Doesn't anyone around here know about LGS past???
Im not sure what you mean here but yes, in fact I do know that Looking Glass Studios is defunct. I was commenting that perhaps some where in the late ninties, some guys who made a video game were clever to put latin, or greek names in it.

What does Eidos have to do with a game that was developed by LGS?
Well sorry I could not remember who made thief or who developed it. I'm not freakin Encyclopedia Britannica, here.

I think most of the people at LGS were just well-read and decided to put some little Latin references hither and thither.

This is exactly what I mean! I was not referring to the fact that they are defunct...
Looking Glass Studios/Blue Sky created the first true first person freelook... back in the 80's.....
They weren't just "some guys", they were freakin' geniuses!!!!!

IIRC correctly that honor goes to "Driller" from Incentive, who, as far as I know, had no connection to Looking Glass.
