Thinking About The Dream I Had Recently Where There Was An Official HB Video Game.

Thinking about the dream I had recently where there was an official HB video game.

I think the plot was Blitz decided to franchise IMP and your custom character was chosen as the manager/lead assassin of the new branch.

The gameplay was a sort of Kingdom Hearts hack-n-lash with you getting more employees as the game goes on, doing gigs both in Hell and on Earth.

There was a sort of cul de sac hub outside your office where you would get sidequests, and here's where things get weird. One of the quest chains was given to you by Wally Wackford, but if you talked to Wally after finishing said questline he would have no idea who you are, with it being implied that the Wally you've been doing favors for was an impersonator.

all in favour of mattpat making a video about the amazing digital circus reblog this post

Something I find really funny is that the four male characters in TADC perfectly match up with tumblr's four most beloved male character archatypes:

Jax- smug, lanky asshole

Kinger- neurotic, bug-eyed old man

Caine- well dressed and erratic freak

Bubble- gross little creature

Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 2/5

Name: Barridge ( A simple play on barrel of a gun and widget, also kind of sounds like barrage)

Avatar: Pink sloshy blob in a canon unicycle with a jester hat on the back.

Personality: Energetic and slightly clingy goober who was something of an adrenaline junky and enjoyed almost all the adventures.

Fun fact: Barridge had full control of the canon at all times, but not of his fluid head. Bonus: The other members of the first four took to calling him Barry and future arrivals all thought that was his actual name

Abstraction: He was the longest lasting member of the first four humans to enter the circus. The weight of missing his friends and Caine pressuring him to interact with the new performers just ended up being too much. His abstracted form broke a ride at the outdoor carnival and briefly glitched one other person.

Name: Queener ( Even I have to take the easy route some time)

Avatar: Only difference between her and Kinger that's not visible in the portrait is a longer robe.

Personality: Wine aunt who arrived at the same time as Kinger, neither could remember the other's human life, but felt they should stick close together and formed a very close but nebulous bond. They were fiercely protective of each other.

Fun fact: She had a Canadian accent.

Abstraction: Kinger started letting go of his inhibitions to have more fun on adventures which worried her but she kept those feelings buried until it was too late. Her rampage broke a bunch of crap in the tent but fortunately, no one was glitched. Kinger blamed his perceived recklessness for her snapping which made him even more paranoid than he would have been if she just abstracted on her own.

Dead/Abstracted Performer Headcanons Volume 5/5

Name: Stroinga (saw someone name this character something derpy with and S and it kind of sounds like string)

Avatar: Worm on a string headed weasel like character with a small acrobat type outfit and nubby limbs.

Personality: Energetic and very polite, she usually tried to make the best of a situation, even if her generally clumsy nature (and new body) got in the way.

Fun fact: She was the last of the first four performers to join the group and they all entered the circus at once.

Abstraction: Her's was the first ever, brought on by a typical existential crisis, at least, typical by the digital world's standards. Sine Stroinga was Caine's first experience with abstraction it took a little while to catch her, especially since he also had to make the cellar. Luckily, she didn't manage to do any real damage. Syghti was hit the hardest by her abstraction.

Name: Denz (from density, since it's the principal by which things float on water)

Avatar: Ring floatie torso, flipper sandal feet, snorkel pipe neck, entire cartoon dolphin body as a head. His entire body is very rubbery and hollow.

Personality: Slightly overbearing guy how props himself up as a sort of life coach for other performers. He can be really annoying but always means well. Denz has a deep love of music, so much so that he often asked Caine to turn up the in-game audio, much to everyone else's frustration.

Fun fact: He had tended to use his room for storage of mementos from various adventures and preferred to sleep on the digital lake.

Abstraction: He tried his best to help everyone with whatever personal stuff they could remember, no matter how little. Naturally, he took every abstraction he saw really personally, the perceived guilt and being seen as nuisance by most remaining performers proved to much for Denz. Ironically, he abstracted during a lake adventure, glitching Edgallen and Jax.

And that's it! I've know racked my brain over 10 dead cartoon characters how may or may not prove completely irrelevant by the end of the series and I regret nothing. I really do hope you enjoyed these!

Breaking down the new LN3 footage

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT this was really wild, we basically got a collage of everything to expect from the Necropolis and what do you mean "pre-alpha gameplay footage"? This already looks amazing! Now let's start the actual breakdown

The area on the other side of the mirror seems to be the place where we see Low and Alone get pulled into the mirror in the reveal trailer, so that'll probably the beginning of the beginning for the game.

It's interesting to note that the Necropolis seems to be completely walled off from the surrounding desert.

I might be reaching here but that fact that a crow, an animal that's only previously been associated with the North Wind, is the first living obstacle the kids encounter is very interesting.

I can't, for the life of me, tell what era or region clothes the Dwellers are supposed to be wearing so if anyone can tell me, that'd be a big help.

We've had numerous variations of the eye symbol with various meanings ascribed to each, so, again, if anyone can point out any previous instances of this particular version of the eye, please do so.

Quicksand will be a hazard in the Necropolis and more than anything I'm just astonished there wasn't a sand burrower.

The Hercules Beetles are way nastier than I thought, likely because of their disgustingly realistic buzzing, makes feel less bad that Baby already killed most of them.

The bundled bodies around the area are definitely concerning, maybe the Dwellers use to preserve corpses as "offerings" to Monster Baby.

BABY CAN TURN HER EYE BEAMS OFF! This took me completely by surprise, the implications of this are very fascinating to think about.

The kids, or specifically, Low, wake up in a room with padded walls, implying their either in the sewing room of the Seamstress from the Lonely Way (not good), or the Counties Psychiatric Institute (really not good) and on top of that, darkness closes in around them. While we're on it, Lowe wakes up in the same way the protags of previous games do when you respawn and in the same situation that they (and Noone) do too, as their caught by a resident.

One last thing, the blue to grey pulse on the logo screen feels eerily like a heartbeat, and given the top of the "main" mirror almost looks like a heart...
