Lagomorph01 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Dom, welcome to the discussion! I’m so glad you returned for Guybrush! You’re such a great constant force in these games! Also, please don’t spill any beans you’re not supposed to. We’ll just have to wait like good little boys and girls. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have asked last year, when there was no sign of ever being another MI game. 😉 Maybe we should ask every few months and as soon as Dom declines, we can be dead certain a new Monkey Island is secretly in the works. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure the intentional (but meant in good humor!) taunt on Twitter this week probably didn't help. But yeah, even if I weren't the type to play it straight by nature, a Disney NDA definitely has a way of, um... solidifying my commitment to secrecy 😄 Oh no listen, you're good. If it were anyone else I might think of this as a taunt but we've known you in the community for years. I was there when you popped up in #monkey-island and nobody believed you until you recorded a voice clip. I seem to remember you just went by Dom at first, until people started calling you Dmnkly because we're such nerds Listen, you're 'one of us', you just happen to be one of us who landed an absolute dream role 25 years ago and you've got as much right to be here and excited about the game as the rest of us. I'd never want to exclude you from these discussions just because there's a bit of me that wants to see inside your head and find out what you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurraySchull Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Dom! Welcome back! Can't wait to hear you as Guybrush again after all these years! ( Actually, while you're here, do you know who is voicing LeChuck in the game at this point? And have you heard their performance?... ) Next week is Summer Game Fest, so I feel it's pretty likely that we'll finally see some more ReMI content there. I'm gonna predict a new trailer and a release date. Feels like ages since the last official piece of news! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Dom has constant mice with snipers hooked up to their ears watching him every minute, so I doubt he'll spill the beans, but I would love to know who's playing LeChuck, but even if he can't tell us, it'd be interesting to hear if Dom's heard the new voice @Glokiddreally convinced me that Gary Chalk, who played Willie and Carney Joe in Thimbleweed Park would be a great choice for the role. He's similar in age to Boen and his past voicework sounds like he could do a good impression of him while adding his own flavor .

MurraySchull Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Yeah, I'd be happy with Chalk too. And having a past relationship with Ron makes it more likely, I think. I'm going to take and guess that we'll, at the very least, hear a preview of him if there's a new trailer for Summer Game Fest. Looks like Gavin Hammond is confirmed as Stan, then! Though it does make the continuity of the whole thing weird, we've been there and back with Elaine before, and Hammond was great in Tales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo picking Gavin Hammon for Stan feels like a deliberate choice to fit alongside Tales chronologically. Oh god...what if he actually took the "naked attorney at law" thing and ran with it?!

Oh god...what if he actually took the "naked attorney at law" thing and ran with it?! Avert your eyes, kids. Maybe if Stan's scenes take place after Tales, it might make more sense. Otherwise, I guess Stan just goes through voices depending on the business he's trying to push! (Think the cabinet of heads in Return To Oz but with voiceboxes...) "Naked attorney at law!" Hehe. Some 1970's sitcom style shot framing would probably be appropriate in that instance! Knowing Stan, though, I'd imagine he'd have a new career before settling on law! (Wonder what it'll be in this game, thinking about it... Don't think we've had a "Previously Owned" business since MI2.)

Well, he already settled on law in Tales, prosecuting Guybrush, but after nearly losing his jacket to the moths of the Flotsam Jungle he considered doing the job naked, "you've got nothing to hide...and neither does he". It'd be pretty funny to see a plaid bar over the "important bits" move with his walking animation instead of his jacket, though that might border on Larry humour. I agree though, the Previously Owned theme should return. Edited June 4, 2022 by OzzieMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrik Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It depends on if that eastern time is in daylight savings I guess. It’s hard enough as it is, never mind countries now starting to no longer follow daylight savings. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmnkly Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 If it's any consolation, I'd actually love to know as much about it as you do. I'm one of those people who plugs their ears and goes "LALALALALALALALALA" during trailers for movies I want to see. Seeing the development process is neat. But the downside is that I haven't been able to just experience a Monkey Island game as it's meant to be experienced since MI2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find you get self-analytical when you play the games and hear your voice work back? Or is it easy for you to compartmentalise that in your head and just hear the voice as guybrush?

Glokidd Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hi Dom! I get super wary over spoilers as well, especially given my mild social media addiction, it can be a minefield out there whenever something new drops. As much as I have always wanted to work on a Monkey Island myself in some capacity(I would take any oppertunity in a heartbeat), I know I would be trading off that feeling of experiencing the story for the first time as a fan. It would be a hard choice on something like this especially with Ron back. Thank you for making that hard choice and coming back as our definitive voice of Guybrush 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMonkey Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I've always been confused about one joke in Curse, amd I was wondering if you guys could clarify it for me. On Skull Island, you can say "that diamond belongs in a museum!" to which King Andre responds "so do post impressionist paintings". Guybrush is confused and King Andre assures him that "one day, you will understand". What's the joke here? In Last Crusade, the response to "it belongs in a museum" is "so do you" so my best guess is that he's calling Guybrush a post impressionist painting. Would you describe Curse's artstyle (of the characters at least, if not the backgrounds) as post-impressionist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Andre So do post-impressionist paintings, Mr Threepwood. So do post-impressionist paintings. Guybrush What the heck is that supposed to mean? King Andre Some day you will understand. I think the joke is nothing more King Andre thinking he's saying something smart and clever, but actually he's not. Kind of like a really terrible bond villain. That was always how I took it, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I would take that to mean that post impressionism paintings haven't yet been regarded well enough to be in museums, as most new art styles would be, "but someday" they would be understood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better question for Larry or Jonathan, who have been pretty active on Twitter lately. My best guess is just that post-impressionism didn't exist until the late 19th century, so he's talking about an art style that hasn't been invented yet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
