Things in Glitch that never fail to make me smile

I don't get a lot of LOLs from playing the game but there are a number of things that never fail to delight.

The music on that spinning thing that comes up when you use a ticket.  What's it called?   Even if I only get a bean or 25 currents from it it still makes me smile.  Its all so trumped up.    Also, when You level up the sound of the announcement just blaring interruption to whatever I was doing.  Normally something like that would be annoying but I get a ridiculous rush from that leveling up announcement.

  • OOOH!  Me too!  I love the leveling up part!  I also dig all the puns a great deal!  :-D  And the references to things IRL, like when the spinning game wheel says "spin me right round" like the song and when you achieve the first grilling quest and the rock says, "Do you know what Mike Tyson would say?"  and you reply that you don't, it replies, "Me neither, that guy's crazy!"  Hilare!

  • I love the level up screen! The face the piggies make when you pet them always makes me smile, too.

  • The chickens' faces when they turn to look at me as if I'm bonkers. And the pigs' faces when they turn to look at me, sort of like they're asking, "Well? Weren't you going to feed me?" 

    The sparkly rock's line about vampires!

    The leveling up screen and all of the emo bear's verbs <3

  • you know, it's hard to pick just one thing or even a list of things.

    i'm finding the game just so nicely done, and with so many nice little details that make it clever and densely rich.

  • Most of the responses I "give" to the rock's instructions.  Especially about the one calling a spade a spade (because people have said that one to me IRL before this game was even conceived).

  • I love passing by players whose names I know from the forums, even if I'm not friends with them personally.  There's a certain "It's a Small World" feeling to it.

  • Love the rube music. Its gets me every time.

    OH! and when the chickens yell "CHICKENMUGGINS" I have to snicker at that. 

    And the surfer dude piggies when you're done petting them or nibbling on them. 

    and the rainbow for when you have a super harvest or are mega relaxed.

  • Oh, and when you have AKV, I love how darned excited the butterflies are every time you interact with them, like a junior high school girl texting her first boyfriend.

  • Actually, I'm pretty jazzed whenever a Glitch Hugs / Kisses / Moons me. Puts a smile on my face every time.

  • Hburger:  oh right, the dancing crabs!

  • Most everything in the game  but, the piggies have my heart - they are just too cute!!
    Posted 15 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Don't the kisses and hugs just make you feel special? (Even if it is a garlicy kiss.)

    That person took the time and effort to give you affection. It does bring a warm squooshy feeling to your heart

  • When I step out on my little Glitch doorstep and discover someone has left me a gift. Makes me think WOW - somewhere in the world a person who has never seen my face and doesn't really even know who I am - thought of me today.

  • Yes yes to all of the above. Especially the things Treesa listed. And yes the piggy faces -- like hello here i am come and pet me. :) And I agree, too, that if done differently they would be so annoying but instead they are so great! I love this game. :)

    (yes also: sparklies+vampires, mike tyson+he's crazy... heh.) (and the crab. i never tire of the crab.)

  • all of the above, plus the chickens vowing revenge!

  • I also love when the chickens threaten me with revenge - cracks me up every time!
    Posted 15 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The quizzical expression piggies and chickens make when nibbled or squeezed, and the sound the chicken makes. Those things make me giggle every time.

  • My husband hears the "bu-KAWK!" and says, "Oh - game's open?"

  • I love all of the game from the bubble trees conspiracy theories...to the dumb look on the chicken's faces when you put your pointer on them...like WTH...giggle....the rocks talking about vamps...the snide little comments you get form the chickies...the piggies smiling when petted...the sad but adorable way they tell you they have no more meat for you...almost makes me wanna pet them some more (after feeding the little buggers first)

  • Splanking does it for me. If i splank someone, get splanked or just splank myself I laugh so very, very hard.
    Posted 15 months ago by Hobokicker Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @jasbo - we have the same at home, but also the new day when you first enter the world. Usually one of us was asleep until hearing that!

    And plus a bajillion for the splanking, happy crabs, the rock talking about dogs and then realising there aren't any in glitch... far too many things to list really =)

  • I had forgotten how lovely the first little bit of the game is when you first enter the world and you get the "snappy" groddle forest theme with the whistling. I so need to make that my ringtone.

    Other good things: the way people run around like crazy when the rube music starts. The happy sighs the trees give when you water them. The way the fruit trees say "Frooo?" to you at first. The different myths the various rocks and trees have for the world's creation. The kazoo noises. The street projects and the co-operation that generally ensues (this has made my eyes wet a few times). Seeing forum-folk "IRL", as it were. The random badge achievements that pop up when you aren't expecting it. Getting a music block. Endless, endless list. :)

  • A new day makes me smile, but really just playing for fun and running into friends makes me smile. Aw hell, Gltich = Happy! (I'm not just saying that to suck up so they'll let me in.) <wink>

  • Also love bubble tree conspiracies. Finding stuff that isn't on the map, especially the extra colorful places.
    Posted 15 months ago by Ooloi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think it has been said, but there's something very special about the whooshing sort of noise it makes when you enter Ur for the first time from the home page. :)

  • Rube. Conga lines. Pickles. Rainbows. Picking up any quoins (I get so disappointed when I use them all!). Level up music. Jumping when I hear the Wilhelm scream and the screen flashes (scares me every time, but I still giggle!). Yes, tree conspiracies. The happy art style, complete with happy music, cute glitchies, and happy me. :-D

  • I love the loading status messages on  load screens: "reticulating splines" (wonderful shoutout to the Sims and other Will Wright games), "pulling mussels from a shell" - makes me laugh each time.

  • Wiggling piggy tails. Gets me every time.
    Posted 15 months ago by anonymoose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Rube's rubber band guitar song quickens my heart and i love finding a cave path that has been visited by anyone in awhile and strike it rich quickly with all the guano gold. Nameing animals and kiss and/or splanking as many glitches i can before they run away.

    And most recently, finding the "im huge!" msg when mining then go after a party to bring them back, at least 3 others. Cause then the lot ends up going on the "hunt" for more.

  • I have to + a million to everything already listed

    I luv the piggys' adoring looks when your pointer touches them
    all the different responses that your Glitch makes to the talking animals/rocks/trees/etc
    with my favorite being at the end of the conversation with the peatbog when it has said all it's gonna say and tells you to 'get offa my lawn' and your response is 'gottenoffof'

    this game, and all the Glitches, never fail to make me happy...thanks TS <3

  • The new day music is the best. And the little things your Glitch says/the new day message.

  • Treesa, great thread idea!
    First, as a longtime fan of Julie Doucet, I love a dirty plot. Two, I love stealing  headphones from crabs. And they don't even know it! Crabs are such fools! Thirds, I too love it when the Rube music starts playing. As Chris Matthews might say, it sends a little tingle up my leg.

  • I always get a kick out of the shocked look on my glitch's face when she teleports.  Honestly, you'd think she'd be used to it by now!

  • The fact that all the butterflies in Ur sound like 4Chan/Memebase nerds.

  • "BAM! Daily hot meat injection, straight into yer bag!" --the Pigs.

    First time I heard it, I was SHOCKED. Shocked, I tell you.
    Now it makes me grin. :D
