    It's not even half way

    Still it's sad that I got to hear how he sounded over

    He certainly had the most terrifying imagination. He defined the nightmares of a generation. Maybe I'll try playing Darkseed again.

    I'm a little morbidly curious if there's going to be a bio-mechanical coffin or gravestone. Literally morbidly curious.

    We'll get back there someday.

    He was horribly underused in the field of movies, apparently he was difficult to work with but I always got the vibe that he wanted to work on more movies. What happened to him with Alien 3 is really sour.

    Twenty bucks says there's a weird boner on it somewhere.

    I wanted to play this game so bad as a kid. I had it, but it just crashed and crashed and then it crashed when it was done crashing.

    He'll be buried in a biomechanical penis-coffin, in a hole that's dug to look like a vagina.

    Sad news. When I went on a poster framing binge I bought one of his museum's reprints and hung it on my wall. He really had a unique style.

    Little known facts: giger drew inspirations from the night terrors he's had since he was a little kid.

    His girlfriend, Li, killed herself. He painted her before and after her death, portrayed in the paintings Li and Li II. In the second painting she is very clearly dead. He says that he blames his morbid style for contributing to her suicide.

    For being so morbid, giger had a great sense of humor. He helped make a very tongue in cheek horror movie called "killer condoms" in which condoms would swim up out of the toilet and bite off their victims dicks. He also changed the egg in the alien movie after drawing criticism from Catholics because the egg opening looked like a vagina, "there, I've changed it to one of those crosses you Catholics are so fond of looking at." The joke just adds on layers like an onion once you realize what happened to the guy in the original movie who sat there staring at a cross for just a bit too long.

    Very few people can develop a style that is so subconsciously recognizable.

    Dude did creepy so well.

    My sister (a big art nerd) has one of his books, and his work is extremely detailed and uses expertly themed colour palettes. It's also fucking PACKED with phalluseseseses and ladies special happy places.

    Killer Condoms is an unsung masterpiece.
