Ariana Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 No, I think they're wrong. But you do have to be rather silly to appreciate Monkey Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullog Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Those people doesn't understand what that little cross is doing, flying around all over the screen, moving things. "It's the cursor" you tell them. "Ooooh!" they say. "So how do you blow that pirate's brain out?". "It's not Counterstrike, you know.." - "It isn't?"- "NO!" - Then it sux!!!!".. I'm not very patience with such people.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a game about pirates after all dag nabit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, get beat up. Talk sequence LeChuck's Revenge deemed boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernil Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 These games (MI1 and MI2 mostly) have shaped my life. All of what I say, my humor mostly, has been changed and improved (i like to think) because of these games. True, I am christened a dork by even my cloest friends...they just don't see the beauty in the games...but heck, its a good life...... Your friends are right. I am insane to find (extreme) humor in a humorous game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 When I introduced one of my friends to MI (I think it was Curse) she was a little incredulous about the puzzles and their solutions. I.E. she had trouble thinking of the wonderful, wacky, creative answers. But then she played long enough, got quite accustomed to it, and now says "ARRRRR!" with the best of them. We can both be quite sane at times, but maybe you have to swich into "insane mode" before you can play MI? Or perhaps it's just a zen thing, or maybe we are special....or we are THE ELECT! Yes, that's great....Players of Monkey Island are the Elect! Ok, scratch all of that. I am insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicardoLuigi... Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 or do you mean "the select"? actually, the elect sounds like it kinda makes sense...i don't know why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Or perhaps you meant the elected, as in voted to be cool? Or something? My friend said the graphics in SOMI were dodgy so I leant him the game and he played it for a while and when he'd finished he said that the graphics were dodgy.

Alia Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Main Entry: Elect Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural elect Date: 15th century 1 : one chosen or set apart (as by divine favor) 2 plural : a select or exclusive group of people Aww, now it doesn't sound as special. But IMHO "Elite" is used much more and is therefore less special. I'll stick with Elect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzbizz Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 There are only a few people in this world who have that sense on adventure in them. These are the people who will appreciate MI. I personally wish i lived in the 13th century and be a real pirate (and a female one at that...and a good one - non of the captain kate rubbish).

Emma Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 The Monkey Island series is one of those games series that has appealed to a massive audience. Ask gamers, non gamers about the games and their faces will light up with nostalgia. Everyone loves the Monkey Island games. I've heard very few people criticise them. It is by no means a games series for a niche market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
