New discoveries on the lifespan of baconlara!

cococomics_pres · 28-06-05, 03:18

Hello everyone. I was just playing through the part with streakybacon-lara, and made some key discoveries:

1. After you dump her in the lava, she's still alive

2. While she's in the lava, she will still act like a crumpled up lara, pulling out guns, etc.

For some reason baconlara has always fascinated me. Discuss

Streakybacon-lara? Crumpled up Lara? I'm not sure I understand...

I think CP is at the Tomb of Qualopec level with the streaky bacon mummies!

The streaky bacon men are indeed those charming mummies (

), but the streaky bacon Lara in particular is the fake Lara who mimicks the original Lara's movements in Atlantis and you have to lure her in the lava pit for the exit to open for you and for Lara.

She's so annoying

And I wonder what the heck she's doing there... Someone in Atlantis must have known beforehand that Lara would pass from that place, and played that nasty trick on her

Yeah and whenever you hurt her you lose health, I didn't think of her. Been a while since i've played TR1. She would only be alive in the lava though till Lara ran out of health wouldn't she?

But i always though right, like wehn you shoot her, it takes life out of Lara, so if you dropped the fake Lara in lava, dont you think that should take life out of Lara aswell?

It would have worked great in a cut-scene as a Total Recall rip-off..

(Goon points gun at Lara)

Lara : Hahahaha. Hahahahaha

(Goon lowers guns)

Lara : You think this is the real me? It is!

(Lara blasts goons)

Actually this would have been an awesome intermezzo

Ohhh yes! I've never heard the term 'Streaky bacon Lara' before, but now I understand. Thanks for clearing that up. Funny term!

Atlanteans are immune to lava, I saw them walking on it a couple of times when I played the game. Maybe that's why Lara doesn't fry when the creature (whom I named Mirror

) falls into that pit. It doesn't really get killed, it just gets trapped in there and, having nothing better to do, lays down and takes a nap
