Title: SGP: Graphic Design - Superintendent Facial Expressions - Total = 8!
Post by: ColdGlider on October 01, 2009, 04:15:28
Previously it had been assumed there were only six facial expression icons for the Superintendent.  While playing through Data Hive and watching the same cut scene from which I pulled the hex patterns (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.msg4#msg4 (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.msg4#msg4)) I noticed that the icon for the Super was quickly and erratically animating.  Conceptually, he was being shut down.  To depict this, two additional icons were revealed:

This brings us to a total of eight, including the previous six we're already familiar with:

What's interesting is that after the shutdown sequence, the Super's icon holds at the "sleeping" one:  (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/SL2009.09.30-CG-SS-sleeping.gif) instead of the "dead" one:  (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/SL2009.09.30-CG-SS-dead.gif)

Are we to infer that the Super isn't completely down for the count at this point after all?

Excellent.

I'm getting sick of NM streets(and not being able to figure anything out), I'm going to go through data hive myself and poke around.  Several other people have mentioned that they've seen XX or YY there.

I would like to bring this to your attention. I had scratch made the 8 expressions and posted them in one of the image threads around here... Everyone has probably already seen them but.... Just letting you know!

I saw them, Kenj... just haven't gotten to them, yet!  You saw how much backlog (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=90.msg396#msg396) I sorted out yesterday though, right?  *sigh*  So much to do- it's great, though!!!

Anyhow- very nice work on those!  I can integrate them into the forum.  It's on the "to do" list.  With the many other things... :P

Before I forget.. I wanted to point out that, as far as Glyph's we have only found 3 variations of the 8. Is there more?

The plot thickens..

DUN DON DUNNN  :'( :P :-[ :) >:( :( ;) :o

Going with this thought (Enigma and I discussed in on XBL this morning), we end up with this mapping:

http://www.gruntspajamas.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=940

(http://www.gruntspajamas.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/SL2009.09.30-CG-SS-normal.gif)
http://www.gruntspajamas.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=334

(http://www.gruntspajamas.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/SL2009.09.30-CG-SS-dead.gif)
http://www.gruntspajamas.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=667

I expected to find more "Expression Glyphs" (my new term for Y-Glyphs like the Super Mono Sad) to match the different forms of the supervisor's image.   But we know how troublesome expectations are.

You only changed the text, and not the link itself. Fixed.

Nevermind, I only fixed one link. The rest lead to a destination that Grunts Pajamas no longer holds. I don't know whether they have been deleted or moved. I'll hope for the latter.
