    Guys, help! I'm stuck in Chapter II: My Monkey's Uncle.

    I can't get Guybrush to do the chicken dance to distract the rabid pirahna poodles! He keep telling me that he needs "a pair of fluffy kittens", but I can't find those anywhere. What should I do? Is there a walkthrough to this thing? Maybe we should write it...

    You've got to go back to Hector's dustbunny ranch and combine the razorblade with the baby dustbunnies. Guybrush will improvise and cut off the ears of the baby bunnies and turn them into "half arsed kitten-looking dustbunnies". They'll do for a replacement.

    Ah! How stupid of me! Why didn't I think of that?!

    Okay, now I'm in the mansion. You know, Madam Xima's Summer Residence. I think there's a bug in the game. As I open the Porcelain Casket using Murray's Leg (which is, in my opinion, the best in-joke of the series), I get sucked in by a vortex and then everyting goes purple. Is that normal? Or should I adjust my set?
    I am using a GeForce 9600 and 1.5 RAM.

    No, Silverwolfpet, you have to find the Chron-o-John to travel to the past and prevent purple tentacle to suck you. You are now inside it, actually.

    Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately) It's not available for download.

    Ah, but to get out of to vortex in order to get to the Chron-o-John, you need to hold Shift-CTRL-TAB-and the numbers 3,8,6,0, on with caps lock, scroll lock and number lock on. It's their form of copyright protection. Didn't you read the manual? Also, the answer to the question your asked after words is 4-headed puppy.

    Hey, guys! I just found the most aggravating easter egg in the history of MI!

    In the first chapter, go to Miss Ghkxcszt's tea party, and take the super-mushrooms. Then go to the industrial district and throw the mushroom into the open pipe on the left side of the room. Then, go to Sir Jackson's license-plate machine and type in "JUSTIN BAILEY" on the console (this egg will only work before you destroy it, though), and then take the license plate and put it in the stove in the restaurant kitchen. Then you go back to the peninsula, where a portal will open. Interact with it.

    Voila! You've entered Chapter Negative One! It's a long hall with a banana at one side and a monkey on the other. Feed it to him, and another will appear at the same spot. You can do this an endless amount of time, but you can't get out.

    If you feed the Monkey 40 times, it eats Guybrush and you end up inside the Monkey Head in SMI.
    It's one of those Easter Eggs where you can go back and visit previous games. Those are always pretty cool; like the one in CMI where you can stick your head out of a stump in the crypt and end up in the SMI forest. An also 'using' the water several times on Blood Island beach leads to Guybrush going back to the underwater scene in SMI.

    Copyright protection? They have it placed in the middle of the game as well? I thought that the one in the beginning was enough... inserting 237 correct codes in the right order then using your webcam to mimic guybrush's movements on the screen seemed good enough to me.

    ...I don't like you anymore... you just made me wish for a 4-headed puppy. Now it will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life. Or until I find that I want something else.

    Speaking of easter eggs, has anyone clicked 219 times on Stan's hat? It's really funny. I'm not giving it away, try it yourselves!

    Just finished it yesterday.
    Sure, some of the puzzles are a bit too hard, but it had it's moments.

    There were a few moment that felt over the top... For example, the Turtle Island was an quite a shock, since I never expected it to actually be a turtle the size of an island. Another example is the underwater sequence, I felt the fishpeople were a bit of a stretch, not to mention how complicated it is to complete the puzzle before you run out of air. Also, did anyone else notice that the "Call of Chlovercraft" is a reference to both Cloverfield and Cthulhu?

    I don't know how to feel about Murray joining the crew. I mean, it was an interesting twist, but gathering all his bones is pretty tedious. Heck, before finding the jumping beans, I tried stealing Murray's stupid ribcage at least four times, but the darn poodles got me every time. I mean, jumping beans? The voodoo lady didn't say anything about those. On the other hand using Murray's toes to win the Insult Dominoes Challenge? Briliant!

    Oh, and I really really love every time Guybrush puts on the fake muttonchops and turns into "Ezekiel Threepwood, Mighty Shepherd". Whoever decided to hire Samuel L. Jackson to do his lines must get a promotion.

    EDIT:

    Haaaaaaahahahah! Jumping Jehosaphat! He's bold!

    I didn't like how they how they made fun off other video game developers. I cried seeing a yellow puffball resembling Kirby hanging from a noose. Aren't the days of the anger of the Nintendo vs. Sega days over, or are they just taking a new forum? All I know is that Telltale probably had to pay through the nose to get ToMI onto Wiiware for the mistake Lucas Arts made.

    Also, Murry the talking skull was funny, but does anyone else feel they over did it with his family? Sally the Demonic Talking Spleen(tm)? Come on!

    Also, you can actually die 25 different ways, and not like the fake death in CoMI. You literally can't continue anymore, like in the new Punch-out: Mac's last stand. You have to re-install the game just to try again. And you can't skip the cut scenes!

    The part where Guybrush violated the rhinocerous was a little overboard. I guess Lucasarts shouldn't have teamed up with the guys who made Box Office Bust to make this game.

    Plus they really shouldn't have sued Ron Gilbert for trying to give some input to the game.

    That's a gross oversimplification of the situation. I think all reasonable people can agree that Ron broke some boundaries on that one.

    Yeah, he did try to make the game actually playable, but I guess LucasArts wanted to go on a different direction.

    I'm fairly sure that what they are referencing is the Incident involving Gilbert, Lucas and the excruciatingly slow Death trap consisting of a winch, 7 Chinhillas carrying voodoo powered chainsaws and a barrel of Salt, that lead to Lucas agreeing not to reveal the Secret of Monkey island.

    To be fair, the "voodoo-power" was just plain ol' gasoline, "just for chainsaws".

    I heard a rumour that Ron sometimes cries at night, holding the first copies of SMI and LR close to his chest, while burning MI3, MI4 and MI5 in his fireplace at home.

    It's alright Silverwolfpet. You're not alone... We'll get through this together. Monkey Island 5 can't hurt you anymore.
  • edited July 2009
    I still can't place if it was a poorly designed puzzle or a glitch when the tentacle swallowed Guybrush and you had to press ctrl+alt+del to crash the game 5 times before you could carry on with the game.

    Can anyone explain why Jar Jar Binks suddenly appears in chapter 3, once you arrive at Monkey Island?

    Well, you might have heard the "Secret of the Manatee King" theory, which is crap.
    Apparently, Lucas had a huge surplus of Jar Jar Action figures that no one would buy. So, he added the character in the last minute, hoping it would raise sales.

    I guess that's part of the secret.
  • edited July 2009
    What a stupid way to promote something... At least if they animated Jar-Jar, but noooo... they scanned the action figure and just placed it there. At least they got the actor who did Jar-Jar as the voice. I didn't like it, though, that they used the same actor to voice Elaine's mother.
    That's just...wrong!

    Guybrush summons him in the end credits sequence of Escape from Monkey Island.
