Wired 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!

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.

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?

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".

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.

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".

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

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.
