Firstly, I think I've seen this reference somewhere on this forum earlier:). Somebody in that old thread mused whether Olivia's poem or the title came first. Certainly the 'Grim Fandango' title sounds better, it's glamourous and mysterious, while 'D...  [Read More]

El Virus you can find an even larger collection of Grim Fandango tracks here; there are 128 more songs You know, the 128'th one is broken, it is suddenly cut short in the end. Well, that's insignificant, but a little disturbing. Viva Limones! Viva l...  [Read More]

El Virus The problem with remorse, ethics and laws is that they might prevent a person from doing something when he feels it necessary (As well as make a person do what he feels is necessary. In minor issues, at least). Well, too much of anything, e...  [Read More]

El Virus Well, I can't tell what exactly conscience is, but I'm fairly sure you notice it when feel it's pangs. It's considered good to feel profound remorse after doing something offensive, so that you wouldn't repeat that. It has more to do with hu...  [Read More]

El Virus after hanging around this community for a while I grew an interest in adventure games. Good for you. I think I grew out of them, sadly. Not adventure games, but games on the whole. Can't picture myself playing something new at all (I certain...  [Read More]

El Virus After this, I swore not to read guides for adventure games; and I've only played Full Throttle since those times. Didn't have many opportunities to act up to the vow? :) I've played not many games all in all, but the only adventure I did wi...  [Read More]

El Virus I guess it depends on the kind of forum you frequent. I've been in a few literary-canon fandoms' forums and a couple of original literary forums as well. Perhaps when computer games, especially shooters, are concerned, men are more frequent...  [Read More]

El Virus That's what I liked about Manny, he always seemed kind of indifferent to the world. Viewing life, or death, for that matter, with an excess scepticism. I agree, that's most endearing. He asked me, 'Is there any shooting involved in the game...  [Read More]

VampireNaomi He strikes me as the quiet type who'd rather keep to himself than be saving the world. And that's just like me. I suppose I could go Saving the World, if you'd suggest it to me when I'm kind of 'Lupe'. Nobody sais, though, that the World...  [Read More]

All right, I'll sign here too. ... No, I've changed my mind. I can't pick any five favourite tracks, I like them all too much. I could list approximately two thirds of the OST as my favourites and the other third as 'I like those very much, as well'...  [Read More]

Yohein the manual says that too: the game is based in a mayan culture where corpses are buried with money to help them in the other life. I think they tried to show this in the game using that phrase Manny says, but seeing the rest of the game... wel...  [Read More]

Yohein Maybe they were buried (with money) but the souls are picked up at the original place where they died. It's a bit confusing Oh I see dozens of coffins filled with money up to the lid. I agree that souls are picked up where their bodies had di...  [Read More]

El Virus There is no evidence that points the other way, so I figure they had to cut some content or either eliminate it from the game. You think the gap in the course of the first year was indended, but got cut out in the process? The dialogues were...  [Read More]

Horray! Seems I've been mistaken about one thing and right about the other: it's not bad at all to understand most of GF-talk figuratively, and it is possible to find a logical explanation to the apparent paradox. 'Morale points'. Sounds like a stra...  [Read More]

I'm just wondering as to what exactly we should take as canon: the irrelevance of money in pursuit of a better travel package or the tickets freely on sell. It would be nice to choose a one relatively acceptable option, but the more I think about it,...  [Read More]

VampireNaomi I guess we're dealing with a plot hole here. Worse: a plot mistake, as I've said earlier. As for the thing on Eva's head, I have no idea. It looks a bit like a headscarf, but I've never seen headscarves (or hair) sticking up like that))...  [Read More]
