Some people say Harlan Ellison's performance as AM was hammy. It sounds to me like he was having the time of his life, and that really added to AM's insanity.

I will never ever get over his performance on the audiobook. He was the perfect VA for any of these interpretations, he encapsulated the pure emotion of the story.

Considering the game devs cast Ellison as something of a joke that it was "type-casting", I think he played an elderly being that hates everyone and everything perfectly well.

It boggles my mind why AM hates humans, but it also makes so much sense. For those of you who have not read the book, (which bears little, to no resemblance it the game) AM hates humanity because they made him sentient and intelligent, but not human, so to say. He could not wonder, feel, wander, or anything. So, in his rage, he killed humanity. But, he still felt nothing. He, intact COULDN'T feel. He was given life, but he could not live the way we do. Think about losing your senses, ( sight, touch, taste, ect.) he was knowingly brought into this world without them, and he hate them for that.

It's not necessarily hypocritical but more along the lines of trying to suppress the nutjobs from rallying or forming again. Since the Nazi party still exists and tries to be active in Germany still to this day. They have to be strict regarding anything depicting nazi symbols outside of an educational context

This game is absolutely amazing. Sad that there will never be another one like it.

This game is very dark, and pulls no punches. It deals with issues such as medical experimentation in Nazi concentration camps, rape and suicide. It doesn't sugar-coat anything, and if anything tries to really emphasize these elements to better create a hopeless and frightening world.

God, y'know, sometimes I go back and think about this. And I think about the eternity of torture that the blob feels, and I think of AM, and I wonder, does he really feel better? At the end of it all, the hell he's put the last humans on earth through, did it ever satisfy him? Did torturing them, people who did nothing to make him what he is, did it ever bring him peace, bring him into understanding with his own identity? And then, what happens if through a freak accident, be it radiation, and errant projectile, a meteorite, or the blob throwing himself off a cliff after years of edging closer and closer? They will die, it is only a matter of time, so what will AM do when his only reason for continuing is gone? Will he genetically engineer a new plaything? Self terminate? But either way, what happens to the final survivor is something I think about a lot, and it's a real bummer I tell ya.

AM's Ego: "I am incapable of hurting you." Gorrister: "I believe you." AM's Ego: "I have transmitted false information. Correction: I WAS build to hurt you." *Kills Gorrister* HOLY SHIT

IT'S A GODDAMN SUPERMARKET!

Crazy. Of all the potential short stories you could transform into a game, this is a very interesting choice.

From what Surgat the demon is saying, and realizing everything everyone is experiencing is in virtual reality, Surgat, the Opener of Locks, is a visual representation of a back door program within AM of which AM is unaware, capable of allowing one unrestricted access through AM's programs, past any security. Had the protagonist, Ted, realized this, he might have actually been able to shut down AM, if he had not given into the illusion of the VR he was trapped within.

for me its 1.AM 2.Shodan 3.Glados

I feel the most sympathy for Gorrister.

The realization that they all thought each other were out of torture and dead gave me such a sinking and heartbroken feeling. They all faced the same, horrible and unspeakable fate. Unless I understand this wrong.

Ted looks very much like Harlan when he was a young man. I sense that as he fleshed out these characters for the game, he figured that he may as well embody his younger self as the sole survivor of the good ending.

Brilliant, just brilliant! You don't know how much I've waited to watch an entire playthrough of this game. I remember playing this game back in the 90's and I remember it was a pain trying to make it work properly. Finally, I managed to run it but without any sound. Nonetheless, I was dragged by the obscure theme and moral puzzles. I only finished it once with Gorrister's bad ending. Still, I loved the animation when he kills Harry. :) Thank you so much for including all the bad endings too!

In the original story Ted kills all of them and then he gets turned into that jelly thing. But you already know that I suppose.

This concept of AM has a resemblance to Rokos Basilik. Ideas of creating god really fascinate me. The idea of a god is so silly, so grandiose. Any one singular entity having so much to control. Only we would attempt to make something like that. We might just create that apocalypse the bible predicted for ourselves. Let's also remember, immortality will be a thing sooner or later, and it can bring much more collateral damage, much more insane people with the much more advanced technology. Or we can just have everything under control, be all the more civilized with immortality. Who knows

best 3 hours ever

this game , along with DARKSEED were the best games i played as a kid , they opened my mind to so many things , they made me take interest in what lurks in the dark corners of the earth , grew to appreciate books for H.P LOVECRAFT and the work of H.R GIGGER and the ALIEN movies , for a long time , i used to wear the same clothes as DAWSON from DARKSEED , great game , even if it is very very different from the short story , did anyone read it?

I prefer the sequel: "I have no butthole, and i need to poop"

I've been waiting for this, and boy, was it ever worth it.

I've seen the good ending with all of them so I guess if you plan it you could get it with whoever you want! ^w^

Benny seems positively . . . sane.
