personally, i think graphics shouldn't get in the way of story...or take away from it...i havent played w&g, but scored the new episode with tomi...i thought the graphics served s&m well.
Ok i went to bed a 6am cos i waited all night. I just woke up at 2pm and Oh Noooeeeess its still not out yet... Now i feel even more excited. Must... have.. Monkey Island...
Hmm if it was a virtual waiting outsides the shops simulation i would have had a virtual copy 5 hours ago. :P
Im sure it wont be to long now. We are a very impatiant lot arn't we?
I hope some people dont get to upset when they complete the first episode too quickly and have to wait a whole month for the next release. So calm down guys and savor the fiasta' o flavor!
Pleeease people don't be so silly. Of course we're all excited because we haven't seen an episode of out favourite game in nine years , but does this "I can't wait" stuff make you any happier? I hope I didn't start all this by writing "I can't sleep" in my first post. I couldn't sleep then because I had worked on an important software project and my head was too full of algorithms. Everyone please do something else until it comes out. Come back after a few hours and don't break the server with pressing "download" button in the second it appears. Or else we'll have to wait much longer
If you really can't get your mind off MI, start playing one of the old episodes. Just to get into the mood.
Always controversial, isn't it? Some hate it, others love it, not too many opinions in the middle. Having a cliffhanger like that would have been a much better idea had Ron or any of us actually worked on the next game. Which, of course, we didn't, and poor Jonathan and Larry had to figure out what to do with it on their own. I thought their game was rather good.
I'm not going to say anything about what was or was not originally intended to follow that cliffhanger. I would caution you not to put too much faith into any particular rumor you might hear about it. Those who know don't tell, and those who tell don't know. Make up your own mind about what it means - that's what poetry is for (and, um, also the bizarre endings of funny computer games).
The plot thickens! That leaves me with two questions:
1. Why won't "those in the know" tell? (Will they ever change their minds?)
2. Surely the ending was quite clearly explained in the final moments of the game? We see "Chuckie" for his true self (Guybrush doesn't) and then we cut to Elaine, apparently alive and well and not a figment of anyone's imagination... So what we HAVE been told is actually quite clear, right?
Have you read the Scumm Bar's breakdown of the whole affair? Here it is, if you haven't: http://bit.ly/scummbar
Many theories have floated over the web about what really was going on in Monkey Island. Some say there are portals in the pirate world around the Caribbean; or that the secret is the location of Monkey Island itself; or, finally, because of MI2's ending, that Guybrush is just a young boy who is visiting a theme park.
On these suggestions Ron Gilbert once commented, "One is closer than the others -- but not much".
I'm not sure about that. Isn't it strange that a team member has not posted anything yet? This whole "waiting til they are in the office thing" seems strange to me. A world-wide release date of the 7th has been officially blown. I'm jest sayin' Arrgh.
They're in their bed now. And even it's not the case, that mean they spend all the night to ensure everything is ok (or drinking some champaign...).
nearly 1 am on the 8th!! they lied to me!!!!!! have to go to bed now or I wont get up for work... the game must now wait for about 20 hours before I get my next window of opertunity! going to bed and dreaming about MI...

Well, dreaming about it isn't that bad? xP
BTW, let's hope all the recent crashes leads us to an realese in about 6 minutes= 17.00 in norway!
I don't think I'll be here when it finally gets released. I'm already having forum database problems too. But I'll be back tonight! Then the swashbuckling shall commence! Thank you telltale games!
the server is going down somewhat frequently while refreshing now!! either we're too antsy, or its FINALLY here (hopefully both). And now I've taken advantage of my ability to post in the secret forum!
Got some database errors accessing the forum. It Starts.
Somewhere, deep within the caribbean, something stirs. Storm clouds gather. Rain starts to fall.
Two ships will clash. Jokes will be cracked. A villain will be "defeated". A pirate wannabe will make a terrible mistake. If you listen very carefully, you can hear the creak of masts and the flap of sails. And echoing eerily across the rolling waves, from out of the darkness, comes a demonic laugh of premature triumph...
Can't anyone from telltales team give us a hint about when the release is?
I know that you know it! And I know that you know that I want to know what you know..!
They have said when it will be. It will be during the day, Pacific Time, on the 7th. It is currently 8:15AM Pacific. It'll probably be another hour or so.
