The Adventurer - Issue #6

www.theadventurer.news

Six! Like the upcoming Monkey Island. 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 Doesn't Welcome You

Look, he would, I'm sure, but Thrik is a busy man. People to see, hands to shake, that kind of thing. But, welcome all the same!

He has such a welcoming scowl, too.

Week in Review

Another slow one, but we did learn that Psychonauts 2 stands are Double Fine's best-selling game. Which is deserved -- it's a great game.

Elsewhere, Ron and Dave chatted with GamesBeat. And again, no real new information, but always worth a read regardless.

Things I never thought I'd say again: Our forums are hopping! 1,200 posts in our ReMI thread is just the tip of the iceberg. Go banter!

Poll of The Week

We took to our subsidiary The SCUMM Bar's Twitter and asked how many times the public had played each game. Here's how it panned out:

The Secret of Monkey Island

  • 1-3: 28.7%

  • 4-8: 37.1%

  • 9-14: 11.4%

  • 15+: 22.8%

  • 4-8: 33.6%

  • 9-14: 16%

Escape from Monkey Island

  • 1-3: 69.7%

  • 4-8: 24.8%

  • 9-14: 0.9%

  • 15+: 4.6%

  • 1-3: 80.7%

Edutainment!

Grog! Grog! Grog!

elTee, Mojo’s resident mixologist, once again raids his liquor cabinet fridge. This time: The Pathfinder-Chico.

  • 2 oz The Pathfinder non-alcoholic spirit

  • 1 bottle Top-Chico, lime flavored

In a Collins glass filled with ice, pour Pathfinder, then Topo-Chico. Give a good stir. Tastes like a Pimm's Cup!

Multimedia

Yet another excellent take on the ReMI trailer music. This one is very different.

Last Week's Mojole Solutions

  • 13 May: “danjr” – In CMI, the sign pointing to Danjer/Danger Cove, spells it Danjr. Also, if DJG had a kid, he could possibly have named him Dan, Jr.

  • 14 May: “mitwo” – Common abbreviation for Monkey Island 2, just with letters -- this is basic stuff, people!

  • 15 May: “kevin” – … Bruner, former Telltale honcho. It did not end well.

  • 16 May: “peter” – … Hawley, former Telltale honcho. It REALLY did not end well.

  • 17 May: “peaks” – Twin Peaks -- a show that highly influenced Ron.

  • 18 May: “cdrom” – You probably own many LucasArts games on CD-ROM.

  • 19 May: “meche” – Aka Mercedes Colomar in Grim Fandango.
