Yeah, that's something I don't ever want to see rise.

Don't be so crusty about it.

Since the bread puns are so abundant, couldn't you have come up with one that wasn't already used?

I actually instinctively yelled at a car who had seemingly honked at me in game and then felt rather silly for it. Thankfully my cat was the only witness and nobody listens to him anyway.

Yeah, he should roll his own.

Nemesis can't make bread - he spends all his time loafing around in Ouroboros

Some of these jokes are really below the cut. Talk about going against the grain...

We need a "Hey! I'm walking here!" emote.

Personally, I'd be happy if civilians just stopped sliding along without moving their legs. That's totally freaking me out that they get an invisible Power Slide when I can't even get the visible one.

Seriously, can we fix those stupid animation bugs already?

Coincidentally, I haven't see any NPCs shouldering logs around anymore.

Easily the worst part of I17.
Those two sounds aren't too bad - there was a third one in closed beta that actually sounded like you were in pain - but that was dropped after feedback

Not nearly as bad as the high-pitched squeal that they had added to Fly.


Then there are the foot stomps of the MM Bots. Which just last night, I changed the sounds of. My friends in Skype were wondering what I was laughing at (one of them had a Bots MM), and I explained to them that I had changed their Bots' foot stomps to 'rubber duckie' squeaks.

Does everyone remember the short period when the 'eye beam' animation had you screaming?

Here's the flip side of that.

I used to play a couple of games, Thief and Thief 2: The Metal Age, which, if you are not familiar with it, requires you to avoid contact with enemies. This means you have to be hyper-aware of ambient lighting and even the slightest sound. To boot, the environments - Thief in particular - had environments that made Dark Astoria look like an amusement park. I could at times actually feel my heart pounding in my chest.

I played this game a LOT, and found that in real life, I would be hyper-aware of sounds. I was aware of the slightest sound outside my office door, particularly footfalls. Moreover, I found myself preferring to walk in less brightly lit areas, even (at that point, instinctively) avoiding any surface on which a beam of sunlight fell.

I decided at that point I needed to back off playing Thief.....

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Wait until you have to stand in the traffic circle with Ghost Falcon on P.I. for a half-hour upgrading all your expired Enhancements.

Won't be a-gigglin' then, I betcha.

As another poster mentioned, I live in the city. Car horns quickly get relegated to the "I don't even hear them any more" region.


Dec out.
