Quote from PC Gamer interview with Gabe: "So then there are the big moments, we call them the 'money shots', things like the tentacle silo in the original game". 'Tentacle silo'.

Very impressive. It would be churlish to point out that he didn't begin the name with a capital letter :) I believe it should have a hyphen, btw. -- Paul > I believe it should have a hyphen, btw. Take it up with David Bailey: http://tinyurl.com/3etf6 or these guys: http://www.at-theharts.com/english/england/llanfairpwll_e.htm or this team: http://www.31cilygraig.freeserve.co.uk/Peldroed/Images/LlanfairpwllBadge. gif ;) ___ Neil AKA HighVis > Take it up with David Bailey: > > http://tinyurl.com/3etf6 Hmm, maybe Olympus should see the quality of his recent work before they continue sponsoring him. > or these guys: > > http://www.at-theharts.com/english/england/llanfairpwll_e.htm Okay okay, I'll take the railway station as the authoritative designation. Somewhere in our family there's a picture of me stood in front of that sign, aged about 9. I'm still sure that I've frequently seen it spelt hyphenated, though. -- Paul > Quote from PC Gamer interview with Gabe: > > "So then there are the big moments, we call them the 'money shots', > things like the tentacle silo in the original game". > > 'Tentacle silo'. Ah well..... The silo is the thing that the tentacles are coming out of, I think. Missile silo, huh? And the body of the creature is down below. Only the sound sensitive tentacles protrude out of the hole. My take on it, anyway. -- Thad > > Quote from PC Gamer interview with Gabe: > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > My take on it, anyway. I was more disappointed with how prosaic the name was, after the various colourful names used in here for the past five years... ___ Neil AKA HighVis > I was more disappointed with how prosaic the name was, after the > various colourful names used in here for the past five years... I wouldn't worry about it, Neil. Who does Gabe think he is? He's probably never even played the game;) -- David davidfirewater(a)hotmail.com > Who does Gabe think he is?
