Redbubble

So, errrmm, I started a Redbubble account so I could make my Monkey Island Cannibals design into a t-shirt. Mostly just because I want one myself but, y’know, if anyone else wants to buy one that would be pretty awesome too…

The Cannibals

Everyone’s favourite vegetarian cannibals – actually they might even be vegan.

“The three cannibals seen in this game [Curse of Monkey Island (MI3)] are Lemon Head, Pineapple Head and Banana Head. The cannibals have now also completely abandoned their cannibalistic nature and consume only tofu, vegetables and fruit.” – Monkey Island Wiki

The grey one is Guybrush with a tofu mask.

Oh, and I did this by the way.

The Secret of Monkey Island

Yesterday was my first full day back home, and I was sick. Blerrgh. So I decided to download the Secret of Monkey Island for mac, and today I am well again.

Another Sunday afternoon

And banjo playing pirates.

Yeah... I didn't do much work today.

Monkey Island

The Monkey Island games are the quite simply the best video games I've ever played. I used to play the original point and click games when I was a wee girl, with my pa. The original game is older than me! And I have many fond memories of calibrating cacti and carving masks from tofu – I didn't know what tofu was before Monkey Island.

Anyway, the first two games have been remade and are available for iPhone/iPad. I don't have either of those but my dad has an iPod Touch so I eagerly made him download it.

Gizmodo also wrote an article about the MI2 special edition game.
