Given that he's built to interface with other machines on behalf of people, it'd be useful if he could actually make himself understood. Especially since he is obviously capable of communicating in English (or whatever the common language is supposed to be), he just isn't able to vocalize the words themselves. When he's hooked up to Luke's X-Wing, he can write sentences on the cockpit displays just fine. Not including a voice synthesizer (which every other robot in the universe has) seems so stupid as to be unbelievable.

This. I love games with an unlimited inventory and if possible no night time. Who needs reality :D

Light is not bad, have you never been in a forest? Shrooms live off of the stuff plants give them.

I got a good laugh from this one: thanks. :)

Life doesn't like UV. Sunlight is UV. Some lifeforms need the energy the sun provide (for photosynthesis, or melatonin ....)
but mushshrooms are a non-chlorophylian vegetable. They don't need sun and try to avoid it (hiding under their cute caps, under dead leaves, living from the roots in the ground, or northside of the bark ....). So yes they need to eat, but they don't need light.

Can't be much clearer than that.

A similar scene in Sunshine killed what little remained of the willing suspension of disbelief.

This might not count as irritating but I really feel this might enhance Call of Duty:

The M4 and M16 weapon systems used by the US military are select-fire yet the ones in Call of Duty are full-auto and 3-round-burst respectively. Also, the M4 carbines used by the military do not have full-auto modes of fire but rather a 3-round-burst.

Here is a common misconception in many fantasy games involving bows: the creaking sound they make when getting drawn back.

According to a buddy of mine from my college days, a friend of his is into archery and, according to his friend, the creaking sound a bow makes is the sound of it breaking. It is, in other words, the last sound you would want to hear when operating a bow. Baldur's Gate has a very loud and blatant creaking sound for bows.

Dude, not the shrooms need the light, the plants need it, and the shrooms need the stuff that plants produce from photosynthesis. But thanks for the UV lecture..WTF?

They must have come from all those dead adventurers?

Oh come on now, It wasn't nearly as bad!

...but seriously, what the hell have you been playing. 0.o

Yeah, it always bothers me that Dracula never never goes to the bathroom in video games. In real life I always attach Draculas on the toilet, because that is the time when they are weak and emotionally distant to loved ones.

Pretty sure I did this right. np

I'm no biologist but it seems to me that plants feeds on animals/insect's feces and dead bodies. Those who use photosynthesis also use the sun.

Empty villages, filthy clothes, and languages.

So here I am, I've just killed twenty-seven goblins and I walk into a village I've never been in before. I've been fighting day and night for several days, I smell like a slaughter house because my one outfit hasn't seen a wash in who knows how long. Does anyone care? No! Because the entire village is completely and creepily empty. No people other than the two shopkeepers. No cats, dogs, geese, chickens, ducks, donkeys, cows, pigs, goats, rabbits, nadda. So I walk up to the only living soul in sight and start an indepth conversation on armour, because apparently everyone in the entire world speaks the same language. In fact, any book I find I can probably read even if it is hundreds or thousands of years old. Remarkably no matter how many times I read the book from four hundred years ago, it never falls apart! Boy, they sure don't make them like they used to.

Little things, but they bug me sometimes.

You... attach vampires to your toilet? How many vampires are just clinging to your porcelain throne? (Sorry, couldn't resist. :P )

Duke Nukem 3D: Not a human anywhere which kind of make sense because of the alien invasion but there are still strippers working in the strip club(s) (Don't remember if there was only one or more).

The way magazines work in most (if not all) shooters nowadays really irks me. I always wait until I'm either out of bullets or until the amount left is almost negligible.

Bullets don't magically appear inside half-empty maganizes people, you'd be wasting a lot of bullets in real life realoading after each shot.
