I think he mentioned that it's so that if lego tried to sue him he wouldn't lose everything or something.

Look up LLC in an encyclopedia.

I'll give you a hint - it stands for limited liability company.

Also, it has no connection to garage games.

Achally they had a talk with badspot a while ago.And i think they could a lond time ago the avatars used to look like lego poeple.But now you atre right.

Badspot created Step 1: Games to protect his personal assets (IE. His home, car, etc) from being in danger should a company wish to sue him.

If they found that his game were in violation of a law (such as a violation of copyright law) then the maximum amount that he could lose would be whatever the company itself owns...in this case likely very little.

Essentially it is a widely, and understandably, used legal loophole to insure that you aren't taking on too much risk in starting a business in lawsuit-happy America.

If I remember correctly, LEGO approached him a long time ago about a position at the company, but ultimately they failed to contact him after a meeting. I guess they weren't interested.

Eric was approached by LEGO for a job, but soon after they had communicated, LEGO stopped responding.

Hate when teachers use that stuff. Yeah it's editable by anyone but on major articles they usually got mods that check every recent edit made and ban people who repeatedly edit.
This is why you can't write "YODA SUCKED MY rooster" on the Jedi article and expect it to be there after an hour.

Partizan's doing fine, thanks for asking.
Mojo is on Steam most of the time. He quit playing ever since retail came out. Grim is still around I believe. Don't remember Mexy.
You also forgot Pixie or something, she stopped playing too, along with NKL and Elliot. Zero is still around though.

I have to admit I don't remember you, Heph. Did you use to go by a different name?forget off, Irk clan was awesome.

Hmmm, I believe so.

Whatever.
