Dominic Every Englishman must have a hobby. Some like to collect the stamp, some like to make the jam, but the most fun is to a kill a little animal with a shotgun, I like play monkey game islands, you like played ?

In my country we say to let a woman drive a car is like to let a monkey fly a plane, very dangerous yes.

Dont you think so?

When I think back, I realize that every time another MI came out, I had basically the same kind of reaction -- MI2: "what the.. Guybrush has a beard?!", CMI: "what the... why is Guybrush so tall!?", EMI: "what the... why is Guybrush so short... and in 3d!?!" Once I start playing it though, I get used to him and then he's just Guybrush.

The only thing about the new look that I don't like is the ear piercings. I think Guybrush would be too scared of having a needle jammed through his ear... I'll just assume they're clip-ons.

Do you own a chicken with a pulley in the middle? If so what uses does it have?

Threepwood4Life · 06/04/2009, 12:00 pm

Hi Dominic,

Good to hear your voice once again as the greatest wannabe pirate of all time.

Since you did the voice of Largo in that 2002 April fools joke of soundbytes for the fake Monkey Island 5, I was just wondering do you think Largo could make a return in these new adventures and would you actually do the voice as well?

JanT · 06/04/2009, 12:14 pm

Hi,

I've read somewhere that there's only one guy who does like half of all Futurama voices, and many times recording episodes meant that the guy was talking by himself. So is voice acting about the ability to change your voice, or can you have a career with only one voice? Is changing your voice and inventing new voices something you can learn, or something that must come naturally?

Xocrates · 06/04/2009, 12:16 pm

Well, I don't think I have any more questions for the time being, so I just want to thank Dom for his time

xfinitex · 06/04/2009, 12:35 pm

What was the most fun for you this time around, an all new Monkey Island, or recording the audio for Secret?

Zephyer · 06/04/2009, 01:23 pm

What are your favorite games besides the point and click ones Dom? (You seem like a Fallout 2/Baldurs Gate guy :P)

ghostgurl · 06/04/2009, 01:24 pm

Hey Dominic, it's great to have you back. What would you say is your favorite insult from Monkey Island? Aside from the obvious of course.

The Morpher · 06/04/2009, 01:24 pm

Thank you for letting him do the voice for this installment.

So Dom, are you doing any other projects, besides Monkey Island, at the moment?

(I hope this question hasn't been asked before, I just can't be bothered to flick through all these posts XD)

Ash735 · 06/04/2009, 02:01 pm

Hi Dominic, just dropping by to say you do a brilliant job and that you ARE Guybrush, if Guybrush had a different voice then it just wouldn't be right.

Quick question, someone already mentioned "Plank of Love" from Monkey Island 3 but there was also a scene cut from the game before the last level, a storyboard exists for this and rumoured is that the script for this scene was done to, some even say that an old promo for Monkey Island 3 briefly shows a clip from this scene. so the question is, what the hell happened to this scene and what really happened, how did Guybrush get on the rollercoaster?

serweet · 06/04/2009, 02:17 pm

two questions this time

1) Are you the reason that Van Helgin says the tenor that used to be in the barbery coast quartet was called Dominic? Do you sing Tenor at all?

2) Are you getting tired of these questions (because you better not be

), or are you possibly worried about what may be asked?

Like probing questions about your dark past?

What ever happened to your sister anyway? And why have you never been photographed with her suspected killer Donnald Ackart, who shares your birth-date and general description? </sillyness>

**Jake** · 06/04/2009, 03:08 pm

Just a heads up, guys -- I think Dom is in the studio today recording the dialog for episode 2 -- so don't be surprised if his currently crazy schedule of updating this thread multiple times a day is interrupted

Rokkerinn · 06/04/2009, 03:23 pm

hey Dom.
this series is as old as i am and these games have followed me through my life!
My girlfriend loves them and we play them together sometimes.
i just wanted to thank you for bringing this awesome character to life and i hope to see so much more of monkey island!
monkey island 3 still my favorite but mostly because it was my first.... kind of like first love....
i guess i'm saying "thanks for being my first love dom!" :P
hope you have fun making this new series!

oh and a question:
do you ever forget yourself in character as guybrush?
and furthermore, has the wife ever asked you to play him, like say, in bed? x)
don't have to answer the last one, just thought it would be a good followup :P

xzodia · 06/04/2009, 04:25 pm

This is awesome! I can't wait to play more MI XD
I enjoyed MI so much I was inspired to make my own adventure game!
There's no question that it will contain tributes to the series. Once its further into its development, would you be interested in doing a short dialogue as Guybrush, Dominic? That would be so epic!

Fury · 06/04/2009, 05:13 pm

Ooo already recording episode 2.

Telltale, you guys really do a great job at releasing episodic games. By far, you guys are leading the way for other developers in terms of episodic content. Other companies, such as Valve, have the right idea, but TAKE FREAKING 2 YEARS BETWEEN EACH EPISODE! GAH!..

Oh yeah another question.

Have you played ALL the old Scumm games? Or just monkey island?

Slashmire · 06/04/2009, 05:59 pm

Being in a lead designer in a big company that has never really used voice actors, are you stealable and bribable (as in can we beat and strike you with frozen tuna) to make voices for our games it the opportunity ever comes? Or do we need to go all the boring way of contacting your agent, poisoning his food and contacting you because you don't have an agent?

I have nothing in mind, just wondering how easy it is it to communicate with you on those matters?
