Poll: *Scribble Scribble Scribble* HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Reagus]

Is it just me, or does The Escapist really need a new sound of some sort for the start of its videos?

The scribbling is alright I guess, but the giant "HAAAAAAA" is just plain stupid and usually deafening before a video

p.s. Probably in the wrong location, but can't see where else I could have posted this

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Ah, I remember the old part before the videos...
And I much preferred it, to be honest.

 

[Random Fella]

I like

 

[Distorted Stu]

Who does the ha? Because to me it sounds liek its either Graham Stark or Russ Pitts.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

It is physically impossible for me to be more indifferent about anything.
If it TRULY bothers you, why not just fucking mute the video until it passes.

What was that again? I've forgotten D:

OT: I don't mind it, although that ole 'HA' has actually made me jump more times than I'd care to say...

Like an old school movie reel. Projector style. It's about the same to me. I ain't big on the HAAA but I don't really care either.

The movie reel!!! I remember that now! Cheers.

Yeah, when I first heard the HAAA thing it was a bit of a confusing moment.

It sounds like the TF2 scout to me lol.

 

[Retardinator]

It's annoying as hell. The old one also is. They should find something more quiet, perhaps just a *woosh* or something.
Although, I have to admit the movie reel was better.

 

[drbarno]

I don't really have a opinion on it. It's essteniatly used to show that the show you're watching is hosted by the escapist. (or paid for, I'm not that knowledgeable on the subject right now)

 

[mikecoulter]

I don't mind it. It was a bit of a shock the first time I heard it. But I suppose it's become tied to Escapists videos. I wouldn't remove it.

 

[busterkeatonrules]

Personally, I love that sound. It means I'm about to watch an Escapist video!

 

[Nimcha]

I really liked it when Yahtzee used different music for every video, usually relevant to the game being reviewed. But meh, the HAAAAA doesn't bother me either.

Now you mention it it does lol

 

[Istanbul]

Ennnh.

I'm not attached to it, it doesn't bother me. Whatever. It's, what, half a second long?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I rarely notice it anymore...

But, upon reflection, I don't like it.

How about they just use the Bill Nye intro, replaced with Russ Pitts?


RUSS! RUSS! RUSS! RUSS!

RUSS PITTS THE GAMING GUY!

I remember the movie reel, I love it, but I love the escapist laugh too. It'd be cool if tey mixed it up a bit

I wouldn't complain if they removed it, but I'm really not too bothered about it - it is only 5 seconds of audio, in the end.
