So people who haven't read Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead can understand the reference, its a play following the perspective of two minor characters in Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. But instead of playing the perspective straight, R&G are somewhat aware that things are...off. The two essentially wander through the events of Hamlet as the major characters of that play briefly intersect with the parts that R&G played as occurred in Hamlet. Its a heavily meta play and touches on themes of fate, insignificance, and the line between art and reality. The coin flipping is a reference to an event from the beginning of the play where the two are betting on coin flips and every single time the coin comes up heads. I'M SURE THIS WILL HAVE NO RELEVANCE TO THE PLOT OF THE GAME MMM YES

quote:The "Lamb" will lead us to salvation sounds awfully like the entire premise of Bioshock 2. In fact it sounds so alike that there's no way it's a mere "reference" to the other game. I would at this juncture posit that this game and Bioshock 2 (and by extension 1) are connected intrinsically (not much of a leap given that they're in the same series). A prequel then, to Bioshock 1/2. But I'd assume at this point this Lamb has both something to do with the Girl we're looking for and with the major players of Bioshock itself. Lots of interesting speculation, but to cut this one off at the head, B1 (and Infinite) and B2 were made by two different studios. There are no references or connections between B2 and Infinite. Oh, and piece of advice for anyone who wants to stay unspoiled: do NOT look up the trailer for the upcoming story DLC. It doesn't directly give anything away, but it implies an awful lot.

Bruceski posted:The amusing thing with God Only Knows is that they did such a good job adapting it to barbershop (though the Beach Boys are already pretty much all bout pure tones and harmonies and all that) that it took me a good two minutes of listening to remember that it wasn't supposed to sound that way or exist in 1900. If you search "God Only Knows" on YouTube, the Infinite version currently comes up ahead of the original.
