OzzieMonkey Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I was more of a lurker back then, but I do recall being immensely disappointed that we weren't going to find out how LeChuck's ego was repaired after being blasted by the Ultimate Insult in Escape. Younger me cared way more about these kinda things than I do now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The Telltale Forums are still up! I think most of the old forums are archived, but you can still go read all the old Monkey Island content if you want. 6 minutes ago, OzzieMonkey said: I was more of a lurker back then, but I do recall being immensely disappointed that we weren't going to find out how LeChuck's ego was repaired after being blasted by the Ultimate Insult in Escape.

When you played Escape did it bug you that we never learned how he escaped the ice in the roller coaster?* *did it actually explain this and I forgot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler It kinda did. At some point they tell you that Ozzie Mandrill helped him get out of there. And that was the beginning of a long and deep friendship.

Garystu Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I have nothing to apologise for, Jake. I was a lurker. . The Telltale forums are still around and active. There's a huge thread of five people asking for Minecraft Story Mode 3 and I am fascinated by the people so in love with Minecraft Story Mode. I'm too old to relate I guess. The Telltale TOMI forum isn't even closed, people just aren't using it. They have their own RTMI thread, even! It has eight posts and hasn't seen a new one since May. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally B. Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Meanwhile, while you were all jumping in the hype train in the Telltale forums, I was still a kid, learning to speak english thanks to Tales of Monkey Island, because it was the first game that didn't have an italian dub, and no subtitles, but I still needed to play. I always wondered how come it didn't even have italian for the subtitles, was it a decision in Telltale? I remember that Sam and Max season 1 had different languages for subtitles (even though there were some errors with the italian translation), but I think that for season 2 onwards was only english(?) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telltale was cheap 🤷♂️ They must have decided that since Italian was the smallest playerbase out of the standard EFIGS translation list (English French Italian German Spanish) they could save some money by not paying for it. Of course, that cheap out means fewer Italians will buy it so it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I don’t really understand it, but it’s how a lot of decisions were made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unfortunate, there's actually a big fan community for point and click games. There were people trying (and failing hard at it) to make some kind of Monkey Island 5 before Tales was announced. I remembered I felt very disappointed at the time, when Sam and Max wasn't dubbed I thought "well, it's not that famous, I guess it makes sense..." but I was expecting an italian dub for Tales. It surprised me even more that the Back to The Future and Jurassic Park games weren't dubbed, and that's a big gigantic franchise. It kind of still burns that Return is not dubbed in other languages other than english. I mean, Disney does have the money to do so... Broken Sword 5 was dubbed, and that was way smaller budget, I think... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Yeah it is a shame. Past a certain point telltale wouldn’t do a dub unless a regional publisher would pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowLevel Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I've always wondered how much you can mix the name "Monkey Island" and pirates before Disney lawyers start pouring gasoline on you while lighting their cigars with $100 bills. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staple Remover Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 One final Monkey Island Monday!! I’m predicting we’ll see the Scrapbook retelling of the previous games. …or since I’ll only have one last time to place a foolish guess, they’ll release the game a week early 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'll see Guybrush get it from the Voodoo Lady. Feel free to laugh at me from the future when I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KestrelPi Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Monkey Island Monday bullet point thoughts * I imagine it occured to many of us that Guybrush was never able to finish his trials, as in the last Monkey Island Monday. I suppose it adds to that theme of unfinished business they've been going on about. * It's a pretty good gag for him to mistake them for the Men of Low Moral Fiber, which makes me wonder if they're showing up at all. Also, how does he know their names? * Come to think of it where did the Pirate Leaders GO after the trials. They were in the bar because they were hiding out from LeChuck and I always assumed they scattered because LeChuck attacked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
