    Lot's of swedes here. Did you all start with MI on Amiga floppies like me? still have the boxes from alot of lucas arts games, mi, mi2, loom, cruise for a corpse (maybe not lucas) etc.
    Yes.
    I stupidly sold my Amiga to my best friend of the time :rolleyes: Fell out with him soon after. I miss it :( Thank god for ScummVM. I remember losing one of my discs for Revenge, I never got to finish it on the Amiga.

    It's still only 4:30AM where Telltale is at in San Rafael, CA... which means it will probably be another 5-7 more hours til the team gets back in the office, checks their emails, makes sure their test team found no major bugs and releases the game.

    Ooouch, not good. but atleast you got to play it on ScummVM. I've played MI on alot of consoles thanks to that great little app.

    I just realized how perfectly Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin fits into this situation... "Been a long time since I Rock and Roll!"--> "Been a long time since I play Monkey Island!" .... I should make a song.

    I have been listening to MI tunes the whole week. And I have replayed all Monkey Island games...

    I think it sucks how I am the only one among my friends who is into Monkey Island. When I heard about Tales, I was so fricking psyched! I told my friends, but they were like "meh".

    So thank God for the internet! Where Monkey Island fans all over the globe can enthusiastically anticipate the 'launch' (see what I did there?) of a new MI game!

    I feel ya. I only got a mate irl who is as psyched as me. 3 days ago, I had updated msn profile with title "shiver me timbers, its almost here" and a link to the game. Someone replied it with "you playing kids games?". How bout that? :D

    Omg..... How excited wold you guys be, especially Instagib, if they released a Monkey Island: Street Fighter game for download at the same time!

    It would be awesome to have such "minigame" in on of ToMI episode :D
    So...am I the only one who's had a Monkey Island theme ringtone over the past few days?

    Hope you guys wont be scared of me now, but i had one since Monkey Island 3 :> (didnt really changed it ever ^^)
    I should get paid by Lucas arts or Telltale for it or? ^^

    Ah I understand. You got a good point there :)
    I always loved Vega and been trying to learn him very well. Its damn hard to get a good grasp of his style. Tho I also like playing ryu/ken :)

    Oh lol, i totally forgot about Vega(claw), he was the coolest from all, after him guile/dhalsim, but afaik he is pretty weak in every sf, but i sure will play him too :)

    this forum looks like the WOW-Forums if the downtime was extended for 10 more Minutes...

    You'll get it early enough, just keep the feeling of being happy to get it (FINALLY, not ever expected...) - if you have it this feeling won't ever come back...

    No that's already up check on the main forum page, it should be a section right under the regular monkey island one.

    Okay, I'm giving in. Its quarter to 10 and I really need to sleep =[
    I'm guessing it's going to be out in the next 8 hours or so, so have fun everybody! I'm sad to miss the actual release.
    Just don't tell me it came out five minutes after I went to bed. :p

    It's 9:45pm in Melbourne, Australia. Threepwood is a no show.... But I guess this means i've got something to look forward to tomorrow?

    I've waited this long for another Monkey Island... I think I can wait a little longer ;)

    Happy days, Happy days! :) :)
  • edited July 2009
    The 'special section' is a separate area of the forum and yes, it's already there. Got some pretty cool stuff too ^_^

    9:47pm in Sydney - I'd stay up all night, but I've got an early morning gosh darnit.

    It's the last week of term for school and Tales is the only thing keeping me awake during the day.

    Is monkey island enough of a reason to call in sick to work?

    I think so.....we'll find out soon enough if my boss agrees.

    So.... What in-jokes do you guys hope to see in Launch of the Screaming Narwhal? I hope to see some porcelain-loathing action! ;)
