Dominic Armato, voice of Guybrush Threepwood, has always loved LucasArts' adventure games, but there's one he still can't get into: 'I get 10 minutes in and I'm like, oh, this is tedious, man'

Dominic Armato, the voice behind Guybrush Threepwood, has always been a fan of LucasArts adventure games. However, there's one game he struggles to get into: Maniac Mansion. Armato admits, "I get 10 minutes in and I'm like, oh, this is tedious, man." Despite this, he remains a devoted LucasArts fan, having appeared in multiple Monkey Island games and even reprising his role as Guybrush Threepwood in recent remakes.

Armato has also dabbled in other roles, such as dining critic and food writing. Currently, he's enjoying the atmospheric puzzle game Chants of Sennaar, praising its immersive world and engaging puzzles. Despite his love for LucasArts, Maniac Mansion remains a game that eludes him, possibly due to its difficult-to-navigate text-based format.
