Funeral of a friend: Tales of Monkey Island Ep. 5 photo

Wednesday night I went to a funeral.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a funeral. When the deceased in question was, according to long time friend Dave Grossman, "struggling with an inventory item addiction," it was more farcical than upsetting. After all, when someone tells you to dress up in black for the death of *spoilers* Guybrush Threepwood, it's pretty hard to believe that the guy is really down for the count. And that appears to be the truth.  Guybrush Threepwood isn't dead, per se. Things are a little bit more ethereal for the first portion of the fifth episode of Tales of Monkey Island: Rise of the Pirate God.

If you've come this far, I expect you are not phased by spoilers, so here it goes. Guybrush is dead, yes, but the whole initial portion of the game entails him returning to his body. Seems the formerly infected with LeChucken Pox are now cured, but LeChuck is back to his old ways. NPCs are pissed that Guybrush has returned the evil pirate to his evil glory, so his body is currently holding up a dartboard in a tavern. Two things Guybrush has to do: get his body back and stop LeChuck. Problem is, nature doesn't want him to return, since he's technically dead. Every time he gets his body back, due to an amulet, it either sends him back to the underworld, or he's killed by zombie fearing citizens. La-dee-da.

And that's pretty much all I saw, as far as the game goes. Keep an eye out when it launches for PC on December 8. As for the WiiWare version, Telltale is looking to have it released by Christmas, with the season compilation sometime early next year. I asked about a WiiWare disc compliation, and it's not officially planned, so don't expect it. A port to other consoles was, unfortunately neither confirmed or denyed, but I was promised that Telltale would be making an announcement within the next couple of weeks.

Man I just blazed right through the word spoiler. I read too fast. Good thing I don't care about spoilers, or the game for that matter. But still, damn.

Thank this useful post!
You can find DVD Movies now online due to high technology. DVD Movies online is rather cheap and have full seasons. You needn’t wait for months and you needn’t downloads for nights. Now you can order hundreds of DVD BOX SETS in few minutes.
P90X is the good Body Building Guide for family. Both women and men can excise their body everyday in home which is very comfort and easy.Spongebob is the best seller of dvd sets online.
Also Star Trek Series sell very good because its fan are not only adult, but also elder and children.
Star Trek has 5 series all are very interesting and amazing, it is why Star Trek can last for 5 series.
What I like most is Scrubs and Desperate House wife. I like these dvd box sets because it affect the real life, I feel the story and roles are real in these 2 dvd boxset. But my mom like True Blood
And Lostwhich are full of fantasy and amazing. She said she can feel very relax while watching these fantasy movies after a day heavy housework. Yes, she is right, people watch movies for full most.
My Daddy like Greys Anatomyand also Dexter, he likes comedy and he feel very happy while watch these comedy dvd box set, for example:

I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.
