In Wasteland 2 there is a museum of pre-war artifacts. One item is an undetonated nuclear bomb. If you monkey around with it you can find a big red button. It is obviously a terrible idea to push the button. If you still decide to push it you get a special game over screen.
on arc raiders yesterday my squad had another one cornered in a room and we got third partied by a much better kitted one. we asked the people we were trying to kill if they wanted to team up and kill the bigger threat and they agreed. and I warned them that the enemy was waiting outside so we needed to be careful…
they immediately ran outside, turned the corner, and I just saw a bunch of bloody mist coming through the open door. afterwards they all crawled back in on all fours and preceded to get set on fire in the hallway by the enemies.
The best part was: this was even in the installer! When setting up your sound card, there was a test button. If it worked, you heard “your sound card works perfectly”. But if you kept pressing it, eventually it would say “enjoying yourself?” And if you kept going after that, in an angry voice, “it doesn’t get any better than this!”
Ah old Blizzard, when even the installers had character.
The old point-n-click flash game Johnny Rocketfingers had a bunch. There was a part where you had to find a way out of a jail cell or something, and if you used the hand tool on a crack in the wall, your character just says “feels cracktacular.”
Oh, and there was the old original You Don’t Know Jack game where if you told the host “fuck you” or something similar in the answer box, they’d just lose patience with you and exit the game for you.
I remember playing “you don’t know jack” and someone accidently hit the buzzer before the question was even on the screen. The host said “okay smart guy, think you know the answer before the question is read? Go ahead.” And the game gave them a blank screen to type their answer into.
In an old version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” for the computer, if you take too long before starting a game, Regis gets pissed at you and starts yelling at you. If you take a bit longer. He closes the game.
I would have swore there was a moment in Disco Elysium where a character makes fun of you for talking like you are trying to exhaust all the options in a dialog tree. But now I can’t find it. Anyone know?
Also a certain obsession with containers, if I recall correctly.
And at some point Kim mentions the detective’s surprising endurance (especially given his physical and mental state) which allows him to keep running tirelessly all over the place.
Spoilers about the later.Turns out Harry was a gim teacher before being a cop, and still has some good health from that time, despite everything that he did to himself after.
Zeepkist. It’s nice to play something that’s absolutely zero stakes every once in awhile. Race the clock in a soapbox derby car with a cute lil character, crash a few times, unlock some interesting stuff.
