Pirate: You make me want to puke.

Guybrush: You make me think somebody already did.

Priceless

Pirate: Guybrush Threepwood? That's the stupidest name I've
ever heard!

Guybrush: So what's your name?

Pirate: My name is Mancomb Seepgood.

Day Of The Tentacle

Laverne: This is all your fault Bernard.

Dr. Fred: Behold, children! The Chron-O-John!

Hoagie: Doc, can't you just send Bernard?

Dr. Fred: No, you must all go to increase the odds that one
of you will make it there alive.

Bernard: Has any people even been hurt in this thing?

Dr. Fred: Of course not! This is the first time, I never
tried it on people.

i loved that game.
dug out the cd-rom & tired it on one of my more recent
computers.. just crashed. don't think the game can keep up
with the machine anymore. :(
any tips?

I think DOTT was rereleased budget a couple of years ago...
maybe they've updated the drivers and shit. If not, just
wait for DOTT2, which I think is in production, along with
Sam and Max 2.

Guys:

ScummVM is a kind of emulator for these games. If you
use it you can run them all really well on newer machines,
with sound and everything (normally you'd have problems with
sound because they are DOS). It doesn't come with any games
(although you can get Beneath a Steel Sky for free off that
site) but if you have the original you can copy the files
over and load them up in that program, or just download them
from somewhere... they aren't hard to find.

30mins and got all 3 of us busted and now I can't get out

Grim Fandango is the greatest piece of Multimedia ever
produced.

(Monkey Island is still the lovelyness though. Especially
the second one)

and it will tell you step by step how to do it

Those games taught me to never use "walkthroughs" they kinda
spoil the game.

Very funny all the same

i haven't really played the game much, but i know that it is
good.. since it's made by Lucas Arts..
i heard that Sam & Max 2 was cancelled..
..but if they do make Day of the Tentacle 2, i will
probably be able to say that i shat my pants after
substantiation.

This is the worst news I have ever heard. The only thing
that could possibly happen to piss me off more now is Dan
getting evicted on Friday.

err.. whatever it is they might feel like calling it?

I really enjoyed the Sam & Max cartoon too... that was
really enjoyable, if hyperkinetic (which it was supposed to
be).

They cancelled Full Throttle 2 awhile back too, didn't they?
Such sad news. :(
