Yeah. Even on Thimbleweed, which doesn't quite hit the mark, Gilbert's a singular writer, especially with gags. He's sort of classically "corny but without being actually corny" and that's hard to imitate precisely.

Yeah, 4 was.. eh. I kept meaning to get around to 5, maybe I'll grind it out in time for this new one to come out.

I loved 3, though. I mean, the sea shanty part alone made it worth it. And the voice of Scrooge McDuck!

I got Return to Monkey Island for Christmas and have just finished it. Strangely sad!

I liked the theme tune bit and was quite proud of getting that. The second-last puzzle in the last part had me grumbling for quite a while!

i quite enjoyed return to monkey island but the very ending didn't work for me - seemed like they needed to expand that part a bit to make the point they were trying to make bc it felt sudden and confusing

That whole album is gold btw. That's more of an instrumental interlude track but there's loads of marimba all over it
