I don't know what I expected a Kiwi to sound like, but that wasn't it.

      My favorite author is a kiwi who writes In English and teaches it, but for all I know she sounds like the video

      They say “LILILILILILI!” Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.

      They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.

          All our vowels are just “u” (or schwa as I was once told).

          • Nuw Zulund
          • Fush und chups
          • Uh nu, u’m buchd, u’m buchd us.

    I suddenly understand the inspiration behind shows like Lost being made:-).

      I’m still bitter about the ending.

        I kept waiting for the show to be finished being made. I didn’t want like a Game of Thrones scenario (even though that one hadn’t happened yet:-).

        Finally I relented and watched season 1. It was so good! Then I heard about the show’s ending and… never bothered to watch the rest.:-(

        I guess it saved me a bunch of time, so there’s that. 🙄

    Sounds like one of my 10 alarms, all with different tones, to make sure I wake up. This one is Krypton on Android.

    It kinda sounds like Ridley from the GBA Metroid games. I never knew he was a Kiwi, but I guess that’s my new head-canon.

    There is currently chaos in my house. I played this on my phone without headphones and my dogs have absolutely lost their shit. The Miniature Pinscher, being a Miniature Pinscher, was barking and spinning and occasionally attacking his spaniel brother who just has this “WTF BRO” face of horror on. Mayhem.

    PS: He’s calmed down…after a close to ten minute freak out.

      Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a ‘wtf was that!’ expression.

        As it goes with Min-Pins, he couldn’t give less of a shit the second time around. He’s over it.

      How have I never noticed that these goobers don’t have arms or nothin. I can’t imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

      This is God’s creature right here.
