"I suck at adventure games," says leading adventure game developer 28 Mar, 2006 / Comments: 7

By Remi


Once upon a time there was a web site called The SCUMM Bar which had a bunch of Monkey Island related stuff on it. It was kind of sweet, but then Gabez decided to close it down. Apparently there weren't enough goths reading it or something, I can't quite remember.

Anyway! Just before it closed, and we're talking about a day before or something, an ex-LucasArts employee sent me this "Escape from Monkey Island pizza orgy questionnaire" he filled out. The pizza orgies are where other LucasArts employees can chime in on fairly early playable builds of upcoming games. Or so I think, please correct me if I'm wrong. It's worth a read anyway, so make sure to check it out.

    "What is my favorite Sam and Max game?" Damn, it still hurts after all this time.

    Indeed it does. As does watching the LucasArt's 20th anniversary video. I was there to see it at E3 that year. It makes me incredibly sad thinking about it.

    Hee, I forgot about the goths. What did I say about them again?

    Also, is it just me or is there a password to this because it's reserved by Bill Tiller?

    I quote:
    I was semi-serious about that last one, actually. I liked Monkey Island before all the f**king Goths ruined it by liking it too. I guess I'm attracted to stuff that isn't known so much and therefore spoilt.
    That we still had readers after that is amazing. :~

    Hahaha, that's so funny... I had no idea I wrote that. Do Goths even like Monkey Island?

    I still think that by and large the "Goths" are idiots, but then that is a huge generisation and I'm probably an idiot.

    Also, heh, I wasn't aware that I said I'd gone off Monkey Island. I guess I was joking!
