Disney shut down LucasArts.... looks like Star Wars Battlefront 3 ain't never happening.

Aw man, I was excited for 1313. Come on, Disney, what are you doing?

I agree. This is bullshit.

No. What IS bullshit is that now there's no chance to see a Monkey Island game by Ron Gilbert anymore. Man, I really hoped they did it, even Gilbert himself said that he disliked the fact that he couldn't get the rights of the series to make another one now they belonged to Disney.

Oh well. Here's hoping for Hannah Montana Island.

I have to start OoT from the beginning since I had to wipe my computer. I'm now playing it with my PS3 controller and walking that small bloody walkway in Kokiri village is so much easier !

The Canadian government has been playing a little too much Majora's Mask.

Yes I know the reference isn't the strongest, but it amused me.

Well one good thing came of Lucas Arts getting shut down, Raven Software decided to do this.

But...but, the only way to even get to the fourth day in Majora is to cheat or hack. You're not suggesting a governmental power would ever cheat, are you? There's no way any government would ever do such things.

So the first DLC is an electric power charging station with a huge NISSAN plastered on it. Now, other than taking up space, there seems to be no downsides: it uses no water, requires no electricity, and produces no waste. It's a perpetual happy machine.

Now I know what you're thinking... why complain about a free and completely beneficial building? Well, think about it: if people would definitely place a building with no downsides, why not satisfy your advertisers by including them in it? That way, other people that help out their cities can see that huge NISSAN right there and possibly convince to buy the new Leaf at their local dealerships! So all this is just a ploy to make their advertisers look good, because after all, they'd never go for a building with negative attributes.

I expect Taco Bell buildings that cause no health issues and Wal-Marts that make no negative impact on small businesses in the future. I hope we all have fun making our cities into billboard boulevards. Thanks EA!
