Amazing. Awesome. Fantastic. All far too small words to describe how awesome that update was. Perhaps it was the music, which was amazing, or the animation, another great, or even the timing, which was superb. However, I'm sure its all three which makes this probably one of the best things I've seen yet. Amazing. Act four's got a lot to live up to.
...is it just me getting the music ending and then cutting back to somewhere in the middle like four separate times? 'cause that doesn't feel like good timing.

I wonder why John abandoned the CosbyTop.  It just goes flying.

That's because he captchalogued his father's fedora after socking that imp in the jaw.

My music is smooth through-out aswell.
I like how non-caring Dave is, but we really know he is.

EDIT:

OK, dudes.  I just saw something.  Rose's house is hit by a small meteor before the big one comes.  Let me snap a picture.

Now then, no speculation about any of that flowery crap in Jade's temple?

Sure... it's a lotus.  That's a symbol of death and rebirth, as well as purity.

It also confirms the idea that her element is earth.


Okay, I now understand the bottle.  It's the equivalent of the vanishing tree that gave John the apple thing that transportalized him from under the meteor.  Which later became that giant white Skaia tree with the helicopter apple.  Rose's spawns or reveals a giant white bottle, which the rocket can the Mayor rode in was actually the cork of.  I don't really like the ironclad symmetry of everything, but at least it makes stuff easy to discern.

Yup.  Symbolically, both cases are supposed to signify the start of a journey (oddly, they're also attached to the idea of marriage).  John eats from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and has to leave his childhood Eden with... well, whoever Eve is.  Then Rose breaks a bottle on the roof of her house, which either means "My house is a ship and I'm starting a journey" or "I'm breaking the wine jug and embarking on married life."

...

Might be reading into it a bit deeply, there.

She wasn't obviously.  That was the bar/bedroom that blew up after Jade appearified in there, remember?

Are you sure it was a meteorite?  The ceiling might have just collapsed due to structural failure.

Well, I want to know where the hell she is.  She wasn't in the EoA 3.  Where is she?  Rose would have run into her by now.

Seven? I count ten, one of which is (not quite) clearly the Skaia logo.

People have also speculated that the objects are a symbol of defiance to their parents habits. John eating a healthy apple while his father makes sugary baked goods, and Rose breaking a bottle while her mom is a heavy drinker.
Maybe Dave will get some Shakespeare in defiance against his bro's sleazy puppets.

Why can't real installers be like this? It's a cool-looking, changing Spirograph, with awesome music to go with it. Instead we get "Loading... Loading... Loading..." or something similar.

Watching Enter again, there's so many little jokes to catch the second time.  I wonder why John abandoned the CosbyTop.  It just goes flying.  And among the tools Strider uses drawing his comic is a "Quality" slider.  He sets it to 0.

It's from GIMP.
