I want to read a last-minute interview WITH @Remi. Remi, how are you? What are your thoughts a day before this game releases? How did you know to reserve the name decades ago? How do you feel about your future fight of Search Engine Optimization to filter specifically to you? Would you change your name of it was Michael Bolton?

9am "Pacific"?! I thought this was "Deep in the Caribbean"??? 🙊

ScummVM option/fix to backfill this fix to all versions??

Why do you all keep bringing up the rope bridge?!? I have to go to sleep soon! 😬 \\________ 🤠____ ____// 🐊 🐊 🐊

I thought the fifth might be wherever Big Whoop Amusement Park is, but we're about to find out that was all a dream and Guybrush never left beneath Dinky Island.

Which Monkey Island has the smallest number of islands?

Do we count El Pollo Diablo (the painting) or the Guybrush incarnation? Again, that plot point was left unsettled. Perhaps he still haunts Puerto Pollo, freeing the chickens from Blondebeards grasp.

That would be https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cmdrfalcon/sierra-collectors-quest and it's shipping soon. Plus there were "feelies" made for putting with your game collections.

I will always have the nightmares of the bridge scene and crocodiles. Thanks Indiana

There are the official Memoirs/walkthroughs of Guybrush Threepwood for the first four games, I believe all written by the same employee at LucasFilm/Arts, Jo 'Captain Tripps' Ashburn. I had tried to reach out to him at one time to see if, as a fan, he would be interested in continuing the work for Tales but he didn't seem to notice my request. From the hint guides, (Can't find yet; need to get to sleep) Start on page 52 on: https://archive.org/details/Monkey_Island2_HintBook/page/n57/mode/2up Page 126 on: https://archive.org/details/Curse_of_Monkey_Island_The_Prima/page/n125/mode/2up (Can't find yet; need to get to sleep) Seems someone has made audiobooks of (some of?) these as well, but I haven't listened to them yet. https://archive.org/details/memoirs1 https://archive.org/details/memoirs2

Apparently "Murray" is his(?) last name.

There's a Monkey Island 8?! I'm so behind

How will I play ReMI? Now that I'm a dad, I don't have time to game. I'll still buy it but I will immediately try the Crtl+W function.

More sweet merch available at Fangamer. Merit badges in pin form (for some reason not as patches), a zip up hoodie, new shirt, and a sweet "figment" hot/cold mug. https://www.fangamer.com/collections/psychonauts

Weather forecast for September 19th: Hotter than a Monkey Hellmouth already on a warm, tropical island. So... wear shorts.

He couldn't exactly take 4 months off from work running a whole company. He owes it to his employees to keep steering that ship and not go run off and be a pirate on the Mad Monkey. Although it would be fun to have seen this as a Double Fine production so we could see a two-headed baby as a ship figurehead in an opening graphic.

Here's your Monkey Island nod: https://twitter.com/ackley_jonathan/status/1561052724346515457?t=_BWMtSC3l5S4F49fsKyBMg&s=19

Who would win? Giant Monkey Kombat Robot or tiny, hat-wearing monkey piloting Smirks' "The Machine"? Different fighting styles for sure.

Big fan of Monkey Kombat.

I remember when Jurassic Park 3 (Allen!) came out and had Dr Statler and Dr Grant separated and semi estranged through an off screen story, and that was jarring to audiences and falling away from expected movie tropes of couples staying together unless we witnessed the breakdown. More like "hey this would fit the story if they were apart for then to have Grant call her at the last second from a dino-poop-satellite-phone". I guess what I'm saying is, stay together unless the separation is an earned story point?? I think that's what I'm saying. Jurassic Park 3 was fairly awful. That was my point.

Sam and Max: Hit The Road had the most Bigfoots... Bigfeets?? It's probably "Bigfeets".

Wow, you have already done some impressive work and research. I could see you getting a small number of people interested in some of the items by themselves but I cannot expect the demand to be too high here for the whole package/box and contents. There are boxes for Monkey Island 1 and 2 rather readily available on marketplaces like eBay at decent prices the last time I looked so I cannot think the cost for your hard work may make sense for you, besides your desire to recreate something beautiful, and just that good feeling finishing this recreation. A recreated box for Zak may get some extra attention here, as that is something selling for over $300 at times, which is ridiculous. I have also wanted to make a few custom boxes for LucasArts titles, like a slipcase to go overtop the Collectors edition of Tales of MI (like old Sierra titles) and a separate box for just the Monkey Island Madness CD collection, but I haven't made the time to work on those much. The work you have already done is very impressive and I can see the hard work that has been done.

I hope the Horse Armor makes you instantly over-encumbered and you cannot move or pick up any other inventory items, thus you must leave it on the ground of the first game screen. 😛

But I'm afraid if it was more of a Myst situation. Sold really well, not enjoyed or completed by those masses, maybe left a poor taste for adventure games for many? Just a thought
