Yes, there was a lot of humor in Pandora directive at least. Tex was often 
quite funny and so was Rook, the owner of the Pawn shop. I liked him. I saw 
from a trailer of Tesla that Rook is in Tesla, and so is the guy who ran the 
Brew and Stew, and I think the guy called Archie in Pandora is in Tesla.

You will eventually get to Broken sword 5. I think you will like it. I have 
never heard of Child of Light but I don't usually play RPG games. Havent 
played many adventure games for a while either, but I'm glad to see Tesla 
and Broken sword 5  :)
