How does it feel to have your own wikipedia page? I think someone can know that they've truly made it in this world once they have a wikipedia page to their name.

Either that or it just means they can use Wikipedia...

Hi, Dominic! Thanks for taking the time to answer all our annoying fan questions! Been a fan since I was a wee little lass playing CMI. You're the only Guybrush I'll ever accept.

Q. Any MI-inspired purchases? ex: I loved the tiki lights in CMI so much, I went out and bought some to string around my window.

Hope you've been getting enough sleep lately!

Here's my question: do you know why the ™'s aren't vocalised? In my head I've alway heard them out loud and chuckled inwardly at them.

That's a good question. I always herd them aloud in my head too.

Well, I'd imagine it might elicit a chuckle the first couple of times, but after a while they'd just become distracting. It's only been a week or so since I played through SMI, but I'm already hazy: There's quite a lot of them, no? Every time someone says Monkey Island?

Sande · 06/20/2009, 01:37 pm

Hello

Checking some of your answers it looks like you travelled quite a bit or atleast would like to. So my question is have you ever heard of Finland or know where it is

If not you should check Finland or Sweden or Norway out, great nature and if you dont like cold and snow you can come around in summer and enjoy Laplands night where sun doesent go down.

Yeah, every time anyone say's an islands name you get the trademark sign.

I agree it would get tiring quickly and that they didn't appear in CMI or EMI (but the lawyers in EMI commended guybrush for using it in the text even though it isn't spoken aloud) but I was just wondering if it was ever brought up either when doing CMI/EMI or when doing the Special Edition and what Dominic's thoughts on the matter are.

samandmaxfan · 06/20/2009, 09:51 pm

hey dominic,
do you like how the characters in Monkey Island have evolved over the past few games?

The Batfrog · 06/21/2009, 12:48 am

Yay! More Questions!

If voice acting did not work out for you, and you had to pursue a different job, what job would you do? (and don’t even mention “flooring inspector”!)
Do you have any other form of employment? Or is voice acting your only form of income?
I know this is hard, but what is your favourite monkey island game?
What is your favourite “non-point-and-click” game?
Who is your hero?
What’s your favourite “non-video-game-related” item?
Hey, would you like to buy any of these fine leather jackets?

Aractus · 06/21/2009, 02:52 am

Yeah I have a question - can you record a sound clip for me that says "SCUMM games dot net. The only website devoted to the continued development of new adventure games"? Your only reward will be that you'll be able to hear yourself talk on a website other than mixnmojo!

And - have you seen http://speechproject.mixnmojo.com/ (well of course you've seen it) - have you run the game using that? Although MI1 was buggy and... didn't exactly work like it was supposed to, the voice clips in Monkey2 I think sound good - what do you think?

octochan · 06/21/2009, 11:48 am

Thanks, Dom, for all this extra (unpaid!) effort you're putting into keeping us entertained and giddy with anticipation till the game is released! Especially when you could be sleeping instead.
Two questions:
Have you ever considered doing something like writing a screenplay, or a novel, or making an animated short, or an indie film, or a radio play, or even a video game? Your food blog is a success, so what might your next project be?

Have you ever cooked something you were really proud of that your kid wouldn't touch? and if no, do you have some other food/kid anecdote to share?

Sheepbrush · 06/21/2009, 12:39 pm

Are you going to visit Sweden someday?

fwed1 · 06/21/2009, 03:08 pm

Do you ever pretend to be guybrush doing day to day things? Like muttering to yourself?

snotsnit · 06/21/2009, 05:40 pm

Would you find it awkward if I saw you on the street, and I proceeded to fall foward at your feet and yell at the top of my voice "YOU ARE GOD!" and then asked you to say "I'm selling these fine leather jackets"?

cettefemme · 06/22/2009, 01:48 am

Hi Dominic, allow me to profess my undying love for you. I emailed you once via your website but you're a busy guy and I doubt that you've seen it...

Ok, now that that's out of the way...will you be playing along with the rest of us when the series is released, or have you been able to play some sort of demo already (notwithstanding the fact that you recorded the lines so you know what's going to happen; well, you know what's happening from Guybrush's end of it)? Finally, would you come back for an MI5 (a prequel to TMI, I guess) and what would you want to be included in it, i.e. plot directions and such?

Oh, and I second snotsnit's comment. I've been a fan of the series for eight years (since I was a mere ten years old) and they really could not have chosen someone better to play Guybrush.

Not to mention Dominic Armato's demo tape and the Barbery Coast audition songs

OzzieMonkey · 06/22/2009, 03:28 am

Hey Dom,
Great to have you back as our pantalooned pal! Just wondering, if you got the part of any other character (like largo) in the series, would you take it?

gfdas29 · 06/22/2009, 07:23 am

Does having worked on the MI games ruin the playing experience for you in any way? Do you think it would be more fun to play them completely blind like us landlubbers?

What is the best insult you've ever heard? What is the best reply to an insult you've ever heard?
