Ooooh man...please please make a S&M-esque Case File and include that "Ask me about Monkey Island" button.

Please?

Did LucasArts get a new president or something?

They did, actually. His name is Darrell Rodriguez, and he's a big Monkey Island fan.

LukeSW · 06/01/2009, 07:48 pm

Well, if he's the one responsible for allowing Telltale to license Monkey Island, and also for green-lighting the remake, then he's a good man in my book. Could this be a sign that - gasp! - Lucasarts once more cares about it's classic (and best) properties?

Whatever the case may be, if I were to entrust the future of a much loved classic franchise to anyone, it'd be to you guys/girls at Telltale Games - I can't think of a a more capable crew of scurvy, no-good, grog-addled, filthy, thieving, sneaky, cut throat pirate lowlifes!

Hm. Perhaps my "pirate lingo" didn't quite work out to be the complement I meant it to be...

Seepgood · 06/01/2009, 09:18 pm

I didn't even read about the extras in the pre-order. I remember seeing the words Monkey Island, Telltale, and Pre-order and the next thing I can remember is breathing heavily looking at the post orderiong screen.

ENJN · 06/01/2009, 09:22 pm

This is awesome guys. I've been waiting years. I'm completely shocked and thrilled. You've made my year.

I have to hand it to LucasArts it was getting pretty bleak there for a few years.. Hoorah for Rodriguez.. and Telltale of course. Looking forward to the E3 posts

Hi fellow private pirates

I love those buttons, especially the "Ask me" one. I think the evolution shirt was funny too but it didn't explain where the 3-headed monkey fits in

I'm in a total MI media blitz today since finding out the news and am ecstatic! I was happy a few days ago when I saw Telltale re-upped the "Summer of Sam & Max" but apparently they'll be sharing the summer with a few monkeys too. Hopefully Max plays nice with them.

Looking forward to more E3 news, thanks again Telltale

leChuckie · 06/02/2009, 12:20 am

Just checked it wasn't a dream, thanks Telltale, Pre-order done, and I'd be willing to bet that this will be your most popular game on the pre-order front, congrats guys!

It also appears that SMI:SE will be LucasArts first foray into PC Digital Downloads. I'll be curious to see if they will piggy back of Telltales setup, build their own or use Steam.

oh my god, thanks for the link. I just ordered the poster and two shirts (one for hubby, one for me). the international shipping is outrageous, but oh well.

MONKEY IS BACK, BABY!

m4dg4m3 · 06/02/2009, 02:08 am

I hope they end up on Steam at some point. I Must Have That Game (tm), but I'd be hesitant about getting it from an inexperienced publisher...

enciclopedia · 06/02/2009, 04:03 am

I want those pins!!!

And I think that "Tales of the Tentacle" can be also a nice idea...

plagiarize · 06/02/2009, 05:44 am

request for a 'case file' with that 'Ask me about Monkey Island' pin thirded or fourthed.

Bas · 06/02/2009, 06:20 am

Yeah, definitely make thoses "Ask me about Monkey Island" buttons available to us somehow. Man, they're awesome.

Emily · 06/02/2009, 06:28 am

We had a great meeting with Dante from Adventure Gamers last night. Here's his preview: http://adventuregamers.com/article/id,1024

After that, Kevin, Dave, and Lindsay (our office manager who's experiencing her first ever E3) went out to a really weird Japanese dinner. I might post a picture of it if my stomach ever recovers.

Up today: Mixnmojo interview at the hotel, then rush over to the convention center where we meet with press back to back to back. We'll also have Day 1 of our rent-a-pirates handing out buttons and making a general commotion near the front entrance of West Hall. I'm hoping they'll do some live action Insult Swordfighting.

Pictures to come whenever we can get online to post them!

Yay, just saw this today, and im totally geeking out here. Already preordered MI5 from you, and ordered the poster and the evolution T-shirt from the lucasarts store.
PLEASE tell me you guys are gonna do a Purcell poster too, i would love to have it hanging next to my MI2 and MI3 posters (yep, old fan, managed to convince some store owners to give me their promotional posters when they took them down)
