Sound Effects: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:29, 1 February 2012

During combat, any successful hit will be followed by a string of Batman-like sound effects. They can include:

You hit the Monster

The Monster hits you

The number of sound effects is equal to the square root of the base damage inflicted, rounded up, to a maximum of 10.
If the clown hammer is equipped, the only sound effect used will be SQUEAK!
If Maxwell's Silver Hammer is equipped, the only sound effect used will be BANG BANG! (always in pairs)
If the Rain-Doh yellow laser gun is equipped, the only sound effect used will be PEW!
Creatures that deal cold damage will have their attack messages appended with Brrrrrrrrr. The same formula for the number of sound effects is used, with additional "rr"s being added instead.
If you have the Cybernetic Muscles effect, the sounds effect will be replaced by ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.

Most of the sound effects are a reference to the 1960 Batman TV series, where the fight scenes were accompanied with comic-style captions, such as "WHAM!" and "POW!," that would appear on screen in time with the action.
"BARF!" may be a reference to River City Ransom for the NES, where your enemies would sometimes yell "BARF!" when defeated.
"SOCKO!" may be a reference to Mick Foley's wrestling character Mankind, where he used a sock he called "Socko" on his opponents.
"ZOT!" may be a reference to the Scott McCloud comic of the same name. It may also be a reference to the Internet Oracle.
