Telltale Games

I've said it in the other thread but I'll say it again here, Dom and Earl really made that end scenes of Monkey Island 2 brilliant, they played well off each other even if it wasn't recorded at the same time, just shows how much they know the characters now!

Ikzai · 07/07/2010, 02:27 pm

Dom, you are the man. I remember playing Curse for the first time and hearing your voice and thinking...

"holy crap. He nailed it."

No one else can do it. You're great.

*Silverwolfpet* · 07/07/2010, 03:25 pm

Way to go, Dom!!
You know, it will be funny to hear your voice in "Monkey Island 27: Lechuck's Really REALLY Annoyed Now!" when you'll be 82 years old.

PariahKing · 07/07/2010, 03:54 pm

I have wanted to see this scene rendered with modern voice over for years.

I haven't played the game yet.

I am already convinced this is going to be one of the favorite moments of my life, only 15 years later than I would have expected...

TomPravetz · 07/07/2010, 03:55 pm

Huzzah Dom! I love you like ~~a fat kid loves cake~~ ~~Max loves violence~~ Guybrush loves Elaine. (but not in the same way.)

Captain Mickey · 07/07/2010, 07:24 pm

I said it once, but I'll say it again: Dom, may I give you a big ol' hug? Not only because you managed to be just spot-on with voice acting when it comes to Mr. Threepwood, but for being just incredibly awesome!

thin029 · 07/07/2010, 09:15 pm

Nobody can voice Guybrush better than him. His work is perfect

Emberage · 07/07/2010, 09:44 pm

I will add my voice to the bunch; Dominic Armato deserves all praise. He's stepped into a beloved character years ago and helped deepen our love of him. Forevermore Guybrush!

eMKayeN · 07/08/2010, 05:46 am

I've gotta agree with all the praise, Dom you are fantastic in LeChucks' Revenge: SE, the delivery of certain lines is damn near perfect and really makes the scenes work. I haven't finished my playthrough of it yet but you are doing a fantastic job as usual.

a3HeadedMonkey · 07/08/2010, 06:02 am

His latest role in MI2 SE is flawless. Absolutely amazing! I would be a very happy man if I could one day meet you to shake your hand & say thank you in person.

corruptbiggins · 07/08/2010, 09:38 am

He was great in MI2:SE. Wonder how long it took to record just the colours for when talking philosophy with Herman.

akaimizu · 07/08/2010, 10:08 am

The main thing I can say is that Dominic Armato is the voice of Guybrush. It's a particularly recognizable voice for which no other voice would really feel at home, with that character. Kind of like Deem Bristol was for Dr. Robotnik. (Though Deem is no longer with us, his voice fit Robotnik better than any other.)

It also helped that as more games came out with Guybrush, the character developed further. It's not simply because he innocent, naive, and good-natured; it's also because he also seems to really show feats of amazing courage and dedication when the going gets tough. Part luck? Yes. But oddly enough, a person who actually earned a position where great villains actually feel they have to keep an eye on Threepwood. He's seen as an actual threat.

That, and one might actually say that, at one time, he was truly the mightiest and most feared pirate in the Carribean. Fans might remember when.

I guess if it's one thing that sold me on this game, was that the voice cast came back to do it. That means, folks like Dominic are officially in every Monkey Island game, now. A part of a complete collection.

Mermaid · 07/08/2010, 10:10 am

All I can do is fully agree.
I just posted this on another thread: I also found the last scenes between Guybrush and LeChuck in the catacombs amazing. That pained outcry by Guybrush when LeChuck reveals to him that he is his brother actually gave me goose bumps. It sure was over the top for this basically comical scene but I guess that was intended. Dominic exceled himself in that scene once again!

jeeno0142 · 07/08/2010, 11:26 am

Nobody can replace Dominic as Guybrush. That is for certain.

That's a really depressing thought

Psychotron7x2 · 07/08/2010, 01:10 pm

What Billy West is to Futurama, Dom is to Monkey Island.

Dom brings so much to the character and makes it a really fun experience to play and hear him. I'm so pleased he was able to come back and complete the entire MI series with his voice. I feel quite content now so any more we get from him in the future will be a nice bonus. Fingers crossed.

GOOD WORK DOMINIC!

PariahKing · 07/08/2010, 11:48 pm

Wow.

Just finished.

Thank you Dom (and Earl) for bringing to life my favorite childhood memory. Seriously. That...thanks. LeBron James just left Cleveland and I don't even care anymore.

The Green Ranger · 07/11/2010, 12:38 pm

Dominic one of the best voice actors ever cant wait to play monkey island 2

OzzieMonkey · 07/11/2010, 11:43 pm

The final scene of Monkey 2 has finally made me sad. The voice acting was awesome, Dominic! It was so emotional (cries in a corner)!

prizna · 07/11/2010, 11:55 pm

Really great job, absolutely loved the Star Wars voice work at the end, it was spot on.
