I have been a regular visitor of Mixnmojo for a long time. Although I cannot recall the exact date when I started, it must have been in 1998 or 1999 as I remember reading rumors and news about the upcoming Escape from Monkey Island. The International House of Mojo was also a significant part of my website history as it was the first proper hosting I had. Before that, the site was hosted on Geocities and Xoom, among others, which were always a pain to manage. I remember having to ask several times to get hosting and getting rejected. Mojo already had many Monkey Island sites and they didn’t want to add one more. Eventually, they did accept after several tries. Being part of Mojo also meant creating a mini-website from time to time due to server issues. These were websites temporarily hosted somewhere else with just news updates while waiting for the problem to be solved. Unfortunately, one of the downtimes was partially my fault. I was using a forum from phpBB with many modifications. That meant updating phpBB to newer versions was really difficult. Eventually, a Brazilian hacker used a known exploit from an older phpBB version and managed to get access to the server. Sorry for that!! I still visit this website almost daily to check for news and see what is being said on this forum. I hope you stick around for at least another 25 years. Happy 25th anniversary!

It is self-adhesive photo paper A3 print at home on inkjet The box I make also it’s 2mm cardboard the box get very hard and sturdy. It can’t be folded so I cut and glue it. then print and cut the paper, glue it on, fold it and finish 😃 It just needs to be exact size so the box and wrap match

I wish I had joined much much earlier. I was part of a few communities centered around Bad Brain Entertainment (anyone remember those?), Telltale and Ron's newer games, but it took Return and grumpygamer shutting down to get me to seek you guys out finally.

Somehow time keeps passing, and it’s been over 25 years since Mixnmojo opened. Jason got a bunch of past and present staff to take a look back over the decades and pick their favorite articles from the site. (I took the most harassing to turn in my homework!) https://mixnmojo.com/features/sitefeatures/25-Years-of-Mojo-Staff-Picks Not sure if anyone else has any Mojo nostalgia, as that is admittedly a weird thing to have, but if you do, drop some memories or trivia or whatever it is in here.

Oh, we’re doing a bonus disc? I wanted to avoid including any of my own stuff in my list, but within the disreputability of the forums I’m comfortable singling out Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix: The Lost Sequel to Fate of Atlantis (in many ways my training for the big Freelance Police article), Maniac Mansion and the Orphaned Tone (mostly for the header I convinced Remi to do) and Disinterring “Fiction by Louie” (because it felt like we genuinely got to unveil the most obscure thing of all time) as some of my favorites that I got to do. Articles that I felt were unjustly snubbed: The “watchalong” of Jake and Marius’s The Secret of Monkey Island stream during COVID; elTee’s failed attempt to get more than curt corporate platitudes out of Mary Bihr in what I call the reality check for the halfhearted “comeback” everyone wanted to pretend LucasArts was having in 2009; a Hulabee-era interview with Ron where he essentially proves he invented Telltale before even the cancellation of Sam & Max 2 and refers to a deleted moment in LeChuck’s Revenge where Wally gets eaten by a shark that he directly denied to us twenty years later; Lemonhead’s one-star fuck-you to Maniac Mansion; Bill Eaken’s exceptionally tea-spilling interview that is admittedly fused (as are a lot of fine interviews) to a Secret History feature instead of catalogued under Interviews.

Indiana Jones and the Why Wouldn't They Just Have Made Fate Of Atlantis When They Had A Chance 😭

I joined last week. Hi everyone 👋

This brought back a ton of memories. I've been hanging out in various bit of this community since... oh probably 1998. The community has gone through many ups and downs, but I am always thankful that this place still exists, to me it's a cornerstone of the internet, and a real testament to the dedication of everyone involved. Thanks Mojo!

I remain excited, maybe delusionally.

Now onto Lechuck, as seen in Lechuck's Revenge. This what I used as reference: And here is the LEGO model: And the 3D revolving GIF:
