The Mind of Cyrus (and so many like him)

monkey0506 · Wed 30/05/2007 21:12:30

My time spent in these forums has been less and less these days, and sporadic as well. But I couldn't help but look when I saw yet another Monkey Island thread getting locked. Cyrus in his enthusiastic spasm of love for the games dug up a rather old thread. I don't mean to single him out, lots of people do this. He's just the most recent example.

Anyway, it reminded me of this thing my friend sent me once...

lol, Monkey Island!

To me...that is one of the most accurate depiction of the mind of 70% of the budding 13 year olds who come across this website I've ever seen.

On the topic of Monkey Island 2's The Man Now, Dawg!:

Acappella Stan sells to Guybrush
Guybrush shuts Stan the hell up
Wally, the original emo kid

That's all I've got to say about that.

Thats funny, I was just following Cyrus' obsession with MI myself!

That reminds me, I am working on a new Monkey Island game and I have got Dominic Armato to do the voice of Guybrush, and Helm is doing the graphics, with Nikolas providing the music. Steel Drummer plays the triangle. The game will be released in 2009.

Well.... good job ManicMatt. You just won the most mean man award in the planet for 2 secs. I mean it's not a bad thing if someones get excited and overeacting. Moderators have that boring lock or ban job to do. So don't complain. Anyway I've been replaying some stupid game , i think it's called Secrets. Ever played this one?

Helm's doing the graphics and Nik's doing the music? Who'd play that crap anyway

If you play the A Capella Stan thingie backwards, it sounds a bit like:
LucasArtsNeverWantedToDoEscapeFromMonkeyIslandWithKeyboardControls.

ManicMatt · Thu 31/05/2007 14:23:53

With a keyboard? Hm I'm glad I played it on the Playstation 2!

monkey0506 · Thu 31/05/2007 17:18:51

Hmmm...in Lolis Land I've decided that Stan is the hyperactive 13 year old while Guybrush is CJ.

Any Monkey Island game with a triangle in it will definitely be t3h b3s73s7 |\/|1 g4M3 3V4R LAWL!!!11two.

Snazzy beard by the way Ceej.

Cool! where can I find the 19 month old thread and ask you gayz a queston?!

Oh, and crazy flash files! LOL, I love that tune

Dualnames · Fri 01/06/2007 20:57:45

Well, including Mods as well , in this thread you all have managed to break almost every rule in the forums. Good job

. And Darth Mandarb locks topics because an image is missing.

I'm thinking of starting a new topic. Like violate any rule here. Or Kill Manic Matt For Pete's Sake(Who the fu%& is Pete? Well, some dog in Earthworm Jim.)

monkey0506 · Fri 01/06/2007 21:45:22

Hmm...a non-mod pointing out other members breaking the rules...

Thanks for breaking rule #3:

Quote3. If you're not a moderator, don't pretend to be one. If a thread needs to be moved or locked, the moderators will deal with it.

Good job Dualnames! Couldn't have done it without you!!!

Seriously, I made this thread because all the recent MI-hype reminded me of those YTMNDs so I thought I'd share. Again, Cyrus was just the most recent example of someone doing this...he's not the first and he probably won't be the last. But seriously guys: "LAWL MUNKIE EYELAND!!!!"

MrColossal · Fri 01/06/2007 21:50:36

I like the image of Stan chasing Guybrush. JUST BUY SOMETHING... ANYTHING!

Dualnames, as far as I can tell no rules have been broken so all is ok.

DeviantGent · Fri 01/06/2007 21:53:07

Ting!

Hammerite · Fri 01/06/2007 22:10:22

I think we should fire Steel Drummer, DC's doing a MUCH better job with that triangle.
Give him his redundancy package NOW!

I play steel drums, not triangles. I'm practically the Jimi Hendrix of steel drums.

This thread keeps getting funnier.

Steel Drummer · Sat 02/06/2007 05:46:48

You tryin' to make fun of me, punk? I could beat you anytime on the steel drums. Here are just a few of the many media venues that I've played in:

You've probably heard of/listened to all (or at least a few of) those 'Caribbean' CDs that have a bunch of calypso and reggae songs played on steel drums? Well I'm the guy who's providing the lead steel drum for most of those songs on every one of those CDs. I've even played steel drums for orchestra music! A few years ago I was asked to come in and help record a steel drum part for the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack.

Star Wars IV: Cantina band, I was the third guy from the left. George Lucas had me dressed in all that makeup and that crazy get-up. I actually went into the studio and recorded the steel drum track to both of the cantina pieces for Star Wars IV.

I also recorded (recently) two (yes, two) steel drum notes in one of the songs from Spider-Man 3. I know, it's quite a feat, but I pulled it off incredibly. If you happen to buy the movie when it comes out, watch the film at 56:23- that's the part of the soundtrack where I played my notes.

What I'm trying to say is:

ManicMatt, can I play steel drums for your game, rather than triangle?
