Wetas

[FlamingDeth]

They make ray guns now.

Quake in fear.

[evilkillerpoptarts]

Man, those things are utterly terrifying. After reading about them in the wiki I had a hard time sleeping, and they live on the opposite side of the globe from me.

*shudders in revulsion some more*

Actually, I think a weta with a ray gun might be less terrifying than the bug simply existing. It gives it a more comedic effect, though it might just be lulling me into a false sense of security...

[BrainWalker]

That's exactly what they're doing. They're clever little bastards. Or large bastards.

[Endesu]

Wait, what?

The only mention of Wetas that I see on this site is the title of the site - 'Weta Holics'. I fail to see the connection between the insects and the construction of deadly weapons of the future.

Disclaimer: The following scenario is a dramatized reenactment.

*A medical assistant rushes into the thread, wailing loudly. Seated at his desk is a world-renowned physician and surgeon, reading the newspaper.*

Assistant: Doctor, doctor!
Doctor: What's all the fuss about?
Assistant: It's...it's terrible, doctor! You have to see for yourself!

*The physician rises slowly from his desk. The panicked medical assistant leads him down the hallway into the emergency room operating theater, where he begins to inspect the patient.*

Doctor: My God! I haven't seen a case this bad in years!
Assistant: What is it? What's wrong with him?
Doctor: *removing a pair of latex gloves* There's nothing I can do for this man. He was dead before you put him on the table.
Assistant: But doctor, why? What happened to him?
Doctor: *sniffing and adjusting his coat* I'm afraid his sense of humor gland has ceased functioning.
Assistant: *bawling* NOOOOO! He was SO YOUNG! He had SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!

Sorry, Captain, our scanners are failing to pick up on any Funny in this quadrant.

It's what's known as wetahumor.

This was amusing, as it actually involved an unexpected play on words.

Honestly, though, don't take my above words too seriously. Simply put, I've grown to hate every single insect that has ever existed in any place ever since Indigo Prophecy.

[Idran1701]

Even pillbugs? :(

[PriamNevhausten]

End gains two points.

One for reminding me to play more Indigo Prophecy.

The other for being right in stating that wetas have nothing to actually do with that page.

[Endesu]

I'm undecided on pillbugs. I do like how they roll up into a ball. It's oddly amusing.

One for reminding me to play more Indigo Prophecy.

I honestly don't know if I can recommend playing it any more than necessary. Things start to fall apart at some point past the sequence involving gigantic hallucinatory insects chasing Lucas about in his office... and only get worse from there. They apparently had to rush development and so shove in all of the story at once, which basically led the way for some of the worst plot twists of all time to surface. (The Internet is trying to kill me! Matrix fight! Mayan panther chase! Far too many frustrating recon sequences! Hobo resistance! Necrophilia!)

I found I lost interest after that bit at the fairground (assuming multiple paths hadn't come into play by then). Up until then it was an enthralling experience.

Except for that interactive sex-scene. Why?

I think there were only three endings, and I only got the worst one... I wish someone could have played the game while I watched, because I was too busy concentrating on the flashing lights.
