I'm a believer . . .

I'm on a "sabbatical" from the blog for this week and next due to work but I have to say something about this post on Fidgit, my trusty gaming blog. I'm warning you: this is LIFE CHANGING.



Old DOS LucasArts games are now available for download on STEAM. I'm seriously about to cry tears of joy. Especially because THE SECRET OF MOTHER FUCKING MONKEY ISLAND is going to be available July 15!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! SO HAPPY!!! July 15th will be the best day of my life.

I'm seriously at a loss for words. I have been desperately trying to bootleg some version of Monkey Island forever. The day we could no longer run DOS programs on our family computer was a black day in the Faux household. I've made my peace with the loss of Bagasaurus (there's a reason I'm a great speller) but I could never EVER let go of Monkey Island. Those pixelated images, pirate insults ("How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"), and Stan the used boat salesman have haunted my life. And now, in less than one week I can finally find salvation! There is a God, and as usual, his name is Lucas. Kudos, George, you have redeemed yourself in my eyes. I forgive you for your sins (Episodes I and II).

Not lying, Corinthians I XIII should be rewritten: Faith, hope, love. But the greatest of these is Lucas.
