AMOUNT OF LINES:
3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 25 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 3 =
85
AMOUNT OF LINE BREAKS:
21
Therefore,
85 x 21 =
1785
According to Wikipedia, the year 1785 was when the hot-air balloon of Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier and his companion, Pierre Romain, deflated and crashed, marking the
very first aviation disaster in history.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword begins with Zelda falling from the sky towards the surface, with Link soon following down in a rescue effort. An aerial disaster, one of the worst to befall the denizens of Skyloft, although it triggered the beginning of the fulfilment of prophecy. Also, this game is the
first event in the chronological timeline of the Zelda games.
Thus, we have in total 4 (four) victims of aerial disaster; 2 real-world, 2 fictional.
Remember this number of 4.
Continuing on; in the thread's title, the OP explicitly wrote: 'Game Design 101 baby!!'
1785 + 101 =
1886
The Order: 1886 is an upcoming single-player action-adventure game scheduled for release on
February 20th, 2015.
Thus:
1 + 8 + 8 + 6 =
23
The number 23 is an
infamously mystical number that has an air of enigma surrounding it.
And:
February 20th, 2015 = 2/20/2015
2 + 20 + 2015 =
2037
What significance does the number 2037 hold? It could be surmised to be a year;
the year 2037, possibly.
Therefore:
2037 - 23 =
2014
2014 is the current year of our present.
2 + 0 + 1 + 4 =
7
7 is widely considered to be a divine and lucky number.
Now; remembering our 4 unlucky victims of aerial disaster (2 real-world, 2 fictional), thus:
7 - 4 =
3
3 is also considered a divine and perfect number.
And:
There are 12 letters in total in the name 'Skyward Sword'; the 12th letter of the alphabet is 'L'.
Whose name starts with 'L'? There are 4 letters in total in the name of the legendary hero Link, who is the wielder of the sword (and 4 is ALSO the number of unfortunate people we've counted). Taking Link away from the sword, you deprive him of his power:
12 - 4 =
8
The 8th letter in the alphabet is the letter 'H'. 'H' stands for 'Hero', which is what Link is.
Link. Hero. Lucky minus the unlucky.
4 letters. 4 letters. 7 - 4 = 3.
Half-Life 3.
Half-Life 3 confirmed for release some time between 2014 and 2037.
