    Looking forward to it!
    Does your avatar have to to anything with it too? The chrachter in your avatar looks very interesting to me ... is he a pixelated games enthusiast? what's up with his hair?

    Oooooooh! This looks interesting. I'll definitely be reading.

    Rick Rocket reappearing?

    It always bothered me how in 305 you were credited as Majus Fietzek instead of Marius after I watched the credits so many times.

    Oh, THAT guy? No, he's not that much into gaming.
    Rick Rocket reappearing?
    Rick Rocket? I hope he will return some day for sure. But for now, let's concentrate on new characters!

    Awesome! Good luck with the series, dude! Looks brilliant!

    I wonder what it is about...hmmm... Let's start speculating! It's about a dude!

    Who jumps off and says: "OMG! SWP! You're a mod now?"

    I think it's about a neo-noir detective with a passion for classic adventure gaming ...

    I swear, SWP is a mod now too? I FEEL SO ALONE.

    SWP as a mod before me does not bother me. I would hope it would be so. Everyone else though... These are my tears.

    The goal is to have more mods then users... that way we can all take turns moderating Steven's posts.

    Also good luck with your comic Majus.... I bet its a biting commentary on drug use in a European suburb... OR its a man who has been genetically altered with the DNA of a rocket.

    I dare you!

    No! No I don't! I do not dare you! *cowers*
    (And Irish is a mod too? This I saw coming as well. Me next!)

    But I saw the comic picture above on Facebook and nearly died. But I didn't. All good.

    D***! I did that "else I'll ban you joke" 13 minutes ago and it felt great!

    ...and, yes, there is a massive mod increase. Alas! The community is saved.

    I REALLY want to know how the picture gave you that idea. :)

    He was spot on, eh? Maybe you should change the picture to something a bit more subtle.

    Well, technically, alcohol is a drug and a bomb signifies social explosivity...ness...ish... blah.

    LOL it was more of a pun on the title and its connection to the song Rocket man by Elton John.

    OK, seriously, how did you find out that Reeves is actually a cat??
    Great, now we have to can all the lasagna-jokes.

    That's why I never post teasers!

    Last time, people figured out my phone number. Now every single night I get messages from a guy named "kinkyeskimo89"

    Dont judge man... I imagine it gets pretty cold and lonely in those igloos.

    Heh, I'm sure Majus would not taunt us so cruelly.

    Aah no worries, I am not a big fan of April Fools' pranks... stupid pranks always get me mumrblmrblrm.

    I chose the date because of that thing that started it all, exactly five years ago: releasing that Monkey Island radio-play, which became the basis of the flash movie a year later.
    Link to the german webpage that released it on April 1st 2006. The prank there was that we said we found the lost, official radio plays of Zak McKracken and Monkey Island, that were supposed to be delivered with the game (like Lucasfilm Games did with Loom). Wasnt really a prank, we just had to come up with something, since it was April 1st.

    Also, one year later on April 1st I announced the Monkey Island flash movie (link, also german).

    Hope that makes Rocketmen April-Fools-prank-FREE for you guys! :)
    (Also hope it frees me from all the other pranks that day...)

    I killed a man on April 1... He didn't get the joke.

    Oh. And if this is fake, I'll have to change my story....
    "I killed two men on April 1... The first didn't get the joke. The second played the cruellest prank EVER! *weep*

    Errmmm... Majus?? Is that, by any chance, a self-portrait?? :D
  • edited March 2011
    ^ :D it does look like him ... maybe the guy in the previous teaser also resembles Peter Clausen ...
  • edited March 2011
    Hah, I wish could have such hair. :p
  • edited March 2011
    Why not? your hair is pretty much un-style-able (which is now officially an adjective) like my hair, but you can use hair gel or something ...

    I love the way these posters are slowly panning out to build up the scene. Very nice!

    Next had better be Guybrush from IWWH.
