FCoD: Frozen Chicken of Death

Have you ever been walking down the street, and all the sudden you notice something is not quite right? The game's been a bit laggy before, but this is different. In a world that is usually teeming with life and movement, things seem to be strangely immobile. And then out of the corner of your eye, you notice it. A chicken frozen in the air, its wings slightly fluttering, mouth agape mid-squawk as if it it's seen some unknown horror. The Frozen Chicken of Death. Your nervous anticipation turns to shock, disgust, and ultimately acceptance. You are resigned to the fact that your demise is imminent. You wait for the darkness to fold in. The world goes grey.

I hate that chicken.

  • Not only that - the ones which teleport.

    It starts on about the fourth to sixth street I visit per loading of the world. I approach a chicken. I hit enter to squeeze its little chicken pockets. There is a pause - it freezes - and the little GIT has suddenly teleported to the other side of the screen!

    They must have a crapton of teleportation tokens.
    :(

  • Then there's Hovercraft Pig, but it doesn't make my game crash so I kind of like him. You water a tree, and from waaaay over on the other side of the street, hungry Hover Pig just sort of holds your gaze as he effortlessly glides to the tree you just watered and only moves again long enough to say 'yum'. Then he goes about his business as if he has no superpowers whatsoever.
    I love that pig.
