I don't think Telltale are having any trouble coming up with story ideas for their games

First thing is that a new MI-game depends on Lucas Arts, wo have the rights.

Second thing is that Telltale is really busy right now, they have so many projects on the run (JP, Waling Dead, Kings Quest, Fables ect.). they probably won't announce an new thing before late 2012 or 2013. Soo, if there will be a new MI, you have to be patient.

Regarding a special edition for The Curse of Monkey Island: Well, LucasArts haven't announced one, and personally, I don't think we absolutely need one. It's got reasonably high resolution graphics, good voice acting and music, and a modern interface.

I have been wanting to ask this: What the hell kind of a person names a character Guybrush Threepwood?

Here's the story behind the name.

Without knowing its origins, I must say that the name is a little obscure and ridiculous . But, then again, it's sort of meant to be.

You know what's funny: this semester I've been studying The Odyssey and I started thinking to myself that Odysseus was like the original Adventure Game protagonist. While all the other Greek soldiers valued brute strength, Odysseus used his cunning and keen wit to overcome obstacles. Look at the Trojan Horse; it's exactly the kind of bizarre solution you'd find to a puzzle in an Adventure Game, not a traditionally accepted military strategy.

I find it really awesome that Ulysses, Latin for Odysseus, is Guybrush's middle name. It's a perfect fit.

Do we know what LucasArts is doing besides the Kinect Star Wars game? I am losing the little hope I had for a season 2

The origin of the name "Guybrush" comes in part from Deluxe Paint, the tool used by the artists to create the character sprite. Since the character had no name at this point, the file was simply called 'Guy'. When the file was saved, Steve Purcell, the artist responsible for the sprite, added 'brush' to the filename, indicating that it was the Deluxe Paint "brush file" for the "Guy" sprite. The file name was then "guybrush.bbm", so the developers eventually just started referring to this unnamed 'Guy' as "Guybrush".[2]

And 'Threepwood' comes — reportedly second-hand — from the works of P.G. Wodehouse. It's the family name of the earls of Emsworth in the Blandings Castle stories.

Its obvious that people asking when/if there will be a sequel is fruitless.

...

Will there be?

Well, I'll just say that I wouldn't be unhappy with a second season, if they ever do get around to it. I'd love to see them do something more with Morgan, and the cliff-hanger-esque foreshadowing after the credits certainly makes one want more.

I loved how epic this storyline was, too. I think I actually liked it more than Curse of Monkey Island, which had up to now been my favourite.

In November of 2011, when CEO of Telltale games Dan Conners was asked a question about another season of Monkey island, he replied "I wish we had the rights to do more Monkey but we don't. Right now what I gather is LA is focused on building AAA titles internally but honestly we don't talk much these days."[10]

We've been waiting for 9 years. I suppose we can still wait without being surprised, now.

Maybe when LA will see that Schafer and Gilbert's new adventure game is awesome, they'll change their minds.

I doubt the current head honchos at LA care about a game being awesome... they might be interested if the sales are awesome.

Yep, that's how I see it too.

I just hope they won't make a crappy Monkey Island someday.

But true it is also. We have to remember these mistakes so they won't be repeated.
