The more I sit and think on Return to MI, the more appreciation I have for Tales of Monkey Island (which I already really like). The Crossroads (with the automated boat ride, vignette scenes, the MI2 tunnel music) fits perfectly in with the now revealed secret.

I just want to buy my Secret T-Shirt, and maybe some other merchandise too.

It’s not much and I shared this previously, but I built a Monkey Island boat ride on Planet Coaster.

It’s a stretch but I’d love for them to do a Remaster with new solutions and puzzles and a soundtrack (Neil Cicierega would be a great choice as he helped with the Deluxe version)

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™.

What happened to the violin girl from the trailer? did she make it in?
They had to cut her to avoid the game getting an “M for Mature” rating.
They said her character brought in too much violin-ce.

I played it on the switch and I too need to give smooches for the chef. Probably one of the best ports I’ve played.

I haven’t tried it yet and/or not sure if it’s been posted elsewhere but you can free (Spoiler) at the end of the game. You need the serial number from the shackles that are on Le Ship.

I adored the ending so much. It hit home for me personally, as I was once able to walk around the sets of a large pirate-themed attraction and It felt just like that moment, where I was transported back onto Melee and the world around me came to life.

Has it been confirmed about the multiple endings? I know Ron mentioned it in an interview previously.

The game gets a 0/10 for me for not being able to pick up the staple remover.
…but besides that, this may be the best or 2nd best game. I’m doing a replay on casual mode to see if there’s anything I missed.

So long and thanks for all the fish! I can’t wait to come back after finishing the game.

Where's the rump roast in MI1? Is that what's in the Melee Island chef's pot?
And @Staple Remover I always wanted to eat at Blondebeard's, maggots be damned.I thought about doing the rump roast but I don’t know if it’s legal for me to add the “condiment” for the recipe.

What a great interview! It was also neat hearing a brief history on the Mojo site too.

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!

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.- 1

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.

Look… I’m not saying that I was dumb enough to try and change my Switch internal clock to September 19th to play the game… but according to my sources it does not work.

So are there more windows or doors in the Monkey Island games?

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.

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.
