kopfstoff Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 yeah! fargo is awesome too. or raimi's classic, one of my all time fav's "A Simple Plan" could also fit. the crashed airplane with the dead pilot and the suitcase full of money inside, that changed so many lives.

anomrabbit Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'm not totally certain it would fit, but Fargo. What part? A cabin with a wood chipper? The giant Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrayKnight Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Yea, i was thinking cabin with a woodchipper. (though i wouldn't be powered so that's too bad) And quotes from Marge Gunderson and Carl Showalter. Obviously it would contextually have to fit. But there are all sorts of funny dialogue.

kristian mattila Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 A perfect reference is something you either get or don't, but if you don't, it doesn't feel slightest bit out of place where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_blass Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I would like to see reference to Sir Ranulph Fiennes - let' s say a corpse of the guy who tried to cut off his fingers with a power saw... Or a NPC named Ranulph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalec Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Is the cabin with a wood chipper a reference to Dale & Tucker vs. Evil? Or, to something else I'm missing? Fargo? (I still haven't watched that whole movie. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopfstoff Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 ) the wood chipper in the snow is a HEAVY fargo reference. edit: and if you haven't already, you have to watch it. it's a real classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logang Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I would like to see a dice pop up into the game, and for a chapter you solely made decisions on what is thrown. It could be a veiled reference to "Sheldon" from The Big Bang Theory (My all time favourite show) where in one episode he ate, traveled, work, watched on TV and everything in his daily life came about by rolling the dice. I love the concept, and have known of people to even do this IRL to either have a change, or to live life on the edge, not knowing what was around the corner. This could be a Mini-game or as i said a chapter, but in a survival situation, would you roll the dice to make life changing decisions for you ??? I think not . . . . . Moooooooohahahahahhahahaha As cool as the Big Bang Theory is, I don't really think an easter egg like this would really fit into a game like TLD. Perhaps if there was a mini-game sort of area that would be cool, something completely outside of the regular game or survival sim aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TattooedMac Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 As cool as the Big Bang Theory is, I don't really think an easter egg like this would really fit into a game like TLD. Perhaps if there was a mini-game sort of area that would be cool, something completely outside of the regular game or survival sim aspect. Yea. . . . . Nah, i dont agree, well to a point. It doesn't have to be a reference to TBBT, but the genre of Book's that were out when i was a kid. The Choose your own Adventure Books, where i would spend hours and hours getting complete different stories, and i remember filling up pages and pages of page numbers and which tangent i went on. It would be cool to see this , say left in someones home, and once you found it, in the next 24 hrs, you HAVE to roll the dice, to see where it takes you, and you either take the road that was set out by the roll of the dice, or you gamble and not take the road the dice set out, and risk loosing something ?? But ultimately its only a 24hr in game thing. Its found in a old cookie tin, tobacco tin, or similar with a story about the person theta left it there and the reference that he loved the Choose Your Own Adventure Books and because of that, that is how he followed his life . . . . . . But i think this might be more suited in the IF YOU COULD ADD ONE GAMEPLAY ELEMENT TO THE GAME WHAT WOULD IT BE? thread, where ill post this too. . .. ?!?!?!? Now I'm confused lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppaukko Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm a fan of Metal Gear Solid series and I'd be a happy camper if I saw some kind of reference to Solid Snake's time as a dog musher (I've no idea if that's the proper way to say it) in Alaska. Maybe leave some kind of tape behind that the player can listen to (wink wink, David Hayter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwonder Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I would like to see the dollar amount of kickstarter money invested pop up somewhere. Maybe as coordinates on the map of a place you can go to where you find a bunch of mini hinterland games to play. maybe a newspaper/magazine article about the kickstarter funding for the game sitting on a table. maybe a rocky outcrop/forest/grassy meadow that looks like the hinterland logo from above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meg_rector Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I think it would be amazing to see the phrase "Alas, Babylon" scratched into the side of an abandoned barn or something. Or is that just too obscure? Another cool reference would be to either Zachary Bass, the protagonist in the movie A Man in the Wilderness, or his real-life counterpart Hugh Bass. Who knows, we might be facing some of the same obstacles he did. I wonder if I'd know to save my life by crawling to a rotting log and letting the maggots eat the infection out of my gangrenous leg? Or be able to set my own broken leg, or figure out how to cover my open wounds while crawling through the dirt and muck? Maybe we'll come across an injured animal and have to decide between eating it and helping it. A reference to the Tom Hanks character in Cast Away? Finding a pair of ice skates in an abandoned shack, that I can take with me to use as a tool? Or a FedEx box containing a randomized item? Or is that too silly?

meg_rector Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm not totally certain it would fit, but Fargo. Lol! How about a wood chipper out back behind an abandoned trapper cabin? An ice scraper poking up from the snow? (Oops, didn't mean to do a double post. Is that taboo here? Doesn't look like I can delete this, either.)

ExaPaw Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 You know what'd be cool? A tic tac toe game in a lone cavin. You could set your "x" and after the next sleep/night there would be an "o" set by someone. And if you win, you'll get a hot choclate and some cookies.

colepappa Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I would love to see some Big Foot references like maybe some giant foot prints that have an audio comment when you stare at them that say "wow, look at the size of those prints" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
