: It strike me odd that ESP started to read with the word "alert,"
: since it's not present in the dialog box. I typed control-carnage again
: and left the computer idle for ten seconds. ESP read: "It's not my
: fault... Body Count... Accuracy..." I figured out what was going on
: and repeated the operation to see how many phrases Bungie hid in the
: dialog box. They're: * Alert
: * It's not my fault
: * Blast
: * Pay Attention
: * Oh dear
: * Rats
: * ? (I'm not sure--sound like a typo)
: * Attention
: * Oh my
: * Shoot
: * Whoa
: * Excuse me
: The twelve phrases always appear in the same order, regardless of the dialog
: box or even if you first bring one dialog box and then another. If you
: restart the application, PiD resumes the list where it left off; or so it
: seems. The phrases are also present in both versions of the demo.
That's not something in PiD, that's something in Text to Speech. There's a setting to preface all dialogues/alert messages with a phrase, or to select randomly from a list of phrases. I think random from that list is the default setting... I know I've seen/heard those a lot before.
: PS I tried to send this message first to Hamish Sinclair, but Trinity's
: server replied, "Never heard of him."
Hamish's email is dead. I don't think he's a Trinity anymore. Only way to contact him is through places like this.
