#NotDOS, but still the most unlikely ad to feature Elvira
Personal Nightmare, the first of Horrorsoft games, but not an Elvira license despite the company logo featuring her
Also I'm fairly certain that in WaxWorks you would originally talk not to your uncle, but to Elvira. They dropped the license during dev.
I mostly think that because if you think about it, the family plot in WaxWorks doesn't make any sense.
Replying to @AveTory
I know for a fact it was supposed to be. As far as humour though, the first two games weren't funny, except for her dialogue.
See kids, back in the day videogames didn't shove zombies into every single franchise, so they were cool sometimes
Replying to @AveTory
In a way it's a waste of the license because the games weren't funny & Elvira didn't really take part in them
Replying to @AveTory
They were fine games, but as WaxWorks proved, they were just as good without her in them.

So DOTT SE will have an option for a classic ui or a new verb coin. Also there will be an option for the classic sound blaster soundtrack :)
The audio is taken from the original voice recordings and is uncompressed! Yes! Fuck YES!
Though it's weird that it wasn't the case with Grim Fandango. 1993's recordings were intact, but 1998's weren't?

And this is why it's silly to discuss any kind of topics with memes.

Replying to @Campster
Oh yes. That show I do watch as well. :)
Ash vs Evil Dead pilot verdict: it's.... well, it's a tv show. It feels like one, it looks like one, it certainly has effects budget of one
Very little Evil Dead about it. However, at least it tries to play horror aspects straight, even though between the cheapness & the absense
of any sort of suspense, it really doesn't work that well. It pains me a little to see Evil Dead get distilled into this.
However, the great part, as expected, is Bruce Campbell. NOT Ash, but good old Bruce doing incredibly goofy shit. Very funny.
And that's a reason good enough for me to keep watching.
Raimi even managed to play around with camera speeds a little & do a little pixilation (stop motion in real world, like in ED2 and AoD)
But I fucking hate that modern orange & teal look. Everything is fucking glowing so much and blue is so bright.
Replying to @AgustinCordes
Could have been worse though.

And he hated all the songs.
