This morning I’m just reflecting (again) that I’d love to buy the other 5 Monkey Island games on Switch, and the most recent Dominic trailer possibly aimed at newcomers makes me wish it more.
All ready for the last monday? ![]()
Bonus points for September.
Preparing for the rapture
Et voilà
It’s funny how they barely showing us anything. Most of the clips we saw could be just one small video put together.
They really don’t want to spoil the game.
-
Acknowledgement of the point that Guybrush never officially completed pirate certification. But they didn’t mention drinking grog together.
-
Does this mean we won’t see the Men of Fiber? Before this all started, I would’ve bet on seeing them.
It’s true, he never provided evidence of completing the third trial. ![]()
He was so focused on claiming to be a mighty pirate that he never considered that he was not even a pirate.
Why is it spelled “The Secret of Monkey Island”, with a capital “T”, as if it were the name of the game and not the name of the secret?
Maybe when he finds the secret of Monkey Island, he just finds a copy of the game “The Secret of Monkey Island”.
I’m happy about that. After game is out it will be so difficult to not spoil. No internet that can comment on RtMI until I beat it? I debate but that’s safest! I also want to share the magic of the release and playing with like minded people we have here.
Guybrush says “[I’ve talked about the Secret] ad nauseam, Elaine says”.
So they’re in good terms in this game
They regularly talk.
Not a big fan of the “my wife hates me” joke. I know other MI games had them as well and I didn’t like them there either. At least its just a quick one.
Still, very cool teaser. I guess this is before the old gang goes and inflates fish like balloons.
Note also that Wally’s door has a note on it. And remember the earlier Monkey Monday with Wally, and nobody in the street.
Phase 1: Pirates in street; Wally closed
Phase 2: Pirates in fish store; Wally open
Because that’s the correct grammar. The word ‘The’ being capitalised in this instance is because it’s the first word in a term which designates the importance of a recognised legend. That’s absolutely the correct English grammar, as is the ‘of’ being lowercase (because it’s a minor word like ‘the’ but unlike said word, it’s not the first word in the recognised legend).
It’s orthography though. ![]()
I’ll see myself out…
Where can I learn more about the capitalization of the name of legends?
Also, is it possible that the fact that Guybrush asks Wally if he has “a map to The Secret of Monkey Island” suggests that he is not referring to a legend?
You’re taking me too literally. The point is that the orthography (thanks, Frenzie) is correct; the capitalisation of the word ‘The’ is not specifically to do with fictional legends, but rather titles or things of importance.
