Telltale Games

TofuHead · 07/07/2009, 07:12 pm

As soon as I heard the words porcelain, I was struck by the lack of recoil from Guybrush. What's the deal, telltalegames???

Wait until he has to actually touch one.

HoppyDragon · 07/07/2009, 07:18 pm

Maybe he had porcelain therapy between EfMI and ToMI.

TofuHead · 07/07/2009, 07:20 pm

:S He would never have even touched one in the past.

LuigiHann · 07/07/2009, 07:24 pm

He's grown up a bit. Maybe.

onlyamonkey · 07/07/2009, 08:48 pm

porc elaine.

IronJawbone · 07/07/2009, 08:53 pm

^That was on his honeymoon (Oh snap!)

Any ways, it seems his fear of porcelain has diminished this game, but at least he still fears it. Maybe because of indoor plumbing getting popular enough that he's been desensitized to it?

I've got a question: I remember Guybrush hating porcelain in MI4, but in no MI before. Did I miss it or did he just start to hate it in MI4?
I remember the Ming-Vase in MI1 which Guybrush could take, and this was also porcelain, wasn't it?

It started in Monkey 3 and who knows why?

ark4869 · 07/09/2009, 09:18 am

Where in MI3?

Mataku · 07/09/2009, 09:20 am

^ anywhere that had porcelain.

I think the first pieces of porcelain you encounter in CMI are in the captain's cabin of the ship in Danjer Cove.

He does say: "I'll tell you later." (Or, something to that effect.)

I do believe that is part of the joke.

Yeah, but didn't Indiana Jones had to touch a snake at one point in his adventures?

SurplusGamer · 07/09/2009, 10:18 am

Haha, people are funny.

There was a joke in CMI about his fear of porcelain, but who's to say he can't touch it at all? He seemed appropriately scared when he had to pick it up! It's just a throwaway gag anyway.

It's because he gets his head stuck in a porcelain vase during Secret of Monkey Island.
