A W A R I S C O M I N G
- Y’all Been Warned.

A W A R I S C O M I N G

Zack Kotzer of Steel Bananas fame posted a vague but intriguing note via his Facebook page tonight. Along with the above image, he wrote:

A war is coming.
It brews between conventions
Concepts
It will take your tears and sweat
It will take your hands and blisters
It will take your quarters
It makes strange noises
And it will come
Once it is inside you it lives with you forever
You won’t hate the invader
You will love the invader
No matter what
Isn’t this terrifying?
I’m terrified too
Soon you will know

But what does it all mean? He most likely has created something awesome that he’s waiting to unleash upon the world. Will Toronto or its gaming-loving citizens be the same? We shall see. I just hope he’s not planning on beating everyone up for lunch money again.

    There’s definitely an EarthBound vibe going on here: not only the image, but the lines “Isn’t this terrifying? / I’m terrified too” are directly from EarthBound.

    It could be just a thematic thing, but hopefully it is related to the game; it’s one of my faves.

    I signed up too. What does it all mean? We’re probably all going to be very famous.

    Space Invaders x EarthBound mashup?
