Maybe maggots don't like clone flesh.

Sciencing needs to be done to music like Devo, or Man or Astroman?.

The thing, though, that for all that Rusty's father was a great "super-scientist", he was kind of a crappy father. Rusty got lazy because of the clones, but I think he's a little better at it than his dad.

Hey, maybe his experiment worked…

Resign
It's funny that we actually do get an answer, here, and it's often overlooked - possibly because it's not an exciting one. The graphic novel certainly didn't, they went with the schtick that his resignation was over something "dark and mysterious".
Watching "Chimes of Big Ben", it really clicks with the start

Rover could also take bullets (if the shots were genuine) in "Chimes of Big Ben".

No. 2 questions how he actually "died" in Fallout, where he accuses the Village powers of poisoning him - which they don't exactly deny.

And if you should die before you wake…. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

The whole "Ocean House" level of "Vampire: Bloodlines" is fucking creepy. When there's absolutely no 'chilling music' and you turn around to see, briefly, a guy with an axe standing right behind you…
The first pass through Ravenholm in "Half-Life 2" was hideous. Just as soon as you got used to the endless zombies

Lovecraft webcomic
Heartily recommend "Lovecraft Is Missing". Great Lovecraftian webcomic featuring (sort of) Lovecraft.

A lot of it is HPL's personal reaction to living in NYC.

Like a lot of HPL's contemporaries, his Mythos stories are really enjoyable.

I remember having to scour libraries to find one or two short stories, and then Chaosium packages them all together. Truly awesome.

There are two Arkham Horror boardgames - the old 80s one and the newer one that is really, really nice but really, really expensive. (To get the game and all the expansions runs about the price of a low-end laptop)

Still run it occasionally. Great stuff - they seemed to capture the actual spirit of HPL's work, rather than the writers that followed him did.

Yes, there's a creepy building in Fallout3 called the Dunwich Building, full of not only (Fallout) ghouls but weird visions and the diaries of a visitor who goes slowly insane.
The "Point Lookout" DLC actually incorporates it into an appropriately Lovecraftian quest to destroy a Necronomicon-like book.

Arrgghh, should've read further down first.

The two Annotated Lovecraft books are fantastic. Definitely a great way for first-time readers to get into some of his denser works.

A bad day to show a roomful of 4th graders the AVClub comments section.

Cloverfield would be a bad idea - people I know had to leave the theater while perfectly healthy because the jerky camera motions were making them motion sick, watching while actually sick and nauseous would be a Festival of Vomit.
