Talk:Point and Shoot

Reference

Point and Shoot may rather be reference to a kind of game and/or play-style that is typical of older fantasy-based games. I don't think a camera makes much sense as a reference to the hat's name. Should it be changed? RetroBlue 18:19, 16 November 2011 (PST)

Don't think so, pretty sure you're talking about "Point and Click". ^^ — Zhnigo 18:31, 16 November 2011 (PST)

I'd guess that it's a reference to how the wizard in Trine (and probably Trine 2) shoots things by pointing at them with the mouse and clicking. —Wevah 19:04, 16 November 2011 (PST)

Except he doesn't shoot. — Zhnigo 19:21, 16 November 2011 (PST)

Surely, a wizard has some projectile spells in his arsenal. Kardia Munr 20:59, 16 November 2011 (PST)

Well, him NOT having any projectiles is a sort of a runnig gag through the game, at least the first one. I seriously wonder why didn't the devs call this hat "Point and Click", it would've made much more sense. ^^ — Zhnigo 21:43, 16 November 2011 (PST)

It's probably just some sort of joke at Valve that made them giggle with whoever developed Trine. Kardia Munr 23:17, 16 November 2011 (PST)

You're right; he doesn't. My memory failed me! —Wevah 23:36, 16 November 2011 (PST)

So we have a coined phrase which describes a type of a camera and doesn't really belong here, but what about the description, which actually says to stick it in someone's eye (point) and run like hell (shoot)? Or am I overinterpreting? I actually see a similar relationship in War Head... Arracht 10:52, 22 November 2011 (PST)

Given out yet?

Anyone received this and the War Head yet? Pre-ordered earlier today, still nothing. Gonna be a repeat of Saint's Row 3 pre-order bonuses, I assume. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 03:39, 18 November 2011 (PST)

In Saints Row 3's case, people only started receiving their promos once the items were displayed on the Store page. Since Trine 2 has said nothing about their items, no-one has them yet. Once Trine 2 posts about their items, that's when people are gonna start receiving them. I imagine this is the same for every game. Just wait a while, and the items will turn up sooner or later.

Alrighty, I'm just itching to get these items and complete my collection of Genuine items, minus the ETF2L medals of course. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 08:44, 18 November 2011 (PST)

Aaaand they've been given out. Just got mine about half an hour ago. 404: User Not Found ^(talk) 11:23, 18 November 2011 (PST)

Hey, I collect Genuines too! Good to see another collector out there. Kardia Munr 15:27, 18 November 2011 (PST)
