SBCG4AP today, etc.

Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is out today for PC and Wiiware, at least the first episode, Homestar Ruiner. It's out a little later for Wiiware if you live outside the US, so I'm getting it for PC and will be playing it on my chugging laptop - It runs Sam and Max okayishly, and I'm hoping the simpler art style of H*R will improve performance and let me bump it up to High Quality (Strong Bad with jaggies just seems wrong).

There's not much point in me talking about the game now, before I've got it, but it reminded the adventure fan in me that I forgot to post about a little opinion piece I wrote about my introduction to Monkey Island and what it did for me as a gamer. It was posted on MixnMojo's excellent Secret History feature and can be found here (just search the page for 'Peter Silk' then scroll up to the beginning of my entry.)

If the blog post I made a while back about the fall and fall of Lucasarts in my estimation focused on the end of the affair, this little piece was about the start.
