Do you think...*SPOILERS*

...that "4 God's wait on the windowsill" means that, along with Cthulhu, other gods from H.P. Lovecraft's stories will be included in the other four episodes? :winky:

There's only 3 episodes left, 3 gods left. And I hope we get to punch them.

My issue is that if you punch one god per edpisode, then when are you going to have time to punch the giant fruit fucker?

what i'm thinking is that it goes like this:

episode 1- sub bosses: slum lord and pope mime end boss: 1st god
episode 2- sub bosses: maybe charles? and some other guy end boss: 2nd god
episode 3- sub bosses: some people end boss: 3rd god
episode 4- sub bosses: some guy and 4th god final boss: fruit fucker prime

DeMoN

If we do end up fighting a god an episode, I'm thinking Fruit Fucker Prime will be a really hard boss, but not the last boss in the series. I'm thinking we might even destroy it in the next episode and then the plot will thicken and such.

Edit: It just occurred to me. If we do end up fighting the other 3 gods, I hope they don't recycle the whole

"bring Anne-Claire 2 items and one soul to beef up your weapons"

Though I would like to see Gabe

insert his hands into something else.

LateNightcat

Tycho "Don't worry Gabe, this is just ordinary milk."
Gabe "From a bull?"
Tycho "..."
Gabe "..."
Tycho "..."
Gabe "..."
Tycho "Err...Yeah!"

I guess the entire theme of the story is going to be somewhat Lovecraftian, so there might be other bits and pieces of Cthulu mythos popping up.

But really, other than Cthulu, is there any god from the mythos that has a particularly memorable (and consistant) form? I'm not that familiar with the other gods and creatures, but most of the artwork I've seen seems to consist of amorphous tentacles and screaming eyeballs.

That just got me imagining what it would be like if the whole thing did adhere to this so-called 'trend' of mythos, and oh the laughs that could be had.

MegaMan001

As long as they up the difficulty in killing the final boss. Or maybe insert a difficult slider. Yog Sithis or whatever was a pushover.

Willeth

Sethis. And try beating him without letting anyone die without using health items - did it last night, very pleased with that.

EYE 8 UR BRAINS

since the story contains Lovecraftian things, maybe there will be a shoggoth or maybe even a hydra?
here is a shoggoth for those of you who don't know: this is not my drawing

See, I told you. That's always what 95% of the other things in Lovecraftian stories look like. The rest are people who were put together from leftover seafood.

I guess it'd be either a shoggoth or a deep one (or some kind've parody of Innsmouth, where everyone is turning into Catsby's or something).

EYE 8 UR BRAINS

I've got an idea. Maybe the narrator is H.P. Lovecraft talking to the characters as he writes a book and controls your every move...

This thread makes me want to play through Eternal Darkness again.

Should they stick with Lovecraftian gods, I imagine these might make the cut:

Cthulhu - Well, since Yog Sethis had a Cthulhoid head, maybe not, but he's so genre definitive. If not him, then...

Azothoth - Head God, looking at him drives you mad, which only lasts until he kills you. Only downside is he's blind and mindless, which sounds like comedic gold.

Shub-Niggurath - Black Goat with a Thousand Young. Fairly big in mythos cults, the thousand young part sounds like a great way to get a flood of enemies.

Nyarlathotep - God with a thousand forms, including a few human ones. Why not?

minigunwielder

All those who actually paid attention know is that Yog-Bamoun, Yog-Sethith, etcetera killed the four gods of light(which honestly, must have been a fucking pushover, I mean, a god of kittens, a god of cream, what the fuck.) and that the narrator is Yog-Bamoun, the Nyarlothotep-Analogue, and probably one of his incarnations is Anne-Claire's "dreamy" idol, or Tycho's brother.

Or the narrator is Nodens.

Wait.

Maybe Nodens is an incarnation of Nyarlothotep.

Why do you say there are only 3 episodes left?

Because if I'm not mistaken it has been stated that they are making 4 episodes. And only four episodes.

Golden Yak

I thought 'Yog Bamoun' was a greeting/farewell, not a deity.

Because it's been stated a few hundred times that there are going to be four episodes total, and one has already been released.

Edit: BEATEN TO IT.

From the FAQ:

What Can't be Said/No Comment:
6. Number of episodes

If there has been a (public) announcement I haven't seen it.

As did I. Yog is 'God', or 'infinite'. 'Bamoun' is depth, and dark meaning.

I think Tycho confirmed four eps in the MN podcast they were on.

From those papers, 'Yog Bamoun' would translate as 'Gods Below.'

Maybe 'Yog Bamoun' refers to the group of all 4 baddies together.

The narrator says it when he leaves you with G&T. He also says something like 'I wish you strength, and courage, and time.'

I just listened to it, he did indeed confirm 4 episodes on the major nelson podcast.

That reminds me. In the podcast for the game, they stated that you meet the narrator again. I wonder if you meet him in person, and if so, what does he look like?

Willeth

Shit.

My RSPD podcast is corrupted, and the Greenhouse site doesn't have a direct link any more.

Can anyone help a brutha out?

Technically they still have it, they just don't have the link out in the open anywhere: http://download.playgreenhouse.com/podcast_rspd.mp3

Come to think of it, I'll PM you.

Lovelove.

Panicman123

What if you have to fight the narrator in the very end, who's some sort of evil god that has been using you to destroy his rivals? He could attack you with exciting text panels, like PAIN! or OUCH!

Or what if you fight The Merch?

Daerok

If that's the case, I hope the children have been buying a lot of merch stuff.

MistressKana

Omg a Narrator boss battle would be awesome..and I'm pretty sure no other game has ever had you do dark combat with the disembodied voice that guides you. It would be sweet.

I don't remember this. The opening sentence where they're talking about 'we should bring him back, like Boba Fett' is talking about Carl from the Deep Crow arc.

Franzibald is going to be one of the sub-bosses.

He has to say that things (like attacks against him) "are hardly ideal!"

Psychotic One

I predict you'll take down FF Prime in the next episode and then Ann gets ahold of whats left and in episode 4 when all the chips are down and things are looking bad Ann reveals FF Prime Voltron mode and the final fight is god vs Mech across the city. Gabe will punch....with 50 foot tall metal fists.
