How has the legendary pirate Guybrush Threepwood done you wrong?
Enter the Tales of Monkey Island contest, and your words could appear in an upcoming episode!
SAN RAFAEL, CA, July 14, 2009 – What's your opinion of that
scoundrel, Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate? Telltale is announcing the
unique chance to put your words into the mouths of pirates in an upcoming
episode with the Tales of Monkey Island dialogue contest that begins
today. To enter, flex your funny bone and send Telltale a one-liner that
explains how Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate, wronged you in some way. The
funniest and most imaginative entries will be submitted for consideration to be
recorded by Tales of Monkey Island voice talent and inclusion in an
upcoming game episode.
Tales of Monkey Islandis a brand-new pirate adventure told across five months, set in the universe made famous in LucasArts' popular Monkey Island™ game series. Telltale is bringing all the drama, intrigue, and swashbuckling adventure of Monkey Island to today's gamers in this five episode saga, which premiered last week at www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland
for PC.
In the series' first chapter, "Launch of the Screaming
Narwhal," Guybrush washes up on the shores of Flotsam Island after a
heated—and unsuccessful—battle with his arch-nemesis, the demon
pirate LeChuck. His quest: to rescue his wife Elaine, to clear up the voodoo
pox that's infecting pirates across the Caribbean, and to finish off LeChuck
once and for all. But first, he'll have to find his way off an island plagued
by winds that always blow inward, while giving the slip to a maniacal scientist
who keeps trying to cut off Guybrush's pox-infected hand. And that's only the
beginning of the Mighty Pirate's five-month adventures! The dialog line
from the contest winner may appear in a pivotal scene within the penultimate
chapter of the saga this October.
In addition to featuring the winning entries in an upcoming
episode, contest winners may appear in the game credits and be eligible
for other great prizes. The contest kicked off today, July 14, 2009 just before
noon PST, and runs through midnight PST, August 10, 2009. Additional
contest details can be found at http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland/contest.
