I downloaded it, I started playing. I have to bring it down to 640×480 to play it on highest detail, but with all that fancy graphical stuff, it looks as pretty as full motion video. I played the original briefly on a friend’s computer years back, so I don’t have any emotional attachment to it. I’ve been using ASDF to control it which works fine for me. My main frustration so far is how, in spite of their being different dialog options for theconversations, in some of those conversations the options DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. Guybrush doesn’t even say what I choose, and of course there’s no reaction from the other character. How was no one complained about this?

They should have done this from the start. If they’re only selling by season, let the free ‘demo’ be the first episode, and build up hype for the rest of them.

It’s free! Why wouldn’t you give it a go? If only to get as far as the puzzle pictured at the top, which is one of the cleverest and funniest puzzles in the whole Monkey Island series.

I work with a woman who has a glass eye. Someone suggested we do fancy dress for a charity event we have coming up and without thinking I suggested Pirates and then said “You’d look good in an eye patch”.

Mind you, it’s not as bad as that time that I asked if she ever lets her husband pop it out and [CENSORED].

Hang on. Haaaang on. They’re free? Copies of the game are free? Permanently, or free for that day?

Err, huh? I liked Bioshock, and sadly never got a chance to play System Shock 2.

I laughed harder than I should have at this.
Might get the remade Monkey Island now that it’s half price, too.

You’re not wrong. Maybe Heliocentric is the antidote to your overwhelming positivity Vinraith :P. What would happen if I put a 250ml glass with 125ml of water in it between you two?
