Stitchmist Posted March 17, 2014 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. Quote
Trev-MUN Posted March 18, 2014 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. Quote
ErroR Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 It's "Bonk" not "Boink" and it sounds a bit too generic to be related. Quote
TomatoSlayer Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 It's "Bonk" not "Boink" and it sounds a bit too generic to be related. http://www.tf2sounds.com/1023 With all honesty, it's probably a coincidence. Quote
Trev-MUN Posted March 18, 2014 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
