There is currently 26 days before the first episode is released, just as a quick question how is everyone passing the time?

I personally am making a LeChuck doll.

Here are some pics...

    Good work!

    I've mainly been playing S&M s2, MI4 and constantly pressing F5 whilst viewing these forums!

    Other than making craptastic fan paintings I have been juggling chainsaws and playing inappropriate touch football with my wife.

    Shame you can't make him talk like in Curse, "Math is hard! Let's go shopping!" :)

    How does that work anyways? How do you get the pulley on the rope without untying it?

    But you can't balance the pulley on a line.

    Playing all the adventures I've got. I love it.

    Sam: Max, I'm thinking of a number between one and ten, and I don't know why.
    Max: Me too.

    I'm creating DVD covers for my old LucasArts games. So far I've created ones for DOTT and COMI in the style of the DVD covers from Adventure-Treff since the guy who did those never made covers for DOTT or COMI. I'll be doing EMI, Grim Fandango, Zak McKracken, Infernal Machine, Emperor's Tomb and possibly Maniac Mansion later on.

    What I got so far:

    Where do you go to get those printed? (The DVD covers - I mean, what device. Is that from a normal printer?)

    Replaying the games. MI1 played fine but MI2 (which is on the same "Monkey Island Madness" disc) has picture but no sound.

    Anybody else have this problem?

    Have you tried running it through the SCUMM VM engine? Every time I've had a problem with something like that, I run it through SCUMM and everything works fine.

    I've been re-playing MI1 and 2, mixed in with some Grim Fandango and topped off with some SBCG4AP.

    Heh, well seeing as they're all CD versions of each game they don't need any code wheels. :P Didn't somebody on this forum make jewel case-sized code wheels for himself?

    Just from my own printer, yes. I use matted presentation paper. Seems to work well enough. Prints a little dark, though, and the red isn't as strong as I'd like (my printer is only an Epson Stylus NX100). But it looks pretty darn fine on the shelf.

    Bear with me... How do I run it through the Scumm VM engine?

    Instructions are all there. Your sound probably doesn't work because you're using Win2000/XP/Vista which doesn't support DOS games anymore.

    Passing the time by doing anything Monkey Island related that I can, musically, artistically, ...game-playing..ly..

    Just found this great post from Emily. The video on G4 features gameplay I haven't seen anywhere else.

    OK, thanks. It's an old laptop that runs XP, but it plays MI 1, 3 and 4 just fine. And 2 even plays, just without sound. I'll see if this helps...

    I've actually been quite busy lately! It seems I'm traveling all over the US this summer, and it's keeping me occupied to the point that I still haven't actually played past the first couple puzzles of Last Resort!

    This isn't a wait, really. Going straight from one Telltale series into another? My wallet hates it, but the piece of gray matter responsible for happiness is loving it!

    Tried to play Escape but failed, I may attempt the other LA adventures I never got round to finishing, Grim Fandango and Full Throttle.

    I just discovered Sam & Max (I only heard about them before), so I've got plenty to do..!
    Also, I keep reading the forums.
    About the chicken with the pulley.. haha, I did one just like that some time ago! But that's more useless that the SoMI one!

    I've just played through Secret, Revenge & Curse in the last week. Moving on to Escape now. After that, I'll probably move on to Grim Fandango and by that time W&G epsiode 3 should be out.

    You may think MI1 is running fine but it isn't. The only reason you hear the music and certain sound effects (beach/waterfront, jungle ambiance and such) is because they're CD audio tracks. Unless you hear sounds when you open/close doors you're not getting any sound in MI1 either. WinXP doesn't support sound in DOS. You should use ScummVM for both of those games. MI3 and MI4 run fine because they're Windows games and not DOS games.
