Jeeze it
...Which is why Im updating the news about nothing in particular. Well, not quite I have two semi interesting morsels for you to ruminate over, because I know that you want to read about them. And you know that you want to read about them. And I know that you know that you want to read about them.
Firstly its Talk Like A Pirate Day on September 19th, the time when people make idiots out of themselves to honour the terrorists of the 18th century. Hooray! Of course I dont need to tell you what the day entails, because it is of course the social event of the year for any self-respecting Monkey Island fan, and thus you know everything about it already. Just makes sure you remember the date. September 19th mark it on your calendars.
Secondly, The SCUMM Bar is hoping to embark on a series of articles that will chase the autumn blues away. The subject? You. We want to hear from the most obsessive Monkey Island fans out there, with your Guybrush Threepwood costumes and your life-size LeChuck sculptures. We know youre around dont be shy. If you think you love Monkey Island more than anyone else, drop us an e-mail and we may very well do a whole feature on you and your life. It helps if you direct your obsessiveness to something constructive, something that you can share with other fans, so that we can go hey, Im not the only one who thinks this game is better than sex!, but even if you just generally love the games, we still want to hear what you have to say.
Hopefully well get a decent gaggle together, and around Christmas we can host a poll, when the public can decide whos the biggest Monkey Island fan of the year. We may even throw in a prize. We may even make it an annual do. Who knows? Well just have to wait and see.
At the start of this post I said that I had two pieces of information, but during the writing of this monstrosity I remembered a third. The DVD fat cats have decided to try and squeeze every penny from Pirate fans by issuing a new version of the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD. Its exactly the same as before, but hey! Guess what! It has AN EXTRA DVD! Whats on this bonus disc? Who knows!
Well keep you posted.
