the rest of us by a mile. You win...bragging rights! Thanks to everyone who came to watch us and to the other participants for a fun race. I'm looking forward to the Great Sam and Max and Monkey Island Races of 2010!

There is only one thing to do now

Those of you who did the race, any interest in posting your completion time per game? (MI1, MI2, CMI, EMI, TMI)? I'm curious how multiple peoples regulated playthroughs stack up against each other. It's rare to see so many people play through the same games with strict requirements on what should and shouldn't be skipped, etc.
It's cool to see you taking interest. All of the completion times per game are posted throughout the thread, and I have all of them collected in the first post. We even broke Tales down by time taken to complete each chapter.
Okay, because I'm a geek that way, I'm going to toss out a few extra achievements.
Shortest time on The Secret of Monkey Island: IcedHope (1:23)
Shortest time on Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge: IcedHope (1:45)
Shortest time on The Curse of Monkey Island: GuruGuru214 (2:30)
Shortest time on Escape from Monkey Island: OzzieMonkey (3:30)
Shortest time on Tales of Monkey Island: OzzieMonkey (6:04)
Most endurance (longest time on Escape from Monkey Island without giving up): IcedHope (12:00)
Most stick-to-itiveness: harald
Closest competitors: apenpaap and GuruGuru214 (thanks for such a close and exciting race!)
Most absent: Secret Fawful
Best fan: TPravetz
Best supporter of everyone:TPravetz
Most Helpful: Tpravetz and Mickey
Best Lava Puzzle stuckness: harald
Best report on the GMIR: TPravetz (http://tinyurl.com/2gmr09) Sure I was the only reporter, but I definitely was the best.
And now for the prizes:
The golden chicken goes to OzzieMonkey, with a time of 15:54.
The silver chicken goes to GuruGuru214 with a time of 21:05.
The bronze chicken goes to apenpaap with a time of 21:21.
Well, this was fun as always, and you know...I think I'm going to clock myself, playing Secret and Lechucks Revenge again live sometime soon, and as for the Sam&Max run through, I think it will be the anniversary of the comic or three days prior to the release of Season 3, and I might contact child's play, and do it for a charity thing.
I know none of us know when season 3 is being released, but when is the comic's anniversary?
Stupid Telltale store isn't accepting my order number for season 2 (even though it did the night before last, but I didn't have an episode of season 1 yet, so I cancelled), so I can't get it to give me the season upgrade price, and the Telltale support office is going to be empty until the 4th. Here's hoping they'll still give me the 25% off and free shipping if they can't get back to me before the sale is over.

The Golden Man goes to Ozzie Monkey,
The Silver Monkey Head goes to GuruGuru214 ,
The Bronze hat of Tiny Lafeete goes to Apenpaap!
Oh and who gets the Melee Island gubernatorial seal?

Wait, so does that mean I get the monkey mug or the giant monkey head? Either way, awesome!

Yays! I was helpful! =D

And cool, I'm stick-to-itive! I wonder what that means.
Let's do this again some time, absolutely.
The Golden Man goes to Ozzie Monkey,
The Silver Monkey Head goes to GuruGuru214 ,
The Bronze hat of Tiny Lafeete goes to Apenpaap!

I took it from Tales, when Guybrush said something about someone's (Morgan's?) stick-to-itiveness.
Also, I considered giving Fawful "Most not-appearing-in-this-race", but I liked "Most absent" better.
If you want the giant monkey head, make sure you have some REALLY big pockets.
