You can check it out here!

Feedback appreciated as always, thanks for all the support!

Hmm, I always thought he'd have a thick bushy mustache. I'm kind of disappointed. Ah, and great job with the interview, interesting stuff. I demand we get a musical number, Telltale!

Hey Spadge, thanks for the feedback The photo was taken for this interview, if you check out Mike's wiki entry though he has a full man-beard! I think we should campaign for that musical number!

Screw the campaign. We're pirates. Let's start a riot.

Seriously, though, I was really hoping for a musical number in Tales of Monkey Island, too.

You almost touched on it, but did you actually ask about some of the confusion people were having with the timeline concerning Guybrush's age and the time between games?

There's a line Poxed Elaine says in court which suggests Guybrush was trapped in the carnival at the end of Monkey Island 2 for 3 years, whereas Stan suggests that he was locked in a coffin for only three months.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that picture was taken at my Uncle Dave's house in Orinda

I really need some better stock photos.

Correcting the record,
Stemmle

Nice interview.

Actually, I'm pretty sure "eh wot" is just a stereotypical British expression.

Me too. Maybe it's even in some of Major Crum's lines in Wallace and Gromit. Or not. But it's the kind of thing he'd say, eh wot?

Excellence.... Congrats and thanks for asking him about the fourth game.... I will defend it til I die.... Because he is right despite having some major flaws there are a bunch of great things in it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I have to say, even though I'm British 'eh wot' stumped me a little, and google suggested animal crossing!

And thanks Mike for clarification on the pic (and providing a fantastic, funny interview)

I might do another Alexandra Boyd interview when the series is over, and a longer than usual Dominic Armato one as I am sure he will have LOTS to say when all is said and done. If any of you have any questions you think I haven't covered, now is the time to let me know!

I actually loved the forth game despite some small flaws that I think people have blown out of proportion over the years, so I was sure to ask him about it

Yeah he was great to interview, nothing better than speaking to the people behind something you love, and they turn out to be just as fun!

Interesting idea there for an interview, and one I had been thinking about a lot quite recently. All I can say is cross your fingers and stay tuned...

Thanks to everyone for your feedback and continued support, it means a lot. I am hoping I will have some great articles/ interviews in the coming month to round off a fantastic series from Telltale of Monkey Island and to say thank you once again to you all.

How about asking about Earl Boen's semi-involvement in the series?

I almost wonder if he was recording stuff for Lucasarts special edition while they were recording the dialogue for chapter one... so he couldn't do it at the time, or didn't feel like working on two projects at the same time....
