It's been, what, one and a half years since my last update?

Anyway, schools has been over for a while now.. was in Bulgaria with nine other friends not too long ago. I must say, it can get pretty crazy down there. Only a couple of days until my town's rock festival, Malakoff Rockfestival, begins. Really looking forward to it. Big names like Kaizers Orchestra, Turbonegro, Motorpsycho and many more... going to be sick. The festival is in the little town knows as Nordfjordeid, and is on the west coast of Norway. Be-a-utiful place, actually.

Since the last update, I've started my own deviantART page. Although...I haven't worked too much on my art this year. But if you want to check it out, go ahead. I actually found an old Gamespot friend on the site, and he's got some pretty cool stuff going on. Check it out here: Linkydoodle.

Due to the lack of games that have come out, I started playing some old adventure klassiks such as Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlandis, Sam & Max Hit the Road, The Secret of Monkey Island™, Monkey Island™ 2: LeChuck's Revenge™ and The Curse of Monkey Island™. These games are filled to the brim with awesome, and I just can't get enough of them! I tested out the special edition of Monkey 1, but it's just not the same... AT ALL. There's just something about pixels and pixel art. It's just plain awesome. But Monkey Island 3™'s $tyle was also great! The art, animation, was great! Just imagine what they could do with today's technology! That was back in '97. Broken Sword was also a fantastic point and click game. It's a real shame that we won't be seeing more of point and click adventures... They were the best. I tried Tales of Monkey Island, but it's just not the same. But I can't wait for Tim Schafer's Brütal Legend! Looks siiiick! Oh, and I wonder whatever happened to Ron Gilbert's (one of the famed LucasArts men behind Monkey Island) new project: Death Spank. Described as "Monkey Island™ meets Diablo"... yes, please!

Other than that, there isn't really that much to say. Starting my last year of high school soon... going to rock, I guess. This year it's my turn to be a russ!

Cheers

Welcome back!

I thought the Special Edition of Monkey Island looked better than the original style. Besides, you can always put it back to the classic graphics.

Thanks! The Special Edition is neat. And I hope they do the same with other classic titles such as Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island 2, and maybe even Monkey Island 3 (even though it looks great as it is). And I like it that they released it for the iPhone too. Smart move

Don't want school to start either, but this year... my class reigns supreme. Now it's our turn to show up the first day of school, and stare coolly and intimidating at the padawans entering our territory.
