Plankhead Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I was wondering if anyone else noticed this. Raz makes a reference to a "mental dentist's office" in the Basic Braining intro. Later, we learn that Dr. Loboto is a dentist who removes people's brains. Mental dentist? I think Tim may have taken quite a few English classes before writing his games, because this (and a million other things) seem to prove that he has quite a bit of knowledge regarding literary devices.

Jake Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Did you notice the rabbits bordering the ceiling and floor of the white hallway in the reception area at the end of basic braining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udvarnoky Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I love how Raz speculates there being a jet underneath Ford Cruller's lab early in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchythesamurai Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Udvarnoky, could you refresh my memory of how that went? I don't remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentJess Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I think he mentions how that room they're in at the beggining, before the battlefield part, looks kind of like a mental dentist's office. I don't remember exactly... my brain's scrambled from watching Invader Zim for two hours in a row. @_@ I'll check and see tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember exactly, just when you first enter Cruller's lab and he starts talking about Psychonauts Raz says something like "I'll bet you've got a jet somewhere under here, right?" I think it's right before Cruller mentions how he's too old to do field work and how he sends Sasha and Milla to perform missions. I just thought the ending was sort of a cool nod to that.

Elton: It looks like a dentist's office. Raz: A MENTAL dentist's office. Priceless. I was laughing out loud the first time I heard that, and still do.

I was laughing out loud the first time I heard that, and still do. lol, I remember that now! Wow, I need to play this game again and try to catch all of the foreshadowing he did.

Smon Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 A lotta foreshadowing was done... Oleander saying he has "big plans" for Raz's mind. Wanting the children to walk around unsupervised on the beach. The meat plant. The bunnies. I don't think the mental dentist's office was one. The jet under the base. Uhm... can't think of any more... oh geez... sorry.. can't remember any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray the Chao Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 You know, if you listen to Boyd long enough he says something about 'the fat kid with the bunny'. He also seemed to know Sheegor"the freaky hunchback girl who loves brains so much" and interesting enough, Raz"the kid with the goggles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjewhype Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I liked all the referencing Boyd made to his burning of Hernando's. He said things like "Hernando!" "The fire will start in menswear" "No insubordination, right boss?" The whole ordeal with the fire just fascinates me. Another little tidbit is if you try to set fire to one of Fred's figures he says "They fireproofed this place years ago, you know, a lot of firestarters used to live here.", which I thought was another nod to Boyd.

Purple Squid Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I didn't even bother to think of that fireproof line. And I had just replayed That part, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Also go into Sasha or Milla's mind after the Lungfish level and you get a kind-of foreshadow to what happened to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray the Chao Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Have to do it before rebraining them, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Right right, also the World Shall Taste My Eggs! is Oleander's whole plan, so it's foreshadowing into like 5 minutes into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
