Question: Any games with Slig-like characters?
 

I was wondering if anyone knows of some games where you play as Slig-like characters? Either part-machine animals or like semi-evil anti-hero guard type characters?

Or any games based on a prison could be interesting.
I saw a picture of this one game where it was this prison isometric adventure game. The developer was Spanish but I think it got translated. No idea of the name. If anyone can help i'd be very greatful.

Also, any games like the Italian Job / Ocean's Eleven? Where you case a place and then rob it? That would rock! Thanks!

I saw a commercial once that had a character that had a face like a slig with the tentacles and eyes, it was called

Awesome.

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate destruction.

Not necessarily relevant, but you'll be having so much fun you'll forget what you wanted in the first place.

One word.

Illithids.

Or two.

Mind Flayers.

I fucking love Mind Flayers.

What flavors do they come in?

Actually, yeah, there are these three games where you control Slig-like characters. they look exactly the same, actually! You don't control them the whole game, but at specofic points if need be.

Can't quite remember the name, though.

Metal Gear Solid?

In 3.x? Regular, Sorcerer, and Lich. Lich is less tasty than the rest, being a corpse and all.


There's also like a hundred different variants but I can't own ALL the sourcebooks, can I?

Up, Down, Sideways, Sex Appeal and Peppermint.

Pilot, Kastere, can you elaborate please?
Illithids rock by the way, thanks for sharing.

Not a game, but still quite sliggy. O R'lyeh?

Its a deformed big bro Slig!

H.P. Lovecraft hates you now. :p

Who doesn't he hate?

Upper class thin white British gentlemen.

well you could play the call of cthulhu game for the pc, you get to kill a tiny cthulhu, cthulhui i think they're called? the cthulhu followers that fought the elder things.

My friend Kale once met a woman who named her son 'Cthulhu'. Apparently she didn't know where it came from but just "liked the sound of it".

cthulu is sliggy!!!

EDIT: I think rlyeh is where cthulu is trapped right? the underwater city...

*worships all things lovecraftian*

Thanks for your original contribution.Well done. Have a banana.

Lovecraft was a miserable bastard and an appalling racist. Even at a time when what we consider to be racist was casual conversation. He got looks for his insane anti-semitism and outright batshit-insanity.

I just don't get the popularity of Cthulhu. The stories themselves are wordy as fuck and not all that terrifying.

Yeah, he even out-pisses Meyer over the rainbow, and gets away with it because his creations are shamefacedly stolen from the Greek Titans culturally original and dark and morbid to the point of being stale nihilistic.

Mr. and Mrs. Lovecraft are not pleased.

Hold on. Much as his writing is obnoxious, that doesn't make it bad, it's just, well, wordy. And overrated. Comparing him Meyers is like comparing Deodorant that doesn't work at all to smearing shit in your armpits.

Fun fact! His wife was Jewish.

Of course, I was just stating that his prose shares similarities with a well ripened aubergine, perhaps I went a little overboard but man does that guy have a fandumb.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that this picture should be a meme with the caption reading "The Lovecraft's are not pleased".

His wife is sneering sort of in the second one.

They are the same picture. But, yeah. That's how I would expect the wife of Lovecraft to look at people.

I kinda like The Colour Out Of Space and The Mountains of Madness.

shadow out of time was interesting i thought, even if it did have a lot of plot holes

Hmmm, I quite like Lovecraft's work but I have to agree it isn't terrifying at all. I especially liked the stories involving Randolf Carter, but again, I wasn't looking for some horror literature. :p
