Whoa. It has just been announced that Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert is working with Hothead and Penny Arcade on Penny Arcade Adventures.

That is pretty darn sweet. Ron is one of my heroes. My hopes for this project have just increased!

The expression “pearls before swine” comes to mind.

Muhahaha, mos definitely Ron PWNS Tim! Nothing tops Monkey Island… well maybe DOTT, but Full Throttle and Grim Fandango can never compete with MI (though they still are damn hot games).

Well, I’m already anticipating the Gilbert vibes in Penny Arcade - I sure am curious what inpact this will have on the game…

Oh man…

That IS sweet news!

Totally mint!

Or at least, it would be if I knew what “Hothead” was.

But Monkey Island is awesome!

Not quite as cool as Full Throttle was, though. Or Grim Fandango. Or anything else Tim Schaefer created.

Tim Schaefer PWNS Ron Gilbert!

Before, it was a “I might buy it” sort of thing. Now, this is a more pressing monetary demand for me than college, gas money, and hookers.

(Also, Tim Schafer was only partially responsible. He did a good portion of the dialog, along with Dave Grossman. Their writing actually turned it from a serious game into a comedy. He also co-created Day of the Tentacle.)

I thought Tim Shafer was responsible for Monkey Island.
