Okay, I'm going back to uni tomorrow.
But MORE IMPORTANTLY, omg new Monkey Island? OMG! I - I'm torn. On the one hand, I hate remakes, sequels are rapidly losing their lustre and reboots and re-imaginings, even as I enjoy them, annoy me on a deep and personal level.*
Heck, my visceral loathing of nostalgia means I feel like a hypocrite every time I get that old rush of glee upon hearing the theme.
But - but - oh, it's hand-painted! Oh, it's so pretty. Oh, they have voices! Oh, I'd give my left arm (or somebody's left arm, anyway) for half an hour to leaf through those concept sketches. That, co-incidentally, I recently played through the Chzo Mythos again and am thus feeling genial towards adventure games in general is not helping.
...Dammit, games industry, I'm still pretty disappointed with you, but if this works out, and then there's some genuinely awesome new IP in the near future, I'll think about being less irritated. You might even get a cookie.
*MAKE UP YOUR OWN DAMN BRAND, YOU MORONS, THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING 'FAITHFUL' OR ALIENATING THE OLD OR NEW FANS
