My wife is getting sick of me talking about the Wilhelm scream and how it's time for it to die.
Real glad I didn't pick one of these up now.
You sound like a party pooper
Yes, judge me from my opinion on one thing I'm passionate about. You got me. I'm the Ted Bundy of parties
Well, to be fair, people don't generally have such strong negative reactions to innocuous things. And when they do, they usually have them for more than just one thing.
Strictly speaking, you're really glad that you didn't drop one of them.
It might have been funny at once time but the Wilhelm scream was already stupid and overdone decades ago.
Unless it's baked into non-rewriteable ROMs, I imagine that someone might come up with a way to stick whatever scream you want into the thing.
Honestly I'm surprised that isn't a customization option from the start. Change it to be GLADOS or Wheatly or something complaining about being tossed around
