At least to me that would be more believable than a developers' commentary track - that's what I call artificial.

And in the end, I'm only imagining. It's not like it's ever going to be up for debate.

Actually this sounds kind of cool. I'd buy it.

If you say it like that, then it does sound interesting

Or make "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years" a real book, that'd be interesting too. Though that could quickly turn into a rehash of the games, only boring.

Or make a new game, that tells the story how Guybrush tells others. Over exaggerated and over the top.

Each event would have to closely tie to the originals, so that it's obvious how Guybrush mis-remembers it. It would have to be fairly short, because seeing Guybrush beat up LeChuck would get old.

It would be interesting at least.

It's 'COULDN'T care less.' Just saying. http://incompetech.com/gallimaufry/care_less.html

That has already been brought up.

Then the second time I'll use commentary mode, since that sounds very interesting.

Minor nitpick: It should be "I could'nt care less"

I know, it was intentional.

Also, "couldn't", not "could'nt".

Or the implication could be "I could care less" and that is what they will do... start caring even less.

Kind of like.

question "are you hungry?"

answer "I could eat"

Technically, I'm right, 'cause I care even less about what you're saying right now.

Rather Dashing · 05/09/2010, 05:38 pm

Definitely first(and possibly only) time through. The way it is set up is unobtrusive AND I've already played through the game before and know it pretty well.

Ezny · 05/11/2010, 03:47 pm

Definately second playthrough. My most recent playthrough of MI2 was around a year ago so I know the game pretty well by now but I still look forward to having it in hd on my tv and all that jazz, new looking and stuff...
Then I'll listen to the commentaries, and do things a little differently so I can catch anything I missed on first run.

Jenny · 05/15/2010, 10:38 pm

I think I'll put the commentary mode on the first time. I have the whole game memorized already, I could recite it in my sleep.

I'd like to see that.

Hyperactive German Guybrush · 05/16/2010, 04:11 am

Second playthough. I've only just beaten MI2, but wanna see and hear the shiny before commentary.

I don't know if I'll ever play SE versions of MI because I don't want to DL a game. I like owning everything I have, if it's not on a CD then forget it!

Well, TTGs MI wasn't on CDs at first but I just have to order my DVD...

I'm still hoping that after MI2:SE is out that Lucasarts will release a DVD version with both on it.

RMJ1984 · 05/16/2010, 05:49 pm
