Just finished The Curse of Monkey Island™ on GOG.com[^] (sorry, that's not meant to be an ad)
I've been wanting to play this one again for years, but the disc I have doesn't run on any PC I've had for the last ten years or so (may be the disc that's damaged).
I'd say it's still as enjoyable as it was when I was 11 years old, except it was better as my English improved and I got more of the jokes 
Good old times!

Or has one monkey ripped the heads off of two of your friends?
|
|

|

Did you just call my friends monkeys?
That's not very nice 
Also, I consider everyone on CP my friend

Glorified monkeys, all of us.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

On Steam you can buy the first en second version reworked with better graphics I think.
Indeed one of the best point & click adventures out there.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah GOG has them too, you can switch between new graphics and original graphics, but I've never played them.
I'll replay the fourth if they release it though

First game to hold my attension to be able to finish it, also I was not able to die in it (the usual out come of me playing). Is Guy Brushthreepwood immortal ?  , the graphics used and old VGA driver that might not be compatible with modern video standards, hmmm...

The move is completed and we have learned....
In this company, there are two kinds of developers.
Those that came to work here after we still needed to collect technical books (AG After Google)
Those that worked here when we still needed to collect technical books. (BG Before Google)
..They are the ones with the 55 gallon disposal bins next to their cubes.

The 55 gallons bin are out dated text books. After Google, books, especially tutorial and technical manual are no longer needed.
Just the other day our IT was being smart and change proxy in the middle of the day and cut off all our internet access. I can't do a squad, went home and work from home, because I need Google!!!

Why would you, if you can just post your query here?
Those who only react to circumstances can Google; the rest are those who prepare, read and study

You'd be rather limited; tutorials on the internet do not undergo the same screening as most books do. On most topics, the stuff that you Google would be unordered and fragmented, with the scope being based on your personal understanding - you might skip a few rather important things.
That's how we ended up with VB6-forms that concatenate a string to form a query to check your password - people who are programming based on what tutorials they can Google

HAve to agree - most online tutorials seems to be written by people who can't teach (or even communicate in some cases), and who don;t appear to know the subject in any detail. Many seem to have "working code" but no real idea why it works or how they got it.
Video tutorials on YouTube are the worst.
And sausages are the wurst.

I can't agree more. Video in general is a bad medium for learning programming in my opinion. Re-reading a chapter or paragraph for better comprehension feels natural. Skipping back multiple times to find the exact time someone started talking about a topic is irritating at best. Not to even mention the content quality.

I'm not really a fan of writing in books, but occasionally a scribbled note has reduced the amount of kicking-myself over the years, particularly for technologies I don't use every year -- such as Perl and XSLT.
