Obsidian:  the nanobots movie.  The incredible scope of the whole project was
breathtakingly conveyed, and the music only enhanced the wonder.  I even DL
this movie off the web to watch it by itself.

Black Dahlia:  the easter egg where Jim gets frustrated with you looking
through the file cabinet, and looks at you angrily, pointing--"You...are
getting on my nerves."  Frustrated sigh..."sheesh...amateurs..."  To tell the
truth, when he looked right at me I got scared to death.  It was like the game
had come to life.  Then I spent the next several minutes laughing so hard I
couldn't play.

Azrael's Tear:  the cathedral.  Simply amazing.  Also, anytime you could hear
Tobias speak.  What a voice!

GK3:  when Gabriel tries some goofy tactic to get admitted to a house, and gets
the door slammed in his face.  Then he says, "I deserved that." LOL!!

MI2:  When Guybrush goes diving for that stone head, after he picks it up he
notes that it's too heavy to allow him to take it to the surface..."and since
this game has no 'drop' function, I'm screwed." :)

Cracking the Conspiracy (beware, this one is quite sick):  When you are caught
and thrown into "The Hole", you have 2 options, and both are death--you can
wait to get eaten by rats, which you never see; or you can pick up the rusty
razor blade lying within reach, slit your wrists, and watch yourself bleed to
death.  I don't know why I found this so fascinating; I guess because it's
original and sick.  Gotta respect that. :)

There is one kind of prison where the man is behind bars, and everything that
he desires is outside; and there is another kind where the things are behind
the bars, and the man is outside.
