  1. You remember that picture of vingw riding naked on a red hound in space while a pigman in a cop car was chasing him? Yeah, I do.
  2. I'd probably continue my thought son it more, but I've already derailed this thread too much.
  3. Here goes a long one. I'm a lovecraft fanboy as the next guy, Hell I love many of his works and consider "At the mountains of madness" one of the best horror stories ever written. If I didn't like the guy I wouldn't bother knowing more than half the stuff I know about him and his work. but there's no denying he was pretty racist and bordered on xenophobia. If you've read through his stories it's obvious that people of colored were less smart and where prone to worshiping these deities and the dark arts whilst white people where much better litter many of his stories. (though he did get better at it and was even ashamed of shadow over insmouth later on) He also admitted to having a huge fear of anything weird, like octopuses, insects, spiders, snails and what not. Hense why so many of his aliens tended to look like this because. Lovecraft was sorta a product of his time too, he grew up when black people didn't have a whole lot of rights, when racism was very much more alive than it is today. I call him a coot to mock his racism, It's just silly when people praise him while the guy was a xenophobic recluse most of his life. That's to say his work isn't bad or stupid, just acknowledging it has it's flaws. Alss Lovecraft did bring the idea of "cosmic eldricth horrors" to the main stream, just he didn't invent the whole idea.
  4. Giant cosmic eldritch horrors are nothing new, they date back before the old racist coot was making his stories, just that they're most associated with lovecraft.
  5. Actually that's not the full reason, Cthulhu's the most known because when the old racist HP died his other writer friends coined the term "cthulhu mytho's" to describe his lore and setting. The Call of Cthulhu while not the story that ground in the lore of Lovecraft comic horrors did establish some of it. Edit: Though if you wanted to count them, some of the mytho deities did appear earlier in the dreamland cycle he wrote which dates before the mytho's where a thing.
  6. Oh joy new stuff! also more pyrovision crap lovely.
  7. Cthulhu still doesn't fit the role much. Dagon would be better suited really. Plus I feel salty today.
  8. Cthulhu such a over used boss suggestion for video games, I mean the guy's one of the least interesting and weakest deity's Lovecraft named.
  9. Swords don't fit the game's style at all really. then again they added multiplayer so anythings good to go I guess
  10. See some of the more older users active here, it's like old times!
  11. Not enough, needs to be all the DS characters attached to each other in a putrid mess of vile of screaming and failing body parts.
  12. You think sour ceam and onion cake has been made? god that would be awful
