"Oh, you can't help that, we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

Thanks Iggy. I am loony for sure. You know me. And I know me. You *have* to be mad to be me. No sane person would survive being me for even a nano-second. Therefore, I have to be a loony. *THE* Loony Empress, of course.

And I am afraid it is contagious...


But look at the good aspects of it. You have to be pretty very intelligent to be truly nuts. Brink had brains and guess what: He was mad! Of course, he didn't really make use of them, or he would have known that...but I digress. Let's just say that common sense and intelligence sometimes go separate paths.

No, no. That earns you the title of Eccentric, not Madman.

But I know that you are also insane.

Take it as a compliment. Now tell me where Iggy got that quote from.

Very clever. Quoting Carroll again. Shame I haven't actually read it.

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

Brinks madness is the madness of obsession with power. I suppose that being brought back from the dead with alien tech can have that effect on a person.

Supposedly The Dig was made into a game because Steven Spielberg (the man with the original idea) didn't think it was possible to make a realistic film of the story. Does anyone think that, with all the advances in special effects, he should give it a try now?

Sorry for the delay, I was busy doing other stuff.

Once again, Wreck, you've managed to use one of the screenshots that never made it into the final game! Notice the sleeve of the arm: Brink's wearing an orange jumpsuit here, as he was in Brian Moriarty's version. In the final game he's got orange pants and a blue-gray jacket.

Besides, this is a pretty realistic image, whereas in Sean Clark's version the only close-ups of the scene are in the "cartoony" cutscene style.

I'd love to see Spielberg's The Dig film idea realized, but I seriously doubt that it could happen now, especially after the long and difficult process it took to make the game. Besides, the first question for a scriptwriter on that movie would be which version to adapt: Falstein's, Moriarty's, Clark's, or Spielberg's original Amazing Stories script?

All of them! With menu options on the DVD (Special Edition of course) to switch between the different version.
