Hats! It’s quite a broad term. I’d let you have helmets if you argued it. And what I especially like about helmets is how they ruin cutscenes. Cue an emotional moment between two characters, where one of them, you see by the expression on their face, is very concerned. But what the other character is feeling, you have no idea, because where their face should be there’s a bobbing helmet instead, a muffled voice coming from within. Are they happy, are they sad? “Mmmpf ummmf mmpf pmmf ummmf.” Cracks me up every time.
Oddjob is known for two reasons. One, he wears a bowler hat with razer blade edges which he throws at James Bond. Two, he’s an effing cheat!
Playing as Oddjob in GoldenEye 007 was cheating. I’m not making this up. The developers of the game came out and confirmed it last year.
It’s cheating because, as we all suspected, Oddjob is smaller than all the other characters – even with a hat on – and this screws up the game’s auto-aim. The naughty developers knew this and decided to leave it in anyway, and in doing so, ensured Oddjob was enshrined in gaming legend. We all had a friend who played Oddjob, we all know what it was like.
