Title: Descent at TV-tropes
Post by: -<WillyP>- on September 17, 2010, 09:34:32 AM
I came across this when I was looking for something completely different...

Descent - Television Tropes & Idioms (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Descent)

That, was extremely interesting.  I already knew a lot of it (having been around the game for so many years), but this was well categorized, named, and detailed.

Nice find.  8)

I was half confused by it.

I followed some of the links (when it was describing the robots), to figure out what a "Demonic Spider" was (and some other (unmentionable) words too).

#  Hell Is That Noise: Bosses in the series tend to have rather creepy sounds.

    * Just the bosses? The regular robots make some very... weird noises, ranging from low, mechanical droning to chill-inducing shrieks.

I liked that one the best, because it's so true.

EDIT: This too. Especially this.

#  Nightmare Fuel - Remember those bosses which teleport around the arena, often shoot homing projectiles and make an eerie ticking engine sound?

    * In Descent 3, the "Old Scratch" type robots have a dark gray paintjob that blends in extremely well with the game's frequently gloomy environments, and they're quite stealthy aside from a quiet, creepy noise they make occasionally. Hearing that noise in a dark cave tends to result in player panic and frantically looking around for said robot... which has a nasty tendency to then pop up right next to the player and scare the living daylights out of them.
