Telltale Signs That You’ve Spent Too Much Time On Monkey Island

A much loved series for myself and for countless others.  A series that has undergone some major changes to keep up with the times.  Not to mention the recent remakes for HD which are a welcome and refreshing new look to a cult classic.

So…how can you tell if you’ve (over the years or just recently) been spending too much time in the world of Monkey Island?

• When visiting museums you spot a skull and wander over and address it by saying “Murray?” only to feel disheartened when it fails to reply

• You refer to yourself in the third person, adding ™ at the end of your name

• You make a string of bad jokes, usually of a piratey nature and amuse yourself

• You stash numerous items in your pockets and have a keen eye for where to use them or when to combine them to allow you to progress further in your life

• You stop dead in your tracks when entering a  new room/location and count in your head to emulate a make-believe load time

• When analysing objects or people you always conjure up a memory or experience somehow linked to them or they remind you of it

• Members of the older generation live their lives in a clunky and less fluid method, taking time to identify an object of interest and eventually “clicking”

• Younger generations move around freely taking in all they can and are able to function better with an improved level of control over themselves

• No matter where you journey to, you always bump into a number of monkeys and your arch-nemesis
