    I'm hoping they keep Morgan le Flay around - she's the most refreshing (and by refreshing, I mean 'hot girl character that isn't a total b*tch') addition to the series in a decade. #talesofmonkeyisland

    @TwoLaneBlackTop: Remember, Curse of Monkey Island had an advertised plot point that he was fated to die on that quest to cure Elane from being a gold statue.
    He did.
    Kinda.
    Several times actually.

    Point is, just enjoy the game. #talesofmonkeyisland

    By the way, $10 was already a steal for The Secret of Monkey Island SE, but at $5 you will absolutely have to buy it or risk walking the plank.

    @jonomcleish: There's a problem with it though, I scrambled up the info amidst all the cannonball fire and swashbuckling. It incorrectly claims it would be free for 3 days, when it's only free for 1. The other days it's just the 50% off deal. Guess I should correct it, even pirate journalism needs to be accurate.
