Man, say what you will about this game but it has some really strong visual design. The assault rifle, the ships, those cultists and their emoticon masks, it all has a very cool look to it. I never beat this game (I got stuck and all I remember is a lot of rock walls and snipers) so I'm looking forward to seeing you do so. It's so disappointing that it wasn't a better game, because it had such potential.

Question
At the end of the level, Eridium gets mentioned. This material got kinda famous after being heavily used in the plot and gameplay of Borderlands 2. I tried to research if it gets mentioned in any other game/movie/story, but Google is just so plastered with hits about Borderlands, that I didn't get anywhere. So, do you know if it's featured anywhere else?

I am reasonably confident in guessing that they meant Iridium, which is a real substance with a number of scientific uses. It's just pronounced exactly the same :v:

Yeah, this is definitely the level that caused me to stop playing the game back when it first came out. I'm getting flashbacks because of all those snipers :argh:
