Trapezoid Posted January 1, 2002 Posted January 1, 2002 Also, in MI1 and MI2 if you press Alt-W you automatically win. I'm pretty sure that doesn't work in real life.
Schmatz Posted January 1, 2002 Posted January 1, 2002 I don't think you can hold your breathe for ten minutes in real life either...

Schmatz Posted January 1, 2002 Posted January 1, 2002 Okay, you can't get shot out of a cannon and into a pole that isn't very far from you without extreme pain and head injuries.
Meksilon Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 Originally posted by Trapezoid Well, if you die before you can breath out... It's impossible to hold your breath until you die; unless of course you were say underwater in which case when you pass-out you'll drown. =mek=
Darnn Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 Read Martin Eden (by Jack London). It has a lovely description of how to drown yourself (it involves breathing out, however).
Haggis Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 Have you ever tried it? Then how do you know if it works?
Trapezoid Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 Actually, you can hold your breath for as long as you like-- no water needed. Just tape your mouth and nostrils shut. Eventually you'll die of suffocation, but no breath will get out.

It's not air-tight... simple hannings that occur in gaols are usually with say a pillow case tied to something behind you (like your bed poll), and you lean foward. You'll eventually faint when you've held your breath long enough and then die due to lack of Oxygen since you can't breathe in. But hyperthetically speaking, if in an ordinary circumstance you held your breath until you passed out you'd only faint and then since you are no longer concious have no way of preventing your body from breathing again. =mek=

Schmatz Posted January 4, 2002 Posted January 4, 2002 Yeah once you pass out, you're body will make you look like this ------> Then, you will wake up and make a face like this ---> Thank you for your time
elTee Posted January 4, 2002 Posted January 4, 2002 EMI is a contradiction in itself. Everything about it is wrong. I don't mean as a game, cos I loved it, but as an addition to the Monkey Island series? Please. And about the accents: everyone knows that the best pirates were English or Spanish. Back then Americans were English, if you follow.

Trapezoid Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 I think EMI's voice acting was a lot better than CMI's actually. Elaine was un-Britishized, but Stan's voice got a lot cooler and quite a few characters did not have American accents... Ignatious Cheese, Pegnose Pete, Marco de Pollo, and Otis... Otis's accent was the best thing in the game! Yeah, the plot was a big... messy thing, but the whole game in general is worthy of the MI title. Why do all the games have to be perfectly consistent with each other? The next game should be an abstract dadaist political thriller musical.
Flirbnic Posted January 5, 2002 Posted January 5, 2002 I kind of prefer no voices. It's like a silent film. It draws more attention to the music, which is more important.
