    Still a lot of negativity around on Facebook, etc. Yet when you run a poll you see it's a tiny vocal minority...

    The numbers are about the same as the ones we got on Twitter. Take into account that some of the negative votes come from randos showing us snowflakes what's what, and I'd say the vast majority is a-OK with what we've seen so far.

    The latest Mojo article states that the trailer mentions (twice) that The Secret will be revealed in this game. But actually, it doesn't. The narration said that Guybrush "finds" the Secret, the on-screen text says that it's "waiting to be discovered". Maybe this is nitpicking, but there might be ways for Guybrush to find the Secret, without revealing what it really is...

     

    That is beyond nitpicking.

    Two things that may or may not have already been said, as I've lost track of this thread.

     

    1) One scene is near identical to a piece of concept art (that I can't find right now) from the cancelled movie.

    2) The "Marley Foundation" -- whatever it is, it gives me strong MI1 vibes.

    When are Cheetos mentioned in to MI2? Is there some piece of dialogue I've never seen?!? (Or, more likely, forgotten.)

     

    They're referenced as Cheese Squigglies -- the non-copyrighted cheese treat also seen in Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo. (I was researching if it was an actual brand, but it doesn't look like it.) Related, the crackers found around Dinky are, going by the inventory, likely modeled after Saltines.

    The Foods of Monkey Island 1 & 2

    This is research for a future Mojo feature, and thus of the utmost importance:

     

    I'm trying to compile a list of real-world food items referenced in the first two Monkey Island games. Specifically brands -- Cap'n Crunch, Cheetos, etc. -- and actual dishes, like vichyssoise. I'm not doing anything with beverages (Shirley Temple is out) but something like root beer float (referenced by the cannibals) is fair game.

     

    Also, I'm limiting this to MI1 and MI2 for reasons that are completely unrelated to laziness.

     

    My short list so far:

     

    MI1

    • Cap'n Crunch
    • Root beer float
    • Carrot cake
    • Rump roast
    • Red herring
    • Breath mints

    MI2

    • Cheetos
    • Vichyssoise
    • Toasted marshmallows/cotton
    • Weenies
    • Fruit cocktail
    • Saltines

     

    Contribute, and you will be rewarded with... well, you just have to wait and see.

    It’s not for nothing you posted this under unpopular opinions, of course.

    Funny how these things go. Remi had a similar response, but it jumps out at me like crazy.

     

    The first section where the guy sings in the folk song is totally the same melody to my ears. 😆 Especially if you adjust the speeds on YouTube as the folk song is much faster.

     

     

    Two against one, you lose. ;

    Ok, prediction time. What page of this forum will we be on by the time we get another trailer?

     

    Maybe this is a little too optimistic but I'm gonna guess 76.

     

    That was literally the number I had in mind. Of course, with my track record there will be no trailer and the game will be cancelled released right around page 157, mind you.

    I added it both to the "wish" and "expect" poll. But unfortunately it's not possible to edit the own answers afterwards, is it?

     

    I hope they announce the platforms – and I HOPE it's not only Windows... At the moment on the Devolver website it only says Windows. Would be a bummer (but I don't think so). 

     

    Ronzo is a big Switch fan, so I would assume it would at least eventually make its way there. And if the Delores demo is anything to go by -- and who knows if it is or not -- Mac and Linux seem plausible.

     

    Or I could be as wrong as I was about the trailer and it'll be a Windows exclusive. 🤷‍♂️
