Gonarch's 'testicle' suggestion.

sigged :stuck_out_tongue:

I like this idea a lot. Especially if the maggotcrabs tumble around in the sack as Gonad runs around.

Now i know it isn’t a testicle, but to be able to see things moving inside it would make me cringe anyway.

maybe a bit like this…
I know, not quite squicky enough but it’s an idea… lol

yeah I like that jiggle :slight_smile: . I would be greatly impressed If the devs could do something like that but less liquidy.

Right, for me, it just look like a belly full of jelly.

Note:My ball sack is hairy.

O-kay, you did NOT have to go there.

Okay…what the GOD DAMN FUCK, FONG!? Jesus H.!

Well, he certanly made my sig.

uhh… Wow. Interesting 10 page thread.

Anyway, as for the OP’s take: It’s an alien creature, with an entirely unknown anatomy, physiology, and method of reproduction. So there’s no reason why it shouldn’t have something that looks like a giant swinging nut. Judging from some of Valve’s statements on the development of the critter (we were sitting around, tired, etc.) they very likely slapped a huge ball on the critter to disturb and/or elicit a “WTF?!?” response when you encounter it. I wouldn’t be suprised if they were actually hoping most gamers would stop dead in their tracks and just stare when they first encounter Gonarch and go “Holy shit is that a fucking giant BALLSACK?”

Personally I’d be kind of dissapointed if the BM devs decided for whatever reason to make a cosmetic change and remove or replace the ballsack with something else. It would really take away from the whole “WTF?!!one” factor. And I also admit I’m curious to see exactly what the Source engine is capable of when it comes to the rendering of an enormous swinging scrotum. I can’t wait to unload my Gluon gun on that fucker.

Who would change Gonarch ? Since 1998, nothing in video game history looks like that and yes, it’s freakin disturbing the way it was. Only Eric could make it worse.

Its a testicle. So what, this is all you’re going to care about:

Then the ball monster is ded hurr hurr

As long as the Gonarch testicle thingy only shoots the white radioactive toxins at us and the baby headcrabs and not semen, we’ll stay glued to our computer screens.

I’ll be glued to my screen either way.

Suggestion: Give the white acid mortar a series of non-uniform spurts.
It would be more realistic, more organic, than launching a single blob.

Couldn’t we just requstthis or make it on FPSbanana and this be solved? All it really seems like is a few changes to Gonarchs model, and maybe a few sprite changes…

Course you will…
