Icon of Sin

[Guest Bobbert005]

This has been bothering me for quite some time....exactly what is it that the big demon says on map30? I remember hearing what it meant, but I have now forgotten. Would somebody mind telling me?

Something about "end of the emeralds..."

[Linguica]

End of the emeralds? WTF? No, it's

"oremoR nhoJ ,em llik tsum uoy ,emag eht niw oT"

Which backwards is

"To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero"

[Guest Bobbert005]

Thanks, Ling. Coincidentally, At the end of the Half-Life: Opposing Force, The boss says a similar backwards phrase: "To win the game you must kill me, Randy Pitchford" Randy Pitchford is the leader of the development team at gearbox software. Don't know whether or not his head is on a stick, though. Scary, huh?
