We waited, then Jason flipped us all off, announcing that Flavored Nations -- Mojo's Casablanca -- will not be released. Jason's statement was simply, "Sorry." Not unlike Orson Welles and Citizen Kane 2 in other words.

Some hope is still left: "When Bad Asp! gets the Freelance Police source code leaked out. I'll slip you a copy," said the young director.

We wait with bated breath, once again saddened that Jason does not care about Mojo's greater audience.

Our favorite Mr. Pibb fan, and somewhere in the top ten of favorite Mojo updaters over the last ten years is back! That’s right, Jason’s very own indie movie (not published by Mojo) has a trailer…

Not surprisingly, I’m a Dr. Pepper man myself, but good for Jason (and American Dad) for fighting the good fight!

A year ago I was screwing around with video overlay effects for a personal project and decided I should assemble a little test scenario before diving into anything genuinely ambitious.

As a preemptive measure to ward off boredom in the editing, I chose to conduct my test in the form of a crude recreation of one of my favorite scenes from Monkey Island 3.

This isn't ordinarily something I would share, but I unwisely made a handshake IRC agreement with Zaarin to do so after he was kind enough to guide me through the treacheries of AkosView.

Maybe I could arrange to have this played at my funeral?

Remember Mojo's patron saint, Dan Pettit? Wonder what happened to him? Well, wonder no more!

You can actually buy stuff from them.

I'm really only mentioning this because they promised me a free t-shirt for doing the HTML/CSS for the design you're looking at right here. In 2005.

Lucasfilm's LucasArts page has been updated with their recent published hits such as Tiny Death Star and Angry Birds Star Wars, but also remembers (but doesn't mention that they once developed) adventure games such as Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and Full Throttle.

Oh, and Sam & Max also gets a mention via a screenshot at the bottom of the page. Except it's the same screenshot from Sam & Max Season One that was erroneously printed as a Freelance Police screenshot in the Rogue Leaders book.

I'd email LucasArts and let them know about the mistake, but I'm not sure if anyone even works there anymore.

The incorrigible Jake "Mojo" Rodkin on his Walking Dead S2 credit: "Oh man I have a credit on the game?"

Our own longtime writer, the always incorrigible eT, pulling his best Kramer impersonation just this afternoon:

  • LucasTones joined the chat room.
    LucasTones: ah fuck, Remi just hear me out
    LucasTones: it's 5600 words and I still haven't finished
    LucasTones: what the fuck happens now

Original deadline? End of 2007. We are hopeful we'll see this article in 2013!

When he's not writing amusing, Shel Silverstein-like poetry, making video games or being political, Telltale designer Dave Grossman stands in front of a camera, unbuttons that shirt, and works it.

Or his doppelgänger does, at any rate. It's an uncanny resemblance.

And making a game called Maniac Manors requires all three.

...that the LUA Bar theme from Escape from Monkey Island is the Bigfoot Party theme from Sam & Max Hit the Road.

When were you planning on telling me this? Did you think it would not be germane?

I was disencumbering my external drive when I got to the raw footage for our aggressively silly AVS Kickstarter video. I figured somebody might enjoy a few glimpses from the cutting room floor before I dispatched it all to eternity.

Ronzo is, as we all know, an established game designer. But did you know he also is a fitness guru? Neither did we, but Twitter proves our ignorance.

When people see how much weight I've lost, the first thing they say is: "Are you sick?" Nope, just four months of running twice a day.

Sage advice, Ronzo. Sage advice.
