Which Aglamians, past or present, would resmble MI characters the most? I 
would have to associate myself with 'Blind Dave', since I am indeed visually 
challenged.

I wonder who, for example, would be best described as 'Marquis de singe'!

Perhaps I should refrain from replying to this until after I play the 
first two Monkey Island games, but from the characters that I know, I 
think I am most like the Lost Welshman. Well, I would like to be at 
least. 

Pixel would be a good Guybrush I think, because he is tall, thin and 
had long hair as well. DG I've always imagined Glottis, even though 
that is a character from another LucasBastards game.

Does the new game actually introduce any new characters besides 
Batman?

Oh, and Daffy is an easy one of course, since being the lost Welshman 
I have to take passengers to him all the time. He's not exactly what 
you would call a Monkey Island character however.

The action, mostly, takes place on Flotsam island, so I think the new 
characters will be only in that episode, unless Pixel, I mean Guybrush 
returns there. Of course the voodoo lady turns up. There's a couple of nice 
puzzles, two similar audio/visual ones, and one in the surgery of the 
Marquis de Singe.

I'm looking forward to episode 2.

MacSporran doesn't look like a skull at all:

Some of the puzzles I was expecting more from. Like when you have to get 
a [some wacky device] and I'm thinking "I'm going to have to collect 
bits and build one of those", as in previous games. Then it turns out 
you just have to steal it.

I think that this is caused by the brevity of the episode.  Even one 
character is there for the sole purpose of giving Guybrush 'the eye' to read 
a map! Better not say any more! I thought that the puzzles that were there 
were good, especially in the surgery.
