    I would love to hear Dom narrating the hint books. They are written first person, right?

    You just saying that gave me this fun image: Us being stuck on a puzzle is basically Bench-Guybrush having a hard time remembering.

     

    “And then I put the spicy fish in the bucket!“

    “But how did you survive eating spicy fish yourself?“

    “I didn‘t.“

    “So what then?“

    “Well, er, then I was going from island to island, looking for a glass of milk. So, uh… I looked everywhere… hmm… Then I went back to Brrr Muda, to see if I can do something with the fish bucket. Nothing… So…“

     

    And looking in the hint book is basically Bench-Guybrush‘s brain remembering again. :)

    Hardest Puzzle

    Oh man, this is not a hard puzzle, but it frustrated me:

    The fish eating contest. I knew that the spicy fish will be the solution, so I put spicy fish in the bucket. But how do I get an “un-spicy” one? I was looking for like a glass of milk everywhere. How do I solve this??



     

    It never occurred to me that, during the contest, I can pick a fish from my inventory instead of the bucket on the table. That is wild to me, because usually, the judge is so strict. Why would he allow that in the contest? I guess he didn’t see it?

    That’s the only puzzle that kinda annoyed me instead of going “aha!”.

     

    But: the cutscene where both the Queen and Guybrush almost die of that spice is so funny to watch. I never got tired of that.

    So far, my absolute favorite part of Return has been when LeChuck landed on Monkey Island and used the Mop Map (which Guybrush had used on Mêlée Island to find its historic mop tree), and he was somehow able to follow that map's directions to accidentally find a different mop tree on Monkey Island.

     

    Wally is that good at making maps.

    Favorite music by location

    At the moment Scurvy Island is the most important music to me.

    I didn’t collect all my thoughts on the whole game yet, but Guybrush is so lost that it depresses me. Scurvy Island gives me a break from that. It screams “Everything is going to be ok.”. I visit the place regularly through playthroughs.

    Man, what a missed opportunity! It would have been so satisfying to finally fix that clock after all this time, especially after Guybrush makes that comment about it being broken. Maybe those dark runes graffiti could have also come into play since it's in the same area.

    I love the museum guys explanation that they could fix the clock, but at this point it would confuse the citizens. 😄

    Dang, the more I think about it, the more I can pick apart holes. 

    I love these “holes”, to me they make the world feel bigger, and reinforces Guybrushs “tunnel vision”. There are even more of them. There seems to be a whole story about Lockes mom that we only scratch the surface of. Widey is always living close to Locke? What is that all about? My gut feeling also thinks that Lockes mother created the safe, not Stan. I have zero proof. Just a feeling.

    And I am satisfied by not knowing the answer, but just know that are more actors and stories out there that we dont fully hear until Guybrush wants to actually listen to them instead of just focus on keys and The Secret.

    I love it!
