Monkey Island, it brings out the seven year old in all of us. You know what's weird? When my mom was a kid, she never wanted to be a pirate. Can you imagine? I still love her though.

They must have all had such meager existences. No Monkey Island, no Murray, not even high-speed broadband :rolleyes:

Does she want to be a pirate now? That's all that's important.

Your mom seems a little too practical to have wanted to be a pirate. I'm guessing she would make a better ninja.

Actually, she wanted to be more like an astronaut, which is why she studied physics and astronomy in college. Yet she somehow ended up in EDP instead, which is called IT now? I think? So yeah, when I was eight I wanted to be Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island, and she wanted to be Kip Russell from Have Spacesuit Will Travel. My mom is actually a bigger Geek than I am.
I also wanted to be an astronaut! Tell your mom a guy form the internet says hi. Although i didnt study physics (too dumb).
Even after playing Monkey Island, pirates werent really my thing. Until i got older, and the whole thing of "get drunk and stole women" started to make sense. That drove my attention.
Lena’s mom here, to set the record straight. I did not want to be an astronaut, but I did sort of want to go into space, preferably without being hijacked like Kip Russell. But you got pretty close, Will. While I never actually wanted to be a Ninja, I did earn a green belt in Tae Kwon Do at SF State, but far too long ago to be a danger now.
When I was growing up I wanted to be the PM (i'm English) and then I got really politically active at uni and realised all the political parties sucked and were incompetent so decided to just get drunk, which as Ignatius mentioned, kinda fits in well with Pirating.
In fact i'm off to Somalia to show 'em how it's really done
I tied up one of my not-knowing-about-Monkey-Island-friends to a chair and played throught CMI and showing him the major cut-scenes in SMI, MI2 and EMI. Now he likes it too. Yay. Brainwashing is fun!
Whoever I showed MI1 and MI2 before, said:"I wouldn't play it because of the graphics and the interface." But they still had fun with the dialogues and that's what counted these days, though the graphics were nearly high-end at that time. Today too many developers think of astonishing graphical effects while leaving the concept of gameplay and fun in game way behind. You know that the developers had no fun programming if you don't see anything funny and original on screen (ingame). Sometimes jokes are created while working and you think:"Man if other people would've been here, they sure had something to laugh." Developers can use visuals to recreate a similiar situation. If you only talk about the situation half the fun goes away because you have to imagine the situation plus the reason why it's funny.
I trully agree with you. Honeslty, I played fangames based upon Monkey Island that were better than anything new on the market at this moment (except ToMI ). I actually bought a playstation 2 console, so that I can play old games that were based upon gameplay, rather than graphics.
Off-Topic: Sly Cooper rulz.
Ninjas?? In ToMI?? Hmmm...
Maybe...Monkey Ninjas! That would be...umm..lame.
How about Ninja Murray! Muahahahahahaha! With the famous "Fire-Monkey Kick"...ummm...using his forehead!
I wonder if we may also get to hear the lines again: "I'm selling these fine leather jackets"... ah the fun of ooo I know that from this game... (OT: Just like a few moments from S&M when you recognise something from the old game)
I just realised it's still 13 days till the release... I don't know that I will last that long...
My question tho, is why only the Wii? SMI:SE is on 360 so why not ToMI?
^ Heeeeeeey! No fair! I was sleeping! stupid time difference...region...thing
Those look great! And I AM doing a lot of digging here! I'm a VIP - Very Important Pirate, comes with shovel, gun and Indy Whip, BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.
Also, today I'm going to finish a little surprise for everybody, including you guys at TTG. So, make sure YOU will be doing some good digging, matey! For I shall post it only once! Bwahahahahaha-haha-ha-ha? mmyeah. Thanks.
Is there any chance of getting a non-eurogamey version of that screenshot? I'd quite like to use an unbranded version in a post I have going up tonight and would rather not crop it.

Murray stole your keyboard again? How did he use the keys though? Hmmm...
Granted, he needs an extra sized keyboard to accomplish this. BUT IT IS AN EVIL OVERSIZED KEYBOARD! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Pirate is even on my real business cards as one of the many services I offer.
You wouldn't happen to work for a major bank by any chance? :-)

We'll have more stuff for you before the game's out, don't worry.
Phew, for a second I misread that as "when" the game's out... What a relief XD
Yes.
W00t! \o/
Do you have the stuff now?
How 'bout now?
Is now okay?
Now?
I just realised it's still 13 days till the release... I don't know that I will last that long...

You didn't see this?
... or this?
You gotta spend more time digging around the private forum!

Is it July 7th yet? Is it now? What about now?
(Amazing how one and a half screenshots can affect me so...)
Woo! Chapter screens!
...and monkies...labotomising Threepwood! Finally!
hee-hee-hee! By the way, I allready posted it. Hint: on the questions for Dom thread.
Seriously, that's a good game.
Well, we're doing Wallace & Gromit and Sam & Max on XBLA right now. We try to spread the love around.
I figure that they're planning to full-on Clockwork Orange him.
