Yes, yes, very good...
My dream consisted of me trying to rule an entire kingdom of monkeys in Denmark.
Aha! Veeeery interezting!
The kingdom you zpeak ov might symbolize society. And the monkeys, people! Of course!
I kept fecking up for some reason, and people kept trying to poison me for no apparent reason (i'm talking every person who gets anywhere near me).
Hmmm, poizon can symbolize fish. You don't like fish, do you? ...I zee...
Then the whole thing ended up going farcically after a guy named Charles (no, really) decided to invade because I married his fiancee (who was one of my ex's and who has turned up in my dreams as Kate Capsize before now).
Ah, but of courze! Zis is very vell known as ze Monkey Island Complex. Freud himself spoke about zis... it iz veeeery rare, and common along MI fanz... Charles is just another way of saying "LeChuck"! go on, go on...
Then my dad came in just before he was about to dual me and I had to keep apologizing for ruining his kingdom.
Ahaaa! Zis is nothing special...it's just your own psychotic breakdown. No worries.
There probably would have been a fun finale, but just at that moment some tosser on a motorbike decided to start revving it for about ten minutes, at seven AM
Hmmm...zee motorcylce may symbolize zee..errr, wait, you finished dream, yes? Sorry, I thought it was in dream.
Conclusion: get some help. But no worries, nothing wrong wiz you. But zeriouzly, get help. And Ice Cream. Yes, that helps... It helps me concentrate on my patientz.
(just to be safe, this is a joke of an interpretation, don't believe anything I say here
Another satisfied patient... Next please!
especially the fish thing
np: Whitetree - Light On Light (Cloudland)
Guybrush and Elaine were visiting LeChuck's fortress for Christmas (at least I think it was Christmas by the presence of a huge Christmas present-like wrapped box), and Guybrush and LeChuck got into some kind of argument. Then Lechuck said something like, "I'd like you a lot better if you brought me some better wine/booze/alcoholic beverage (something on those lines). Then they sort of laughed a bit and Guybrush said, "Yeah, some real high end/top shelf stuff."
Then it all starts to fade away, only I think at one point Guybrush climbs up the MASSIVE Christmas present and tries to open it.
Now, I would imagine the giant Christmas present represents ToMI, and trying to open it early would be my impatience over its release date, but I can't make heads or tails of the rest.

Hm-hmmm... LeChuck's fortrezz... That rhymes with Confezz... that rhymes with Regrezz... which could mean Retarded. Veeery interesting!
Huge Christmas present... hmmm... It's like a gift...only it's a present... for Christmas. Santa? Does Santa ring any bells?
Argument...aha!
.
.
No wait...nothing, go on....
Then Lechuck said something like, "I'd like you a lot better if you brought me some better wine/booze/alcoholic beverage (something on those lines).
Hmmm, booze. It's like zaying... drink...only, he says...booze. Waz your mother's father bald?
Then they sort of laughed a bit and Guybrush said, "Yeah, some real high end/top shelf stuff."
You should stop watching the Young and the Restless.
Then it all starts to fade away, only I think at one point Guybrush climbs up the MASSIVE Christmas present and tries to open it.
I zee! This is perfectly normal. I would try that as well if I had an enormous prezent like zat in my house...fortress... ... retarded.
Now, I would imagine the giant Christmas present represents ToMI, and trying to open it early would be my impatience over its release date, but I can't make heads or tails of the rest.
No no no, ze patient iz never right. Your dream zignifies ze torment you go through wiz your way of...of... errr...mmmmyes!
Just stay away vrom booooze! It'z not good vor you...mmyes.
And if zat doesn't work, try bubblegum with watermellon flavour. It'z not going to help, but it's tasty... I swallowed a piece of bubblegum once. It wasn't pretty. It was pink.
Thank you, satisfied patient!
Next please!
I keep having wetdreams about Elaine and this hugemonkey. But when the scene is about to start i feel like i need to go to the bathroom and do #2, and i see Guybrush (looking like monkey island 1) entering into the bathroom. Then it all goes dark and i hear Guybrush voice saying "Thats the second biggest crap i've seen in all my life!" And then it all comes back and i see Monkeys LOTS of Monkeys fighting and saying "ook ack eek" And i cry so hard, i cry so much cuzz i feel pain inside my heart. I wake up all sweaty, shaking and crying. I call it a wet dream cuzz im all sweaty!

lol
I'm more reminded of Anger Management: A guy supposed to be helping people, when he seems like he needs help more
And then in that night the solution came to me in a dream!
Monkey Island has a psychological impact in the cat I had during '92. I played MI during nights and then he came everynight and hunted the cursor cross! :-P
So amazing memories playing TSOMI for the first time! I just can't help but feel that I want TOMI to emulate that feeling just a little.
Lol, indeed! Velcome, zit down and tell me all about it!

Hoooly S**T ! !
But when the scene is about to start i feel like i need to go to the bathroom and do #2, and i see Guybrush (looking like monkey island 1) entering into the bathroom.
Aha, I zee... Veeeery strange association. Did you even like the Monkey Island gamez?
Then it all goes dark and i hear Guybrush voice saying "Thats the second biggest crap i've seen in all my life!"
Hmmm, typical yet strange! Have you ever fallen down the stairs when you vere little? Very little? Still in pregnancy stage?
And then it all comes back and i see Monkeys LOTS of Monkeys fighting and saying "ook ack eek"

Well, it was a few days ago. I dreamt that I was stuck in Guybrush's body for 5 years.
The first year was a happy year. Full of happiness and good laughs. I met some really interesting people then too. The second year was also happy, full of crazy experiences and more laughs, though it ended on a confusing note. The third year was a bit different; I lost a lot of weight, and I lost facial hair as well, though it was still happy and full of laughter.
And then comes the fourth year. I remember looking at a mirror, and saw nothing but a soulless mannequin. I had to attack and insult monkeys (why? I don't know) and all this piratey world became less and less piratey.
Then Darth Vader shows up and tried to kill me, but he only put me in a coma.
I spent my fifth year in this coma, unable to move, only hoping that it would end soon so I can be alive again in my sixth year.
IF it helps I've seen a few of you other videos
Pie is confusing and hilarious.
First of all, I will respond to everybody soon (I just came home from work)
Second...I allready have a series made with my brother! Check it out:

You know how long that would take? I woke up with that song in my head yesterday
I agree, it would be cheap to make, and would have a small chance of becoming a cult hit

Wow! That could be a cool horror movie!

Sssso, you're trying to tell me zat...you... hate....monkeyz?

: ) ) ) Thanks. I was kidding with the subribing thing. But I'm glad you liked pie. Actually that was made for a contest...but we didn't win.
Thanks
I laughed at this.
Yeah, but but that's gonna take me at least 6 or 7 days!
Well, it's not exactly a cult hit yet... We'll see
Next patient, pleaze!
I said small chance!
I find it truly fascinating how a clip can make our inner child squeak with joy and excitement! I really had to constrain myself not to go around in the office, screaming at my coleagues "Look! Look! It's Guybrush! It's LeChuck! It's Elaine! Oooh, look what Guybrush did! Oh my Gooood!"
How did you guys react to it? Someone (I'm not sure who or where) posted something like "it's good to laugh after 9 years without MI". Did it bring back the same joy to you?
(I know there is a thread in which people can discuss the new clip, but I'm just curious from the "feelings" point of view)
The end result: EEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I am excited.
at my work-place...
?
And creepy.
(Then again, I was also the one that colored it, so I'm kinda attached to it...)
np: Tocotronic - Jenseits Des Kanals (K.O.O.K.)
Well... the other night I did dream of being chased by a three headed porcelain vase while trying desperately not to fall into quicksand.
Am I going crazy Doctor? :eek:
Vell, vell, vell... my dear patient,
Tell me more about zis...three-headed porcelain vaze! Help me underztand zis: What exact portion of the vaze reprezentz it'z head?
Porcelain might reprezent your repressed memories. Like, when you fell into swimming pool when you were three years old. And never got out. And drowned.
Surely, you felt better afterwardz, but ze tragic event remains buried deeeep into your brrrain. Tragic story. Maybe you should go and see a psychologizt!
...wait.. I'M a psychologizt! Lucky for you! You so lucky! Yes... zat will be 300 dollars pleaze!
Now zat ve all played Talez ov Monkey Izland, ve can all talk, yez? Group therapy, that's ze key!
You can all tell ze good doktor about your experience wiz ze game. Who wantz to go first? Did it remind you of your mother?
