It's quite possibly one of the worst things I've ever eaten! Tasted like a disgusting soup mixture that had curdled and been left to go cold. It's not to my liking anyhow!...  [Read More]

As we all know, 'Dia de los Muertos' is Spanish for 'Day of the dead', but could anybody tell me what any of the following are in Spanish? I'm not really after a literal translation, rather, I'm wondering what these things are called by the people wh...  [Read More]

Well yes, it must be really really loosely based then! Still a cool story though....  [Read More]

I'm not sure of the exact background to Grim Fandango, but I've read plenty of times that it's based on Aztec and Mexican mythology and so on. It just struck me last night as rather odd - how could the Aztecs believe in a number 9 train before train...  [Read More]

Are there any Americanisms which are replaced in the translated versions? By this, I mean references to American culture which foreigners wouldn't understand. For example, the film Scary Movie 3 has some things changed. "It's on my list of t...  [Read More]

Some lines weren't even voiced. They're in the text file, but nowhere else. One such line is when you use the coral hunk on the pigeons. Of course, this is impossible, since you have to use the coral to get to the pigeons in a way that makes it compl...  [Read More]

I think it's most probably just something they overlooked when making the game, I don't think it's a plot hole to be honest, just a small error in the way they cut from crossing the bridge to arrival in Rubacava....  [Read More]

My favourite quote; "If there's one thing I've learned it's this... nobody knows what's going to happen at the end of the line, so we might as well enjoy the trip". I like it because it ended the game on something symbollic, something mea...  [Read More]

Thank you for linking to that screen shot from Unreal - it really is incredibly impressive that things like that can be done nowadays. I remember reading an article from an old gaming magazine from around the time of the Commodore64 style systems and...  [Read More]

Well I think the style works so well and the 3D effect is fantastic because it adds edge and realism to the fantasy world. However, I think some things could easily be improved with modern methods. Glottis, for example, looks far too blocky - he sho...  [Read More]

1. At the temple at the end of the game. It's just so peaceful there! 2. The snow scene when they all approach the temple. 3. Saying Goodbye to Glottis at the end (a sad moment!) 4. The train diving into Hell. 5. Walking around the streets during...  [Read More]

I'm not sure if it would work. Obviously, Manny and Meche are in their eternal rest now. In addition to that Grim Fandango was a story - it told of the crime and corruption in the land of the dead. By the end of the game, the story is finished and a...  [Read More]
