Did I ever tell you that you are my hero?
Fez said:PLANE TICKETS BITCH!!!
Seriously then, what is it? You are saying it is bullshit despite the fact it looks identical to STALKER. The characters in this are not all from major games or iconic, so STALKER is just as likely to be included as Silent Storm (one of the things the STALKER guy has stolen bolts from), which is not iconic at all apart from a few nerds here who hated the panzerklien anyway. How is Metal Mutants iconic either? It was obscure even back when it was released.
EvoG said:Haha...
Yea I edited my last post...I know it does look like Stalker, but I would NEVER associate Stalker with "bolts", especially a giant pile....thats whats not "iconic". Now, if you had the Vautl Dweller running around like that with a pile of water chips...thats funny...thats iconic, as the VD is reconized and his primary quest was very specific.
Ratchet and Clank ARE known for their nuts and bolts pickups, so that IS iconic, no?
Again, I dont really care though, as long as you can at least see what I'm saying.
Fez said:The hero in Rachet and Clank was a furry though and looked totally different. It can't be him.
Fez said:You wouldn't associate STALKER with the bolts because you don't know anything about the game, just as someone who hasn't played Fallout would spot the VD or understand why or even that he was carrying water chips.
Fez said:A lot of the characters are also included doing things they weren't famous for, Abe never drove a stompy robot and the heroine from NOLF wasn't a serving wench with her tits out. Some of it is for humor and deliberately out of character.
Fez said:You are forgetting this is Russian though. STALKER is even bigger and better known there, so the bolt thing would be picked up more by those who played it, like Gordon's crowbar it is something the character always has and part of the game mechanics.
Fez said:No matter what though it IS the Stalker and you have yet to come up with any other suggestions or points other than complaining that he may have made a bad choice in the drawing in your eyes. Are you still arguing against it being from STALKER? If so, come on then, what is it really? If the most obvious choice isn't it I would like to know who it is if you are so sure it is wrong.
Evog just said:In RATCHET AND CLANK, the PRIMARY CURRENCY is NUTS AND BOLTS...so the Lomax with Clank banging off his back would be a FAR SUPERIOR character in taht position...not only because of said currency, but because you fight ROBOTS in the game...and look who's chasing him...ROBOTS!!!!
Fez said:I am sending the plane tickets to the address you PM'd. Codex rules say we must fight as Spartans, in the shade and naked. Bring the lube of your choice because I have picked out a lovely honeymoon hotel suite for us to wrestle in for the weekend. I will bring a camera and we will make epic goatse.
wallace said:I wonder if they were originally planned to be more necessary, or were at least thought to be, based on with Roadside Picnic or the film version (which I've never read / seen, but I suspect nerdy Russians have.) I was on one forum or another and spotted a "hard-core" patch, and people seemed very excited that one of the changes were completely invisible anomalies.
Remember, given the development circumstances, this guy wouldn't play the actual game for another two years, if he ever even did (which I guess just goes to support the argument that it's overall a pretty silly inclusion, which I have no problem admitting.)
Fez said:Did anyone notice the beholder is wearing the Splinter Cell goggles on its head and a couple of eye stalks?
EvoG said:Since we're calling them out, a few some might not pick up on:
The main characters from Runaway (near the begining, being chased by the guy with the Thompson...
Black and Whitewith the Sims gem (oops...just caught that)
Bomberman with a dwarf from Myth
Dungeon Siege player with the third sickle (with Manny and Dungeon Keeper)
PainKiller killing whats-his-face from Legacy of Cain, BloodRayne, Army Men and <dont>
Cortana from Halo in the garbage truck
Final Fantasy 7 chars (Cloud, Aeriel and Sephroth) next to Kane from CnC (w/Tiberium)
Brood from Starcraft
Carmageddon crashing into the Warthog from Halo
Abe from Abes Odyssey (and others) in a Mech from misc. Mechwarrior games...staring down Twinsen from his series
The monocle guy in the blue suit with the rocket statue, standing in line, is from Evil Genius, with of course Purple Tentacle behind him from Maniac Mansion series
Alice from American McGee's Alice with the dude from Silent Hill and that robot knight Clockwork Knight, eating Pac Man...and my gut tells me thats not Garrett, but it probably is due to the bow, green eye and painting
In the cloud of running dudes after the "Stalker" guy (though it can't be), there appears to be that robot from that robot war game that I cant remember the name, and among the others already mentioned and obvious(like MegaMan), there's the Strogg from Quake 2
Next to Roger Wilco and the pile of heads (which I'm having a hard time recalling), there's teh big dude I have no idea who that is with his gun to Nemesis from RE series
Soul Reaver facing down Malak from KotoR
Then a Beholder wearing Sam Fishers gear (Splinter Cell) facing down a "critter" from Critters
Daikatana guys holding the white billboard in the lower middle
Dont know the knight on the horse other than any misc strategy?
Cyberdemon arm wrestling what I thought was Dungeon Keeper as well
Gold dude shaking hands with the mouse looks familiar but no go...
...and I have no idea what the windup mastadons are?
Cheers
EvoG said:No I'm not, simply because like 99% of this image is like NON-RUSSIAN. I mean by this logic, more of this image would comprise of, if not just Russian, eastern European gaming icons, no?
EvoG said:You're killing me man. I said three times now I KNOW its Stalker, but that it's a poor choice considering the largely clever body of work in the rest of the image, and I go on to explain, again a few times, that Ratchet and Clank is FAR SUPERIOR in every way in that particular context of the images
Evog said:Don't fuck this up man...I'm really excited actually! Thanks for the pic!! (I pictured boxers, not a banana hammock, but I guess thats just your culture)
EvoG said:Thanks Fez
Fez said:
Fez said:You clearly said before that it wasn't STALKER. The only time you suggested it might be him was with your sarcastic rolling eyes emoticon, as if you were only saying it to keep people happy, especially considering your denial earlier on. You failed to spot it was from STALKER, all I wanted to clear up that it really was form there. It doesn't matter whether or not you think it was well placed because you didn't get the joke (BECAUSE YOU ARE A HUMORLESS AND SOULESS GOLEM TYPE CREATURE).
Fez said:Glad you like it. I hope it gets you excited for our meeting. Tonight we dine in oh god its heavan. XXX
Fez said:EvoG said:Thanks Fez
Your big post took too fucking long, you need to be snappier and quicker when the thread is moving fast or you'll end up on an old page and no one will see your post. Serves you right. You also missed some and said that it can't be the STALKER guy in it. You smell.
I'm pretty sure they're from UGH!kingcomrade said:Are the cave men on the little flying machine from Tomba? It's been forever since I played that game but I seem to remember little cave men on a flying machine.
