I think this is a proof that MS is in fact not a human being.

The Island is lighted by lightblubs hidden through-out the Island.

I agree with MS, since organisms living off the rocks wouldn't cast a shadow on Sandaime. Or maybe it was just artistic license. I like the organism idea, since it expands Cave Story's limited ecosystem. But the electric lights theory has a sci-fi feel to it.

What, besides the Robots {Which are also an anime thing}, in Cave Story is Sci-Fi?
Besides the Lights, of course.

Yeah, but we could think up all sorts of cool power sources for the lights. Oh, and the teleporters and computers, for that matter. I guess it's probably localized, but how could a teleporter at the bottom of a hole (Labyrinth) be hooked up to a power source, unless it runs throughout the entire Island?

Um, wouldn't that fall under Fantasy...?

Maybe the Teleporters runs on a self-powered Generator, that turns on after certain conditions have been fulfilled, which were set by the weird creators themselves :D

I always figured that the teleporters and computers were created by the humans that used to live on the island.
And holy crap, that just gave me an idea, and it's probably been discussed already, but those Cthulhu people are described as "the island's native inhabitants". Well, to me they just look like a guy in a frog suit. Maybe that's what they are. Perhaps they are those humans, hiding from something. Something like Ballos, or...
I should make a new thread. Disregard that last paragraph.

Hold on a second, are even sure there's more than one Cthulhu?
From what you see in the game, it's pretty easy to assume there is only one....
..Well, wait, I guess not, considering Grasstown/Bushland...
..Still, I always liked to think there was only one...
XD

This has been said before, but the Cthulhu are in plural in the credits. Aww... Unless the Chtulhu in Grasstown, so to say, took a shortcut.

Keep your opinions and old memes to yourself. A think it's really funny. Maybe that's because I'm a film student who plays video games.

First, it's a trope, not a meme, and second, how would that be a contradiction, anyway?

Great...now what's a trope? XD

And if it was a meme {I think it is.}, it would have been a contradiction because he would have been telling MS to stop using memes, when he himself just used one, prior to MS' post.

Well, I guess that's hypocrisy, not Contradiction...
Still, I love that word =D
{Specially yelling it...}
