Sounds like you have a grudge.
Do you have a story to start us off with?

I sent George Lucas an email once telling him I'd be perfect for the role of Anakin Skywalker in the prequels.

Can you believe those sons of bitches never replied!?!?!

I'm never playing Monkey Island again!!!

Well, The Infernal Machine refused to ever run in any meaningful sort of way for me, so I guess you could call that a case of cheating me out of a few bills.

And all those awful Star Wars games must count as a scam of some sorts.

Never had an opportunity to be ignored by them though. How does that happen?

How can you complain atleast 2 years without pause and compress that into 2 words?

Star Wars.

Star Wars.

Meh, basically the same thing, but less enjoyable.

Personally I think they should have gotten McCauley Culkin to play Anakin. It's the role that could have saved his career!

Hmm, not that I can think of. I mean, I did meet Tim Schafer in a bar once and told him that his idea had already been done in Duke Nuken 3D and told him about my dream where the world was populated by mexican macrame skeletons and what an awesome game that was, shortly before he smashed my kneecaps with an iron bar and left me in an alley for dead, but I never thought much of it.
