September 19 is a very important day, and one all Monkey Island fans should celebrate: that’s right, it’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day! But is running around all day saying things like “scalawag” not enough? No problem, TellTale and LucasArts has you covered!

All day Saturday, September 19, you can download the first episode of The Tales of Monkey Island, The Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, for FREE. Just visit http://www.playlikeapirate.com/. You can also purchase the entire season (all five episodes) for the discounted rate of $29.95. TellTale also promises something “special” for those who have already purchased the game.

LucasArts will be extending the festivities out to the entire weekend, giving you through September 21 to take advantage of their special celebratory offers. You can save 50% on The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, whether it is the iPhone/iPod version or the PC (via Steam or Direct2Drive).

If, like me, you’ve already partaken of the above, and are anxiously awaiting the next installment in the Tales of Monkey Island series, don’t worry: The Lair of the Leviathan will arrive on September 29. It’s certain to be a gut-renching experience, as Guybrush gets in deep (literally!) as his quest for the voodoo exfoliating La Esponja Grande takes a scenic twist — through the guts of a giant manatee! For more information on the series, visit http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland.
