[QUOTE="Wik, post: 7679412, member: 40177"] You're trolling us, right? This is all sort of meta thing? Like, you're actually Andy Kaufman or something? They also wasted a golden opportunity to write an AP about flying mecha fighting invading insects. And they also wasted a golden opportunity to write an AP about fish people that just "want to get along". What's your point? Trying too hard? You know that's a good thing, right? I want people I give money to to "try too hard". My boss is never gonna come up to me and say "Wik, you try too hard, and you just look lame and goofy doing it". Maybe, to put it better, they KNOW what they want to release.... and you just don't like it? Because, spoiler - dark, edgy and scary? It TOTALLY looks lame and goofy most of the time. Trust me. I've played a lot of horror RPGs. Sure. He's only been dead a century. I'll dig out my [i]necronomicon[/i] Seriously!? Tim BURTON!? Yeah, he's not silly at all. Never. It's not like he did Beetlejuice. Or Sweeney Todd. Or, um, ALICE IN WONDERLAND!? O Pretty much every thing he's ever touched is a mix of whimsy and scariness. It's sort of his bread and butter. I bet, if he's a D&Der, he's DROOLING over this piece. As you said, it's fictitious. So it can be whatever people want it to be. Personally, I want it to be like montreal, only without so many friggin' french people. First of all, It? That's, like, a pretty big mixture of silly and horror. It's PROOF that you want horror and comedy to mix to make it scarier. Second, have you played CoC? Because, while it's a horror game, I'll tell you right now - people laugh their butts off playing it. [/QUOTE]
