It's great to see Dave interviewed. I really enjoyed the chat, thanks! Great that this channel exists, and Dave seemed to enjoy himself. One minor niggle: can I suggest more research? It's easy to look up when Lucas sold his company to Disney (2012) and when Tales of Monkey Island was released (2009). And Ron's Tweet read: "It would be fun to do a Maniac Mansion remaster..." Nothing to do with a Day of the Tentacle sequel (remember that Ron left LucasArts after MI2 and so didn't work on DOTT -- although I'd love to hear whether he helped with the *beginnings* of that game. I don't think anyone has ever asked that question). Anyway, great job! Always wonderful to hear from a LucasArts legend. Keep up the good work!

Wow!!! A must watch interview. Thank you.

I'd grab a drink with Bowser. I want to get to the bottom of his obsession with princess peach and understand the psychological issues behind why he just can't let go, despite so many failed attempts. There's obviously some kind of really deep pain inside that he's trying to fill, sadly in unproductive and destructive ways - perhaps it's a traumatic event in his past, abusive parents, and/or a substance addiction. Maybe I could even try to help him. There's other princesses out there and perhaps he could find someone more his type.

Nothing on thimbleweed park ... he was not on it. It is a pity.
