Scummbuddy Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Here is an excerpt from the interview conducted with Chris Purvis on the Scumm Bar website "Bill Tiller told us you were responsible for the whole "porcelain joke", a gag that has plagued the Monkey Island community since 1997 - can you tell us why Guybrush is afraid of porcelain? Really? I always thought it had something to do with the time in Monkey 1 where Fester Shinetop hit Guybrush on the head with a vase. from Chris Purvis" but doesn't he know that it is possible to not use the vase in the first game at all? If you pick it up before you go in to the room.
ptdc Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 I don't think that's a good enough excuse, but then I don't regard CMI and EMI as true MI games.
Remi Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 As I said in the Mojo comments post - you might want to search the page a bit better, and you might find some more info.
ptdc Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Oh. I. See... Well that was a little careless. Can't they tell how seriously we take such matters?
ptdc Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Well I think the HIGHLIGHT *nudge nudge* of the article was at the VERY END *wink wink*. Plus, holding hands? This is moving very quickly.
Scummbuddy Posted August 2, 2002 Author Posted August 2, 2002 thats funny. i already tried to highlight the article. i guess i stopped too soon. Well someone tell Bill Tiller that a throwaway gag stops at one. a running gag is one that keeps coming and yes it can cause speculation. Plus, anyway, didn't someone ask recently on these boards about the porcelain, maybe in the Who hates CMI post. Whatever.
scabb Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 Scummbuddy: It is just a joke. It means nothing. I find it strange that a throw away line like that gets so much attention. It is just a joke. Why would anyone be afraid of porcelain?
elTee Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 God, the most annoying one was the "thats the second biggest..." thing in EMI.

Remi Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 MI2 also. "That's the second biggest X I've ever seen."
elTee Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 Yeah, it was in those games. But it wasn't used to excess, I mean everything in EMI was the second biggest.
Remi Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 Well, yeah, until you get to the end where it's "That's the second biggest... no, no, that IS the biggest amplifier I've ever seen" (or whatever the exact quote is).
QueZTone Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 im sitting here naked right now.. well...ok im not.
QueZTone Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 no, but i'm telling you...KILLERBEES are nothing compared to ants...

SamNMax Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Originally posted by QueZTone no, but i'm telling you...KILLERBEES are nothing compared to ants... They are like sheep. There going to take over:mad:
SamNMax Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Originally posted by PTDC Ok.. ok... It's the crappest game I've ever played. Oh my God!! Doctor we failed! He's gone insane!
ptdc Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 I'm the sanest I've ever been in my life. I'm not going to go into the myriad reasons why I hated EMI.
