Some folks astutely pointing out that if you haven’t played the game yet, you might want to skip the last twenty minutes of the video until you have, because spoilers.

I think very few of these games actually have both pirates AND ninjas. But there's a lot of fun stuff on sale this week, including Return to Monkey Island!

Can Ed Arnold deliver a dangerous package to a hotel full of Super Villains and still save the world in this updated Adventure Game?

The demo for Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago is live on steam and Itch. Tamagotchi + JRPG = Fun? (I hope). It's been a year of dev to get here but we're not done yet. So, please, RT and go play the demo. Steam: itch:

I only learned about this game ten minutes ago, but Matthew Ritter is somebody I know from Telltale a few years back so I'm passing it along to you. With a warning to watch out for puns!.

Aha! I think I've got it now! (This is the logo from the front of our booth at PAX last year. Total bonus that it arrived today, on the one-year anniversary of the release of #ReturnToMonkeyIsland, not to mention #TalkLikeAPirateDay!)

This is a great description of my childhood friend Skelly Bamford, but I don't think it's the answer. Also I haven't unwrapped all the letters yet.

Okay true coincidence: In my Halloween short story for last year, two people ask each other this question. They both pick this exact character! (They are both lying.). (Hard at work on this year's story as we speak.).
