Excellent news, but mostly for Denny Delk coming back to voice him. Oh, and I'm betting Curse of Monkey Island's Stan (Patrick Pinney) coming back, as he's doing him again in Secret of Monkey Island SE.

It would have been, but Telltale spoiled it themselves on Twitter and on the Telltale boards. And as it's our duty to report on Monkey island info - especially that that's just proken as official/public knowledge, I guess all I can say is if you want to remain totally unspoiled for the rest of the season, you'll have to go and live under a rock. Or at least avoid all your favourite gaming sites.

Whoa Nelly, where's the hostility coming from? I'm not suggesting Mojo is at fault for reporting this, I just meant it would have been totally sweet if Murray turned up in an episode completely unannounced.

Yeah, to be honest I was in two minds whether to post this when I first saw Denny Delk's thing, but when TTG followed up... well, anything officially announced is fair game.

Dude, I wasn't trying to be hostile! Not in the least, just writing a full explanation for others (hai Kroms) who are also trying to avoid spoilers. Sorry if it came across that way. :(

He's never been my favourite character, but I don't object to his presence.

Wot, does Kroms hate Murray? Then I hate him and everything he stands for! Just kidding, I love him really, as I love all of God's children.

No, he was pretty pissed off that I spoiled Narwhal by mentioning "the puzzle that involves a monkey" prior to the public release date. I can only imagine his impending rage at being spoiled about a classic character's return. Heh.

There used to be a town called Jacksonville next to London. It's not there anymore. You can look it up. Their blood is on YOUR hands. (PS: You know I was totally kidding about the "spoiler" for Narwhal, right? I kind of thought it was obvious...)

It's not like my intent was misread in this very news item's comments, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. ;-) But I'm wary not to drop a spoon in a diner.

Well, for his return to be spoiled is a bit of a shame, although I was expecting it in the very first chapter to be honest!
