This is, believe it or not, not a joke. I mean, there's even a trailer!

And it's not even 2015!
Updated graphics, re-recorded music, and voice overs, and you can also play the original version, and seamlessly swap between them during gameplay. And yes, Dom is back as the voice of Guybrush. Check out Mojo for more, and look forward to a new section on this very site very soon.
I've been wondering about this since Christmas, but isn't this pretty much LeChuck's Theme? Did Kohl borrow it?

No, not a hidden easter-egg or anything like the dog close-up that never was in The Secret of Monkey Island, but apparently there were plans to include some The Secret of Monkey Island-style close-ups of LeChuck in LeChuck's Revenge. At least if this post about the new Rogue Leaders book is anything to go by. We don\'t have a scan yet, but hopefully will be able to get a hold of it soon.
Speaking of Rogue Leaders -- why don\'t you go win one?!
So let's talk about Ron 'Ronzo' Gilbert himself's new game, Deathspank. While we don't know a whole lot about it yet, it is (apparently) an adventure/RPG/action game hybrid and has been described as "Monkey Island meets Diablo." That doesn't necessarily say a whole lot, and through three (albeit funny) teasers have been released, no gameplay footage has yet to be seen.
The more interesting aspect will be to see how Ronzo's first "adult" post-Monkey Island will work out. While co-scribes Schafer and Grossman both have proved themselves with multiple games over the past 15 or so years, there have been some murmurs about how well Ronzo himself will do.
For now, there's no way of knowing, but we'll be following DeathSpank closely here at the Bar.

I don't go clubbing as much as I did in my younger, hipper days, but I would certainly get down to something like this.
