Tycho's Pubescent Insanity
Posted By: PerseusSpartacusDate: 1/20/16 11:21 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Tycho = Doubt explained? (Lion O Cyborg)

: He even refers directly to Shakespeare in the first level named on his
: work (Poor Yorick from Hamlet): "Hamlet and his uncle, only I'm not
: crazy."

Interestingly, this quote makes it clear he doesn't even understand Shakespeare. He says Hamlet was crazy, but in fact, Hamlet was merely pretending to be crazy throughout the play - and doing a rather good job of it.

One wonders if this is another attempt by Bungie to make Tycho seem puerile, ignorant, insane, and perhaps even demented. A similar example would be these two quotes:

"As Roland broke you to prevent your capture,
so shall we."
- Tycho on Welcome to the Revolution

"Charlemagne used to always call me
Durandana, the fruitcake. All the many
implements of war to him were in some way
feminine. Not that you know the story.

Tycho never got it right either, especially
the part about Roland breaking me. He
couldn't.

No one can."
- Durandal on Feel the Noise
(my own underlining)

It is clear that while Tycho may be a Science and Engineering AI, he certainly has little to no real literary background.

Moreover, there is another example of his pubescent insanity:

Also, notice the word 'TYCHO' in the top left corner of this image:

Yes, I think we can officially declare that Tycho is trapped in puberty while also suffering from some kind of severe mental illness.

Vale,
Perseus
