Talk:Merasmus

What is Merasmus actually saying?

I think he says "Pootis mon, CHRISTMAS!" TheGuy299 05:23, 27 October 2012 (PDT)

Don't be silly. It's something along the lines of "Mortis Longdistimus" (Pseudo-Latin for Long-Distance Death) Mbulmer 06:52, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Came here just to say that. ==Fax Celestis _talkcontrib^home 13:28, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Is the Huntsman thing a bug?

Is it possible to tell whether the Huntsman dealing non-critical headshot damage is a bug or not? Toomai Glittershine 13:36, 27 October 2012 (PDT)

Not a bug. Merasmus' head hitbox is huge, and the huntsman's minor aim correction thing plays into that as well. Further, he takes critical damage from everyone when he's throwing bombs or stunned. ==Fax Celestis _talkcontrib^home 14:18, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

Finding out that all the Sniper's primary weapons deal triple damage (which is pretty hard to believe is a bug, even by Valve standards) makes the original question moot. Toomai Glittershine 10:53, 30 October 2012 (PDT)

All crits deal triple instead of double against Merasmus. Spy's revolver, for instance, does 240 a shot. ==Fax Celestis _talkcontrib^home 06:43, 1 November 2012 (PDT)

Crits ALWAYS do triple damage...Redjarman 09:21, 1 November 2012 (PDT)

As for being the Soldier's Roommate...

Is it safe to say at this point that Merasmus is simply the roommate of the Soldier, rather than the RED Soldier or BLU Soldier? It's been referenced on both teams in the comics that the Soldier's roommate is a magician. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bralef (talk) • (contribs) 07:24, 28 October 2012

I think you have to say he is the RED soldiers roommate since that was shown in the latest comic Sleutelkind 04:58, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

In the comics, RED Soldier is Merasmus' roommate, and BLU Soldier is friends with RED Demoman. They just don't have team-specific lines in-game, so both soldiers wind up saying the same lines. Redjarman 12:00, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

I'm not talking about the in-game lines. In the Smissmas comic, for example, the BLU Spy says that the BLU Soldier's roommate is a magician. Bralef 20:51, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Merasmus voice actor?

Anyone else think that Merasmus sometimes sounds like Wheatley from Portal 2? Cause some of the lines he says sounds like wheatley (including some of the sarcasm). Could make a nice trivia if it's found to be true. Ashes 02:27, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

I'm fairly sure it's not Stephen Merchant - if Merasmus is supposed to have a British accent it's a pretty bad one, as with all the mercs. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 04:47, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

It's definitely not Stephen Merchant, but I do wonder who the voice actors are for him and the Bombinomicon. It's the first time completely new voiced characters have been introduced, I think. EDIT: Listening to all the voice clips, I think it might actually be Robin Atkin Downes, the guy who voiced the Medic. It's just a guess, though. --Tinker 04:49, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

If it is Robin Atkin Downes, I'd be pretty pissed off.. He can voice an entirely new character, but he cant give the poor Medic some Domination lines? Wtf! Untamed64 08:04, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

Considering they put in a ton of Medic voice lines just for this event, they had him around anyway.--Tinker 03:39, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Might want to listen to some of the lines Merasmus says. Especially the ones after you get Uber. You can hear a slight British accent in some of the lines. Also the sarcasm he gives as well. Ashes 12:37, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

Even if he does, that doesn't make him Stephen Merchant. --Tinker 03:30, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

I'm actually thinking this is Gary Schwartz for Merasmus (listen to the laughs he does... sounds like the Demoman), while the Bombinomicon is actually Nolan North, the voice actor for Uncharted's main star Nathan Drake. Yes, even though Bombinomicon sounds like a weird and warped version of Speedy Gonzales with some "Bomb-head" intentions, it's still Nolan. :D That Guy 12:31, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Someone should contact Gary Schwartz or the other actors, asking if they voiced these new characters. Dogman15 14:09, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Update: John Lowrie is not Merasmus: I e-mailed his agent. Dogman15 15:58, 29 October 2012 (PDT)

Merasmus' Bombs

Are they airblastable? ==Fax Celestis _talkcontrib^home 14:18, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

I don't believe so Ashes 18:19, 28 October 2012 (PDT)

Bombinomicon as a separate topic and page?

After listening to endless new voice clips added in the new Halloween update, and the bigger role that the Bombinomicon has from both the Monoculus and the newer Halloween Boss, Merasmus, I see it fitting to give the Bombinomicon a newer page separate from its Badge page. While the Bombinomicon is a book, it talks, interacts with players, and plays important story roles in both Halloween specials of 2011 and 2012. Anybody agree? I need a vote :P That Guy 12:41 29 October 2012 I'd call it pretty fitting to be honest. He seems pretty major now to me. Upvote for me I guess. LightFlock 18:34, 29 October 2012 (PDT)
