Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge sampler finished!
The Monkey Island 2 sampler is finished, and I think it turned out pretty nice! The whole thing is on fabric that measures 15" high by 18" wide, and I started posting progress on 9/23/12. It was finished on 10/11/12.

LucasArts game sampler, finished!
The LucasArts sampler is finished!! And now framed and I hope I never have to get it out, because framing it was a bigger PITA than it should have been.

On to the pix!Collapse )

Tales of Monkey Island icons
I've got some ToMI icons up over here, as well as a few other things in an icon roundup. The ToMI icons include art from the custom tarot deck.

Art.
Fairly new to the Monkey Island fandom, and just found this community last week. I was kinda sad that the posts had begun to taper off, though. :(

Here's a quick sketch of Stan and Guybrush. I think they said something like this in Curse of Monkey Island at one point, after Guybrush had purchased life insurance.

Tales of Monkey Island
Chapter 3 is the best yet. Not because a certain character returns (though I know many people will be thrilled about it), but because this has some of the most inventive puzzles. No more insult swordfighting, yay! (That was fun the first time, not so much afterward.) But really good puzzles and genuine laugh-out-loud moments throughout. Two hooks up!

I can't believe nobody has posted to this journal about the Tales games and remastered SMI... what does everyone think?

More Monkey Madness: A Monkey Island Remix Fanmix
The third of this year's Monkey Island fanmixes!

This is a collection of fan music for the Monkey Island series of games. Some of these may no longer be available on the web. All told, you've got 33 (count 'em) 33 individual MI fan tracks from different artists!

Because almost all of these are instrumental, lyric samples would be pointless, so instead I'll do mini-reviews of each track. All tracks with artist listed as "unknown" are just that - the copies I have do not list artist information. If anyone knows an artist on an "unknown", please let me know!

Bigger art and tracklisting and reviews are all at my LJ, under the fake cut!

Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is out!
We downloaded it on XBox Live last night and I got about an hour of play in. Hotswapping between classic and updated modes is a hoot!

THE SKY TIDES: A PANFANDOM STEAMPUNK AIRSHIP AU RPG

BERJAYA

It's an age of piracy like you've never seen it before.

On the floating continent of Reial, tensions run high as two opposing countries stand on the verge of war. To the west, there's Vohemar, a land that supports so few laws that it's made a nation of cutthroats and scoundrels. To the east, there's Ivona, a refined country that remains a leader in production and technology, yet the corruption here reaches deeper than most can imagine. Some choose not to pick a side at all, and either help or hinder either side depending on their whims.

Choose a ship, declare your loyalty, and fight alongside your crew to make your dreams a reality.


BERJAYAtheskytides: A multifandom AU game focused around airships, with a steampunk setting. Completely remade from its previous version. We now have a brand new ship with most positions available!

Best Shop Evarrr...
Yo ho ho and a Merry Christmas to all ye scurvy sea dogs! I hope the rum be plentiful.

Just thought I'd send a heads-up for y'all to see the amazing treasure trove I dug up while I roamed the nets in search of nautical delights to spend me post-Christmas pieces of eight on...they have everything I've always wanted to turn my life into a veritable feast of all that's nautical!

I can't be the only one who dreams of living just like Guybrush?

SHANTY TIME!
Avast me hearties!

It be past the hour of the damned and I'm damned to waking...

Away from the rhythmic rocking of the sea, I'm finding it hard settle and sleep. My mind is tossing like a shipwreck in monsoon season! It's turning like Davy Jones in his watery grave! It's turbulent like a storm a-brewing...

In my hyperactive insomniac state, I tried to think of what might soothe the savage beast that is my mind, and it came to me like an answer from Poseidon himself - a good sea shanty!

Thus I ask thee, fellow seafarers, if one of you could send* me a shanty to lull me to sleep like the lap of the waves against the pirate ship's sides...even a good rousing shanty!

There's gold to be had! ARRRR

Best Food for Playing?
Ok people in your opinion, what would be the ideal food to eat while playing Monkey Island? I have booked a week off work to relive the glory days with my younger bro, starting with Monkey3 as that's the one I've played least recently. And I thought it would be cool to stock up on appropriately Monkey-like and Carribean-like nourishment to fortify us through this time of puzzlement.

But really I think everyone could enhance their lives by co-ordinating their diet with their gaming. So this list is to benefit everyone who wants to keep the dream alive!

I am vegan but it's worth suggesting things of all food groups as my bro is not plus half the people reading this probably only live off flesh so it's worth covering all bases.


I was thinking along these lines so far:

Mango
Pineapple
Coconut slices
Coconut Milk
Lemonade (little Faulmouth sells it in Monkey3)
Roast chicken
Gobstoppers (one of the barbers has one)
Good soup (which would be what?)
Cheese Fondue


what other ideas do people have? Doesn't have to be things that are in the game, just that would capture the vibe of it and complement playing!
