Can you get some really good images of the sign of Metatron (sp?)

Thanks!

Actually, I lied

I want the best possible image of this iconography:

I can't find a good image of it anyfuckingwhere. Also, I'm not sure what it is a symbol for. I don't think the metatron symbol is even in the game.

Check it out! I see at least one symbol connection here (the double circle for round on the good spirits side) and possible more (sinister symbol in the center?). I need a better image of this damn symbol.

Anyways, this amount of depth is really good for a game. This is because of the art direction, and even if some people miss the point of the game, or gloss this stuff over, it's still there. I am constantly floored at how deep this game goes and am always learning more. I am convinced that a gigantic essay could be compiled about this game without hardly talking about it as a game, just symbolisim and iconography.

Anyways, I would love to sit around and chew this over with a few people in a coffee shop setting or something. Perhaps even with a program that would allow a free-camera type exploration of the game.

Shall we dare talk about what the monsters mean? (I would honestly like to explore the iconography a bit furhter.)

Oh yes, Lynch. I forgot about the heavy Lynch influences on the first two games.

This is a fantastic thread.

EDIT:

Man :( I was just going to post what someone else had done that a friend found for me:

But I guess you already did that. . .

Anyways, I'm glad that you grabbed the other side of that prison cell, I really wanted to know what that was. Any chance of blowing them up, cleaning them up and then deciphering them?
