What can the player buy from the clown machine in Rapture?
I got nothing else to add.......
PS the guy who asked this wanted me to mention how cool he is

I saw more people guessing cigarettes than anything else.
SS2 vending machines were a little more inclusive, iirc ... hypos, ammo, cigarettes. All I have to add is that I hope to see plenty of orange soda in this game.
Oh, and the cool kid's name is andrey.
Is there a screenshot of this?
I don't think so it was in the 14 minute Walkthrough though.Originally Posted by intercision

That's strange. I just questioned this myself for the first time today.
they appear to be the only 'vending machines' in the game
all I know is.. the noise it makes could get really old
Then may I suggest taking a wrench to it?Hopefully we're afforded that level of interactivity.
ah yes the old indestructible elements in games will they ever get old? like for instance you reach a flimsy almost falling apart wooden door thats locked and you could use 500 tonnes of c4 on it but that door aint gonna budge actually even lights in the room in most games seem to not care, so really ur character should make armour out of all the light-bulbs right?Then may I suggest taking a wrench to it?
One of the most satisfying things to do in STALKER is sneak up to the army outpost (in the very first area) and take out the megaphone with a silenced pistol. Then you don't have to hear that annoying bastard rattling on any more.
Unfortunately the megaphone in the Duty base is infuriatingly indestructible.
You see what you've turned this into Andrey? You see?!! I know you're there lurking as a "quote" guest.
Just get a hotmail account and join the crew. It's easier than this rigamarole.
mmmm... rigamarole...
Mmmm ... complexalicious.
I've seen the Clown machine twice,once at the beginning of the Hunting the BD video and again at the end of the one with Ken and Joe.
My guess is that these serve the same purpose as the vending machines in SS2-not unless of course,we become so awfully disfigured by over adam consumption,that we too feel the need to wear a gawdy mask!
In fact,when I pick up my copy of Bioshock,I'm really tempted to wear one anyway!
A invitation comes out ofcourse and you can join the circus with it.
There is now...
"Clown Machine" is certainly a strange collaboration of words. It sounds like a hideous nightmare! (or a VW Bug). Would make for a great band name.
On a totally unrelated subject, I don't know why it bothers me so much, but every time I hear Melissa in the Hunting the Big Daddy video say, "...the telekinesis plasmid, which comes in really handy when someone throws grenades at me" I get really cheesed off. For some reason I always expect her to say "when someone throws grenades at you" and she never does. Either she is really self-centered and it filters through her speech patterns, or I'm just a jerk who is insanely jealous that she gets to play.
I noticed that "me" too. Either she isn't too used to public speaking, or she was too busy playing to pay attention. In first case, shame on IG. In second case, God bless IG.On a totally unrelated subject, I don't know why it bothers me so much, but every time I hear Melissa in the Hunting the Big Daddy video say, "...the telekinesis plasmid, which comes in really handy when someone throws grenades at me" I get really cheesed off.

Dunno what the machine purpose is, but I think the clown image is simply a circus ad. Kinda like those ads we see in subway.
It makes me wish there is a clown in the game to shoot it I hate clowns.
If you can buy clown masks in a vending machine then I guarantee there will be a splicer out there wearing one. Guarantee.
god, you must be a real shut-in, or YOUR just the one who is self-centered?On a totally unrelated subject, I don't know why it bothers me so much, but every time I hear Melissa in the Hunting the Big Daddy video say, "...the telekinesis plasmid, which comes in really handy when someone throws grenades at me" I get really cheesed off.

couldn't it be that the whole world doesn't have to adhere to your standard of speaking?
i mean i heard her say "me" but i sort of figured that it WAS helping her, she WAS the one playing the game, so naturally it would seem like a pretty stupid thing to say "you" because its not helping you, its helping her
BTW this was the correct quote "look for the use of the teleportation plasmid which will allow me to setup places in the world that i can teleport back to at any time" see how she says NOTHING about grenades?
as a final thought TRY to actually watch the video properly Instead of getting "Cheesed off" by something so petty, do you have no friends in the outsied world? it wouldnt surprise me
With regards to correcting speech; "you're"
I think you are referencing the wrong quote, but I admit I didn't type it word for word.
I'm sorry... truly "cheesed off" was an exaggeration. I just noticed my own flinching reaction to her saying "at me" every time I heard it and thought it was curious - wondered if anyone else felt the same way. And now I know. I have no animosity at all to the girl. She sounds lovely. I just re-listened to her podcast today.
I just wish the statement had been more inclusive so I could feel like a part of the experience, that's all!
I'm just curious about the nature of speech and what it says to other people.
Do forgive me.
Relax Dude,say what you think,I do!

Pardon me, old chum!Relax Dude,say what you think,I do!
Although I've lived in the states most of my life I was born a brit, like you.
So I have an unnatural predilection towards being polite. (Even if I do bury a little condescension in there somewheres.)
A Brit eh?-no wonder you thought she was talking backwards!-they all do it Y'know!
you did say Hunting the big daddy video right? the one with all the stills at the start? and she throws all those grenades at the Big Daddy to kill it? and the sinister walk up to the little sister at the end.
But if there is a different "hunting the big daddy" Video then I'M sorry.
You can call me a SMEG-head anyway lol

an odd thing to say, considering your avatar is a clown.
or am i missing something
both lurchibald and freshlaundryX, please take some chill pills! having your own opinions is fine and they should be expressed freely; but not at the expense of hurting people.
please do reflect on that. it is a VERY mean thing to say.do you have no friends in the outsied world? it wouldnt surprise me
as i do also remember 2K-E talking about the telekinesis plasmid with reference to grenades.
personally, she was using correct-person wording. she cannot speak for 'you' as there are many 'you's that would all have different opinions on the tele-plasmid. after being on the forums for a while i rekon she's a great PR that really does care for the community and manages to find ways to help the community while suiting the publisher's business model. heck! someone's even taken to calling her 'rapture mom'!
EDIT: yay! my 600th post :P

``an odd thing to say, considering your avatar is a clown.

Its because that certain clown I love because it is in an awesome lv in the game painkiller but I also hate since it is a clown.
wow this topic certainly jumped off the rails, burst into flames and then imploded in a mass of nonsensical gibbering off topicness.
C'mon Jeff-this is buisness as usual!
501105, your avatar rocks - those were the best 'evil' clowns (and frankly, that entire level should win an emmy or something) I've ever seen rendered in a video game. I took her pronoun use simply as the rhetoric of someone really immersed in a game. I know she's talking to us as an audience, but she's not narrating someone else playing (I think), so the first-person is fine. That just makes me think that the game is that much more immersive.
yeah.. my thoughts exactly.
i really wanna watch a killer klown movie, cos i never have
still analysing lurch's last post cos i sense an undertone of sarcasm.
Watch the movie "IT" really old but pretty goodyeah.. my thoughts exactly.

"still analysing lurch's last post cos i sense an undertone of sarcasm" Not at all, i did mean every word, but i am sorry if come off as sarcastic (its hard when its only text
ok ok i'll get off ur case now.
Y'know, stuff. Different machines have different contents. If you hack them, you can get a bigger selection.

"Clown Machine" is certainly a strange collaboration of words. It sounds like a hideous nightmare! (or a VW Bug). Would make for a great band name.I could understand that from a cyberpunk era where the machines produce stuff using nanotechnology, But how would that work with technology from the 40s and 50s?
Well that was a fun exercise in eventually getting "my" question answered
Thanks Alexx
