After reading Brendan's post in the 'Getting to know you' thread, his mention of The Princess Bride has got me thinking. An adventure game based in that universe would be just about the most excellent thing ever. Unlikely to happen, granted, but it's a world ideally suited. A lot of the humour in that film reminds me of some of the LucasArts adventure games in a way, and the characters are so wonderfully created - they'd lend themselves very well to our favourite genre. That said, I guess Westley is dangerously close to Guybrush Threepwood in a number of ways. Still, just a thought.

And hey, Carey Elwes has shown with 'The Bard's Tale' that he's not adverse to videogame voice work. Make it happen, Telltale.
