The Dink Network

If I wobble my desk, it makes exactly (!) the same sound as the pillbugs in Dink Smallwood. Is that how the pillbug sound was made, by wobbling some old desk?

Oh, to me it sounds more like the soft squeeking sounds my son's little pet rat makes...

If the pillbug sound is actually created from someone's old desk, I would be most interested to know how the connection was made from the desk to pillbugs

"If I wobble my desk, it makes exactly (!) the same sound as the pillbugs in Dink Smallwood. Is that how the pillbug sound was made, by wobbling some old desk?"

Did you check to see if there are pillbugs under your desk? Maybe when you wobble the desk it crushes them and they make that noise just like when they die in Dink.

"just like they die in Dink" just like they get HIT ind dink. (I know they usaly die of that)

I could swear that I've heard the pillbug sound used in Dink in some other game. I cannot remember which, but of this I'm sure... but then again... which used the effect first? And does figuring out which game that is really help discovering the answer to this question?

STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION... or not.

Wtf are you talking about, man? This thread is about wobbling desks, not games.

ADDITION: Also "figuring out which game that is" doesn't help us discovering the answer to the question "Is that how the pillbug sound was made, by wobbling some old desk?"

A possible game you are thinking of is Castlevania: Circle of the Moon.

IIRC, which I'm pretty sure I do, is that the sound pack to make the game for dink was a comercial pack, thus leading to other instances of the same sounds in several movies, television shows and adds, and I think there was a toy of some sort, but that one I could be mis-remembering. I think we talked about this some time on the old medar sheet.

I generalized a bit, and figured it's pillbug-related, and then I wrote something pillbug-related. And the question was kind of, perhaps, maybe, ironic.

I know your post was meant to mock the countless "Hey, I've heard that sound in another game/movie before!" threads (especially the pillbug squeels are popular, but sometimes a bonca growl appears), but this one is clearly not one of them.

Maybe The Dink Network could host a contest to find examples of the pillbug sound being used in other media like games or movies. Every correctly proven entry would get some sort of congratulations or something.

P.S.

I first suggested money as a prize, but that would make it too competitive and not fun.

Mmm... no. My post just brought it up for no reason other than that I remembered that very fact.

In that case I'm going to re-read your post several times until I've fully analised every possible meaning.

Stay tuned, or not.

To help you out, anything that comes after "... which used the effect first?" is just my joking around.
