The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: ... and it hits the fan

So in the wake of LucasArts shocking announcements the world as we know it has changed... forever. No, really! Just check it out...

Wibble Wobble Hat Stand - LEC Hate Central: Got LucasArts/Sam & Max related hate art you'd like to contribute? Wibble Wobble Hat Stand is just what it claims to be - LEC Hate Central. ;D

Gamespot is currently running a poll which reads "Are you sad LucasArts has canceled the Sam & Max sequel?" 59% currently says "Yes, I am damn it!" after some massive linking from the adventure community.

Mixnmojo, long time LucasArts fanboy central, boldly states that "we'll probably be scaling back on the current LucasArts coverage a bit" and that they will "be focusing on news about the LucasArts community, Tim Schafer's upcoming game Psychonauts, and maybe some more ranty editorials." Yeah, take that suits! Maybe we'll just turn our site into The Drunken Druid and focus on Simon the Sorceror. Oh wait... � �

Finally, we rarely sign petitions, but we made an exception for this one. At the time of writing more than 2000 people have signed to vent their frustrations with LucasArts. Yeah, ok, it probably won't make a difference, but hey...

THANK GOD! Im really impressed that there's an active rebellion against this appauling decision. GOOD ON YER! petiton No. 2049 - and damn well proud of it

Johners, dude. LucasTones has real human excretion in his image, I have a picture of the ex-president being crucified, Thrik has the LucasArts management team depicted as Nazis and GregD did Sam and Max pulling the middle finger. Basically, you can do whatever you like. :) Send it to my usual SCUMM Bar address. Thanks!

:D HAHA!!!!! U got it! nice 1!

It might not be real human excrement.. but I think it is :(

well, its not something Id do, but I kinda admire his spirit and courage. Legend. If thats not dedication 2 the cause, I dont know what is. Ummmmm, although saying that, if there is something more couragous then that, I prob dont wana c it. excrement is prob my limit. Sorry, Im not as die hard, but Im trying my best.

Haha, and remio's choice of topic title 'hits the fan'. didnt notice that b4!

someone should tell LEC that april fools isn't until next month... then they can do all the cancellations they want, since no one would believe them

Posted Mar 04, 2004

Are you going 2 send the Wibble Wobble Hat Stand link 2 Lucarse Arts? I think it would be a gr8 laugh 2 c their responce 2 all of this and hear what they've got 2 say about this outrage

I don't think they'd appreciate it. They could probably come down pretty hard, as the song by Insofox (hilarious) uses their tune, and most of the images feature their copyright artwork.

Posted Mar 05, 2004

Ah, very true indeed. O well, was a stupid thought in hindsight! Oh, and the petition has doubled - we're up 2 4021 signitures now!

Posted Mar 05, 2004

Judging by the fact that I've had 5500 hits from LUcasArts alone already (they're my biggest visitor), I think it's pretty safe to say that they're aware that it exists. :)

Posted Mar 05, 2004

HAHA!!!! Lets hope they take stock of wots going on and how big a mistake they've made
