Sep 9, 2022

It’s The Adventurer: Every week, we send an email full of news, media, and who-knows-what (we don’t) – make sure to share all the fun with your friends and loved ones!

The Editor Welcomes You

(Actually, he doesn't -- Thrik went on vacation to a Spanish island tax shelter, coincidentally on the same day the Patreon pledges came in.)

#MonkeyIslandMondayFriday

Hey, it's still going, and there's only one #MonkeyIslandMonday before the real Monkey Island Monday...

And we're still keeping spoilers to the minimum. And hey, it's still possible to talk ReMI spoiler-free, thanks to our forums. A few current threads:

How are you going to play ReMI: Speed? Hints? Spoiler-free or not? Make your voice heard!
What are your expectations for ReMI: How good will it be? What scores do you expect to see? How well will it sell? People have opinions!
The spoiler-free ReMI thread: Just that. Expect more here come September 19th.

A question right now is, of course, what time will the game be released on September 19th? Odds seem good that it will be 8 am Pacific, based on the timing of all other #MonkeyIslandMondays. A more hopeful possibility is midnight, but the patterns seem to suggest otherwise.

And if you want to follow and/or share the countdown? We got you covered.

Grog! Grog! Grog!
