Dear Grumpy Gamer readers:
Don't write any comment, so that Ron stop wasting his time and go work on his new game.

Thank you.

PS: Ron, stop wasting your time and go work on your new game.

I think Ron Gilbert has the bossiest fans of any game developer ever.

This is because the other developers make their games. They cdon't need their fans to ask them for it.

That is not true.
Ron  made Total Annihilation, in, humm, 1997...

Dear blog visitors,
please write more comments so I don't have to work.
Thank you.

PS: I was just kidding. I think I'm gonna go work on my new game right now. You can post how many comments you want, because I won't read them anymore.

PPS: Just kidding, I read every comment.

PPPS: I mean, I used to read every comment in the past. But for now on, I'll work on my new game nonstop.

Remember, I read every comment.  Twice.

AND he knows if you've been good or bad.

AND he knows when your sleeping, he knows when you're awake.

I have to congrat you. You really know how to avoid working.

Yeah and you also seem to be a hard working blog reader, Gorbachov.

I do what I can to skip my dutyes here at UN...

Everyone knows that. ;)

Ron, this is far too large a revelation to just trot out in a six line post during the holiday season.

Being the emotive type, this revelation has triggered an epic saga to unfold in my mind, one of art and romance, and of two lives intertwined. Those first awkward babysitting beginnings. The day she held you spellbound by telling you her idea of a pirate adventure game. The day she got her big break finally making it. The day she moved away. The day you got your first job at lucasfilm and tried to find out where she had gone. The day you decided that you must make a game that she can be proud of.  Years in isolation. Emotional reunions. The glory, the tragedy.

Do you think you will ever write a book about it?

maybe you can :)

This reminds me of when, after playing Gabriel Knight II, I bought a book about the Mad King Ludwig II, famous for constructing his magnificent and expensive as hell castles, and somewhere on the first couple pages was a picture of him as a child, constructing castles out of toy blocks.

Another interesting thing is that everybody loves Plundered Hearts. This was proven conslusively more than 10 years ago, so it's far too late to start disagreeing now. :-)

WFC!

Did you play Sam & Max : Reality 2.0 (episode 5)? There's a part of the game that's a text adventure! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_2.0

I just got done watching "the smarter brother of sherlock holmes" and I was wondering if the swordfighting machine in Monkey Insland 1 were somewhat based on the one used by Gene Wilder in the movie

Mmmh... they've been talking about this documentary for ages on if newsgroups. Is it nearly done?

that movie is gonna be released just a few weeks after Ron's new game.

Half-past never?  Only joking, I hope it will be worth the wait as much as Rons next offereing

I just saw this and it instantly made me think of this post

Oh yeah?  Well, my sister used to babysit Mike Stemmle when we were kids (I know this sounds like I'm making it up, but it's actually 100% true.  I, however, only knew of him as "that little Stemmle kid" and don't believe I ever spoke to him until working at LucasArts).

Dr. Gilbert,

Please read my comment.  I would appreciate any thoughts or comments you might have.

Love,

Mapslinger

Loved Amy's work. Although I always found it strange that a guy named Jean Lafond would be of British origin.
