A-heh.... I hope you made a marathon session of it. The true whatthefuck-ness simply can't be fully appreciated otherwise.
Oh, btw, according to eeggs.com, the Lain DVDs have easter eggs buried in them. I don't remember the specifics, but if you don't mind crawl-over ads, you can check out their listings.
Quote:It depends on which Lain he sees.
I get the feeling that Doug would pop on his magesight, get a good look at Lain, and find a very pressing engagement Elsewhere.
Quote:Oddly enough, I was thinking about the possibility of a Lain step while driving to work today and listening to "Duvet" (I recently burned a lot of anime themes to CD for my driving pleasure...). I haven't a clue what I'd do for a plot, but a snippet of dialogue came to me:
dumping him in after the Reset and having him use "Lightning's Hand" to connect to the Wired--thus attracting Lain's attention--would be good for a nice one-shot mini-Step on the walk.
"Are you the ghost in the machine?"
"No. I'm the ghost using the machine."
I don't know who says what here. It just bubbled out of my subconscious, and it may take me a while to do anything with it.
