I love you ron but i simply don't get it.

You ignorant!!!!
Oh wait.... I didn't get it either...

Why yes, that is correct. How magnificently observed.

Because I have too much time at work and looked at the cast at imdb.com, I'm taking a wild guess and conclude Death Spank's release date will be 8th May or 5th August. May Better be May, or else.

I have come to the same conclusion. I'm extending the theory by guessing it's May 8th, because I don't think Ron would post a note on this so far ahead. Further research needed on the timing relationship between Ron's posts and their relevance to an event in the world. Would someone do this and calculate a median? Thanks.

And stop calling my comments dumb, Ron. It's insulting.

What a dumb thing to say.

What a dumb smile in that picture.

Yeah, Johnny's smile looks slightly retarded, actually.

Why do you always think there has to be a hidden message behind everything Ron says? Maybe there is simply nothing to get.

BTW I only see 11 people on that picture.

hmmm that's right, where's the 12th?

He's taking the picture

That made me chuckle.

Good to know.

Mmmmhm.

Ah, there's the rub. Do you get it?

Why not throw in some "air quotes" as well?

That's right, nothing hidden, just a fact

Sheesh, relax. :>
I just felt like being silly.

But you would've heard it here first, just in case. Win/win. ;)

Things i know:
Ron stopped working on DeathSpank to make a lousy post. :P

The man on the top left looks like Ron. Yeah, I don't get it too.

He does look like Ron. Photoshop, anyone?

Nope, it's the original picture.

Oh yes they do look angry. But where is Henry Fonda? WHERE?!

herr.. right in the middle? the best visible one?

aw, allright, only now i get it...

Gee, they all look awful angry =[

My guess is that Ron's going to show random facts for a few days and then show something about DeathSpank.

poo

wee

how retarded.

It does say "Part I". It's clearly the setup of a multi-part joke.

The Dali of the videogames... you are surrealist :)

He's playing with us like we were some little Ed's hamster in the microwave...

But he doesnt realise we are the water jar.....

Dont fool with us......

Quincy rules!

I get it.  It's things he knows.  Like The Secret of Monkey Island and the DeathSpank release date.  It could be winding up to one of these being known by us all (It's not going to be the Secret of Monkey Island).  That or the guilt of not making adventure games to keep us entertained for the last 17 years has driven him mad.  I really hope its my second theory.

He's probably forgot what the secret is by now. And if not, Alzheimer will some day catch up with him.

E.G. Marshall > Henry Fonda + Jack Klugman

Enough said-

he's doing what Earl Pomerantz does in his blog except ron never wrote for tv just watched it so it is just trivial information which is not expected for a blog so thats funny. its not like he's telling us the 12th missing man in the photo shot jfk.

OMG! OMG!
can't wait for part II!

Great movie, they don't make those anymore :(

Could this be Ron's version of the "12 days of Xmas"?

There would be one every day

Shut up. No one wants to hear what you have to say.

Oh fine I'll just crawl down a hole. I didn't mean to hurt you.

Awwww.... in the vain of christmas spirit, let's be friends.

Nonono... It's ok... sniff No... I'll be alright... cry

There, there... just let it all out. The world is a mean place, I know.

Did you know, then, that Richard Basehart and Barbara Bel Geddes starred in Fourteen Hours?

Wow, Ron. Maybe you should get a real education. Doesn't seem to be a lot you know. Unless there are many, many... many parts and you started with the weak stuff.

Wow, Stephen. You may (or most probably may not) know many things, but the fundamental, insurmountable difference between you and Ron is that you're an idiot while he (as Vince Noir would say) is genius.

... says blombo.

I have an opinion on what blombo just said. But I'm not gonna tell.

You fight like a goat cheese farmer.

There's never been a blog argument that I have lost!

This must be your first time posting then, eh?

I blog so much my fingers are covered with calluses!

I think I know what kind of blogs you're talking about - get a girlfried you fiend!

Even though you're miles away on a computer I can STILL smell you!

That reminds me - I think I left my keys by your wife's bed earlier, can you check?

Wow! You're good enough to challenge Ron.

you all blog comment fight like a 15yr old myspace little emo girl.

We wanted you to feel comfortable.

I think what gabe was trying to say was that they've spoken with apes more polite than us...

I get what gabe was saying, but I don't get what you're trying to say.
They've imitated the style of speech in Monkey Island during the sword fights, and they've done that very well... gabe just doesn't know that much about MI.

Hey, Ron Gilbert, I played all four Monkey Islands.
The third and the fourth one sucked, but the first and second were the best.
I'd probably never feel agin that sensation of both fear and fun I had in the last part of MI2, when LeChuck chases you.

Aniways, I found a indie game that I bet you will like.
It has an amazing story, simple but great graphics and it's really fun.
It's called Barkley Shut Up and Jam:Gaiden
http://chef.avalanchestudios.net/Barkley/Barkley%20Shut%20Up%20and%20Jam%20Gaiden.zip

Try it out, and tell me what you think.

I completely agree, but I didn't finish playing the third game. (I still wonder what happens with the carnival)
I didn't try to play the fourth.
Anyway, because you have with this honorable opinion I will try this game.

Oh, a worth thing to note is that Tim Schafer didn't participate in the third and fourth games.

Hmmm, yes. Quite splendid.

Ron's words of wisdom. :)

I think Ron's avatar looks like two famous Canadian twins:

Brilliant. I made this observation earlier as well. He does look like a Canadian, plus he works there.

Where's the chat thingy, Ron? Why did you remove it?

This blog is boring. I've got to grow up and read proper stuff, not some random stuff peripherally related to games.

"Be a man! Be a Klug-Man!!" ~Zorak duing his tribute to jack klugman on space ghost: C2C, C. Martin Croker has no idea why they did that bit either

So much knowledge and so little time to communicate it.

Here's something I know. James Stewart starred in It's A Wonderful Life. And you should all watch it tomorrow.

I'm just really, really concerned, Ron, that you'll pull an April 1st prank on us this year. You've been building up anticipation for years now, denying your practice of the 'prank'. It's the perfect setup. I'm keeping my eye on you and your shallow attempts at misdirection.

I don't think Ron would post a note on this so far ahead. Further research needed on the timing relationship between Ron's posts and their relevance to an event in the world.

That or the guilt of not making adventure games to keep us entertained for the last 17 years has driven him mad.

Really its a good news.This site has lots of advantage. I found many interesting things from this site. I like it very much. Its so interesting.I want to sharing this topic with some of my close friends. So thanks this post.
