- Blankford, on 12/05/2007, -9/+5438min. into Ep.IV A New Hope, R2D2 tells Luke to shove his lightsaber up his poor-acting ass
- greendalek, on 12/05/2007, -3/+38What the hell's a fuction, a setence, or a sound bit?
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -1/+24They sound strangely the same no matter what you type in.
Could be because he's a whistling robot. Donno. - TheKrillr, on 12/05/2007, -1/+22The digg algorithm chooses when saomething becomes "popular" based on diggs over time. It probably got something like 10 diggs over 10 minutes or something. Meaning its suddenly popular.
Will people stop acting all pissy over an algorithm that works? - BossKey, on 12/05/2007, -0/+17Hm. Turns out that during the Death Star trash compactor scene in Ep IV, R2D2 is saying:
"Im in yr computer, fuxin wit yr utilitiez" - invisiblerobots, on 12/05/2007, -1/+18You'd have to bury yourself then.
- flahavin, on 12/05/2007, -0/+16I guess R2D2 has a bit of a server load or bandwidth problem.
- TeleKawaru, on 12/05/2007, -0/+15I wonder how you get a "setence" to "read my R2-D2?"
- trogdor282, on 12/05/2007, -0/+14R2D2: Beep boop boop.
C3PO: He says there's several creature's approaching from the southwest.
R2D2: No, I said there ain't a pack of menthols on this planet! - Nerfdude, on 12/05/2007, -1/+13grammer?
- Dgen_X, on 12/05/2007, -0/+12more useful than the English to Spanish translators!
...don't think it will survive past 30 diggs though - Sparticuz, on 12/05/2007, -2/+14I want a Bury for Bad Spelling/Grammer!!!
- chewbacca77, on 12/05/2007, -0/+12Give him some slack. He must have translated his own description into R2D2 and then back again. Translations aren't always perfect, you know.
- hypnotoad32, on 12/05/2007, -0/+12I didn't get past "It even got a download".
- tehrob, on 12/05/2007, -0/+11This is a fun toy, but I don't think it will be very usefull for the intended purpose of communicating who is calling on your cellpone.
- manitoba98xp, on 12/05/2007, -0/+11"digging" is always spelled with two Gs. "diging", if it existed, would come from "to dige".
- tymme, on 12/05/2007, -0/+10Brings "1F Y0U (4N R34D +H15, Y0U R34||Y N33D +0 G3+ |41D." to the next level....
- webcrumb, on 12/05/2007, -1/+10A fuction sounds either fun or painful... possibly both.
- BossKey, on 12/05/2007, -1/+10Kenny: mm m mmmm mmm mmm mm
R2D2: beep boop bleepy doot doot wowwa whee
Kenny: *giggles* - mrjofo, on 12/05/2007, -1/+10Dig(g)ing your own grave?
- fishpen0, on 12/05/2007, -0/+9I typed in "Aaahhhhhhhhh" and it made beeping noises instead of screaming. R2D2 can scream.
- Jareth86, on 12/05/2007, -1/+7Digg killed it.
- moocow1452, on 12/05/2007, -0/+6Weeeeeeeeeooooooo!
- hadak, on 12/05/2007, -1/+7oh *****. i read that perfectly, as if it were plain english.
- coleki, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4actually, that's entirely possible and plausible. considering factors like pitch, length, rhythm, and possibly volume, beeps can convey quite a lot of information... it would be much more efficient than the spoken word.
of course, you'd need a pretty good ear to catch it all. enter C3PO... - autobotguy, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4Would this be before Ben gives him his lightsaber? Thats the only time I can recall R2D2 being pissy at Luke. Shoving a moisture vaporator up his ass would have made more sense
- mrjofo, on 12/05/2007, -1/+4See the above reply to the other *****.
- robdiggity, on 12/05/2007, -0/+31 suction + 1 fuction = around the world
- Ozzy73, on 12/05/2007, -1/+4beep beep boop *whistle*
- objectcode, on 12/05/2007, -1/+4that also assumes im pissy over it
- saunders45, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3This ain't gonna last long...
- hs4g, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Its the noise R2 makes when he gets zapped... that high pitched squeal dealy... YEAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
- robdiggity, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2"Blorp" - Colbert '07
- r2builder, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2Well, if you think about all the information a standard dial-up modem transmits within a few beeps, it's pretty plausible. Well, at least as plausible as a robot that's self aware.
- mrcartman91, on 12/09/2007, -0/+2i want a way to see what he was really saying in the movies
- smackafiyah, on 12/05/2007, -1/+3Time killer at best...
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2I was debating whether or not this was the geekiest thing ever on Digg... then the comment said that you could download it as a ringtone and I decided that it was no longer a debate.
- LJRod82, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2Man, I wish this was accurate. Because I had absolutely no time and am a geek I loaded up a few scenes from the Star Wars DVD to type in whatever C3PO translates directly from R2. The web site's version doesn't sound the same as the movie... bummer.
- raynar, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2BEEP BOOP BLOP
- RRunner316, on 12/05/2007, -1/+3Looks like this site already got blasted by Vader's TIE...
- JRHodes88, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2saw that coming
- hypnotoad32, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Sir, if you'll not be needing me, I'll close down for a while.
- mrjofo, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1haha, true...I intended to use the word "dig" (or dug) but ended up rewording the comment to use "digging"
- jgzman, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1Have you considered the 'Digg' button? It works wonderfully.
- manonfire285, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1this thing just makes a sound for each letter
I'm sure R2D2's speech patterns are more complex than that! - martyFREEDOM, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1Even better, your browser's bookmarks! Maybe even del.icio.us!
- NCSUspoon, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1Just type in 'tttttttttttttttttttttttt' and be prepared for the shock of your life.
- starquake, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1*honk*
- nkoszyk, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1I can has WD40 sounds just like it does in the movies.
- athenius22, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1It didn't take that many characters when I tried it
