That LucasArts Poll

Ok, so we didn't kick major bootay in last weeks LEC poll (you know the one - "Which of the following fan sites do you visit most often?" - the one in which you voted for us? right? right!), but 6% isn't all that bad. Take into consideration that we only write about Monkey Island, and add our host Mixnmojo's 10%... Well, we did quite respectably actually. View the results here.
This week, the poll reads "Vote for your favorite chat username for Guybrush Threepwood". Interestingly enough, "Skyfox" isn't an option.
