The Darkness (new video game) has R Stoned Lyric on wall

[underneathheaven]

I dont know if anyone has seen the latest issue of EGM magazine. Electronic Gaming Monthly is a videogame mag for those who dont know. Anyhow, the latest issue (with the wii and ps3 on the cover) has an article on a new game called The Darkness. There are some screen shots of the game and on page 39 there is a shot of a guy walking around some room. On the wall of this room you can see bits and pieces of "Me? The chosen one? They chose me?" and the part about not graduating from highschool is cut out of the shot. Anyone else spot this? Whats up this quote in the game?

so i emailed starbreeze studios about the game and the art director emailed me back and mentioning that these screenshots indeed included lyrics from tool's rosetta stoned:

"There are quite a number of Tool-fans here at Starbreeze (especially myself). We tend to include homage's such as the one you mentioned when we produce art content. This particular case will however not make it into the final game in its current form due to pressure >from the copyright lawyers. We are not endorsed by Tool, and we have never asked them to endorse us.



We are simply fans that sometimes express our love for the band in our work.







All the best,

Now I'm curious to know what other references to TOOL they used, and in what game(s).

What, none of you ever played the Chronicles of Riddick.
It had quite a few Tool references.

The art director has worn a Tool shirt in every picture I've seen of him.
