In the first two Monkey Island games Elaine never fights with a sword. Her strength comes from being one step ahead of everyone. She doesn't need to conform to the male power fantasy trope to be strong and that is what I have always found interesting about Elaine. #MonkeyIsland
Trivia of the Day from Return to #MonkeyIsland: Three familiar pirates—RIP—on Terror Island. Previously seen on “The Secret of Monkey Island” cover. The Steve Purcell signature even made its way onto the lapel.
Over 70 wallpapers of all 'em LucasArts games we love! Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Loom and more. Including some of my derpy artwork and designs in there too
They work on everything! Twitter frand not only got them all, but also shared this video with meee
The refresher dialogue you get in 'Return to Monkey Island' when coming back to the game after a couple of days of not playing, asking if you remember where you left off and giving you the option to get a brief reminder of the story so far and your current objectives, or just get right back into the game, is such a neat feature. More games should be doing this, please.
Why yes, as a matter of fact it IS a voodoo doll...
LeChuck cosplay from Monkey Island 2 made and worn by me, photography by TLF aka Guybrush, editing by both of us. I have two more new LeChuck photos to show, so let me know if you like this one (:
#Humongous games finished (several times), my daughter asked for more games like this. I picked a couple of adventure games not too hard. Based on box, she picked #MonkeyIsland. Playing on family TV with @scummvm . I read all the text to her, she's not yet fast enough herself. When shopkeeper said he won't lead us the way, she said: "Let's just follow the guy" Swordfighting, no problem either. Need to push her to talk to people, she doesn't like that much. @grumpygamer
Game Unboxing
From 2020-2022 I had the honor of being Terrible Toybox’s Lead Game Programmer on the adventure game, “Return to Monkey Island”. Look what the publisher, #DevolverDigital, was willing to send to me!
