So, what if the afterlife is like Grim Fandango?

[bsorc]

Actually you know what, many people who've had near death experience said to have seen a beautiful city like a different land for the dead.

 

could be but wht do i knoww?

[VampireNaomi]

 

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 your soup... hey, perhaps it wouldn't be that bad after all.

... get stuck to your eyes or fall into your soup... hey, perhaps it wouldn't be that bad after all.

 

that sooo true

[Shuz]

Ah, the easy short hair life.

[VampireNaomi]

Is that you in your avatar, Sallim? I haven't seen hair that thick on anyone in a long time.

[Sallim]

yet its me lol

[Mr.Samoal]

I would clean cavalera's cafe and wait for my wife passes by.

[nutmeg1992]

I've had near death experiences and it was not funny. (if you want to ask me what it was go right ahead)

 

I would only go out at night into the forests staying near the weird things in there.

of couse it's only four years but if my time came to go on that train I wouldn't i'd stay behide I mean come on who wants to end it all now.

I'd be like "woohoo!!!!!"

[Klia]

If the afterlife was like Grim Fandango I think I'd probably land one of those semi-decent tickets to get to the after after life and start my journey. Meet some family members that haven't moved on, and such.

 

Knowing me though, I'd probably go screw it and do whatever the hell I feel like.

I would like to work in the DOD as a reaper. I know, that's crazy, but when I think about Grim Fandango I can't forget about El Marrow and building of DOD. Working in there equal spending nice time. Yeah, I'm mad.

Yeah, when I first played the game i thought Manny's job was actually quite appealing, well apart from the corruption that is.

Being a rebel sounded more fun to me. Being a reaper is too much like being a person who calls you late at night telling you about the latest sales on couches.

If we all ended up in the Land of the Dead, and had to work off debts we'd accumulated in life, then I'd have no problem with that at all. Although I guess it kind of depends what the Ninth Underworld is like (and for that matter, the alternative...)

 

However, did you guys ever think how big the Land of the Dead would have to be? I mean, what we see in Grim Fandango itself is diverse enough in terms of locale and culture, but surely the entire thing would prove to be... well, just like life once you got used to it!

 

Apart from the obvious aesthetic differences (bones, demons, etc.), I'd just hope that Death has a similar soundtrack, and that we all end up with a quick wit and Spanish accent =D

[Flibbo]

I'd love it if the afterlife was like Grim Fandango. I think i'd stick around the land of the dead for a while before i try starting my journey. Maybe i could become a beatnik in the Blue Casket...

[Nick Virago]

Screw the four-year-transition! Like Domino said on year 3, I'd find the way to "...make the land of the dead livable!" I'd just probably stay in Rubacava and be like Maximino (or Nick Virago without his crappy death, lol).

[Smon]

I'd be delighted if the afterlife were like in GF, up until I realized I never buried any money with myself. I'd probably only be eligible for the Excelsior Line, but I'd make the most of it. I'd set up some kind of arcade for the dead.

 

Also, as far as what money they use, seeing as it's based on a mexican afterlife I'd imagine they convert all money to pesos.

[stewlil]

I wanna kill myself now to find out if this is true!! ...maybe not actually, but still. I would go explore places like El Marrow and Peuorto Zapata (cant remember the name)

[SeaTurtle]

I'd love it if the afterlife was like Grim Fandango! I'd probably end up in Rubacava, working as someone's coat check girl...

[Torque]

I'd head straight for the Ninth Underworld. The sooner I could get there the better. The Land of the Dead seems like a dangerous place to me.

[Shuz]

^party pooper!

[B.A.T.]

I would start a career in music, man, f**king metal! You would need some heavy guitar riffs and some serious headbanging,

 

Hell Yeah, except the music in grim fandango kicks ass........BLUE CASKET ALL THE WAY! 1 year El Marrow 2 years Rubacava......then start my journey

[bluemanrocker]

I would love it because I would know exactly what to do!!!

[dingodango]

is there somebody there that could help me, i am trying to instal grim fandango in my computer, i have windows xp, but when i run ti it say that the system get an error or something like that and it close the game, i have try to run it as windows 95 and 98 but it does the same

[Du Man]

dingodango, since you weren't very descriptive with the error, nor did you post this question in Glottis's (or Glottis') Garage, I'm just going to send you to this thread,

 

http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=171217

 

read and do what it says. If you're still having a problem, or the problem has changed, feel free to start your own thread in Glottis's Garage. And please to stop posting in random forums, believe me we gf people read all of them all the time, especially Glottis's Garage, so if you've got a problem we will get back to you (if of course we think we can solve it).

 

And in an attempt to steer this thread back on topic, has any one seriously considered becoming a travel agent as a career choice? Wait, no that probably won't work...um, what job would you want if you were in the gf like land of the dead (besides being a travel agent!)?

[Frenkieee]

What job.. I would like to be a musician in a nightclub. Those delicious GF-tunes all night long
