I don't like her voice and the constant "like"s. Makes it sound silly and ridiculous, not at all like what it actually is.

Damn, the title got my hopes up that Headfirst got funding to make Destiny's End. Even with all of it's problems, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is one of the best games I've ever played.

IA! IA! CTHULHU FHTAGN!
Nice little vid. Sums up Call of Cthulhu nicely.
Also, I liked CoC:DCotE for as far as I could play it. Too bad it's buggy as all hell.

This video caused me to spit wheatabix all over my keyboard! The Valley Girl voice I really liked!It was clearly used for comic effect!

Reminded me of Valley Girl by Frank Zappa!

Yep, pretty much.

Although it doesn't let you imagine all the full horrors of a chibi C'thulhu bas relief.

I still don't get why people are frightened by Lovecraft's stories. Though CoC:DCotE made me shit my pants.
People are still a little freaked out by his stories because he describes a world in which man is basically powerless, and definitely NOT the oldest/strongest/smartest creature around.
But they can be mostly explained away by insanity and the contradiction of people. Also even if C'thulhu were real, I see no direct threat. He and his fellows have been dormant for so long, that I don't see stuff changing any time soon, and what's more they all died for a reason (they didn't really care about their own lives), so that's kind of bound to happen again and most likely before all of humanity is destroyed. Pure chaos is flawed in the just that. Anything can happen. As well as the possibility of blinking out of existence in the blink of an eye.

Like the colour out of space - most probably insane levels of radiation, causing people to go mad and die. A bad storm here and there, some sleep deprivation, and everybody else is shitting bricks too.

You sort-of answered your own question . . .
Points to you sir, but as scary as a statuette of a sleeping god is. It's still just stone.

Read "The Colour Out of Space", then take a drive down a lonely country road. I'll bet your heart beats a bit faster.

That's pretty good damn funny.

Reminds me of the 30-seconds bunnies [http://www.starz.com/bunnies].

There is a Let's Play of DCotE up on YouTube by Helloween4545, he makes pretty entertaining videos :)

No. Just no. It's not accessible, and it definitely isn't funny. I don't understand the Cthulu....I don't know, mythology any better I did before I watched. Now I'm just confused and annoyed.

And by the way, you can't just talk like an idiot and magically make everything easier to understand. That is NOT HOW THINGS WORK!

That was fucking awful.

Every time she says "like" in a context that doesn't demand it, I kill a kitten.

The point of cthulu was that he wasn't really asleep in the way we understand it....and he knew of us, and hungered for our minds and flesh, with only the fragile bars of his prison keeping him from consuming us in ways we don't dare comprehend....
And his agents chip and chisel away at those bars, gleefully and patiently, ignorantly praying for our doom whilst freeing a monster that knows nothing of loyalty, but everything of hunger.
