GendoTheGreat Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 All the people who post on this forum are fans of Grim Fandango. (Duh.) What I wonder is for how many of us Grim Fandango presents more than light entertainment? The purpose of this thread is to discover just how obsessed we all are with this game.Personally, my obsession is mild. I have a kitten which I named Salvadore after Salvadore Limones I have 200+ Grim Fandango screenshots, backgrounds and wallpapers. (That includes my home PC and my work computer). I have also set up both computers with GF desktop backgrounds and sound events. Both computers have the GF installed on it, and each has a shortcut key for the game. I have several colour printouts of GF screenshots put up around my workstation. I have almost every GF site I can find bookmarked. (On both computers) I post on the GF forums every day. That's about it for me, though I'm sure there are a few things I forgot to mention. I look forward to finding out just how nuts the rest of you are.

Axis Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Personally, my obsession isn't even all that much of an obsession. Gexx bought me a copy of the game and I played and I really love it. That's basically why I'm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Sorry. My 'obsession' is boringly mild by comparison. I say 'hijole' sometimes, usually to scare people. I used to post news on the Grim Fandango Network. Oh, and I watched some film called 'Breast Men', but only because Skyfox told me it had a bunch of the Grim voice actors in it. No, really.

GendoTheGreat Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 There's got to be a at least a handfull of people here who have a real obsession, I just know it. The internet attracts the obsessed of all genres like no other medium on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I think Eva is Hot! Personally I'ld Love to Jump Her Bones. I am also presently building a Grim Fandango fan site, (now) I DO NOT WANT my face eaten off, BUT I went to Demented org and tried to set up an account, they informed me they are no longer or not currently taking any new accounts. The only choice so far I use is Geocities, BUT I do not want to get the Moderators pissed, so tell me what sites are good for you and the Fandango network and I will place my site there. also eventually want to build a Grim Fandango desktop theme. I agree with Gendo, I want my computer saying stuff at me whenever I use it. Does anyone else think Eva is Hot! Or am I sick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gexx Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 well i don't think i'm that obssesed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Eva is about as hot as a skeleton can get I suppose, but I'm talking about obsession here, not fetishes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gexx Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 ya Eva. i don't really like Meche much though. i liked Lupe's attitude.*AAHH! my skin is burning for i spoke the name of the evil one!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Me, obsessed? Maybe... I actually don't even have a working copy of Grim Fandango at the moment. It's still my favorite adventure game of all time, though. I just don't think there's enough GF stuff out there to obsess over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 when this sequel surfaces (i say WHEN!!) then i recon a load of people will start to get obsessed again. We just need something new, thats why Nightlight Productions is such a good idea because its so original and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 If not a sequel, what if LEC released the production portfolio for GF? You know, the conceptual artwork, voice recording outtakes, interviews, stuff like that? Give us something we haven't seen, that would keep me happy for a while.

Darth Eggplant Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 GF Pez dispensors would be cool. they did a set for star wars. just think you could have a Pez dispensor of Lupe (and just like the Star Wars action figures Lucas could design microchip set it sits into so that every time you pop back the head for a candy, Lupe could say to you: "hi, want to be my boyfriend!"

Gatorboy Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 well, i have a folder with over 40 screenshots i took from the game, I burned a GF soundtrack to which i listen to quite often...it's inspiring. (MI soundtracks to) when i see landscapes or constrictions in the city i always think "wow. reminds me of GF" well i'm sure there's more, but in the lonrun, i can say that GF has inspired me a lot and will always remain stained on my puny brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Originally posted by DarthEggplant Lupe could say to you: "hi, want to be my boyfriend!" For God's sake, don't say things like that! The name 'Lupe' is bad medicine here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 Sorry, I have to ask - what was it about this "Lupe" that has you all so freaked out? Can someone explain to me exactly, without degenerating into a flurry of "<sob>"'s and "argh!"'s? I'm very curious, you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gexx Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 umm... ok. but the Lupe*argh!* thing, he/she/demon hell spawn made threads about farts, and you didn't see his site, "won't you be my girlfriend?" over and over! and off the subject, why does everyone online think i'm canadian?

MeddlingMonk Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 'Lupe' was a total headcase. Probably hyperactive, or maybe hysterical (sometimes). Couldn't write in complete sentences. Totally useless and would freak out if offered help. Basically did everything possible to alienate and offend. 'Lupe' persisted across the four incarnations of the GFN forums (that I know of), resurfacing briefly as 'Admiral Casaba' when the present version came online. There have been no confirmed sightings for months. Suffice it to say, everyone who experienced even a part of the long nightmare is scarred for life.

GendoTheGreat Posted July 13, 2002 Author Share Posted July 13, 2002 Did "Lupe" ever subtly try to gain your trust when starting up under a new alias? Or was he\she a genuine whacko? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
