It looks fake, like they're mixing two different stories to make it seem like they're talking about Monkey Island.

@Orionsaint: One look at that blue screen with the ingredients tells you all you need to know. The shots actually from Monkey Island are added by the Daily-Show-esque program that brought attention to the "official" report.

I just started replaying MI yesterday (bought the SE) and god... this is just hilarious XD. How can this be true... honestly... i mean i'm pretty sure... don't hold me on this... but the recipe for Grog would kill or seriously hurt anyone who made the concoction and drank it. So why is none of the people involved noting that?

Actually, Escape from Monkey Island, released 2000, did /not/ use SCUMM anymore. It used, like Grim Fandango, the GrimE engine, with LUA as the scripting language.

Tonight on world news at 5...

A group of Spanish journalist have been found dead this morning after consuming what is now identified as "Grog ikataa" after learning about its alcoholic effects on "facebook". We'll have more on this as the story progresses.

@WhiteMage: That's probably debatable. I remember a quote from the mother in the article saying that he was "a smart boy," but no smart boy thinks drinking gasoline to be like Optimus Prime is a great idea. Energon maybe, but not regular unleaded.

Besides, have you EVER seen a news story where the victim "probably deserved it/was an idiot/nobody really liked them?" Besides this one anyway.

Why are people concerned about some silly "Grog" concoction when kids everywhere are huffing a substance known as "Jenkem"?

That's real danger for ya, folks.

And Monkey Island sales just went up 50%. Hey, let's make some more controversies and help the developers out!

I heard that Guybrush does something totally unnatural to a big ugly yak wearing wax lips.

My buddy got a call from Blizzard yesterday after his credit card fraud kicked in when he was about to purchase the last set of tickets. Surprisingly, they offered up four tickets yesterday. Just booked our flight, and hotel. Can. Not. Wait. Dressing up as a four man dragoon will be the nerdiest thing I have ever done in my life.

Meh went to one of the past blizcons honestly I felt that it wasn't worth the price I paid what with the cost of airfare plus the cost of ticket and hotel and car rental all in all I can say it was not as great as I thought it would have been. Seems there is more hype then ever for this and honestly folks its a good experience but not for what I spent on it.

@Befitzero:

There is something about events like that.

A tech expo is interesting, they show you neat things in the flesh. Blizzcon to my understanding is a LAN party.

I've been to a 500 person LAN before -PDXLAN- and there is something that made me feel incredibly disattached.

Then it hit me... It's the size! While it is nice to do once, or twice, I'd much rather attend a LAN with 10-60 people.

Now, WW2 or Civil War reenacting, that's different... I'd love to see a few thousand yanks... *gulp*

You don't wanna miss it! They're going to announce the next character class from Diablo 3, the Scalper.

"The Scalper will gain bonuses to buying/selling of items and perception stat gains allowing them to spot suckers over long distances. Their ticket glammer ability will make their trade items irresistable to other players."

Yeah, "the Scalper" is just a variation of the Rogue class.
