Ron Gilbert Joins Double Fine (Now It's More Like Triple Fine)

Back in the heyday of PC gaming LucasArts was one of the top dogs. Whether it was with Star Wars games like "X-Wing" "Tie Fighter" or their comedic adventure games like "Day of the Tentacle" "Maniac Mansion 2" and "Full Throttle". Two of the devs from LucasArts, Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert went on to become renowned funny-men of the comedic genre. Things have now gone full circle as Ron Gilbert has joined Schafer at Double Fine Games which is a major pickup for the San Francisco based developer. Gilbert has more recently been known for his work on the smash hit "DeathSpank" while Schafer and Double Fine are at work on multiple "bite sized" titles. Their upcoming title "Costume Quest" will be released on Halloween and from the way it looks, DF will make more money on that than they did on Brutal Legend. (Sad Face)
