I did not know about this.
I like H R Giger, I like Debbie Harry.
How did it take 'till 2024 for me to stumble upon this?
I met Debbie Harry about 20 years ago at Parade in the French Quarter. It was either Parade or Rawhide.
I was absolutely lit up like a fucking firetruck, and she was too. She shook my hand and told me she loved the wicked cocaine there. I knew who she was at the time, and remember being frozen and not able to talk, despite attempting to do all the coke on the fun side of bourbon street.
Also met Lady Miss Kier at a party at the State Palace, back when parties there used to be a thing.
Dark Seed 2
Jesus, that's a blast from the past. I don't recall it being the most immersive video game experience, Clive Barker won the weird 90's horror game thing.
It's a truly bizarre game, mix of intentionally and unintentionally weird. It had a license to use Giger's art though and basically cobbled together all it's "dark world" characters and environments by photoshopping his most famous paintings together.
For example - this is basically the background to that video clip, but in the game it's Ik and Uk - two guards with funny "dumb-guy" voices who give Mike Dawson the ol' "one guard tells the truth and one lies" puzzle.

I just found the visual jarring and yeah it's weird, don't think I made it far. Might have to spin it up again, something my 2010 macbook can handle!
I could never really get into it myself actually because gameplay wise it kinda sucks, it's very much one of those "use everything on everyone until you find a trigger that lets you move on" type adventure games. I mostly remember it from a couple of let's plays and I liked this retrospective a lot.
There's one pretty famous let's play of it from back in the day, though there's a lot of 2000's era edgy humour in it, so I'm loath to really recommend it.
