| mixnmojo_feed | 5:53p | Sale! Sale! Sale! There’s only one thing we at Mixnmojo like more than video games, and that is to dance. We also like sales. |
| mixnmojo_feed | 5:14p | New Monkey Island game announced Now that 2015 has come and almost gone, you may be left wondering what to clamor for with Monkey Island 5 almost complete. A new Monkey game? Not necessary. You may be shocked: after SMI:SE and TMI, someone announced IWWHIIWWHITOMIROTPG, “almost 95% complete”. The grumpier among you will be happy to note that it’s in 2D. And dark. |

3:50a | Excel, Dragon Age, my new toy, COMICS! Microsoft, you fail. =/ Thanks for only releasing the older version of Excel for us poor home & student users, which thusly restricts me so I can use spreadsheets I made on Kef's Mac!Office suite, but I can't use spreadsheets I made on my Microsoft!Office suit on the Mac. I had to delete all of my batman catalogues and start from scratch because of that. Thanks. My shiny new laminator is great, good fun using it. 2/3 of the way through laminating two more golden age comics I've finished printing out. :D When on a dig yesterday for more Mill Case cases, I discovered two more boxes full of comics that I forgot I had. YES. I thought I lost them! Extra bonus is that in one of the boxes I had some left over Mill Case cases lying around, which is fucking fantastic because Mill Cases are now ridicolously expensive. They used to be about $2.50 per case, so a retail pack of 5 cases was around $20, in the end, complete with the store's tacked on price. Now? It's $40 for 5 cases. 5. Five. F.I.V.E. Five. Thank fucking Christ that I bought the zillions when I did years ago, and got a nice discount. Why the fuck did you raise your price to $40 for FIVE cases? I need to go through my collection and count how many comics I have left that aren't in Mill Case cases, so I can then woefully calculate how much it's going to bloody cost me. When I looked at them a couple of days ago, I had about roughly 15-28 comics left caseless. D: Dragon Age hasn't arrived yet, you know. This makes me very, very sad. D= Apparently it beats even Oblivion. Chaos, how is that fucking possible?! Oblivion is god. Oblivion is nearly perfect. It would be perfect if it had repeatable!quests, more armour & weapons, and NPCs to travel with/etc. Ahwehrrere game store, ship my damn copy already! Current Mood:  giddy |

| mixnmojo_feed | 11:38p | New Ghost Pirates trailer Dtp entertainment has released a new teaser for Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island. This is I believe the first available sample of the English voice work, and judging from the above trailer, which tells us little else, this area was well done. Update by Zaarin: You may be interested in this here totally unrelated, but awesome, tribute to Monkey Island by Miquel Montllo. |
| mixnmojo_feed | 9:41p | A giant monkey you won't go into a fanboyish rant over Just when you think Steve Purcell can’t dig up a piece of concept art for the scrapped Monkey Island movie that can top the last, he goes and pulls a stunt like this. |
| Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 | ||
| mixnmojo_feed | 10:48p | Surely he's got to be running out of these Steve Purcell has uploaded another two pieces of never-before-seen concept art from the scrapped Monkey Island animated movie. That conclusion being speculation on my part, of course. |

3:08a | Dragon Age & once again! My collector's edition of Dragon Age hasn't arrived yet. :| This makes me sad. Four legged ostriches are fine for the meantime. Bri's questions from that survey! 1) What state were you born in? Northern Territory! 2) How did you find your love for Batman/Joker? Comics! X3 3) What made you decide to add me? Because you're a permanent/active user here on IJ, and you looked awesome. 4) Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Still living under Kef's couch, and maybe finally have gotten a correspondence thing for Photoshop. 5) If you could go anywhere for a week, where would you go? Italy. EDIT: Finished my layout! :D No problems. Now back to fixing my new layout. Hopefully I've finally fixed the fucking stupid thing, I'm getting sick of re-opening Photoshop and tweaking a graphic to make it seamless :| Current Mood:  calm |

5:45p | NaNoWriMo: so far, not pre-empted by the zombie apocalypse! So, NaNo. Going well lately. I had a lousy week and had serious trouble making my word count on Thursday, leading to my taking it out on Guybrush on Friday and therefore finishing the first part of TSE. Glee! (Guybrush, on the other hand, is most likely plotting my untimely demise. The poor boy.) Though, technically it's not quite finished, as there's a number of missing/cut scenes. Last year, with the Ferret, I wrote every scene as it came along, but then, because the story was longer than 50K, I never actually got around to finishing it. I'm hoping I'll have better luck completing the story this year by just going back and writing in missing scenes after NaNo's done. So, now in the Google Docs folder, we have the mostly finished copy of The Second Element I, the start of The Second Element II, and a list of some of the scenes missing from TSE I. (Since some of them are...erm, rather important to the plot. Oops?) Also, my NaNo backlog is down to around 1,800 or so words, so I'm catching up...in between bouts of playing Left 4 Dead 2. Which has so far, while being fun, not managed to derail NaNo. There was, however, a palpable sigh of relief around here when Telltale announced the last episode of Tales was delayed until Dec. 8th. As sad as I am that it's been delayed...I don't think NaNo could have withstood the simultaneous distractions of work, L4D2, and ToMI. That would have just ended in tears. Current Mood:  accomplishedCurrent Music: the TV is so distracting |

4:21a | Harvest Moon + New toy! I'll be busy this weekend with a new toy! :D My very own laminator. Now I can laminate all my archival!printed comics instead of bombarding my mum with orders. Plus other things too, like arts for the Kai. I'll also be busy this weekend playiing a shiny new game that arrived today; Tree of Tranquility! I need my goddamn ostrich farm. I will name two Nerela and Bernard. Four legged ostriches will soon conquer the world :E (don't ask, Lethe knows!) I will name a goat Jitan, and leave it out in the snow. >) Chaos, I'll name a silkworm after you. Current Mood:  cheerful |

| mixnmojo_feed | 6:31p | Battlefront developer ceases to be Pandemic Studios, who developed Battlefront, Battlefront II, Mercenaries and Clone Wars (2002) for LEC before being absorbed along with Bioware by EA has been shut down: Electronic Arts has confirmed rumours regarding the closure of Mercenaries and Saboteur developer Pandemic Studios.This makes for a sucky situation for all those developers, and a fuzzy situation as far as who is developing the elusive Battlefront III. In 2006, the game’s development was associated with UK studio Free Radical Design before it too closed its doors. Following that, the game was said to be transferred to the hands of Rebellion, developer of the two handheld entries in the series, Renegade Squadron and, earlier this month, Elite Squadron. It was later suggested though that the company was only working on a PS2 port of the game, and that the franchise’s original developer Pandemic was back at the wheel. That Pandemic would have been developing for LEC despite being owned by EA isn’t out of the question given that LEC is partnering with Bioware for The Old Republic. Of course, that’s all moot now. I wonder who’s next on the list? |

12:02a | Bah. Thanks, Notification center for not keeping records of comments I get that are NOT in my actual journal. :D Now I've lost most of the threads I'm supposed to be replying too. That'll teach me to not reply through the links in my e-mail inbox. Bah. EDIT: I got tagged by Amy. The rules: If you want me to ask you five questions, comment with Resistance is futile!. Now, to answer Amy's questions: 1. What is your favorite thing about the beach? 2. What drew you into RPG's? 3. Why do you like Batman/The Joker so much? 4. How long have you been photoshopping? 5. What got you into graphic design? ( Read more... ) Current Mood:  drained |

| mixnmojo_feed | 3:33p | The pirate god will rise next month! It’s official, Rise of the Pirate God will be coming to your poxed computers next month. December 8th to be exact. Update by Kroms: You can now buy individual chapters off the Telltale store. Also, notice the “Tales of Monkey Island Season One”. One. Like the number preceding five in 2015. |
| mixnmojo_feed | 11:05a | Call Tim Schafer in, oh, two hours Tim Schafer will be appearing on Kotaku Talk Radio in a little under two hours (or whatever this clock tells you when you click it). To quote: We expect a high volume of calls during this show, so it’s probably a good idea to start calling in to (347) 857-3782 the second we kick the show off at 1 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday. Remember, you can always use Skype to call a land line if you’re international or local.Good luck to everyone wanting to get a call in. Thanks to Giygas, who mentioned this ages ago, and Custard, who told me just now. |

4:51a | Vagrant Story, Batman, The Joker, The Pirates of Dark Water fandom asylums ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed!gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i>vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. Pending/WIP.And, Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker. It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans. Two important polls need to be voted on, as seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, etc. This asylum will continue to be WIP until further interest is shown. I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs. Current Mood:  hungry |

| mixnmojo_feed | 10:59p | LEGO Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues released! While we regrettably didn’t commit to following the voluminous and quality coverage of this game as comprehensively as it deserved, today is the shipping date for Lego Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues, as you may know from some of the charming commercials for it that I at least have been seeing on TV. |

| mixnmojo_feed | 10:43p | Dave Grossman reveals that Jeff Smith fans are Boned While the outlook of a third Bone game hasn’t been exactly promising since, oh, early 2006, it’s always a shame to have to read something like this: DEN: What about some of the other franchises, I know you have announced the next Sam and Max, but what about future installments of Bone, or Strong Bad?I guess if the Bone movie ever leaves the conceptual phase there’s a possibility that the tides could change, but for now it’s looking like the Bone cousins are stuck in the Valley evermore, at least as told within a Telltale game. |

| mixnmojo_feed | 11:44p | Brütal Soundtrack Released... no, not that one, the one Gabez might actually like Resident music (and poster) maestro Laserschwert has pointed out to me that the Brtal Legend Soundtrack is now available to download… but it’s not the licensed song list, it’s Peter McConnell’s Original Score for the game, plus ‘Girlfriend’ by Kabbage Boy (yay!). |
| mixnmojo_feed | 5:32p | Indy Jones wiips his way to Virtual Console As reported by Nintendo Life, the Wii’s Virtual Console service now boasts Super Nintendo’s “Indiana Jones’ Greatest Adventures” a side scrolling action game, not unlike the previously added Super Star Wars series. [LucasArts] gave Factor 5, most well-known for their Turrican games on SNES and Mega Drive exclusive rights to develop a game based on all three movies in the Indiana Jones trilogy. We don’t know what led them to this choice, but it was definitely the right one, as Indy’s Greatest Adventures still live up to its name as one of his best action-based games. Check Nintendo Life for their review of the game. Also, as a side note, Wiiware in Europe / Australasia now has demos for some games, with US no doubt following close behind, so hopefully we’ll see some Mojo-friendly titles being demoed on Wiiware in the future. |

12:00a | My name is Chris and I am 19. I am a mechanic/lifeguard and I go to school full time for fine arts. I am from PA and it's pretty great if you enjoy being bored out of your mind 24/7. My music taste is pretty eclectic, I can handle anything but country, but I prefer something heavier. I love horror movies and bad slasher films. I love plaid. If any of this interests you, add me. |
