Monkey Island III: The Curse of Monkey Island - A lot of MI fans, myself included, have never considered this on par with the first two, but personally I still found it extremely enjoyable to play. I consider it The Return of the Jedi of the Monkey Islands.

 


Maybe it's the fact that this was my first Monkey Island game, but I still love this one. While the gameplay/puzzles weren't as good as the first two, I actually thought the humor was better. Then again, that might just be because of the fact that the spoken dialogue made it a lot snappier.

Also, speaking of those special editions, you can actually switch back and forth between the original version and the new one on the fly as you like. In fact, when the first one came out people were disappointed that you couldn't mix and match (i.e. play it with the old graphics but with voice-overs), so in MI2 they made it so you could do just that. I think it might be my favorite way to play.

Where does your screen name come from?

I quite literally typed in the first thing that popped into my head. This was my very first forum, and I didn't quite know how they worked at the time. As I was registering there was a blank for Nickname, and I assumed that it was just a goofy little bit of extra info, and I would get to choose my screen name later (not sure why I thought that). So when I first looked down at the nickname box, my first thought was:

"THEY CALL ME NANNER SPLIT"

Kept it ever since.

The Power Rangers movie. I watched it on Netflix instant purely for nostalgia and was pleasantly surprised. It was consistently laughably awful. It is a must watch.

10 balls out of 10


You're not old enough to experience nostalgia.


How old does one have to be before he is allowed to experience nostalgia? :P

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tx-TeD6ZbY

It began when they come took me from my home
And put me in Dead Row,
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know.
And I'll say it again
I.. am.. not.. afraid.. to.. die.

I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All things either good or ungood.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

Interpret signs and catalogue
A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog.
The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind.
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath gathering at my hind

I hear stories from the chamber
How Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
Died upon the cross
And might I say, it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told

Like my good hand
tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist
That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist.

In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of his Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
Down here it's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away.

Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
So I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.

My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
'Tis a long-suffering shackle
Collaring all that devil blood.

And the mercy seat is a-burning
And I think my head is flowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this weighing up of truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway, there was no proof
And nor a motive why.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
A life for a life
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
And I'm not afraid to die.

Now the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
A eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
A eye for a eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm not afraid to lie.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.

Ah, but I am one of those douchebags who use a Mac so I won't be able to open that .exe file. Though if you are lucky, receiving such a titillatingly named file in my email and being unable to open it might make me very sad and sexually frustrated at the same time.


Fun fact: A friend of mine was an IT guy last year, and he said there was a virus going around because there really was a file called PornPics.exe that people were opening.
