Today I spent the majority of my time try to exact vengeance on a few Urukhai that killed me. Normally I'm an unstoppable killing machine, but there were a few mistakes I made in trying to murder these specific captains that finished with my demise. Either way, whenever these Uruks kill you, they have some pretty nice things to say to your lifeless corpse, which only make me want to go back and kill them some more. The problem is, every time I die by their hand, they get stronger. So it just turns into this cycle of me dying, and them getting more and more intense. Anyway, their constant insults made me think of Wheaton's Law that we went over in last class period. "Don't be a dick." Their banter reminded me of the 12 year olds that tell you in increasingly creative ways how they're going to screw your mom and more. These Uruks obviously don't follow Wheaton's Law, which (like I mentioned earlier) makes me want to murder them even more. I'm sure that's exactly what the developers had in mind when they made the game, but I still think it's interesting how we (or I) still have a reaction to dickish attitudes even from the game's AI. No one likes to be treated poorly, and it just makes us want to lash back out at whoever is being a dick.
