Hey what's up with all these eye hand bosses?

Have you ever wondered why there are so many boss battles that involve a big monster that has eyes in the palms of its hands? Brian David Gilbert has wondered that, so he decided to look into it.

[@sdtwirix1126]

I don't know if you're still looking for a reason to show them, but if any of them have an interest in video games, you could tell them this an interesting video in regards to game design. Maybe show them some vids by Design Doc or Razbuten's "What gaming is like for a non-gamer" series, or even a few of Gaijin Goomba's Yokai Hunters videos to get them in the mood, then hit them with this when they least expect it.

[@primoridalspatula663]

I don't know if you're still looking for a reason to show them, but I recommend making a 2 story, self propelling, steel hand eye monster and send it to demolish your house. Then tell them that the only way to stop the terrifying monster is to watch the entirety of this video. I would also recommend adding a massive thermite bomb inside the monster that detonates after 7 and a half minutes.

[@sonatab2646]

is anyone else getting strong twilight zone energy from the idea of having a stranger show up at your housewarming party with an amulet that he tells you to hang by your door

[@PyromaniacDelta]

Good start, but we need the Twilight Zone Twist. How about the amulet protects you from one home invasion by forcing the would-be burglar to take it to a new home and give it to another complete stranger? The recipient wakes up to find a bunch of valuables in the middle of their living room, but the only thing missing is the amulet. Cut to the burglar slipping into a house warming party, and reenacting the opening scene with the new recipients, then stepping out of the party and slowly realizing the spell is broken.

[@natalyn139]

PyromaniacDelta i had been thinking more along the lines of something terrible happening because they end up accidentally breaking the amulet, or maybe intentionally disposing of it, but this is very good too. we should join forces as a writing team

[@PyromaniacDelta]

I'm always game for a collaboration. Are we building on this, or did you have another premise in mind?

One boss of a similar vein I particularly like is the Dollmaker from Alice: Madness Returns. It’s doll faces in its hands rather than eyes, but it’s similar enough and one of the more interesting bosses I’ve fought, especially given the amount of symbolism involved. Alice is such a cerebral, charming and creepy game. It’s one of my all-time favourites.
