http://www.mixnmojo.com/ states that LucasArts Entertainment Company is no more. Well, its just had a name change. No longer will it be called LucasArts Entertainment Company... but now... LucasArts. But the full name is LucasArts, a Lucasfilm Ltd. Company.
No longer will you be allowed to call it LEC, but LA or LAALFLC is the way to go.
You will be flamed for not adhering to the new acronyms now stated. You have been warned.
;)
oh well, shit happens.
Great. I was gonna call one of the places in my game "H.E.C." as a parody, but now it'd be pointless. Dammit. :P Guess I'll call it something else now...
/me considers a parody of "LucasArts"...but fails miserably.
Bah -- Uncle George has so much cash he can change it to whatever he wants.
"Holy crap! I just found a 2 million dollars in my breadbox! Time for a name change!"
What the hell? How random. Maybe this is how the company has stayed alive so long, they just change their name around a bit and it stays fresh.
...or not. The name change is one thing, but this merger rather frightens me. I know this isn't exactly news anymore, but I find it slightly worrying that, while licensing has never been something George is stingy about, it'll probably be even easier now.
I've noticed in a few older games it has LucasArts LLC
which is what you just mentioned, I think in GF and CMI it's called that already so it can't be that new.
Last Crusade was made by LF.
Grim Fandango by LEC.
Sam and Max 2 will be made by LA.
Which brings me to the question, can YOU adhere to the guidelines Scummbuddy? A certain thread (http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=5662) springs to mind.
Thats why I also wrote LA in the subject title. If I just wrote LA, then no one would know what I was talking about, nor would they care to look or reply to the thread.... ;D
Speaking of which, Full Throttle 2 is looking incredibly horrible! What a surprise!
Not only do the graphics look like, five years out of date, but the genii who came up EMI are involved!
I am lactating with anticipation!

I can't bloody believe it. It's the ugliest piece of ass I've seen in ages, Ben is SMILING of all things, and the press release has things like "over 40 strategically placed weapons"--what the hell is this!? I don't know if it's wrong to hate a game this far in advance, but I do.
Send stenchie after them :(
Leave Ben alone!
My company kicked LEC's and Sierras companies buts.
HOLY SHIT YAHTZEE IS BACK
Could be a false Yahtzee. Then again, looking at the profile... Who else could possibly know that Yahtzee speaks English? It must be him.

But would the real Yahtzee misspell butt? Would he? Stay tuned for next weeks episode to find out.
Oh yes, and would he put "Im back." in there instead of "I'm back."
These forums haven't changed a bit. I can see that Trapezoid still has his witty sense of humor.

Would Yahtzee spell humor without a "u"? Hmm.
I don't seem to remember you.
And also, I seem to remember that I only really joined the forums after Yahtzee left. But I could be wrong.
In any case, welcome to AGSforums, person registered as Yahtzee.
You remember Trapezoid, but not ._.? Trap and ._. both joined after you left...
Do you believe I'm stupid? I always come here to check what people are saying, about me.
Yet, you are astonished how everybody is doing...this isn't the real Yahtzee. I have yet to hear him say arse.
You weren't here during my time. If it makes you feel better, arse.
Hmmm. And what about bollocks?That was a word often said in RB. I don't think that this is the real Yahtzee, there is nothing about him returning at fullyramblomatic.com, I'm sure he would mention something about it.
I have yet to see a grand, 300 word post on why he's back.
Indeed.
I say we debate it endlessly.
Back to topic, to me that company/division/team/whatever is called LucasFilm Games (TM) forever...

You mean, MonkeyGames Entertainment? ;D (That is if you're the real Yahtzee and not Bizarro Yahtzee.)
In other news, MonkeyGames Entertainment is now MonkeyGames Entertainment Company, or MEC! long live the "entertainment company" part :P
I just watched the end credits of CMI and I wasn't wrong when I said it was LLC, it is "LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC"
So LEC was just short for "LEC LLC"
It's just a division of a company that figured it needed a name change, or other people are involved or both.
I don't really care it doesn't change much.
Welcome back Yahtzee if it is really you, not that you know me.
And if it's someone trying to make a lame joke, just give it the fuck up, not a smart move, and if so don't reveal who you are, just give up quietly.
Yahtzee's humor seems different somehow.
BAH!
Next thing you know they'll (insert humorous one-liner here)!
Everyone should just go back to making pure adventures again, like Snake Pit Entertainment (SPE)

That's what I meant was wrong, the (LA) bit. The games mentioned in that article were all made by LEC as it were.
*pedant*

Esseb: Shh! ;)

I see. So this Yahtzee fake must hack into forums and delete messages!
It would be so funny if we all suspected this Yahtzee to be phil reed and we triued to pull off his mask but then phil reed walked in nd we'd be like fuck and yahtzee would be like yuo hvae ofefedend me and we'd be like dont hurt us oh great one then hed say okay then fly to austrailia and get bitten by a snake and wed be like ha ha you got bitten by a snake and he be like wah wah your not my friends any more then the earth would be like kaboom and....yeah, that would be funny. :-[
So I'm confused, Is LucasArts what was originally known as LucasArts Entertainment Company ? And, is LucasArts the same company that made Monkey Island?
:P
m0ds
Lucas Film made MI
begat Lucas Arts Entertainment Company
begat Lucas Arts, a Lucas Film ltd company.
Same company, cosmetic changes to names.
I'm not sure why it was brought up.
I've added my two-cents on to FullyRamblomatic's forum -- I hope I sound at least a little diplomatic.
No more Yahtzee-feuding -- he's got better things to do and so de we.
http://pub78.ezboard.com/fyahtzeetakesontheworldfrm1.showMessage?topicID=225.topic
And to the Yahtzee impersonator: Haven't you got better things to do with your time?
well... that proves it for me. thats a fake Yahtzee.I wish I was here earlier to meet the REAL Yahtzee so that I could here some of his jokes and h(umour)umor. Too bad he never returned.
He returned, but it turned into mayhem.
I am not excluded from that either.
Sigh. Oh well. His games are great, and he deserved the award.
Hey! Look at me! I'm debating endlessly!

But also Las, as I mentioned it was already
Lucas Arts Entertainment Company a Lucas Film ltd company.
They've just dropped the EC
But To be honest I couldn't give a flying fuck through a rolling donut
exactly :)
But I got to use Biblical terminology.
I say that the fake Yahtzee is Hosamov, I recognise his style (he didn't do his research!). Also, I have a suspicion that Hosamov was Hitler in his past life.
I don't care who the fake Yahtzee is, just as long as he or she stops.
It's unfair to Yahtzee -- He's not a part of the community anymore, so why bring him up in a post that has absolutely nothing to do with him.
Ringle-dingle-ding, here comes the gen-gen Gestapo... either everyone gets back on topic or this thread gets locked ;)
Meh, I don't mind. It's run its course. Lock away...
So back to LucasArts. (I hope I get a medal for returning this thread to it's subject!)
Never!!! Teh fake yahtzee also posted in the mofo announcements forum announcing Orb Blank 4. What an assclown
The Yahtzee Post in the Announcements forum is locked.
So will this thread if anyone mentions Yahtzee again.
Arghh... i go on holidays for a week, and come back and see a thread that 'LEC is no more'. That got be scared...
so... about yahtzee... :P
so, what do we call LucasArts now? LA or LCA or what? I AM SO CONFUSED!!! ah well LucasArts doesnt have anything good in the making anyway...
Just FYI, I know who did the fake Yahtzee, and as I'm assuming it was only intended as a light-hearted joke I'll take the matter no further. But please, no more of this silliness.
