Gloria in excelsis 16 Aug, 2005 / Comments: 12


Centuries ago the hulking Idle Thumbs cornered Ron Gilbert in a seedy alley-way and interviewed him for cheap thrills. Now, in 2005, the concluding part of the interview has been published online for all to read.
"I remember back when I was doing Maniac Mansion, I wanted to use the word "shit" in it... I went to the guy who was running the games division at the time, and I wanted, you know, I wanted to say 'shit.' It was really important to me, part of 'the artistic expression of the game.' ...it was really interesting.?

Ron also shows how he fondly remembers Mojo interviewing him, back in the day - "I don't remember", he jokes - and spews some more of that loveable grumpiness, on, er, just about everything. Check it out here, and don?t forget to read part one and two if you haven?t already.

    I've noticed that lately, he hasn't come off as much of a dick as he used to in older interviews.

    It could just be that we caught him in person.

    Ok, that image is just disturbing.

    It could be more disturbing if you'd like!

    Please. None of you are Mofa III-worthy.
