Does this have anything to do with that theory about Guybrush and Chuckie going home from the carnival to read a pirate book and arguing about how the story goes?

I love the glow peeking out. Seriously, this game's use of lighting in general has just blown me away so far. I've tweeted about this briefly, but I imagine that the game will freely ignore the giant robot blowing it up in Escape. I will be very surprised if they try to explain it. Just one of those "canon can get in the way of a good story" moments that Dave Grossman alluded to, I think.

They absolutely nailed it. Everything about this scene just feels perfect, it illicits just the right mood and I already can't wait to explore Melee Island again. What a tease though! Such a short clip and already I'm dying for next week to get the next little tidbit. There is something playing on my mind though and I wonder if anyone else is feeling this at all. I'm a little concerned that too much of the game will take place in locations we've seen before. Hopefully Melee is just a small portion of the game (mainly Part 1) and there's more to Brr Muda and Terror Island than we've gotten a glimpse of, maybe even another island aswell? It's also a little worrying that we've seen so many returning characters. Maybe this is all just by design for marketing purposes to really focus on pulling our nostalgic heartstrings to not spoil the new stuff, I hope that's the case. I'll admit I was a little disappointed to see that both the Voodoo Lady and Otis are in the exact same location we first met them in the original game. I just hope this isn't The Force Awakens of Monkey Island and really is its own unique story that adds to the world.

AGAIN?! Seriously, you deserve to have credit on all this stuff. Assholes indeed. People really need to do more thorough research before just slapping things on their stuff.

Does that count? 👕 I beat #Mojole #118 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 3/6 💛🖤💛🖤🖤 💛💚🖤💚💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

The curse of living in Australia means that for me it's Monkey Island Tuesdays...doesn't exactly roll off the tongue in the same way 😜

Again...continuity 👕 I beat #Mojole #116 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 5/6 🖤🖤💚🖤🖤 🖤🖤💚💛🖤 🖤💛💚🖤🖤 💚💚💚💚🖤 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Damn, you stole my joke!

I wonder if one of the things we see in future Monday tweets is that series recap that Dave Grossman mentioned in that German translated interview. Would be cool to see how they're gonna get new players up to speed on the story, considering most people would expect a pirate story instead of being thrown into a carnival playing a kid with his parents and older brother.

I did not expect continuity between answers. 👕 I beat #Mojole #115 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 4/6 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 💛🖤🖤🖤🖤 💚🖤💛💛🖤 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

If this game's marketing has taught me anything, it's that my guesses are VERY wrong. I was on the "it's an April Fools joke" side of the fence when Ron announced it on his blog. Anything can happen.

I like the way you think YES PLEASE.

I think we can be fairly certain that one of 2 things will happen at the end of all the Monkey Island Mondays: 1) We'll get a release date 2) The game will be out Of course, part of me is hoping they do, like, 5 MI Mondays instead of 10. I'm just dying to get into this thing!

I think maps are a given at some point. A release date is definitely imminent. BIG yes to finding out who's voicing LeChuck (I read an article where the journalist just assumed that when Ron said they were recasting that Adam Harrington was back, but...please no. All due respect to the actor, he was fine, but you need someone more...Boen-y.) I might be a bit dense here, but what is FIGS? UI is also probable. We also don't know how many of these there'll be, will it be the predicted 10 that lead up to Talk Like a Pirate Day for release, or will it only be a few, like 4 for the month?

I could've sworn the # didn't register as a correct letter if you got the wrong word on previous days... 👕 I beat #Mojole #113 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 4/6 🖤🖤🖤💛🖤 💚🖤🖤💛🖤 💚💛🖤💛💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Man...I wish. I can't afford an overseas trip atm and it falls right on my final assessment period for uni. I'm still bummed I didn't go to Pax Australia the one year Ron was there to give his speech.

I'm so glad Ron's still talking about the game on Twitter. Still probably a good idea to avoid posting on his blog about it, but it's nice to see that he's not completely discouraged from sharing in general.

I'm fine with carrots, it's the mayonnaise for me, too sweet. Though strangely, I'm fine with it in burgers. My tastebuds are whack.

Yeah, I think the idea of #MonkeyIslandMonday is to share little teases of the game in varied forms, not just to show the chapter screens. In fact, I hope they don't reveal the others, because I like the surprise of discovering what they are while I'm playing. As cool as it was to speculate on what they meant with Tales, I think this time I'd like a little bit more mystery.

Remi...you've broken me. I can't finish my guesses. THERE'S NO VOWELS!

Oh yeah...we're close. I can feel it. Monkey Island Monday, woo! Great chapter screen, so glad they're keeping up the tradition. Interesting that the tune is different, not sure how I feel about that, it'll take some getting used to, but it's certainly not a dealbreaker by any means. I really like that dramatic zoom out at the beginning, really adds to it, I think.

Another interesting detail I noticed today was that the table where the new pirate leaders are sat has another one of those voodoo symbols around it. Perhaps a protective enchantment? For what, that is the question. It seems that at least Guybrush can cross it, though maybe there's an early puzzle that involves making him invincible to its effects...unless of course it's only to ward off LeChuck or ghost pirates.

It's so good! Once again, Dom continues to be a gem of a human being and yeah, it must be incredibly frustrating not to be able to share the juicy details, but I'm sure we'll all talk about it once it's out. I love the story about how Ron told him he was making a new one, I wouldn't have believed it either...I didn't on April 1st.
