Grim Fandango [Year 2, Part 8]

Manny goes back to his club and speaks with Chowchilla Charlie about getting the Union Card he needs for boarding the Limbo. Chowchilla Charlie wants a favor first, though - and so Manny gets the VIP card for entering the High-Rollers lounge.

I love the mural behind the booths in the casino at the Calavera Cafe. It looks like Gustav Klimt but with skeletons!

Going to nerd out for a second, bear with me. I love stuff like this in adventure games, where simply waiting gives you more details most people miss otherwise. For instance, up at the betting cages on the top floor of the cat track, you can listen to entire races, and they're all different. If you wait long enough, you'll also see an easter egg where the cats visibly round the track below. In Full Throttle, standing and listening to Horace at the souvenirs stand causes him to say a lot of

land of the dead... lies in Europe?

I love Lupe. She has just the right amount of crazy to toe the line between "cute" and "scary."

[trulychloe]

how do you make him slide down the rail?

[crankthetoto]

haha i think i know what you mean, bad associations or something. I watched my brother play this game too lol

[Meovah]

Well, yeah kinda, but it just... I dunno, I can't explane right. I was so little, when my brother played this, so I think that this town left "scars" in my hearth? :D I don't know!

[crankthetoto]

what?? thats the best part of the game!

[Meovah]

I don't like Rubacava :/ That town is so... serious

very funny dialogue that is otherwise missed if you just breeze through.

Obviously these details were put in by the developers for people like me. Anyone else do this stuff?

Unusual request I know, but could you make another video a few minutes long with Manny simply standing in the bar while Glottis plays the piano? Seeing this video suddenly made me want to simply listen to Glottis play a bit while Manny stood there and listened. Maybe take a swig or two of the gold liquor too, or wait until Manny starts to smoke on his own. Thanks in advance if you do this!
