North America hates boxes and anything resembling a hard copy. This has sort of been a trend over both console and PC games that are not big budget for the past two years....  [Read More]
Ah, complete commentary. I like boxes and I will be getting this! Plus, special bonus content including never-before-released "making of" materials and your own Monkey Island avatar code: Unreleased concept art from both original and SE...  [Read More]

All the bugs fixed (including problems with the elusive Domino dialog in Year 3) is the only change I would like to see in an SE. The character models are great as they are. Yeah I agree the character models are good even in low poly just because it...  [Read More]

Hmm, I actually don't have the Windows XP executable either, upon checking my Grim files (just have the patch still). I should probably get that file just in case, elTee, so I'd be most grateful as well....  [Read More]

It might have to do with running it on modern machines. I've never actually played Grim Fandango on Windows XP even (it's been a while since I last beat it), but I can only imagine it would cause weird problems....  [Read More]

I used software rendering and noticed no difference compared to the hardware rendering, Although I was on a small (12") CRT monitor, so pixelation was a lot less. Well definitely the anti-aliasing option from your graphics card for hardware mod...  [Read More]

Yeah I'm fine with the controls and that kind of keyboard control. I've also never understood the complaints. Like Gabez, I actually had more problems with EMI just because the invisible boundaries were everywhere in that game and hardly ever readil...  [Read More]

My soundtrack CD is pretty ratty now. It's kind of scratched, as I guess I've listened to it a lot. It came with the game. Sucks it's such a collector's item now. They should have sold it separately or put it in all boxed copies, I think....  [Read More]

Yeah, I think this game could be remade pretty well with the Telltale engine now that you guys mention it. I'm all for a Grim Fandango remake if it's just higher poly models for both characters and backgrounds as well as just higher resolution all a...  [Read More]

I think this game is worth a measly $20 no matter what it's flaws. I'd say at that price, it turns into a must buy....  [Read More]

Amazon just e-mailed me today that they have finally just canceled my order since it is taking too long for them to obtain the book. Does this pretty much mean the book is never coming out then?...  [Read More]

Did this book ever come out? I ordered it from Amazon like a month ago, and it's on some sort of delay. I know I didn't order right in November/December when it came out, but did anyone receive this book that ordered it at that time? I hope I didn'...  [Read More]

If you preorder at EBgames or Gamestop they give you a special guitar designed by (I believe) Lemmy, but I'm not sure that is a console exclusive. I'm betting this code will end up on Gamefaqs, sort of how the Prince of Persia Gamestop exclusive cos...  [Read More]

Quick question... as some developers tend to do, has there been any word on whether the xbox360 version or the PS3 version of Brutal Legend will have additional exclusive content over the other?...  [Read More]
I think the ultimate batch-file would contain a few questions first, including music replacement yes/no, narrator inclusion yes/no, Spiffy inclusion yes/no and so forth (I don't know if that last one is happening though). And even better than having...  [Read More]
I fully support this! Any chance you can put the Spiffy the Dog portrait back in the game too or is the only work going to be done in Scummspeaks? Also is the SE music coming over as well? or maybe a way we can choose?...  [Read More]
Ah, great stuff going on in this thread. I'll play a CMI style MI:SE for sure....  [Read More]

Wow, thank you! I wrote in a few things for you. I got rid of Heroes Illustrated 14 because it was just sort of a stats thing on Sam and Max villians and a synopsis of the comic. Not really that important. I'm not sure if you want the issue run numbe...  [Read More]

Well Loom only has the redbook audio tracks, which I'm guessing are all split into mp3s or something on steam, since there is no actual Audio CD. I'd suppose FOA is Adlib because I doubt a Tandy PC could do voices without using that Access Software...  [Read More]
