TorvaldHOST

Leif EricHOST
yes much better so much clearly
TorvaldHOST
no i love american mcgee's alice and american mcgee's alice returns they're both so good they're great games I found evidence in every Tim Burton movie that I watched that he is essentially casting his partner in some sort of a romantic entanglement with another leading man.
TorvaldHOST
And the sort of entanglement that they have, the romantic relationship that they have seems to be eerily similar from movie to movie.
RyanHOST
No, no, you go the body modification route.

Joe PerezHOST
A good example of this is an IP that is owned through EA that is a cult favorite or beloved by a large number of people is Alice Madness Returns.
Joe PerezHOST
It's American McGee's Alice.
Joe PerezHOST
Like that franchise, which there was supposed to be a third game that never saw the light of day, that by all accounts was finished and ready to go, kind of just tapered off.
Joe PerezHOST
And the rights to it are still held by EA.
Burnie BurnsHOST
Alice what?
Ashley BurnsHOST
That was Alice from American McGee's Alice.
Burnie BurnsHOST
Which is Alice Madness Returns?
Ashley BurnsHOST
Madness Returns was the sequel.
Ashley BurnsHOST
So there were two games.
Ashley BurnsHOST
There was American McGee's Alice and then there was Alice Madness Returns.
Burnie BurnsHOST
It was just called Alice.
Burnie BurnsHOST
That's it, the first one?
BedrothHOST
That is true.
BryanHOST
They just made it creepier with the original American McGee's Alice back in 2000.
BryanHOST
And then this sequel 11 years later in 2011, Madness Returns.
BryanHOST
These were fun games, though.
Sebastian BieslerGUEST
So my mind feels like a fucking dark wonderland right now.
Sebastian BieslerGUEST
And then I just remembered there was, like, this game back in the days, American McGee's Alice.
Sebastian BieslerGUEST
And so the story behind that is, like, Alice comes back from wonderland, and she's sleeping in... she's sleeping in the house with her parents and their parents die in a fire and she hears like the parents screaming and stuff so she gets a psychosis so in this psychosis she's getting back to wonderland and need to fix it so that she can uh yeah and like if you if you finish the game so she's waking up and it's happening whatever but for me it was like this comparison uh to the wonderland by itself it's it's like if you're depressed or you're having a tough time you're always confronted with so many intense but different situations and of course you know it's not real but it still hurts and you have to, I don't know, find a way out of it.
Sebastian BieslerGUEST
And so with Mother Death, this track is about, I really had the feeling that I'm going insane, that I will lose my mind.
Sebastian BieslerGUEST
And I think it was at this specific time when I just thought, okay, this is basically the perfect title for the album.
GloryHOST
Exactly.
GloryHOST
It all just kind of fell into place.
GloryHOST
I mean, you have like that, that own touch of a game that you yourself knew and enjoy.
AbbyHOST
I'm...
AbbyHOST
I, I feel like from when I... 'Cause I did a little bit of research about it when I started playing it, and I feel like Madness Returns, h- you know, the name kind of gives it away, is a bit of a sequel to American McGee's Alice, uh, even though it's often kind of thought of as just a remastered version or something.
AbbyHOST
But yeah, I like it.
AbbyHOST
I like the setting.
