[Chainsaw man]

I noticed the Engine was call Phoenix - Should we be expecting Turner to be pointing at some one and stating OBJECTION! or Stating THE SKY IS BLUE! at one point? Should we also expect a mechanical statue assets that looks remotely like John? A Crazy chain wielding guy with another persons face over his own? Kilts? Any references to some of the Fan Fiction made as cultural myths? Maybe a KILLROY WAS HERE some where?

Sure we gone over this sort of stuff before, but think of some silly meme's that could be added to the game.

WHALEMAN!

"The Whaleman...
the Whaleman is terrible...
like Daikatana, terrible..."

[Ozymandias]

I pictured there to be a ruins of a statue in a desert map, off in the corner where it's not immediately visible unless you stray from the main area.

I could explain it, but this should give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

[Healey]

What an interesting namesake. Or maybe just kawinkydink?

[Schutzenegger]

Maybe something like this?

[Ozymandias]

It probably wouldn't be that extravagant, or in such good condition. It would be nice, however, to actually have written what it says ion the base of the statue... perhaps the statue is even of a human? =o

Pretty awesome how fast the world changed after Shelley's poem was written.

Thank almighty Zeus that "lone and level sands" bollocks isn't going to happen to OUR empire. How embarrassing.


I love stuff far out around the action center of maps... buildings, ruins, even rocks and trees make the place seem more real, and it's fun to put stuff all around, like you're creating a real world.

[Schutzenegger]

Yeah, I'm working on making it more lived in, more natural

[Wilbefast]

That's like one of my favourite poems

I often mis-quote Ozy's posts and call him "the King of Kings":

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Yes, I'm straight and I like poetry - read it and weep

[Endoperez]

I found Horace Smith's less-known take on the same few days ago. I also learned both poems are made in lines of exactly ten syllables. I'm not good at noticing stuff like that.

In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.
We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragments huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

[Count Roland]

I think if at some point a toast was made "to the health of Alonzo the brave and his consort the false Imogine" that'd satisfy me possibly.

Would it be kill joy to presume that the Phoenix engine was probably named after the legendary bird, and not the character of a DS game?
