Yorick - Tumblr Posts
This is the human skull used as Yorick's skull in the Royal Court Theatre's acclaimed production of Hamlet directed by Richard Eyre, starring Jonathan Pryce as Hamlet, which opened on the 2nd April 1980. The skull was signed by many of the members of the cast and production team before it was offered as a raffle prize, presumably by the theatre.
The most popular image of Hamlet is that of the solitary figure of Hamlet holding Yorick's skull, despite the fact that when Hamlet holds it he is with the gravedigger and Horatio. The incident comes from the graveyard scene in Act V scene 1, where Hamlet takes Yorick's skull from the gravedigger and says to Horatio: 'Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.' That moment has somehow become emblematic of the play, and is often misquoted as: 'Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him well'. The critic Francis King, writing in The Sunday Telegraph, 6 April 1980, noted that when Pryce picked up the skull: 'it wasn't with the usual wistful regret for human mortality but with a childish glee'.

I had no clue what I was doing, I’m sorry Yorick
THE LEGEND OF PENTAKILL!!
Vanguard of Metal:
Adoring fans reinvigorate Karthus’s spirit (and his flesh), rally to Kayle’s indomitable voice, and tremble at the sight of Mordekaiser within his mighty forge below the arena.
Beyond Center Stage:
From weaving together ancient harmonies to unleashing relentless percussive assaults, Yorick, Sona, and Olaf hold mastery over the dark rhythms of this world.
"owls don't eat people, boys" everything about this sentence is hilarious. arthur's delivery. the fact that yorick and john were both ready to accept that alexander wanted to eat them. arthur calling john and yorick "boys." 10/10
Graves and TF would make a fun game, especially since Graves did say they'd go plan heist in other places, so the couple is one of the characters that aren't stuck to one place... But I'd like it to be in Bilgewater, since it has a charismatic geography, culture and characters.
I think a game about Yorick's story would be cool, though... Just by hearing his voice lines I feel goosebumps. Exploring his story would be interesting (same to Jax. Both of them lost their homes to something beyond their control)
TfGraves would be the fun silly game, Yorick would be the I-just-cried-my-soul-out game
So... it has been a little bit since Riot Games had the mass lay-offs and closed down Riot Forge. Let me just say that the closing of Riot Forge sucks, majorly. Of the games I played, I really liked their output. Ruined King is awesome, and while over the course of playing it I just grew to both love and hate Convergence but overall it was still a fun experience.
I know they still got Bandle Tale coming out, which will be the last Riot Forge game, I think. So I just wanted to speak quickly of an idea I think could have been cool to see if Riot Forge had not been closed.
An isometric twin-stick shooter starring Graves and Twisted Fate.
I've been doing some reading on the characters cause I think they seem genuinely interesting. A game starring them on their adventures could be so interesting. As a fan of Darksiders Genesis my first thought is get Airship Syndicate to do the game I suggest, but I do think getting a different developer would work too. I'm thinking Upstream Arcade, the people behind West of Dead and Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. Mostly because of the former than the latter.
Maybe with Riot working on projects outside of their usual multi-player wheelhouse we could hopefully get something like this, but I'm not holding my breath.
Would any of you wish for this too? Or do you have ideas for what other characters could have gotten their own game? Which character and what kind of game?

full ver. i will update in my twitter. ;’3
Finally! Our boi gets some protection. He has been stabbed too much.
I had fun drawing Arthur in a breast plate. And with that white streak in his hair, I’d say he’s looking like a right proper man on a mission. I also gave him a beard. I can only imagine it’s been growing since he’s been dead and brought back to life.
