Stitchmist Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Serious question here - was the scout's "Boink!" in TF2 a reference to C&C Renegade? It's all I can think about since RenX was released. Like maybe it's a homage, because he says it when he kills people. I was hoping to get an answer on a relevant thread but it was literally locked right after I asked thanks, kil.

Trev-MUN Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I wonder if Gabe Newell and Robin Walker still answer e-mails. You could try asking them if it's a homage or not. It could also just be Scout's way of onomatopoeiaing the sound his bat makes when it caves in someone's skull, but it's a fun possibility.

ErroR Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's "Bonk" not "Boink" and it sounds a bit too generic to be related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-MUN Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It's "Bonk" not "Boink" and it sounds a bit too generic to be related. He says both (as TomatoSlayer pointed out). "Bonk" is just the one more well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
