Yep that's right. Grand Guru of all things LucasArts and the creator of the Mixnmojo community reaches the grand age of 20!
On behalf of everyone in the community and the staff of Mixnmojo-
Happy Birthday mate!
The actor responsible for the lead character's voice in Full Throttle, is ill. Roy Conrad played Ben in one of the greatest games ever, and it has been discovered that he is resting at home, ill with cancer.
Swordmaster, of LucasFans fame, has set up this page where you may offer support by writing any fan mail you have to Roy. I'm sure he'd love to hear from all you Throttle fans, so get writing!
Can i request something of you lot! If you are going to send us screens from EMI or spoilers etc, can u write SPOILER in the email title, and which act its from! eg:
EMI SPOILER Act3 - easter egg.
many thanks -mixnmojo team.
Another new site joins us officially today! Imuse Island opens it's doors at mixnmojo. This great site is named after the LEC Music system (imuse) and the site is a database for music from their games. But thats not all: The site offers news features and feedback, a general LEC music fan community!
Massive amounts of thanks go to 'Rum Rogerz' webmaster of the Ultimate Indiana Jones site who sent me a copy of EMI, which i recieved today, just in time for my birthday wooo! Thanks!
The Unofficial Sam & Max Website has returned from its 2 month temporary death with a large update including new information on the Surfin the Highway comic collection and some old promotional material and products from both Sam & Max Hit the Road and the animated Fox Kids cartoon. Take a look.
Every year, all the regulars from #monkey-island have a small poll type thing to answer questions to things like: "Who is the funniest person on #mi?" and "Who from #monkey-island is most likely to rule the world?" (All things of which I never win :P). Anyway, this years site is located here so go and send in your opinions! - one request though for this site - get a form set up! :)
Today we welcome another new site, this one of original content and idea. The LucasArts Voice Actors Archive opens its doors with details on a very large amount of voice actors who have worked on LEC games. You can search by name or by game, and you'll probably learn some interesting trivia along the way. Welcome!
You may have noticed some 'pop-up' advertisements recently. We do not tolerate these, and I'm doing my best to ban them. I myself have never seen one, so I dont know what that's all about, but they will be gone soon!
Not exactly LucasArts related, but for anyone who is interested in a bit of community news, my personal site has some photos from my trip down to London to meet up with Jamesh & Spaff for ECTS 2000 in early September.

Happy Halloween folks, go out there and spook some old folk into giving you candy delights, or if your british then you'll probably get an old penguin bar thats been left in the back of the cupboard, or the chese flavour crisps that no one likes.
Anyways, to celebrate this spook fest we had a little logo made up (see above) courtesy of Jake, who is having a duel celebration, because he is 20 today. So happy birthday to him as well !
LucasArts have also made their site a tad more spine chilling.. woooooo go look see. Any other spooky site decorations? let us know in the comments!
We're running a poll to see if making a WAP site is worth our while. For anyone who doesnt know WAP is Wireless Application Protocol, and basically means you can recieve mojo news on your mobile phone. Please vote and let us know!
Speaking of mobiles, Milegend has the codes to add the Monkey Island theme tune to your phone as a ringing tone.
A new Adventure Project has joined Mixnmojo. The Adventure game is a great looking project, with fantastic art work and a cool sounding story. The game will be using the SCRAMM engine (if its ever released) and i advise you go check it out. Weclome to our Community!
Yes that's right. It's time for another one of DJG's lengthy posts explaining all of the nitty gritty details of the new board. :) Anyway, here we go with the help of the trusty <li> tag:
That's all there really is too it, so with that said, enjoy the new boards! :)
As you all have noticed, the board is down.. well instead of fixing it we made a new one which is linked in with the My.Mixnmojo DB. (meaning you can always be logged in) This new board will be up within days, and fear not, for it is threaded! Apologies for the downtime.
Right in all the server confusion and moving, I clean forgot about this article! But now I've remembered, and I can present you with the 5th part of the Old Days article.
For those of you who dont know what it is or haven't read the other parts, the article covers what the early days of the online Monkey Island fan communiy were all about! This, the penultimate part, is about the Legendary site: LucasFans, run by Swrodmaster. Enjoy!
Just thought I'd update everyone with how the server problems are. Good news is that all seems to be running ok, hopefully there will be no more hiccups from now on. The only problem we had was that when they isntalled the new HD they accidentally deleted all our stuff, and restored it from a back up. Unfortunatley this back up was a week old (Grrrrrr), so any html updates and things will need to be made again, this includes hosted sites. So anyways sorry about that and Here's to everything being ok atlast.
We are now on a new hard drive meaning all the problems we were having with space are now well and truly sorted! I'm not sure if everything is working.. but if it isnt, it will soon.
The new hard drive means we can bash out all our new sections, new sites and get the downlaods up for y'all. Hooray
As of Friday The Thirteenth, the EMI Soundtrack Petition is over. It closed with a total of 965 signatures. Do you think that will be good enough to convince LEC to make an EMI soundtrack? Voice your opinion in the poll!
