Limbo of the Lost/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

** In a more literal sense of the word, the very first item you receive is a worm... [[Nausea Fuel|pulled out of Arach's ear. It's later combined with sewage water to create a tequila]].

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The plagiarism charges led to a brief fad of photoshopping the main character into other games. Rock Paper Shotgun even held a [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/compo-of-the-lost-gallery/ contest] seeking these.

* [[Misblamed]]:

* ~~[[Misblamed]]:~~ The writing and "logic" of the story are so crappy as to be beyond excuse, but there ''are'' a few common places where the storyline and/or Briggs gets unfairly criticized. Perhaps the easiest to identify is that of Quagmire the chained prisoner in Chapter 2, who you free. A lot of criticism has been directed at the fact that you are freeing a chained prisoner without supposedly knowing why he has been imprisoned, but you actually can find out in the previous chapter. Of course, considering the millions of ''actual'' issues with the storyline, this is a very excusable case.

** And even it is slightly debatable if Grunger's note in the prologue actually refers to Quagmire: the name on the note is "Jethro Quagmire", when Jethro is the name of the janitor in the Machine chapter. An intentional case of defying [[One Steve Limit]], or a continuity mistake? Only the developers know.

** Another example (also referring to Grunger) is having to put sleeping snot in gruel when the jailer's already asleep. Grunger may be asleep when you encounter him, but Ed refuses to let you pass until you feed him (threatening to have Grunger kill you at least once), and it'd be pretty much impossible to get past Grunger when he's awake.

* [[Most Annoying Sound]] : "Join us... Join us... Join us now !" It was [[Nightmare Fuel|quite the opposite]] when spoken aloud by {{spoiler|the Hammer Haunts}} in the ''[[Thief]]'' games.

* [[Narm]]: If the horrendous spelling in the subtitles doesn't get you, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0 "King of Limbo"] song at the end will.
