Default Steve Wozniak and MI allusion

Yes this thread was created for a deserving Steve Wozniak (and partly to keep the MI forum going until Telltale creates the second season, which by the way will be out before LA's LCR:SE...)

Back on track.
So Steve Wozniak <3
enthusiastically flew the colours of a Monkey Island reference recently, his shirt read in response to the recent iPhone drama: "I went drinking with Gray Powell and all I got was a lousy iPhone prototype".

Well I thought it was hilarious.
here's a link to the news article,

the "and all i got was this lousy t-shirt" joke is way older than Monkey Island

Yeah, it's got nothing to do with Monkey Island at all. There are milliions of shirts with that joke out there. It was meant as a reference to pop-culture, like many other things in Monkey Island.

Intriguing!
Well we haven't got much of that mass consumerism, and t-shirt circulation "down-under".
But I appreciated Wozniac's sense of style, and musing.

as for this...
It's pretty fair to say that STAR WARS takes precedence over all and any game at LA. And by the time Star Wars has been wrung and put on the line to dry for a while, our much anticipated SE will arrive belatedly. And perhaps by that time Telltale would have treated us to 3rd Season of TOMI.

Beyond a few overated snippets we've coveted from the game, there really isn't news on it's release. Whether they're in development stage, or if the SE was a bad April Fool's joke that hasn't been taken down by the webmaster because he doubles as Star Wars graphic designer, sound guy, and is the producer. My point is no new news, no set dates make anticipation unbearable.
For time's worth it better be a good SE, and really marketed extensively.
This no longer is a testing ground for future reinstalments of classic games.
