Jeff Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Can't wait to hear what you guys think of the new Indy game and the new Monkey Island games but I got a funny feeling that you aren't all big on the point n' click side of LucasArts which is a shame cause that was the golden era of the company.I think we did talk about Indy in episode 7, but you can definitely expect to hear about Monkey Island in a future episode now that it's back. I know not everyone on the cast is not big into LucasArts' adventure games but I'm a big adventure game fan and am super hyped about the new MI series.
Darth Groovy Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 The wait is over! Although it's been a wait, LucasCast HAS been putting in overtime to make up for it! This week Rogue Nine has put the finishing touches on Episode 7, and it's awesome so it will be up sometime today. Episode 8 was recorded impromptu to document Jeff's E-3 experience, and we plan to have that up midweek. Then as an added surprise we will have a nice lengthy special "BlooperCast" up by the end of the week. Thanks for your patience gang, and I hope you enjoy the fruits of our effort!

Taak Farst Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 meh..I don't know much about monkey island - but it seems a bit childish to me
Jae Onasi Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 meh..I don't know much about monkey island - but it seems a bit childish to me It looks like a whole lot of fun, especially if I can play with my kids.
Threepwood4life Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 meh..I don't know much about monkey island - but it seems a bit childish to me You'll enjoy them, trust me. The sequels are great too and are a lot of fun and challenging. I can understand why you may say this as some of the younger generation today didn't grow up with Monkey Island and the other adventure games like a lot of us on here did but I'm glad its coming back cause it allows those who didn't play first time see it in a different light to what we did when first played them way back in the late 80's/ early 90's.
urluckyday Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Also gang, sorry about the delay between episodes. Right now I am trying to recruit some stand bye podcast members, and extra sound editors so we don't have to keep rescheduling due to lack of participation. Summer is a funny month where you have multiple holidays, graduations, conferences, weddings, birthdays...etc. Our staff is pretty dedicated, but we still do this on a voluntary basis for fun, and sometimes often life gets in the way, and it becomes hard to get everyone together. We would have a pretty boring podcast if we just ran with two or three members. I understand...but what would Jesus do?
urluckyday Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 meh..I don't know much about monkey island - but it seems a bit childish to me *gasp* MI...like all of the LA original adventures has its fair share of childish humor...but for the most part...it is humor that just about everyone can appreciate (along with some adult humor thrown in)...
Mandalore The Shadow Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 How about you guys talk about the new halo games like ODST and Reach and and Halo Wars and the "infinate hold" on Halo: Chronicals(that means it was cancaled) and how they are going to kill the series P.S. I am a Halo Fan
edlib Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Well... obviously the topic if the recent celebrity deaths is bound to come up... but a little time recognizing the current news in that regard wouldn't be a bad thing.
Jae Onasi Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I agree with you on that. It's hard not to talk about people who had such influence on the entertainment industry.
urluckyday Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I think you guys should talk about the upcoming OS Windows 7! yay!
Jae Onasi Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 We'll have to take a look at it and see how it'll improve gaming.
Mandalore The Shadow Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 that sounds like it would make a good topic when is the next one coming out anyway?
GonkH8er Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 In a month or 2. I've been using the Windows 7 beta for a few months now and it's fantastic! even for gaming.
Taak Farst Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 The only game-improving thing I have heard of is Direct X 10. sooo unless i hear more about it, i dont care to buy it..
Mandalore The Shadow Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 we are using vista and it works fine so i think we are gonna stick with it
Taak Farst Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 we are using vista and it works fine so i think we are gonna stick with it agreed - 7 doesnt even seem much different anyway @the about 4 posts replying to my statement about MI OMG IM SO ASHAMED I WROTE THAT POST I tried the MI games out and even for the new generation of kids, i think its awesome. gr8 humour, gr8 fun and a gr8 challenge. MI is awesome and now I think im straying from RPG and im following Jeff down the path of adventure gaming - i loved it - som1 recommend me a similar sort of thing!! please!! i finished the MI series already. I <3 Monkey Island - and all the cannibals too.
edlib Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 If you liked Monkey Island, you'll probably also like Grim Fandango. Good luck landing a copy these days though...
Mandalore The Shadow Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 i havent played ether of them am i missing out?
edlib Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Grim Fandango is one of my top 3 games of all time... so I like it. I haven't played a MI title in years... but I'm really looking forward to the new ones. They are adventure games... so a lot of puzzle solving and character interaction. Not everybody's cup-of-tea... but the humor and writing in the LA adventure games was always more than worth the price of admission.
Mandalore The Shadow Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 i assume that means you are 3rd person? and what kind of character do you play as? a human?
jrrtoken Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 i assume that means you are 3rd person? and what kind of character do you play as? a human?If you call animated calacas human, then yes, you are human.
Jeff Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 MI is awesome and now I think im straying from RPG and im following Jeff down the path of adventure gaming - i loved it - som1 recommend me a similar sort of thing!! please!! i finished the MI series already. I <3 Monkey Island - and all the cannibals too. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a huge RPG guy too. But I grew up with adventure games so I will always be a fan. Strangely enough, when the LucasArts adventures were new, I didn't even know about them. I played all the other popular adventure games like Myst, Zork, King's Quest, etc, as well as all the Star Wars games of the 90s, so it's weird that I never got word of LucasArts adventure games until I joined these forums.
