That was inspired. And more than a little creepy.

I'm reminded of the time in one of the reviews yahtzee did where he talked about a monster just having its jaw nailed to its kneecaps, and he showed it with one of his little cartoon people. I still get the shivers from that one.

So, is this new content, or is Yahtzee just reading straight from a college music grad's essay about how The Beatles basically invented music, if not all art forms, as well as happiness and rainbows?

Well, and then adding a bit o' Silent Hill at the end.

We may never know.

And this is what happens when Kross isn't guarding the basement. Somebody get a broom and shoo away the demons please.

Well, I can safely say that was not the direction I was expecting that to go in.

I'd do the standard "I'm one of them now!" joke, but it seems like the text generator I normally use [http://www.marlborotech.com/Zalgo.html] for that sort of gag doesn't work on The Escapist. I guess the staff sprung the extra money for sanctified Hard Drives or something.

I think Yahtzee found the key to the medicine cabinet again.

A broom won't be much good against them. Just surround yourself in a circle of nine candles and chant Ob La Di Ob La Da backwards and you may yet be spared their ire.

Aaaaaand I am insane now. Oh well! Funniest episode ever! I pity and envy which ever brave soul tries to play that backwards. And at the correct speeds.

Further proof that Yahtzee can make literally anything entertaining.

I can't tell if the little bits in the background early on were supposed to be discernible or backwards but it sure got interesting fast.

Don't have the money. I could maybe fund something with hats but I can't imagine what they could do with that.

So now I'm going to be that guy and point out that the apostles Paul and Peter weren't present for the Crucifixion of Christ as Paul was still and Pharisee and wouldn't have cared if that Nazarene heretic had finally gotten what was coming to him, and Peter was running like a ***** after the whole deny him 3 times thing. The only apostle that would've been present there was John: the disciple that Jesus loved, so chances are he was the one with his tits out.

Well spotted about that Eldritch Geometry though, I've always loved the attention to the maddening details that the while album cover boast.

I prefer Revolution 9 backwards - it brings all of the spooks back. ;)

Wonder how this analysis would have fared if he'd used the original style of the album cover. The words were embossed, had no color, and weren't parallel to the bottom of the album. Also, the earliest versions (on both LP and CD) were numbered.
