The giveaway goes on all day on the 19th, but through the 21st of September, they’re also giving gamers 50% off on the iPhone, Steam and Direct2Drive special editions of The Secret of Monkey Island. Hit ‘em up here come Talk Like a Pirate Day for the free stuff.
And for the record, I did try to write this entire post in pirate speak, but it caused me physical pain. If you want to take a crack at it below, I’ll award 10 to the would-be pirate translator who doesn’t make my head explode.
Tales of Monkey Island, Episode Three is on the way September 29.

uh…correct me if im wrong, but (from what i can see) on steam you can only purchase all 5 chapters at a bulk price of $34.99, so even if you do download this free version, you kinda pay for it later if you get the other chapters :S

A promotion that’s only valid on Sep 19th and announced on Sep 18th? That too, on a Friday?
Telltale games are you only targetting super-mega-ultimate hardcore gamers with nothing else to do?
This promotion was managed very badly, IMO
