    Now to be a pessimist but it also can be read as “Disney and Lucasfilm own the IP, and they likely want to keep deriving value from it.”

    Yeah I can’t help but imagine that it was Disney/Lucasfilm that requested all the “conclusion” verbiage be scrapped from the game’s marketing. Not necessarily to make games with it, but to always have the option to make a future game and/or retain the IP for royalties.

    Don't want to overanalyze it (too late), but I would note that mixing a little bit of contemporary pop culture (Star Wars) into their pirate story is totally a thing a couple of kids playing pretend would do. Probably just an opportunity to pay tribute to the mothership. But it happens to work well on that level 🙂

     

    That also makes a lot more sense about the reference to the Nintendo™ game (retrofitted to Lucasarts game in the special edition) and the Junior Ultra Soldier Commando Assault Vehicle™.

    I was considering something similar, but instead having a different drink as I play through each game. Here's what I'm thinking:

     

    MI1: Root Beer cause we kill LeChuck with it

    Mi2: Either a green alcoholic drink or Mountain Dew to represent the spit and the mixed drinks

    MI3: Lemonade like Kenny's (but without the bottomless mug)

    MI4: Coffee cause of Starbucaneers

    MI5: Orange juice to represent the acidic Ichor that Moose drinks

    This is a perfect list!

  5. To celebrate the launch, I’m thinking of putting together a celebratory meal featuring the food from the games. I’ve listed what I’m putting together so far below:
     

    MI1: Grog (the real world recipe not the game, I'm fine consuming battery acid and SCUMM, but pepperoni in my drink is where I draw the line)

     

    MI4: “Kudu” Jerky Pretzel


    MI2: Saltines (yeah I know… but there’s like three food items in the game and I’m not putting a rat in a vichyssoise)

     

    MI3: Blondbeard’s chicken and biscuit (I’m working on something to make that “special flavor”) ”AND MORE SLAW!”

     

    MI5: Hardtack’s Potatoes


    I’ll try to post pictures once I make it later this week.

    Just watched the IGN scrapbook video. Dom does such a great job here of inserting genuine emotion into Guybrush's character, specifically when talking about Elaine. 

    Absolute gem of a video. I love seeing the pictures of the previous games done in this new artwork style. 
     

    I really hope there are the written memoirs that were found on the boxes included in the scrapbook.

    I'm not going to bring it up any more. But I'm holding out hope for a surprise reveal of his poster closer to release.

    I feel like there’s got to be something in the works, Struzan is to film posters and artwork as John Williams is to film scores. Even James Mangold tweeted about how nice it would be to work alongside him for this project.

    On that front, I wonder if there will be Steam achievements, like for showing the horse armour to every character or finishing the game without the hintbook. 

    I want an achievement for holding your breath for exactly 9:59 minutes.
