After putting the game aside for a few years to try other games, I finally decided to beatShadow of the Colossus in Hard Time attack mode. I have got almost all the "toys", except for the last one, before I embarked on Wander's real journey though Hard Mode, because I wanted to do more. It was when I got to Kuromori that I said something aloud which changed the perception of this game that I have loved forever. It was three in the morning, I had just woke up, and I had just ate some garlic bread, so my mind wasn't where it should have been. Wander had just been knocked senseless by Kuromori's tail.

I said something to the effect of "Chevy Chase must have written this game".

I don't know what randomly put Chevy Chase in there, as opposed to any other SNL comedian. I could have put Tina Fey in there, or Eddie Murphy or the late, great Richard Pryor. Yet since then I have began to notice "things" about the game, which prove that either confirmation bias is real, or that CC really did write this gamebecauseI see his "signature" all in the game.

Wander get repeatedly knocked around in this game, and his name, Wander. That sounds like something out of the 3 Amigos, or it could have been.

The Dead Girl waking up and it all turns out to be a dream. Wander is sad and this jazzy piano music plays in the background. It reminds me of The Invisible Man (The movie with Chevy Chase, not the book by Ralph Ellison).

The clues to where they are:

"Thy next foe is...
The land where trees nary grow...
It sleeps in a dry lake bed...
A rude awakening."

I still don't know why this reminds me of SNL and National Lampoon's Chevy Chase, but it does.

Argus, Malus and Valus. .. they kind of look like Chevy.

Now I know that the real creator of SOTC isFurnito Ueda, and he's thinking of turning SOTC into a movie. Just wondering if he'll cast Chevy Chase as Dorman.
