This is Ron Gilbert's ex-wife!
I don't see any mention of this on grumpygamer...
Still waiting for Purity of the Surf II

She was also producer on various LucasArts adventures.

The article quoted in the Game Developer post. (Thanks Idle Thumbs!)

Mercer Island. She was gonna buy a 3 million dollar house on Mercer Island? That's a rather short bus ride away for me. Heh. Could egg the living @#$% out of it if she'd actually gotten it...  ;D

Or you could just not egg the living andhashdollarpercent out of it and stay law-abiding while she goes to jail.

Is it really his ex-wife? Is this why they conveniently left LucasArts together and conveniently started a company?

Why would he say anything in his site? that's personal business.

Well that was silly! Quite shocking, too :o

Ron, on the D-Lo, is probably fuming! :P

Yea, and she would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddeling kids!
When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand box. I was an only child... eventually.

It's ok everyone! I ran some tests on that post and the moderators met for an emergency meeting at the secret volcano base and we've come to the conclusion that RocketGirl was joking.

I know, crazy as it seems someone was making a joke on the internet, what will the kids think of next!

The same thing happened to the Superfriends when the Riddler sent them one of his dastardly riddles.

"Ho, ho, ho, " laughed Batman, "Obviously a joke, just like the kind you get out of Christmas crackers."

Next thing you know, Gothom's First National Bank was cleaned dry. The Legion of Doom later bought an island in the Bahamas where they received daily hot oil rubdowns from the Swedish bikini team.

Also... "Solomon Grundy drink coconut juice."

You make a convincing argument.
