The easiest thing to do is to start another game or load another saved game. I'ver never been able to unfreeze a frozen game....  [Read More]

This comes a little late, but I'll reply in case someone else is stuck at the same spot. I don't think there is one right code to solve that. Different color takes the hook to different direction. I can't remember the directions now (you have to use...  [Read More]

It's still available, but I guess it depends on where you're from. Try Ebay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2 F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=Grim+Fandango&category0=) or Amazon. (http://www.am...  [Read More]

Some people have said that they can talk to Domino, some were able to do it once and some not at all. I belong in the latter group. Someone said that the conversation was removed because it revealed too much of the villains' plot. You can get the so...  [Read More]

Its almost as if I missed something and I've just got to play some more to find it. Most likely. Every time I play the game again I notice something that missed my attention before. Using some item on something or someone or examining something new...  [Read More]

Agreed. The first time I finished the game I was in daze for a few hours. I wasn't able to do anything but sit and go over everything that had happened. And sometimes when you listen to the soundtrack, you find yourself just sitting in one place wi...  [Read More]

As far as I know, the story is based on Aztect beliefs about afterlife and how a soul must make a journey to reach eternal rest. Since I haven't researched the subject, I can't really say much more....  [Read More]

The more I think about this the more I feel like old school type of animation would suit better, like old disney with that certain sketchiness to it. Perhaps in the style of some of the concept art? Namely the Calavera Cafй piece....  [Read More]

Getting Grim Fandango to work as a movie would be a difficult task, but if done well the result might be magnificent. I think length is one of the biggest obstacles. The game has lots of dialogue that develops the characters and makes them all stand...  [Read More]

Ooh, keep us informed. It's strange that there are relatively few fics about Manny and Meche. I'll put you in my author alerts so that I'll know if you get something posted. Writer's block is such a horrible state. I hope you get over it soon....  [Read More]

Now back on topic, I beleive that the only reason he left was because as Manny said, "Everyone just want's to get out of here." (I wouldn't quote me on that). And at some point or another, he's going to have to leave the Land of the Dead. Y...  [Read More]

Do you mean Lola? A lot of people say her sprouting was the most emotional scene in the game, but for some reason I never cared much about that. I guess it's because we didn't see her that much and I didn't learn to care about her in the same way I c...  [Read More]

It's a bit like taking a walk in the morning sun, smelling that special after-rain smell and then remembering that the sand castle you built yesterday will never be back. Alright, that's brilliant! I'm not even going to compete with that. I'll say '...  [Read More]

Everybody was shot on the Day of the Dead because that's the day when the events of all years take place. At least the first two, but I don't see why the last two would be any different. You aren't being a snob at all. Your post included some info t...  [Read More]

Sadly, the possibilities I see for a new game are rather limited: Either a game with much Manny but with less LotD, or vice versa. Indeed, it's a true shame. I'd rather explore a new cast of characters in LotD since it's such a fabulous locations. B...  [Read More]

Hi, Niklas! Those ideas of yours sound interesting. I especially like your idea about Manny seeing his life flash before his eyes (er, sockets?) in the train. I don't know how well such an idea could be done and kept true to the hert of GF, but if th...  [Read More]

about getting bald, you ARE NOT BALD IN THE GAME, just every haircut is painted on the skull. True, but how do you paint hair that reaches your arm pits? And it's not the same because it can't flow in the wind, get stuck to your eyes or fall into yo...  [Read More]
