The mystery is solved. All this time it was His Holiness Guido with his incomparable poisonous power for whom they built a shrine with a large statue, didn't they

Oh, I have plans for the Slug King, if I ever get that far.
I see, so it's a double-layered reference. Never heard of this line either. Well I was going to make a comment about the intrigue of inventing new species to add depth to the Keen planets.Urban Dictionary wrote: "pining for the fjords"
Used to describe a dead person or animal as a way of convincing somebody that the corpse is not, in fact, dead.
First used by Michael Palin in reference to a dead Norweigan Blue parrot in the famous Monty Python Sketch.
Ah yes, the duality of "what if it's not obvious" and "what if somebody did this before". Really though, I love this series for being as cheesy and over-the-top as it is. I think the one pun I had trouble with was the shockshund one ("ohm-bark from here." Was that "embark"?) but even if I don't initially find them amusing they tend to kind of grow on me.
I was looking for it! It's such a fun silly little tagline.
For reference, here's the Saturday Night Live version of the skit, which I personally like better than the original Monty Python version. I generally try to avoid making the jokes dependent on those kind of esoteric references, but I felt like Keen fans would be part of the group that would get it. Might have been a poor assumption on my part.
Even though I used the reference and have watched that skit numerous times, I never understood what "pining for the fjords" was actually referring to. So after some quick research, I found out that Norway (where the Norweigan Blue would presumably be from) is known for its fjords. So basically the bird is yearning for its home--or would be if it weren't dead. The more you know...proYorp wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 23:37I see, so it's a double-layered reference.

Feel free. I would actually be honored.
at the end of ep4 , they use a lever to make the oracle workSoul Monster wrote: ↑Mon Dec 12, 2022 4:41 So the Oracle is basically their version of The Wheel Of Morality from Animaniacs?
I know, but in the comic there was no lever to pull down, they just had to recite the chant. When it prints out its message, you could literally just insert "And the moral of today's story is..." and it would be seamless.jmfmagnum wrote: ↑Mon Dec 12, 2022 22:16 at the end of ep4 , they use a lever to make the oracle work

They mostly just leave it on sleep mode.
And it's questionable whether or not the chanting is even required. It's more like "Hey, we should probably chant so it looks like we're necessary."Soul Monster wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 0:53 I know, but in the comic there was no lever to pull down, they just had to recite the chant.

Lol I think that's in the original cutscene too, at least that's how it seems to me. The way the guy seems to stealthily pull the level hidden in the back immediately after Keen says "This sure is an impressive way to activate the oracle of wisdom!" really seems like it's set up to be a joke. All for show.
Cool thanks! There's a chance you might see it sometime in the next decade.
I'm certainly in no position to criticize anyone's production schedule.
