Tales of Monkey Island
The Siege of Spinner Cay

The second episode is almost here! Frighteningly few days remain until the next chapter is out of our hands and into yours.

What will happen? Who can tell! Maybe you? Post your thoughts here.

Avoid discussion of spoilers!
If you know what happens in the game and aren't supposed to talk about it yet (eg if you are a reviewer or have a preview copy, or if you've seen leaked content anywhere), don't ruin it for everyone else.

While you wait, here are some screenshots, and Majus' totally accurate Flash cartoon depicting the events of the game to the most precise detail.

See you guys in a few days!

Bonus update! Check out the gameplay video!

    Awesome! I might get it for PC now, depending on if the Wii version has improved or not. I'm getting it either way!

    I don't think I'm going to post here for like five days.

    Does that mean avoid discussion now or also when Episode 2 comes out?

    Or is that avoid discussion of spoilers about Monkey Island 5 or Monkey Island 6? Or not even Monkey Island at all but a different game?

    Do I smell a loophole?

    Same here. I just couldn't tolerate not knowing any longer, and I don't regret seeing it. How'd that guy get the game anyways?

    I think he must be a reviewer, or knows someone who is.

    It's on youtube, but be warned, it shows who is the person that threatened guybrush at the end of chapter 1, so watch at your own risk of spoiling it for yourself.
  • edited August 2009
    Since it's just the very beginning and nothing else it still doesn't really spoil it for me, it makes me anticipate it a little more, actually, heh.

    Very nice Jack! Some great looking screenshots.

    Hello, this is GBTW's ghost (LOL)

    Let me answer, at least.
    GBTW is banned for a week until 22nd august.

    I only found that cutscene intro by searching using the Youtube engine search.
    I'm NOT the poster of that video and I don't have anything about it.

    You should thank me, not ban me, I showed you that on Youtube someone posted something he/she should not have.
    ;)
    Many people also liked to have seen this intro, anyway, I hope someone is happier, like I was when I watched it. :)

    You should ask that person to remove that video from Youtube, why is it still there viewable by everyone????
    Tell me why????

    I'm innocent.

    Banning GBTW is useless, I'm a private customer, a future buyer of the series, I hope, and I'm not under any "embargo", as you call it.
    ;)

    By the way, GBTW stands for GuyBrush ThreepWood, LoL!
    :D

    I hope you have that video removed from Youtube, then.
    You can do so by registering and then click on "FLAG" (Report video as inappropriate) or maybe contacting directly Youtube's responsibles, I don't know, I'm not a business.

    Bye.

    hahahhahaha, best video ever :)

    You should consider hiring Majus because despite lack of good graphic, it was really really funny. I think there is another Monkey Island video floating around in youtube too made by this person. :)

    If anyone posts the link they will get banned.

    No problemo, I found it right after I posted.

    Cripes. I very nearly posted it in response to someone else last night, but ended up not doing after I noticed the original thread had been deleted.
  • edited August 2009
    I almost did the same thing. I really wish Jake had given us a heads up when he deleted that, like saying he didn't want that link getting around or whatever.
  • edited August 2009
    WOAH... I heard secrets can kill... but telling secrets can get banned. 0_0 I'll remember that. I still can't wait till the 2nd chapter comes out. :D I'm really hyped about it, even by seeing a pic of the beginning (By accident >_< Was looking for Majus's 2nd flash for Tales of Monkey Island on Youtube)
  • edited August 2009
    I'm guessing the 20th is the PC release only... Is there an estimate of when it'll be on WiiWare? Or will they be released simultaneously this time?

    I think that the banning thing was made up or exaggerated. We temporarily suspended one person's account because we mistakenly thought they were the reviewer who leaked the video. We won't ban you for posting the link; I probably will delete posts to the link if anyone posts it, though. We're not excited that that video got uploaded. We put a lot of work into the story for this game and a big part of the fun (for you and for us) is the anticipation and speculation between episodes. If anyone wants to spoil the opening of the game and stuff for themselves, that's their choice, but what I want to avoid is shoving the link in peoples faces who don't want it.

    The 20th is the PC date. I don't know for certain when WiiWare will be out. As always we're aiming to have it come out as close as possible to the PC version, but whether that is measured in days or weeks is a little bit of a roll of the dice depending on how bugs, certification, and scheduling come together. It could be a glorious harmonious love-in of rapid deployment, or... the opposite of that :) We will hopefully know soon though, and of course, as always, you guys are the first ones we tell, via the blog.

    I appreciate this, Jake. Although I didn't watch the video, the person who posted the link the first time around revealed who the person holding the sword up to Guybrush was without spoiler tags. A bit miffed too say the least. I think whoever watches said video is simply spoiling a surprise. Only four days to go!

    Wow... That was quick. :) Thanks!

    We can wait a few weeks more if it means you can iron out some of Narhwal's kinks...

    i'm actually glad that the second episodes opening was leaked... it's nothing more surprising then the fact that lechuck was turned into a human at the beginning of episode one and telltale ruined that surprise nearly a month before the release of episode one of i remember correctly
  • edited August 2009
    I am pretty sure that in this episode, Guybrush will transform into Rock n' Guybrush and play pirate inspired heavy metal. Who's with me?
  • edited August 2009
    Can't wait for Chapter 2, and I haven't seen the leaked video and I'm not so bothered cause I will find out in 4 days so it's fine. I can wait that long lol. :)
    Hoping it will be as good as Chapter 1 and hope for more twists and turns in the story.

    And soon it will only be 3 days! :D I'm so glad that my boss let me have the day off on the same day chapter 2 will be released for the PC. I'm going to spend my whole day playing it, lol.

    Heh, thank god I missed the video leak. I'd of been tempted to see it (bad me!).

    3(well 4 for me) days to go :D

    Man, I love your quote! Is this Guybrush accusation your own?

    At least it'll make it less time between episode 2 & 3!

    Yeah, Guybrush can be the guitarist/vocalist and Van Windslow can play bass, but he'll need a drummer! Maybe Tommy Lee can be his third Crüe member?

    IGN has said that chapter 3 will be released on September 9th and
    chapter 4 on October 14th. Is this true?

    Hello! I'm back!
    That was too much for a spoiler :D
    I didn't know.
    It's alright now.

    Now I asked them if a demo of Episode 2 will be released, as well.
    Fingers crossed.

    :D

    Is this LeFlay character a returning character from MI1-4 or a totally new character to the series?

    A yes or no answer will suffice. I'm not asking for the name or anything.

    Yes.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    By a YES or NO answer I mean:

    YES = its a returning character.
    NO = its a new character.

    :cool:
