"We're a band of vicious pirates
a-sailing out to sea!
When you hear our gentle singing
You'll be sure to turn and flee."

It's great having a widely unknown holiday on my birthday.
Turning 16 tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to the 25th more. ;)

I dunno...Kings Ques was always my favorite adventure game and Monkey Island and Grim Fandango didn't seem to meet it. Maybe it's just me, but Space Quests slogan, "in space no one can hear you clean", always made my spine shiver...

Phil @ Sep 19th 2007 7:28AM
You're as repulsive as a monkey in a negligee ! Arrr
bm @ Sep 19th 2007 7:54AM
I look that much like your fiancée?

That screenshot proves exactly why 3D graphics (or as I like to call them, Uglygons) have no right to be as popular as they are.

When your father first saw you, he must have been mortified.
AnalystGuy @ Sep 19th 2007 4:03PM
At least mine can be identified.
Guybrush Threepwood @ Sep 19th 2007 4:47PM
How appropriate, you fight like a cow.
Brad @ Sep 19th 2007 9:23AM
AH! I just played that scene last night before I went to bed. It's following me everywhere!!!
beanman101283 @ Sep 19th 2007 10:07AM
Oh man.. i saw that screenshot before i saw the headline and thought "A new Monkey Island OMG!!!111one" :-(

Let me just say, this screenie is from the Curse of Monkey Island (3), and it is to date one of the greatest games I have ever played. In fact, I literally feel bad for "gamers" who have never played this gem. It is hilarious, well drawn and animated, with great voicework and music you won't forget your whole life.
Fuck ninjas. Pirates for the fuckin WIN.
