Jake Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 I also remember him posting more at least about Tales episode 5, but it looks like it was only these two: Tim of Legend confirmed actual legend with this Monkey 2 take, though 1
Udvarnoky Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Maybe I just remember it as being a lot. To save face I'm going to do the natural thing and advance a conspiracy theory that he deleted the majority of his tweets because the takes were just too hot.
Jake Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 I also specifically remembered him live-posting about finding the moment when the voodoo lady talked through a pile of dead crabs, but can’t find a tweet like that, only the post-game summary. So who knows.

I think they said in the commentary that she's basically more of a "double agent," more interested in her own agenda. Something like that. 2

I’ve just long liked the observation that the voodoo lady is a third party and not just “someone who helps guybrush on his quest.” I think many players see her that way, but she’s very enigmatic especially in 1 and 2, and goes as far as doing business with “both sides” of the Guybrush/LeChuck conflict in 2 (and the love bomb for Wally as you said. Related: should Wally be canceled for ordering a love bomb?) 1
Niemandswasser Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Maybe the love bomb was for himself? He certainly seemed to have self-image issues 1
tmetic Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Brits take note: KentNews is reporting that the Queen's funeral, which will be declared a Bank Holiday, is likely to take place on Monday 19th September. 2 3 1

Guybrush: "Sorry I never got that Love Bomb to you." Wally: "Love Bomb?" Guybrush: "Yeah, the one you ordered from the Voodoo Lady." Wally: "I never ordered a love bomb! I ordered a PLUMB BOB!" Guybrush: "Oh. You should probably cancel that." Wally: "No kidding! I never consented to this." Edited September 8, 2022 by BaronGrackle 1 1
Toymafia88 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Is there a rough idea of when on the 19th September the game will go live? I'm getting it on the switch so not sure when in the day i can play it.
demone Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Having some scattered thoughts. With what is being teased as being finally going to be revealed in this game, there are are only a few others things that I think would be the icing on the cake. Largo; he doesn't necessarily need to be in it that much or even at all, but I would love some closure with his character's fate. The Voodoo Priest: based off the developer commentary for MI2SE, it doesn't seem like he was meant to be a character of any particular importance, but it would be cool if they found a way to reintegrate him, especially with Ron replaying that game before really working on Return. Tim was inquisitive about the character in the commentary, so perhaps the character is something that drew Ron's eyes as well upon a fresh replay. From Tales' story arc: the voodoo's lady's agenda and perhaps some inclusion of Morgan. I'm really holding my breath on that last one, but you never know. 49 minutes ago, Toymafia88 said: Is there a rough idea of when on the 19th September the game will go live? I'm getting it on the switch so not sure when in the day i can play it. I'm assuming/hoping midnight EST on the 19th. That's typically when Switch games get released in my experience, but this could be a unique circumstance. I think we'll have a better idea when/if the game is available for pre-download. Once it's pre-downloaded, than it's literally just a countdown. For what it's worth, I preordered on Switch and Steam and got an email earlier this week, informing me that my payment for the Switch version is expected to be posted to my account around September 12th, so perhaps pre-download will be available then.

I have a feeling that the Steam version will go live the same time Monkey Island Mondays happen, because Ron has been describing the game's launch as "the ultimate Monkey Island Monday" so around 8am PST. 2
Toymafia88 Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) This might sound like a stupid question but is there a risk of the game being delayed due to the Queen's death and mourning period? I heard rumours of the new Nintendo Direct being delayed because of the Queen's death. I imagine things are locked in and too late to change. Edited September 9, 2022 by Toymafia88

I think that it's a good question, actually. I'm not sure how much the event would distract people from buying and playing the game, but my hunch is that it shouldn't impact the release very much. 1

Remi Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 While the queen's death does dominate the news worldwide, I doubt it has enough of an impact outside of the UK to delay anything. At this point, international concern seems mainly to be about her corgis.
Garystu Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I think they should release Monkey Island 8 days early, out of respect for the Queen. Edited September 9, 2022 by Guybrush Transmasc 3 1

If it’s midnight EST and you live on the West Coast, like me, you’ll be able to play it at 9pm on the 18th. I was able to do that with other games I preordered in the past. 1

I'm gambling on the 9 pm time slot, too, though 9 am seems more plausible if they want to keep the #MonkeyIslandMonday thing going.

Remi Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 I mentioned it on Twitter -- the big reveal is that "Guybrush" is an imposter as proven by him trying to perfect his signature. (Also love that short little repetition sting at the end of the theme.) 1
BaronGrackle Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 The signature with the little heart (top right) is adjacent to two incarnations of the word "mighty".

The game's ending will be the real Guybrush meeting the non-Ron Gilbert Guybrush. Edited September 9, 2022 by Toymafia88 3
