According to the fictional history of the books, two of them were in Massachusetts. Well, i bet this was one of the reasons, why the island in "Alone in the Dark - The New Nightmare" is near the coast of Massachusetts. Looks like they've been inspired by Lovecraft aswell.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alone_in_the_Dark:_The_New_NightmareMarionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193968969153274146.post-61322996479232136932010-03-05T12:19:22.942+01:002010-03-05T12:19:22.942+01:00TO ANYONE WHO STILL WANTS TO READ THE ACTUAL NECRO...TO ANYONE WHO STILL WANTS TO READ THE ACTUAL NECRONOMICON: <br /><br />T H E R E <br />I S<br />N O<br />S U C H<br />T H I N G!<br /><br />The book of the dead, work of the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, is fictional!<br /><br />Sure, there are collections of Lovecraft's (or lovecraftian) stories named like that, but you are not going to find the real thing because it is not, well... real.<br /><br />At least I think it's not...<br />I'm not sure anymore.<br />We do "live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity"...<br />Who knows?<br />These dreams...

It's just again one of Lovecrafts great ideas. ;)<br /><br />2. A budget-game for the Xbox360 got my attention in the last weeks. "Deadly Premonition" (survival-horror), maybe you've already heard about it. Unfortunately it's not available in Europe... which really sucks... hopefully they'll release it here aswell. Anyway, the number at metacritics is really interesting: 48! because the critics are really different. 2/10 from IGN, but 7.5/10 from 1UP and 10/10 from Destructoid. But the more important thing: the gamers loved it. <br />http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/deadlypremonition<br /><br />3. I'm a(n) author/storywriter btw., but i'm still at the beginning, cause i'm still 20 years old. Anyway, games like Penumbra are a fantastic experience and inspiration for me and well, who knows, maybe we'll be partners one day. :)<br /><br />I wish the team good luck and the best for the future.Marionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193968969153274146.post-35281335054939239562010-03-04T22:40:36.622+01:002010-03-04T22:40:36.622+01:00i herd about "the call of cthulhu", this...i herd about "the call of cthulhu", this story was pretty great, i also played the role playing game with one of my freinds, in fact, my freind was obsessed by "the call of cthulhu" , i personnaly d'ont, i hate tentacle!! :S<br /><br />my freind tell me there was a kind of book made with human skin and written with human blood, in arabic language, this is why i like Lovecraft: he always got the way too creep the hell out of evreybody!<br /><br />p.s. there's also a translated version of this flesh-book, it will be awesome if someone share the name?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193968969153274146.post-54061612905258480472010-03-04T22:00:23.727+01:002010-03-04T22:00:23.727+01:00Mario:
