Well RIP in pepperonis m8.

He is the father of modern horror, so is your lost if you want to ignore him, his characters are beings that transcendent human acknowledgement, meaning they can't be described, so by principle any attempt is doomed to end in failure, his genius is to create what is to become Lovecraftian storytelling, in which humanity is portrayed as helpless upon the greatness of the universe and its other inhabitants, with the most notorious being lord Cthulhu, a being so unbelievable, that for the brief moment his avatar was awake on the surface of the sea, the world at large went mad, that's cool as fuck!

Doomroar 2015-06-02 17:06:29

What so you are not going to volunteer yourself to be measured as you die victim of a free-fall?

I said unbelievable, not indescribable, he does and subsequent authors try to describe lord Cthulhu as a giant with some kind of octopus for head, but his presence in the world induces madness on people all around the globe, that means his sole presence, you don't have to see him, he just has to interact with the world, that happened after he awakened for a brief time, and is that short event which settles the ground for a bunch of other future bizarre occurrences in the lovecraftian universe.

Doomroar 2015-06-03 09:56:00

I see so you will become an astronaut, well there's no weight to be measured anyways if you are free falling.

Oh that does happens a lot, but not with lord Cthulhu, Lord Cthulhu is an example of "humanity is portrayed as helpless upon the greatness of the universe and its other inhabitants", to the point that they fall into madness the moment Lord Cthulhu momentarily interacts with the world.

Most if not all do take place int the same universe yes, that's why we can talk about a lovecraftian universe, which doesn't ends and is limited to what Lovecraft wrote, but was also expanded by other authors, of course one has to ask first if the works by authors other by Lovecraft, even if they are his "disciples" count as canonical works.
But yeah Father Dagon, Mother Hydra, Lord Cthulhu, Innsmouth, the prestigious and mysterious Miskatonic University, and the infamous Necronomicon, are all part of the same rich universe.

Doomroar 2015-06-03 22:05:30

The puns.

Some, but what i listed were names of characters, locations and i guess the Necronomicon is indeed the name of a book, but you never get to actually read the Necronomicon, you read about people who find it, search for it, or the Mad Arab who wrote the thing.

Doomroar 2015-06-04 02:44:35

Those puns are "Still Not a Player".

Everywhere, the necronomicon is part of pop culture by now, but most people don't know that it is part of the lovecraftian universe, and that the book is entirely fictional, even one of the level icons here is a necronomicon if i remember well.

Doomroar 2015-06-04 15:00:41

Well that's about all the songs i can think of him that i have listened to, a short lived reference, this "It's So Hard".

Well it may not appear in Hellraiser, but it appears in Evil Dead.

Doomroar 2015-06-06 16:16:17

Yeah i got nothing, not really an artist that i am familiar with.

Nope.
Neither i plan finishing them one day.
Not really, i don't have all that many movies on my to watch list, they are like 30 really obscure films, most of them are quite controversial like Delicatessen or Naked Lunch (which seem to be based in a book, but i am not gonna lie i am genuinely interested only in the bizarreness of it), and then there's a list of Godzilla Movies by Toho that i have to start watching some day, since i like giant monsters and all that, but i for me that one is more of a series rather than movies.

Doomroar 2015-06-08 07:43:26

Interesting, he has to work on his breathing tho, i will give him some years, but good to know he is out there.

They Live is also on the list, nope i avoided the newer one because i want to watch the classics first, i saw the first Tetsuo after reading the manga adaptation, it made me miss H.R. Giger a lot.

Doomroar 2015-06-08 15:03:30

Well Feel Good Inc was sang by De La Soul, but to compare Chris Rivers and Cyber D, to the living legends that are De La Soul... bad joke man.

Now u kno.

Doomroar 2015-06-08 17:16:34

Still a bad joke, tell it when they get near De La Soul not when they are crawling as if they were babies.

Doomroar 2015-06-09 13:41:53

Free sale? i am sure the new album is still underproduction after the kick-starter campaign.

Doomroar 2015-06-09 13:53:26

Oh that, man for a moment i thought i was in the future and didn't even find out.

Doomroar 2015-06-09 18:48:22

To some, i guess but i am not a fan of early access or kickstarters in general, the only kickstarter i have supported was the one for The Reward, and i kinda wasted my vote on the lizard guys, oh well.

Doomroar 2015-06-11 08:10:47

Meh, that feeling of helping a project died with the compendium of 2014 #JustDota2Things

Similarly i neither felt like being a part or helping fund something with this kickstarter, because for one they already accomplished their budget goal by the moment i signed, and secondly it was sequel, the novelty was the ability to vote on which characters would come in the following eps, but well you win some you lose some i guess.

Doomroar 2015-06-11 15:42:46

A lot of stories, each one way too long for anyone not drunk to bother tell.

Yeah, but even if this was a normal kickstarter the novelty of feeling part of helping in the funding of something died out with last year international.

Doomroar 2015-06-12 09:06:04

I am a teetotalitarian, which is fancy speak to say that i don't drink alcohol.

#JustDota2Things

Doomroar 2015-06-13 03:41:50

Too sober on life for me to recall all that.

Well you will have to play the struggle, if not it will be too long and complicated to explain.

Doomroar 2015-06-13 03:56:57

Or you can take a swim in the sea that is Dota2, but don't swallow the water, it has too much salt.
