Some news requires no comment, other than: w00t.
Here's Tim humbly suggesting that you pre-order from GOG:
One last cool thing: apparently Tim had the original demo of the game (a PC Magazine exclusive) remastered as well because it featured unique dialog not heard in the shipped game, and Tim wanted all of Roy Conrad's lines preserved in high quality. Pretty rad.

Sad realization: This might very well be the last new release we'll ever see concerning the old Lucas adventure franchises.
I doubt that, but probably the last one involving Double Fine.
I don't really see who else will step up. Telltale won't, not at this point, Lucasarts doesn't exist anymore and Disney closed their own inhouse game studio a while ago (and I don't think they'd jump to the adventure games in any case).
I can see Double Fine doing another remake if they can get the original designers involved (several would be willing to play ball), or maybe even (dreaming big) a sequel to Monkey Island with Ron returning to Double Fine for a bit. But that's a big if - I have no idea how well the remakes of Grim and Dott did.

Good realization: We'll all be playing a Full Throttle in a couple of weeks.
