Little things that you really liked (spoilers)

- The little snippets of song that the captain of the ship was singing to himself. Catchy!

- The clip of the scorpion stinging the voodoo doll at the Voodoo Lady's house.

- The chest of foreshadowing, and the closet with the Unmentionables inside, also at the Voodoo Lady's house.

- LeChuck's "Har har haarrr" laugh at the end of the credits.

    - The way the camera zooms out to reveal the map
    - Birds flying away when you move near them

    I loved the Cheese/Wallace fist bit. A real LOL for me!
    The pseudo erotic solution to the axle-less idol was strangely stimulating :rolleyes:

    -The way the names of items would sometimes change if you examined them one or more times (It wasn't just the Voodoo Shack. Check the rowboat in town).

    -The Wallace bit was great too.

    Wallace?

    Wallace and Gromit, characters who have also made their way into Telltale. Wallace loves cheese, and has a habit of waving his hands in front of him when he's happy. Guybrush does this when you imprint the cheese.

    - When you check the closet and this pop up text calls it the scariest closet in the world.
    - when you distract the glass blower to get the unbreakable glass smashing thing
    - I cant remember the word right now, but he uses a word which is used by the glass blower instead of bum
    - when you try to point at the map to tell your navagator what island to goto
    - the mention of the rubber chicken

    HAHA thats the one.. when guybrush mentions it later in the game I laughed out so hard. I dont think a game has made me laugh so much. Brilliance!

    HAhaha when guybrush is told he is full of pirate spunk!! And he responds with "eughhh"

    - The smug look on guybrushes face when he walks away from the courthouse, saying that it's as well they arn't open, as he will probably break the law anyway.

    - As he says "that's the reason I'm doing these obscure gestes?" (or something) in the voodoo ladys house, he does that thing when the thumb touches your nose, and your fingers move.

    It's just something really awesome about the timing in these two instances.

    - the Voodoo Lady's "...like a volcano!" comment, and Guybrush going all "lalalalalalalalala" during her story, hahaha
    - basically everything about de Singe, that guy is hilarious
    - Guybrush blindfolded, all the screams and comments while he's in the pirate club
    - the masochistic monkey

    The more I think about it, there's very few things that I didn't like :p

    It does, and it even means exactly what the game suggests.

    However, to my knowledge, it's far from being a common word in English (unlike the word "fundamental", which is quite a bit more common).

    Also, I loved pretty much everything that has already been mentioned in this thread, so yeah.

    - LeChuck (I think) calling Guybrush: "Geekwood". I laughed for 5 minutes on this, don't know why (maybe because it was so late but hey).

    - The fact that you can destroy the U-Tube !

    - Guybrush's dance move :p

    That the design of the seagulls on Flotsam seemed to be reminiscent of the seagulls in the original Monkey Island games. (herring, anyone? ;) ) So cute!

    i laughed at the changing names for how useless the boat with the hole in it is. i also laughed at the porcelain reference and guybrush going to his happy place. haven't gotten much further yet.

    - The not-so-subtle reference to the Evil Dead 2 movie's "posessed hand" sequence.

    - If you try to stick the weather vain into the "messed up idol" with De Seinge in it, Guybrush says "I don't think he has the necessary... er... slot configuration".

    - Love the U Tube

    Some of my favorite bits, aside from the lovely artwork, character animation, and wind/rain effects:

    Guybrush looks at the socks on the clothesline, and says, "That sock needs a good darning... Darn you, sock!"

    The Chest of Foreshadowing in the Voodoo Lady's shack. Guybrush even goes so far as to comment that he won't be opening it "in this episode".

    Some of Elaine's lines at the beginning of the episode, when Guybrush attempts to talk to her. "You can tell me over dinner, AFTER you've killed LeChuck!"

    Asks D'Oro, "So can I call you D'Oro the Explorer?" and promptly gets punched by his cursed hand.


    Cheeese    . (He even grins the way Wallace does when he says that line!)

    - that D'Or bought the Ninja Dave map off a guy "in a plaid jacket with waving arms."

    - the shape of the hole in the rowing boat.

    - Guybrush's nostalgia for Melee Island jail cells.

    I loved how the demonic hand was constantly twitching, and the couple of times when Guybrush turned and talked to the camera.

    I also really like Ron Gilbert's title in the credits! :D

    I must say that HAND, make me laugh, they can really make some fun moments with that in the future haha, and that pirate AWWWW my nose! lol.

    -When Guybrush is trying to snap just before the title screen; and it punches him for the first time.
    -The Vodoo Lady finale "like a volcano!" while Guybrush is trying not to hear about her love life.

    -When you use the U-tube on someone Guybrush states "I don't think they would find my U-Tube offering amusing" or something along those lines. Hilarious.

    Yeah, when they first showed the seagull picking at Guybrush's hair during the opening credits, I immediately thought of the LOOM(TM) seagull that appears in so many classic LucasArts games.

    The stare Guybrush gives before realizing he likes the bird again after putting it in the hole.

    I really like how the Esc key pauses the game at ANY time, including during 'cutscenes', and you resume the game exactly where you left it.

    In adventure games of old, you would miss the rest of the cutscene if you press Esc.

    You know, me and my younger brother were waiting for the credits... you know what I mean, the title flashes and the best theme song in history starts up.. it happens every game, and we were itching for it when the game loaded, "Cmon! Cmon!..."

    To our surprise it didnt happen right away... then you go through the opening sequence, but you still know its coming... when the LeChuck twist happened at the end of the opening sequence I was totally floored, what a shocker ... then the credits and the theme hit us right after, double whammo! Guybrush is lost, LeChucks turned human and the themes ringing in my ears, its just too good a feeling...

    I liked the different interactions you could do in the Voodoo Lady's shack, like the machine with all the buttons.

    The blood red carpet was pretty hilarious as well.

    All the things people already said, plus:

    Right at the beginning, you have to make root beer. I thought to myself, "If I know Guybrush, he'll combine a root with beer." And sure enough, that was the solution!

    It proved right away that Telltale understood Guybrush's logic and Monkey Island's humor.

    When the Doll Collector told me Qapla! Glad they put some Star Trek stuff in the game :)

    For the non-trekkies, this is Klingon for Good Bye.

    The Marquis De Singe is a great addition to the colourful list of characters in the world of Monkey island. I loved how he pop his head in the laboratory to explain his wonderful contraptions. I also like how his white foundation was not flawless, leaving a little bit of his flesh uncovered slightly below his hairline. Hope to see more of him.

    On an unrelated note, I love the broken wind scene.

    Actually, there is only one Monkey Island game which starts with the opening credits right away: MI1. And EMI has even an interactive intro just like TMI.

    It's exactly the same size and shape as the one in CMI.

    I liked:

    - The first time you fire the cannon. (Had me laughing out loud!)
    - Every time Guybrush did something stupid, his hand slapped him.
    - The Voodoo Lady's volcano monologue.
    - The puzzles were all great too!
    - The Professor in Monkeyology.

    Whenever Guybrush danced, and his pose when he throws one of the bombs.
