Stop the planet of the developers I want to get off

     I interrupt my regularly scheduled schlock (shu-lok) to remember a legend. No, not Ebert, but he picked a pretty shitty time to die. I'm talking about LucasArts. Y'know, the fantastic folks behind Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and about eight thousand Star Wars games. Even the terrible-est ones. Like Force Unleashed. But yeah the people who made Day of the Tentacle and a few other adventure game gems have been re purposed by Disney as a dev they can mold into whatever notsogreat licensed game they want. (Great). I know that for all intents and purposes they were way past their prime, I mean, they DID make Kinect Star Wars, but the next project they would be working on, 1313, had some folks pretty excited nonetheless. It's just weird, I guess, to see an industry constant like LucasArts die so suddenly. It's basically worse than 9/11.

Or something
