"i'm not putting that in my pants"

and what about most comon prases said on the forums...
"What the hell does that say guybrush_guy?"

"What can you tell me about...Voodoo..."

DJ Souza · 09-08-2004, 08:30 PM

"That doesn't work" was already said, but I also remember hearing a lot the slightly different "That doesn't seem to work".

"I do not understand [text command]"

MDMaster · 09-09-2004, 12:06 AM

Yeah, unfortunately most of the time games get re-dubbed and also most of the time the result is quite horrible, I have witnessed endless translation errors, phrases spoken without any convinction, strange voices that do not seem to fit, games that have the introduction dubbed and not the rest... really, you name it.

The only game that I liked better translated was Sam & Max, but it's quite difficult to explain the reason, let's just say that the actors were told to go crazy with the material, and they really did!

Ah, the genius. I did that myself, which only shows how adventures can be used for making hip hop music.

Quite a few variations of "It won't budge", "I can't move it", "It won't open" and the such.

Also "I need a key".

Fianally "I'd better leave that alone" or "I don't need that".

"I think they'd see me walking out of here with that" when trying to pick up the giant cat statue in Grim Fandango was cool

'right...walk to the sun' -guybrush (not sure if that's totally correct.)

Dragonrose · 09-09-2004, 12:53 PM

"You can't reach"

Which is particularly annoying when obviously the stupid character COULD reach, because the whatever-it-is is right in front of his/her face, but there's just no custom message.

"its locked' or the dor is locked' or 'its stucked'.

MDMaster · 09-10-2004, 10:09 AM

One that stuck with me a long time was from Sanitarium: 'How am I supposed to get there?' which was spoken everytime there was a broken bridge or something and you told the character to go to the other side. It was pretty stupid since even without that phrase, the player surely could understand why Max wouldn't bother to go there.

I always think of that phrase whenever I'm mad at AGs
