To celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day, the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island is free Friday afternoon through sometime Saturday (I think) I don't know if it will be free on Steam It's not available on Steam, but you'll be able to get it here when the time comes. Update: It's available now, go get it.Updated Update: It's all over, folks. Nothing to see here, go home to your families.

Awesome Whatsit. This will be kinda cool, as I'm finishing up the original Secret of Monkey Island for the first time, well not the original per se but the Special Edition.. sad I never played it before but hey, better late than never.
Thanks for sharing the info.

Is it a timed copy that runs out? Or is it actually the whole free game?

From the site:
It's the first episode of this 5-episode game, and it's playable even after the day ends.
Clarification: You must install it, run it, and log in once. From then on, it's free forever.

Spoilered the following for... Well, spoilers. Couldn't find the spoiler button so I just made the text really small. Couldn't make it small enough to be unreadable and white text was still visible so I made it really small and white. Copy the text into something else to read it. Check it if you have already beaten this and think you could help.
Spoiler text, highlight to read. [Ok so I have the map and the eye of the manatee and I followed the wind and everything but one of the things that map shows is that odd circular calendar and no matter which direction I go from the screen with it I fail and go back to the starting point. What do I do with the calendar?]
Edit by faded: fixed your spoiler text. (Quote or Edit to see how I did it)

What do I do with the calendar?] Spoiler'd! [ You have to walk around the calendar in the direction shown by the arrow on the map. It's a little fuzzy, but I think you have to walk around just outside the calendar. There should be a chime or something when you've done it right. Then you can leave the screen via the next direction.] Big thanks, Faded, for knowing how to do spoiler text and being generally awesome!

Just so you guys know, the spoiler text should be the same color as your post's background. It alternates between and .

Shit, you're right. I just assumed it was white. Oops. Well, halfway between f6f6f6 and efefef is f3f3f3, so if you don't want to bother with figuring out which background you'll have, just and you should be fine.

You'd probably be fine just using white, I don't think it would contrast well enough against #efefef to be readable anyway.
Colortest
See?
Anyway, I hate dislike intensely all of you who happened to snag this.

So I've finished the free chapter and uh... well, I want more. But I'm not going to buy more. Any chance they'll be releasing the remaining chapters as they did first (I know, I know - unlikely)??

I picked it up but I haven't played it much yet. The controls kinda bother me. Though Rootgrog does sound strangely enticing.
