No matter what you do, no matter where you go, Watson will find you.
Those android faces are calling reenum's name.

Ok, but I liked the suggested video of the singing android faces slightly more.

Huh. I thought this was going to be about trivia playing NLP computers.

That is awesome. Has anyone used that trick in a survival/horror game before? I can't think of one, but it would be incredibly easy to do. Lots of potential.

Evidently Watson wil find me everywhere but on an Android phone. Now that's irony.

At least he's not like the butler in Tomb Raider 3's training level, who follows you everywhere so you have to lock him in the freezer to get some privacy.

Yeah, but if you fly into Chicago, for some reason he'll try to find you in Toronto.

I hear that in the next Silence of the Lambs sequel Hannibal Lecter is going to do that with people's actual faces.

That was a good laugh. The bombastic music really made it for me.

Clearly the "Norwood Builder" resonated with Watson.

He's just following you. The stabby music is ridiculous, and the graphics are shit.

Left 4 Dead did something like this - look at page 49 of this PDF:
If a SurvivorBot ever gets far out of place for any reason, it is teleported near the team when no human is looking at it.

Yeah, the Left 4 Dead games sort of do this. Zombies can't spawn in line-of-sight of humans, so in "versus" matches (human-controlled zombies vs. human-controlled survivors) it's a common tactic to "watch" any potential spawn points to block. The game doesn't pay attention to actual view directions, though, so you don't get the He's Right Behind You! effect like with Watson here. (Also, as a L4D addict, holy crap that PDF is awesome + informative, ymgve.)
The F.E.A.R. games do this (for cheap shock effect) too -- turn around and there's something creepy right behind you.

This is the type of Machinima that I like. Using the game's engine to tell a story that feels organic to it instead of trying to shoehorn an adaptation on it.
