They haven&#8217;t even begun hinting that they might talk about it. I suspect they&#8217;re spending all their time on Battleborn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>0:33:30: Adventure Games<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Note that when I talk about the Monkey Island intro, I&#8217;m not talking about the modern remakes and remixes.
