Yes, Godot. He is such the man, that some people spent their entire lives waiting idly for him.or something to the same effect.
I didn't catch it until my second playthough =/

You sir! Go to your library THIS INSTANT!
How could anyone even appreciate Godot's name if they haven't read the famous play that INSPIRED IT!
Oh just go read Wikipedia, it'll be easier

Its a play. One of those that is meant to make you think about existance itself.
I had to read it in drama.
Its about a couple of guys sitting around in a mysterious place waiting for a mysterious man named "Godot"
What the characters dont realize and is up to the reader to figure is that out that they are dead and in limbo waiting for 'god'.
As for the ' referance ' I dont know, I havent gotten that far in the series.

Ahh interesting. That makes me want to read it now
.. Can anyone who's read the play interpret for me why Capcom chose to name him Godot? Just from reading the summary, it sounds more like he would be one of the guys waiting for Godot instead of being Godot himself o.O..

That's a misnomer. In the original French, the name Godot doesn't remotely resemble the French word for 'God', so there's no explicit connection.
Although afterwards, Beckett did say he was prolly inspired by Christian imagery and stories, since that was the background he was raised in.
Otherwise though, the play is really about two guys talking and dwelling on existence.

Definitely should watch it performed; it's a play so it shouldn't just be just read.
I'm still waiting for it to arrive to The Esplanade in Singapore, in whatever form (traditional, or modern re-invention). I WATCHED a filmed play, but as Beckett says: "My play was meant for little men in a big space, not for that small box" or something along the lines of that.
Bah!

Godot! I warned you about making me wait!And speaking of the play... my mother told me that she had to read it when she was studying and it was terribly boring. But she read the book in French, so...

Oh...
Well, I knew it was unauthorized and such, but I felt that it was just such a fanwank that I got angry. Also, I remembered something about baked goods, and attempted to slyly slip that into the conversation.
