Wow. Just one more post! And Ron is going to change the bolg's background color!!!! That is the only reasonable possibility

Something is certainly going on. I Can't wait for Wednesday. :)

pibhgyghfgx

humm.
Makes sense...

It's the final countdoooooown

turu ruuuru
turu ru tu tuuuu

lololol

You can use all but 2 of the letters from your name to make "Tim Schafer". Coincidence? Or am I just very, very sad?

Ok, I know that sentence didn't make sense but you know what I mean

3, 2, 1 and... RON KILL HIMSELF!!!!
That's it! I think I discovered what is going to happen! Suicide! This is it! he kill's himself and we will never know the secret of Monkey Islad!!!! Woooohaaaaa! Yeahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm. What will be next?

Uno? Adjin? Aaans?

-Ben

how about One

Ron Gilber mother fucker.
I'm goig to the beach today and I will come back only on saturday!!!!! You definetly ruined my vacation. I will be on the beach wishing I could be in the city... You bastard

So agressive. You are a mother fucker!

Monkey Island 2?! I'm confused... ?

What could it mean?

No, DUH! He's gonna STRIP!

ARRGHH, dear God, my eyes!!! They burn!!!!

I get the feeling this has something to do with Penny Arcade Adventures... What else is he working on atm?

And then he is gonna kill himself!!! NAKED!!!!
Now that would be awsome

Hey, please hold back with those comments. You know, he reads every comment and now he probably is depressed.

@Augusto: there'll be a zero, a minus one, a minus two, a minus three, a minus...
and so on. You won't miss this event, trust me.

Thank you... (snif)
You made me feel so better...
Now if ron is depressed, you should blame the "Guy who thinks that people wanna kill themselves"

We black people from Argentina - Pendor and me, that is - are sweating in expectation. All right of course.

I know what it is, but I won't tell you.
Not even if you you have an attractive sister...

Wait, I got it. The collecting period is finally closed, and Ron is getting that new car. He had to wait long enough for it!

Oh, oh, oh make a polish "one"! ("Jeden")

Oh! He is making a Monkey Island 2 remake! Yeah! ...Ok, maybe not.

Why are so many people here, that are so rude ("mother fucker"). What has Ron Gilbert done to you. Well, he probably invented the best thing in the world... Monkey Island... But apart from that, nothing wrong. I claim that my last sentence actually doesnt make sense, but i leave it that way. OK, Ron, you're the greatest, and if you'd were able to talk any german fluently, i would recommend my blog to you, because, i often take reference to your one. I want call you names, but i also dont think youre god, youre near to be one. Stay Tuned to this website
btw i want to know whats behind the countdown, too, but hey, i guess im gonna find out sometime. i think the countdown makes sense, in case of tension.

I agree. Those comments very definitely rude and undeserved.

@Ron: now you got me really curious... I just hope the countdown isn't for a background color change. :)

I agree whole heartedly.  I think this t-shirt expresses what's happening here.

http://www.pennyarcademerch.com/pat070381.html

Video Game Marketers everywhere are perplexed by Ron Gibert's most bold decision to have an exciting count-down that doesn't waste a month of their life.

"It's so perplexing, it went form "3" to "2" in less than a 48 hour period" mentioned FALLOUT 3 team - "We don't really know what's going on here..."

"I'm sure he's just starting a blog about his new game..." - said the let-down expert Masahiro Sakurai.

Blizzard were unavailable for comment, since they are really busy working on their seven-year countdown for StarCraft 2.

Does anyone else find it funny that even when it comes to something as trivial as a COUNTDOWN, Ron Gilbert single-handedly kicks ass and chews bubble gum, while the rest of the industry just kind of annoys their devoted fans?

"Does anyone else find it funny that even when it comes to something as trivial as a COUNTDOWN, Ron Gilbert single-handedly kicks ass and chews bubble gum, while the rest of the industry just kind of annoys their devoted fans?"

I love this sentence.

It is a countdown that represents that he will announce Monkey Island: Zero! That would be prequel featuring Guybrush childhood. Or maybe he is going to FINALLY publish the true secret of MI. Or maybe "2" are the days remaining in which this site can be seen for free. Or maybe it's the days remaining Ron has to pay his debts to the mafia. Or maybe he is announcing a career switch and now he will be a musicals producer. Or maybe it's the deadline in which he expects his car (car4ron.com). Or maybe he is just a mother fucker (It feels nice to say it). Or maybe he is just testing his Flash skills. Or maybe he is teaching us numbers. Or maybe...

(It feels nice to say it)

I know!
He's probably finally realized he's never getting the rights to Monkey Island, so he's going to reveal the secret.
"Oh, the hell with it! The secret is-"

[the universe collapses]

"3... and then 2.
I know something is going on here, it is just like those numbers might follow some sort of pattern..."
Monsieur Fajerkaos thought to himself while chewing on his left eyebrow.

Hey. GG is smiling. What?s going on?

Apocalypse.

Ichi!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The announcement of "Monkey Island - The Movie"?

A litte bird whispered in my ear.
It said that tomorrow Ron Gilberts blog will say: 1.
Why one? I asked.
Because its the arabic numeral system, its counting backwards.
But nations often depicted as Arabic doesn't have the Arabic numeral system, said I.
No. But that's beside the point. The little bird said.
So... What will be after one? I asked.
I dunno, said the bird. But i bet ye my feathers that its nothing Monkey Island related, or important.

But then again who knows. He sure fooled me with the Monkey Island 2 ending. (I was shocked for days!)

I bet we are finaly going to see what he has been working on all this time.

I think its a new comic.

What does everyone predict will be posted tomorrow?

I think it will be the letter "G".

no, Ron, do not commit suicide!

:-D

don't you see? 2 numbers and all the hype is here back... well it was already from the first one hahaha

and by the way, there is some people here that see a number and always think it's a number for a monkey island sequel... 69? monkey island 69?

:-DD

Maybe he traveled to France, after that Germany and then...

Someone get me a map. Im gonna unravel this thing.

Caramba.

Duke Forever Teaser, finally! ^^

Damn, now I'm forced to post just to show that I'm on top of the Ron Gilbert hype...

I say he's counting down to anounce that he has finally found a publisher for his "unspecified new adventure/RPG game".

I also just discovered that his birthday is a complete mistery...

Ichi next!  I want news that Ron's new game is in development or a download for the Penny Arcade game!

3+2 = 5 Monkey Island 5. IT'S SO OBVIOUS!

I don't believe that this is related to Monkey Island 3a, but it would be very great, the best in years.

its that penny arcade game isnt it?

Yay :)

Hah!

I knew it was a countdown! And it seems to be an international one cause this time the headline is in german and not in french again.
And hell yes now I'm curious. I wanted to skip the "2" and don't look until "1" but I couldn't stay away. I hope it's not a countdown to world's end cause I was planning to go to Monkey Island and find out about the damn secret on friday.

It's obvious what it is, if you all had been paying attention you would've known.

But I guess ah... Well.

Dude, I am curious!

Haven't been here a while, but I wanted to check what good old Ron is up to...and now he even made me registering a "Gravatar". :). Just because he made two (by the way well made) Flash-Animation-Numbers.

Besides, "zwei" is my language. ;)

Yo Ron! Greetings from Argentina (here in South America). PLEASE let it be a Monkey Island news or something. We are going to haunt you till the end of your days until we know the SECRET of Monkey Island (or at least whats the real ending of the 2nd one).

ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH Zwei ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH Ron Gilbert ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ...

Ron please don't disappoint us.
All of us expect something really extraordinary.
Let it be good news and not some bad joke.

Listen to his "German TV Interview", around 6:30

The project is an adventure melted with Diablo-style RPG. It's an episodic comedy game (smaller little episodes over time).

hmmm.... I wonder if anybody will read down this far...

Ron is simply just practicing for his guest apearance on Seasame Street.

Zwei! ~ha~ha~ha...

yeahyyy
eine deutsche ZWEI ^^
