While Being Digested

<div class="IPBDescription">marines should play mini-games</div> so that you're not just staring at that red valve wondering whether its an anus. I heard this idea in a game today from "ironshirt" and he suggested tetris. that might be a bad choice because its copyrighted and such so won't mix with retail (if NS goes retail). maybe a game that isn't copyrighted like solitaire or poker would be nice. the mini-game should save your status when you finish being digested so that they next time you're swimming in digestive enzymes you can continue your mini-game.

here are some of my suggestions:

-whack-a-mole (or pop-the-gorge?)
-some rogue-like dungeon hack
-a shooting game like duck-hunt (lerk hunt?) <!--emo&::lerk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif'><!--endemo-->
-tic-tac-toe
-board games
-casino games (probably won't happen since the mods here want everything to be for like 8 yr olds. they sure moderate the forum like so)
-old skool games like minesweeper

feel free to add to the list. keep in mind there WILL be NS running in the background so CPU intensive games are out of the question. copyrighted games are probably also out of the question.

    LOL that's actually pretty funneh!

    I hadn't thought of that, but really if you think about it, sometimes it takes only seconds to digest.

    The other day, I was a LA LMG marine, and when I started being digested, the meter was already at the half way point. Does anyone know if there's a time differential between LA and HA in terms of being digested?

    if you were digested at full health it takes like 30 seconds to fully dissolve maybe longer. i think its a function of your health and not armor, but i'm just speculating. someone out there with no life and too much time on their hands will do the tests for me. thx in advance

    yes, it digests a number of HP per second. I don't know precisely how many though.

    I'd go for swimming around and playing with the onos' insides.

    Yeah, it is probably better to pay attention to what your team is saying and to talk to them. Just a question that is a little off topic: can you devour a teammate with ff on?
  • wRavenwRaven Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 6482Members
    If two Onos eat each other at the same time, will they live forever?

    Im wondering when we get eaten we seem to bring our weapons into its belly and why don't we get the chance to blow the hell out of its insides or something?? <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Why not just make the onos' stomache semi-transparent? At least that would make it a bit less boring. But this might lead to the need to disable chatting while being digested. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The Onos' digestive tract is made of tungsten-steel, and is thus completely bulletproof. How else could he pass a whole HA marine, large HMG, welder, and knife without having ulcers? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    onos devour at 3hp per second, if i remember the changelog correctly. i would check the beta forums for a definite answer.

    When it's steamed, you can play chess or checkers with friends <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ( t's what I do during the boring periods of CS).

    Funnily enough, I already coded a snake game for NS. I originally designed it for while playing gorg in 1.04 (cause that often got boring) but you can play it at any point, including being digested <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I won't bother releasing it though becuase this doesnt work on CD-servers, and I'm sure VAC will detect it as a cheat

    ya and maybe in NS for STEAM it can pop up the motd box so you can browse the forums and make posts like this? ;p

    Just allow the marines to view their pop-up minimap while being digested.

    im trying to converge the digestion gurgling sounds along with a marine muffled scream, kinda scary but its too hard lol, it seems theres only 1 gurgling sound so every single freakin 2 seocnds id hear a marine scream which i have a feeling might get annoying.. just like my damn cs bomb has been planeted then a loud **** airstrike siren from ww2 went off, ugh.. the headaches...

    <span style='color:red'>Here's my idea:</span>

    Any of you who've played System Shock 2 will know that you can hack certain containers to get nanites and other materials. How about you have the option of "hacking" your marine suit to give off electric pulses that cause the onos's muscles to contract, thus releasing you. you would have to breach various protocal levels making it midly challenging.

    I'll be happy with a random easter egg of some sort. It's better than just waiting around and watching the bar grow.

    *meh* Downtime, like being digested, spawning in, building things, evloving, etc - is a big problem for public servers. Hopefully NS:Combat will take away from these downtimes with intense action <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Maybe be able to use the knife and knife from the inside for *very* small damage (or resource drainage). Wouldn't really have much effect, but sure would be fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Elevator music gets my vote. And I don't really think it needs to be explained why something that lets you hurt the Onos from inside is a horrible idea.
