What’s that smell?!

Pegnose Pete is a villain and major character in Escape from Monkey Island. A career criminal, at the time the game is set Pegnose is wanted in connection with approximately three hundred Lucre Island thefts, and has never been caught. His home is a tiny shack in the heart of the Mysts o’ Tyme Marshe. Until Guybrush Threepwood arrives on Lucre Island, Pegnose was the only person capable of navigating around the Marshe. His one weakness was a crippling fear of ducks, rumoured to be due to a duck nibbling off his nose. When Guybrush asks Pegnose whether a duck really did nibble off his nose, Pegnose refuses to answer.

In a recent poll on the Telltale Games Forums, Pegnose scored only one vote out of 86 for “Who is your best villain (except LeChuck)?”. Not very popular, eh?

Ummm, enjoy, I guess?

Vote for LeChuck, as he struggles to be recognized as the All Time Greatest Game Villain! His opponent is currently Akuma from Super Street Fighter! Don’t let him win!

Here is the link! Go go go!

UPDATE: LeChuck lost, with a difference of +8000 votes against him. Well, better luck next time!

This week, the doc is taking a small break.

(an experiment went wrong and the stuff behind the sofa exploded, maybe Gustav was behind all this… although he was not behind the sofa, anyway)

Let’s continue, shall we?

Oh…apologies for the lack of subtitles. Kauff almost ran out of time, but he promises to make it up to you by showing you some special bloopers next week!

Ozzie Mandrill is the second primary villain of Escape from Monkey Island and the head of Ozzie Mandrill Enterprises. He is a ruthless Australian business man whose sole goal in life is the gathering of wealth. With LeChuck, Ozzie orchestrates a sinister conspiracy to seize control of the Caribbean and extend his enterprises though crime, political manipulation, and deception. Ozzie’s wealth and lifestyle makes it very easy for him to cover his tracks and never be connected to any crime, including attempted murder, frame up, and conspiracy. He also plays integrally into the disappearance of H. T. Marley, the man who unintentionally started Ozzie’s obsession for power and money in the Caribbean.

Uh-oh… what’s on tv?

Another Monkeyologist episode. Yes. Nothing special.

Thank you for sending so many questions! The doctor will answer each and every one of them soon… remember that he still has some left from six months ago. It’s not nice to leave questions unanswered. Though, you can still ask away!

“There’s a Monkey in My Pocket” is a popular children’s song that Guybrush Threepwood sings on a couple of occasions.

In The Curse of Monkey Island Guybrush sings the song to Edward Van Helgen in the Barbery Coast to audition to join their barbershop quartet. Van Helgen is disgusted with Guybrush’s singing and vehemently refuses.

Oh, there’s a monkey in my pocket,

And he’s stealing all my change,

His stare is blank and glassy,

I suspect that he’s deranged…

In the fourth episode of Tales of Monkey Island, Guybrush sings a slightly different version of this song when he examines Jaques, the electromagnetic monkey, in his inventory.

Oh, there’s a monkey in my pocket,

He’s attracting all my change,

His tail is a magnet,

And I think that he’s got mange…

Recently, Chuck Jordan (the guy that wrote the original lyrics) told the fans that there was a super-ultra-secret second verse to the song, which he wrote just in case they needed it.
