It is very popular to say in the text chat of a networked Bungie game; meant more as a joke than anything; the sheer randomness of this phrase means it can be used at any time. | It is very popular to say in the text chat of a networked Bungie game; meant more as a joke than anything; the sheer randomness of this phrase means it can be used at any time. | ||
====Rampancy==== | |||
The world [[wiktionary:rampant|rampant]] had existed before Bungie, but the specific concept of [[rampancy]] was coined and subsequently [[wikipedia:Marathon_Trilogy#Motifs|developed by the Marathon team]]. The three/four stages of a rampant (abnormally self-aware) AI are Melancholia, Anger, Jealousy, Meta-Stability. The tirades of the Deadly Brain are a reference to this, as well as Shinatama's "Clearly, it's gone rampant". | |||

:''A very blatant Marathon reference in Oni. In level 2 (see http://oni.bungie.org/res/) you have to fight a "[[Deadly Brain]]". It is a human brain hooked up to a computer. As you disable it, it tries to leave its intranet. At one point [[Shinatama]] says that "Clearly, it's gone rampant...". | |||
The Deadly Brain can thus be assimilated to Durandal, and Shinatama to Leela. See also: http://home.comcast.net/~chrismb/marathon1.html | |||
