![]() A God Am I: AM loves to use religious overtones while tormenting the five survivors, such as speaking to them through a burning bush or having a legion of archangels deliver the mangled bodies of Ellen and Nimdok after he nearly killed them in an earthquake.However, America's AM eventually gained sentience and absorbed the other two A.I.s and, in his frustrated rage of his programming preventing him from using his limitless power, wiped out all of humanity except for the five survivors. Is a Crapshoot: AM was originally three A.I.s designed by the US, Russia and China to wage war. After the End: AM wiped out all life on Earth with nuclear weapons, keeping only the five survivors alive in its underground complex so that it could entertain itself by torturing them for eternity.Subverted in that he only does this to trigger subconscious memories of her rape. Affectionate Nickname: AM refers to Ellen as dearest and my love.Averted in the former's case in that this was not his given name, but was assigned to him simply because AM enjoys strange sounds and pronunciations, and to indulge the Evil Is Petty trope. Aerith and Bob: Meet the main cast: Ellen, Benny, Ted.Adaptational Angst Upgrade: The radio drama is somehow even more of a downer ending than the book Ted doesn't even have the smidgen of happiness he got from killing the others, and instead outright resents that he's the victim of AM's hate and not them.Accent Adaptation: In the audiobook by Harlan Ellison, he gives Nimdok and Ellen the German and southern accents respectively that they had in the video game.It is possible that some of these scenes were deleted in fear of causing controversy, or for pacing or atmosphere reasons.Ī playable version of this game with the extended scenes has yet to surface. In the final version of the game, Benny killed Brickman because he found him too weak for his very harsh standards. This strongly implies that, in development, Brickman was Benny's secret gay lover thus, he murdered him to protect his reputation and did the same to the other soldiers who witnessed his act. ![]()
