can we talk about the fizzle sound effect?

[elster]

is this supposed to sound like a car stalling? is this the same noise alligators make in the game? interesting choice for sound effect.

if it’s supposed to be an alligator, why choose the alligator sound?

 

[a wizard]

Maybe alligators sound like a fizzle, and they chose the fizzle sound for alligators.

Lots of sounds were recycled though, especially older content stuff. Saved drive space during a time when that space was limited.

That is what alligators sound like.

I always thought it was the sound of.. erm, flatulence?

Flatulence with Rhoids augmenting the sound effect at that?

Same. We used to say we "farted" when we fizzed.

When mages are casting spells, they actually eat the reagents, which cause a lot of gas buildup as the mage is casting. If the mage doesn't properly incant and channel the spell, the gas is then expelled from the ass rather than in a spell.
The cost of frequently replacing underwear got so expensive, that our chars just opt to wear the same pair of crusty, ****-stained undies for 25 years instead.

Some very talented Mages can even incant spells from their ass, like this one. You REALLY don't want to see this mage summon a Daemon...
