Old Man Murray was a gaming blog with feisty criticism of the industry; its writers would later work on [[wp:Psychonauts|Psychonauts]] and the [[wp:Portal (series)|Portal games]]. In [http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/39.html one of their most famous articles], they suggested that the ultimate quality of a game could be judged by a single measurement called "Start to Crate": the amount of time from the start of the game until the first crate (or barrel, etc.) is sighted. The smaller the time, the worse the game, as the use of crates to adorn a level demonstrates that the developers have run out of ideas. | Old Man Murray was a gaming blog with feisty criticism of the industry; its writers would later work on [[wp:Psychonauts|Psychonauts]] and the [[wp:Portal (series)|Portal games]].

|} | |}Oni's first level is a warehouse and it is literally ''full'' of crates, barrels and containers. You can see a stack of crates right from where you start the level (there are also crates in the training course, but not in the first room). On one of the first crates you see in the Warehouse, there's a self-deprecating label saying "-OMM- TTC 1.1" or, in other words, "-Old Man Murray- Time To Crate 1.1 [seconds]"; pretty bad, needless to say. The same label also features a reference to [[Developer Mode]]: "THE DAY IS MINE!!" is written along the lower side of the label. | ||

The poster for "mr.b's dance troupe", appearing in [[Rooftops]], can be seen at right. It names three members of the team, Dave Dunn, Steve Abeyta and Chris Lee. "Mr. B" may possibly be referring to Brent Pease, who was Project Lead through the end of 1999. | The poster for "mr.b's dance troupe", appearing in [[Rooftops]], can be seen at right.
