CAUTION! PASSING SAFE DEPTH... by NoelTheChristmasCat

CAUTION! PASSING SAFE DEPTH...

NoelTheChristmasCat

Well, this weekend didn't start off particularly fun, but I think it's safe to say this more then makes up for my lack of productivity in every other department.

I lost nearly my entire weekend to a little game called Subnautica, which I'm having to regulate myself on cause it's more addicting to me then any MMO you care to mention, bug ridden mess it unfortunately is...

Anyway, like most players I eventually went to the map edge (here charmingly called "the void") and tried to drop off the face of the earth, eventually making it down to about 3000m and reaching a point where I could literally go under the world map! Now, I had two friends watching at the time, who were asking for justification why at this point I piss bolted for the surface (the way I'd like to think ANY SANE PERSON WOULD AFTER FINDING A LITERAL DOOR TO HELL UNDER THE SEA!) and it was largely cause I was afraid of running into some enormous, eldritch monstrosity put down there to keep beta players out! Even bigger then some of the already confirmed leviathans!

Well guess what? Somebody wrote a creepypasta esque story called "THE THING..." about just that, and I found and read it just after enacting this experiment! Yeah... I'm pre-emptively dreading my next trip to la-la-land.

You can read the story right here and I highly recommend it, as it's pretty well put together, even if imagination is half the battle. http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:19154 I did my best to recreate it and damn... needless to say, I want this creepy SOB in the game right now! It would easily be the most shit-your-pants moment in the game, and that's saying something!

Oh yeah, ps: I would've probably formatted the resolution a bit better, but about halfway through it, I accidentally cropped the thing, saved, and got stuck with this. Well, it still turned out the way I hoped it would at least.
