This is gold, but why talking about nerfs and buffs on game forum would be bad or out of place?

No sensibility is allowed on the Boards. Get out of here with that balderdash!

I think he is referring to the cries to nerf X champion because OP and i had a bad game, instead of actually well thought reasons.

Reminder that the tendons on the mouth of the xenomorphs (Alien Franchise) are made from shredded condoms. This is one of the most well-known monsters/creatures in nearly any franchise.

Also, the face-huggers, were made from various actual animal body parts (stomachs, spleens, etc), so it's not like the effects crew couldn't have used actual tendons on the alien.

Sound designers have to get creative when they're making literally every single layer of a sound manually.

I'd imagine that they just use the raw recording but edited the EQ, reverb, distortion, ect. But yea, speaking as a composer, if I was composing an electronic piece and was stuck on a particular sound; I could see my self doing this for sure in the right setting. For example, I'm in my garage (which I sometimes use as a recording area), which is where I keep my dog food, had a condom in my wallet\pocket, and had left over beans from dinner, I'd probably try it out.

Why was it a condom though... literally any latex bag should have made largely the same sound..?

Would love to see a Rioter confirm that this isn't BS though. Would LOVE it. May even start playing Zac if a Rioter confirms.

It was literally revealed by Riot. First time at gamescom 201(4) I think, at one of their shows.

Decrit4 votes

Actually it was mentioned during a professional play. One of thr streamers was like "y'know..."

I have to find the video now..

How many people carry latex bags around in their purses/wallets, though?

Condom is a lot easier to fill than say a balloon. Condoms can also take a beating much more than a balloon can.

i mean you could always go check it on the wiki yourself; it cites the following tweet

Well, the answer to this question is: At least one time less than intended. :P

Maybe condom was the only thing handy because someone had been recently randy and they said it's all cool and dandy

people complain about riot being on drugs for our current champs I just want to know what they were on when they had this idea

Alpha On One3 votes

I'm confused as to why they needed both dog food and baked beans. It seems like one or the other would do just as well

DREADN0UGHT3 votes

That post made me crack in half for about 1 full minute. The explanation + the meme: absolutely priceless

Saltiest Yordle2 votes

I thought everyone knew that and thus why people enjoyed playing the green condom with dog and bean food filled sounding blob.

Jasiwel2 votes

Sound designers are insane. They can make the most convincing noises out of a boot and dog shit.

Probably one of my favorites moments of sound design (that I know of) has to be in Halo: Reach, when the Saber is entering space and you find out in a ViDoc that the rumbling noises during that cutscene were by shaking a desk.

Zac's sound effect history is now one of my favorites. Nice find!

AbyssionKnight1 votes

Not really sure why that's on the wiki.

I mean, Deman of all people said it, and when asked who told him that he just said Praeco said it. Then another rioter proceeded to say that was probably just Praeco trolling.

No confirmation either way on it being a troll or serious, so it's just a second hand account from someone who had no relation to sfx. As such it really shouldn't be stated as a fact.

Streetlight Man7 votes

I concur. How this post is stated obviously shows that this is supposed to be enforced upon as true. The op post states several very good reasons to believe why this could be the case. Some things I noticed the op did not explain will be explained now

A- Rioters have sex all the time. The amount of condoms they have lying around is actually insane

B- This is a very little known fact; Riot Meddler is a dog! When he doesn't eat his dog food because he was too busy ripping out the necks of other failed rioters (creating an environment of fun and fear), the others have to get creative with his kibbles

C- Beans cost 99 cents.

D- The riot team is actually a College sorority, which explains their constant sex, their lovable Lead designer Labrador dog, and their tendency to have cheap food lying around (not in a garbage can, ofcourse. It's college!). It also explains why riot is always shoving random things into condoms and slapping those condoms against other things (usually each other)(sororities amirite).

I hope this helped you guys! If you have anymore questions, ask me

AbyssionKnight1 votes

Oh you're right, silly me! I don't know why I ever thought fact checking was important. If something is listed with a source then obviously it's true.

Shroom Junkie2 votes

It is if you go check the source for facts. And make sure the source is correct. And it is. Or, its correct as its going to be, as it was confirmed by a Rioter in the tweet, not to mention there were many, many, many other places it has been mentioned.

AbyssionKnight1 votes

Care to share some other places it's been mentioned? The only places I found all referenced that tweet, other than a singular instance in the LCS where Kobe says he heard the same story.

However the LCS game Kobe mentioned it in, came after that tweet, and since he doesn't list a source it's impossible to know if Kobe heard it at the same time as Deman, if he heard it from Deman's tweet, or if it's legitimately true and he heard it elsewhere.

As for the Deman tweet itself, if you look at the responses, there are multiple Rioters responding clearly responding in a way that shows they never heard it before, with one saying it sounds like a troll. I don't see a single rioter in those replies confirming it.

If there are more than those two sources then that's great. If not, then two second hand accounts isn't exactly credible.

Shroom Junkie1 votes

Well then I guess it isn't proven. Either way, its funny and has made at least 213+ people laugh including myself, and probably you before you went all proof-reader-must-be-factified on us and ruined the fun of the thread.

I really don't give a crap if its real or not, the simple story and the fact it very much sounds like it is funny enough even if it isn't true, because the relation is hilarious.

AbyssionKnight1 votes

Never claimed it wasn't amusing.

I simply said I don't understand why that'd be on the wiki.

Reaper Soraka1 votes

wiki is a good source; oxford professors edit it daily.

You can whole-heartedly believe this as fact, and it would be appropriate to tell any who dispute these claims they need to go to college.

Nanuk Pihoqahiak1 votes

Except it's true? A caster commented that they did indeed use a condom during the audio development of Zac to make his slappy-stretchy sounds.

Except when there are credible sources cited for that particular sentence...

Jumping to conclusions too quickly?
