Aw, I was just teasing. I just really think you ought to play it.

I do not pretend to be a fan.

Sorry, it just gets on my nerves when people act like that. I'm quite sensitive to such attitudes. Apologies.

Really, I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to be mean. Just a playful nudge to find it and play it. Would be a good way to spend the time between now and Tales of Monkey Island's release.

par⋅o⋅dy /ˈpærədi/ –noun 1. a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing

I was parodying the 'that's the second biggest *insert object* I've ever seen.

EeK85 · 06/10/2009, 09:38 am

That was the second fastest giveaway I have ever seen! :O

Too bad I didn't know the answer. I have the memory of a fish.

Wicked Mouse · 06/10/2009, 09:41 am

Actually, I was hoping they would revitalize MI2 the same way they did with MI1 (the seemless transition between classic and new version), as I never played that one either, so that I could pick it up after MI1:SE
I once had a pirated copy of MI1, 1 or 2 years ago or so, but think i wasn't in the adventuring mood and maybe not as attracted to the old graphics as I was back in those days when it was still "top notch" so I didn't really play it. I'll see. Adventure games aren't the only games I play.

PariahKing · 06/10/2009, 09:56 am

DBrodzinski is me. Should've made my twitter handle match my user account, I was originally dissapointed when I didn't see a "P" anywhere.

*Silverwolfpet* · 06/10/2009, 09:57 am

Wow! Congratulations guys!
Darn it..that was a tough one. I didn't quite made it in time to answer, but I would've mixed them up anyway

My first guess was snuggle-pumpkin or something like that

AndyBundy · 06/10/2009, 09:58 am

I knew answers but in German. Not even my beloved www.dict.cc could translate these names used in the localized MI2. Look at the names and how I tried to translate them: Mäusezähnchen (mouse teeth?), Honigkuchen (honey cake), Schmusebacke (dunno how to tranlsate that one), Zuckerpüppchen (sugar babe), Schnuckelchen (little sweetie). Only Honigkuchen / honey cakes I may have got right, the rest totally wrong. Maybe the next giveaway is really for all fans, not for english natives / english versions only...

HoppyDragon · 06/10/2009, 09:58 am

I never win these sort of things so I was pleasantly surprised.

Sucks that it was English only. =\

(And I will be trying to get these signed by the other members of the team, but it'll be catch as catch can).

Oh I think one complete set survived... and it's mine, all mine!!!!

Badges are interesting of course, but what's that document off to the side with Monkey Island on it? I'm more interested in that right now!

Guybrush Threepwood · 06/10/2009, 10:20 am

Check Jake subtly leaving other stuff on his desk for the photo. What is that Sam & Max box in the darkness? Looks like Steve Purcell's drawing for the Season 1 cover, but the background isn't the same and there is the Gametap (?) logo in the bottom left. Then under that, a SBCG4AP box... perhaps the one available in the store?

hockeyalltheway · 06/10/2009, 10:21 am

Looks like the script or something.

Now, I'd gladly take the SBCG4AP DVD off your hands, Jake. xD

Ah it's a printout of a near-final pass of the TMI logo, next to the Special Edition logo. We were doing side-by-side tests to see how they'd look next to each other in LucasArts' E3 promotional materials and stuff. (It was important to LEC that they looked complimentary when you saw them hanging out together.)

Points to David E for that brilliant Telltale 5th Anniversary logo. I wish we could figure out a place to sneak it in on the site.

Zomantic · 06/10/2009, 10:43 am

That tagline was a tad too obvious, but ToMI needs a tagline anyway. What were the ones for previous episodes?

LeChuck's Revenge -> He's big. He's bad. He's back.

The Curse of Monkey Island - > The only pirate adventure that asks the question: What's sharper, your sword or your wit?

Escape from Monkey Island - > Aye, 'tis an offbeat adventure of piratey proportions!

I quite like the one in the current ToMI webpage: "Humor, romance & piratey swashbuckling in an all new epic saga". I quite like the words "romance" and "saga"... Don't know if it can be considered a tagline, though.
