Control qualifies under the “every frame a painting,” category, which is a rarity. Gonna mention season 2 of Arcane, since I only just finally caught up.
The ashtray maze is one of those sequences that sticks with you. Like the dune buggy run in Half-Life 2, the escape from Wheatley in Portal 2, Reaper vs. Thresher Maw in Mass Effect 3 (less so any action on the part of the player, but goosebumps all the same), and the intro mission from Doom 2016.
I usually find out when someone else points it out in the comments. By now, it’s more of a character trait and just roll with it.
It was a cereal box type demo! That’s the only section you could play. Fuck if I know what the proper game was without looking it up.
Fucking hell. There’s a memory unlocked. Also can’t remember the name, but yeah, that one.
Does it feed on blood and have a sassy baritone singing voice?
Oddly, I’m a 13th gen Mayflower. They liked to keep cranking 'em out for a while I guess. Might also explain the offshoot that became Mormon. We don’t associate with them.
Mayflower material, eh?
Films aside, I can still hear the TV theme song in my head.
Toxie is a damned hero and I won’t hear otherwise. Jr can save it.
Reminds me of Scarface era Miami.
Needs some palm trees.
I was thankful enough to have a tandem 7th-8th grade combo of English and History teachers who taught us the value of cognitive awareness. Followed by a high school math teacher that introduced me to “A True History of the United States” because they actually gave a damn. It’s far too easy to see that we are the new Roman Empire, but on a speed run.
Bonus: It wasn’t the game that stripped them.
Always loved this piece of trivia. Another creepy game workaround is Skyrim’s Dead Body Cleanup Cell.
The Dead Body Cleanup Cell is a cross-shaped room where most characters encountered will appear when killed.
Bit confusing and overly poetic at times, but damn pretty to look at.
