I was playing Metroid Prime the other day and I had one of those experiences where you see something that you should have noticed, but until that point you hadn't, and then you feel stupid because of it.




It's a door in Metroid Prime, yet it's also a Turquoise Hexagon.

Now, I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but Metroid is a game that would make people nostalgic and look at their childhood in a different light (if however they played Metroid when they were young). Also, if this is meant as a reference, Music Has The Right To Children came out long before Metroid Prime was put on shelves, so there is potential that this is a little bit of BoC in this game....however, unlikely.

hmm...
i always thought the soundtrack sounded more like bola than boc..

Coincidence.

Not necessarily.

What's to stop a developer from working bits and pieces of the things he/she likes into their work?

I may or may not be working on a project right now that may or may not have similar... nods.

IoI, coincidence.

Yeah, metroid definitely has more of a bola feel.

I'll acknowledge that there is a small possibility it might not be a coincidence. But Tim Horton's serves breakfast sandwiches that are hexagons. There is a possibility that's not a coincidence too.

What's this project you're working on? more secrets???

There's also a similar occurrence in Resident Evil 4, in one part you have to find two halves of a stone to open a door and they form a turquoise hexagon shape.

ever since I started listening to BoC I always notice that now.

I don't think so, Tim.

Coincidence.

Seriously, come on.

i can't help but to feel like this has been brought up before. maybe i'm wrong.

it's definitely a coincidence.

Ya, it's only the breakfast sandwich though. and they only serve them in the morning.

Another thing that couldn't possibly be a coincidence: hexagon rhymes with Mexican. I think you can figure the rest out for yourself...

A Boards of Canada fan invented a time machine and went back in time to invent Mexicans and extreme cases of colour blindness so that some people would see them as turquoise coloured.

depending on how you pronounce hexagon.....

It's coincidence* but kinda fun when you notice it. =)


Metroid blast doors or w/e you wanna call them have been around long before that boc album. Just not in 3d form.

ah this has reminded me how much I loved metroid prime 1 and 2 on gamecube, such expansive gaming, associate pure adventure with those memories !

why is this still in the BoC subforum?
