    I don't care much about those Youtube videos, but in Curse Murray was one of the best new characters.

    Which was completely pointless. There were few cheap jokes, but I felt that Murray was only there because fans liked the character and he didn't really have any actual role in the game.

    I don't think he felt forced though, I thought it was funny to see him ended up pitching planet threepwood . I enjoyed it.

    He was just a cameo, cameos have been around forever, its no sin. Murray had a big enough part in the last game, why not just rename the series to GuyBrush and Murray....I think it was fine the way it was.

    Murray alerts me to any text I receive. Legendary!

    "If you value your life, mere mortals; you will flee before Murray! Scurge of the living, and überskull of the underworld! Muahahahahahaha!"

    Oh my. I can see I'm going to be listening to this over and over. The "uh huh" from Guybrush is hilarious as the volume increases and Murray keeps repeating himself.

    There's no need to take sarcastic tone, if I don't share your opinion. I don't think that he should have had large role, but all other regulars, like Voodoo Lady, Stan and Otis, had some purpose in the game. I just think that it would have been nice if Murray would have been part of some problem.

    When you phrased it like that "part of some problem " I couldn't agree more. :) Sorry for my tone, I know as much as talking to others, social skills as a bear.

    I just thought that you wanted Murray to be a pivotal part of the game as he was in Mi-3 and I strongly disagreed.

    It would be cool to have Murry in your inventory even if only briefly.... Imagine him spouting muffled random insults until you let him go.

    It seems that we had misunderstanding, while I like seeing old familiar characters in new games, I think that Guybrush, Elaine and LeChuck should get most attention. From secondary characters I would love to see Voodoo Lady and Stan. Others aren't really that important.

    I seem to recall reading somewhere, PC Gamer maybe, that Murray wasn't even meant to be a major character. He was intended only for the beginning segment when Guybrush blew him up, but when the demo was released there was such a positive reaction for the character his role was expanded. His popularity clearly knows no bounds, since no one seems to think a new game would be complete without him.

    It'd be fun to have an episode where you carried Murray around like the head of the Navigator from the first game. Then you could have little chats with him at any time and he could comment on the goings on in the game. Kind of like Floyd the Robot.

    I always felt bad for the little guy when Guybrush dumped him at the Carnival..Right when he was starting to be useful.

    Haha the anchor is so much more useful though.

    I bet you could easily have convinced him to take the place of the anchor.
    It is an EVIL plan after all ; P
    He probably would have regreted it afterwards;).
