Buh isn't a sound of a jet engine, the sound of a bee flapping it's wings, the sound of someone pissing, or the sound of a book hitting the floor. Buh is the sound an idiot makes when not properly enunciating the words they are speaking. That's not onomatopoeia.
if that were true, then it's more closely related to "duh". a word doesn't have to be in the dictionary for it to be a word. for that matter, why the hell are you picking on the use of one god damned word? do you have nothing else to do? or are you just spoiling for a fight?

Any mission with a jumping puzzle in it. Jumping puzzles should not be in video games unless they have a very controlled jumping interface like in American McGee's Alice In Wonderland, where you aim and see an icon that will show you exactly where you will land if you press jump at that moment.
In real life, that's the level of control you have over your body. In a game, its a fixed jump force every time, and you can never control it.

My favourite TDP mission was The Sword. The architecture was excellent (in a mind-bogging way), especially the spiral room and those with the odd furniture. Also, it made me wonder who the hell is Constantine and what is he up to. Which puzzlement was greatly enhanced by the video at the end of the mission. :) The atmosphere of RTC was also nicely done (heh, it gave me the shivers), but I did not particularly like being an errand boy to Brother Murus.
Least favourite is hard. I did not really like the Indiana Jonesy missions, but the places I had to visit were interesting enough to make me forgive them. I guess I will settle for hating Escape most. Apart from the Pagan talk and seeing the Trickster's servants as they were, it was not really interesting and in fact annoying.
From Metal Age, my favourite ones were Trail of Blood and Life of the Party. The changed Maw was very surprising and beautiful, while the slaughtered village with the ghost of the girl was haunting (a pity this idea was blatantly recycled in TDS -- though it was so excellently done, one has to forgive it). The mission put the Pagans in a whole new light, though the making peace with Viktoria bit at the end was somewhat quick for my taste. I liked Life of the Party mostly for the rooftop part, though the gramophone messages and the Golden Child were also fun and surprising.
I liked almost all missions in TMA, but my least favourite was Soulforge. OK, the ending mission is supposed to be hard, but it was hard in a frustrating way. The architecture and Karras' plans explained were redeeming features, though.
Summing up, from the whole lot most liked would be The Sword, while most hated would be Sabotage.

Apology accepted. Nothing wrong with slipping up now and again. :)
Shush. You're one of them.

Because ZylonBane does this shit ALL the fucking time to people. Look, some people are too busy, tired, lazy, or poor at spelling/sentence structure. Nobody's perfect. Zylonbane, however, feels he has to humiliate people by pointing out there mistakes at every opportunity. He even does it in this thread where he instructs on the etymology of "it's".

Who cares? He's always done it, it's not going away. His comments don't ruin threads. Constant posts by people getting pissed at him, filling up entire pages, do.
Anyways, on topic - looking through people's least favourite DS mission, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't like the Clocktower.

who cares? he's ZB. that's what he does. he's the forum bastard. every forum has one. he's also enough of a contributor to render his crimes permissable or even forgivable.
you, however, aren't innocent either- you purpously picked a fight with HIM.
to wit:
[ZB] buh?
[you] do you mean "duh" or "huh"?
[ZB] no.
it could've ended there politely- he said nothing untoward, just a matter of fact denial. but nooo, you had to fail it all up with a smarmy retort. in effect, you ran naked into a wolverine pit with a steak tied to your wang.

I don't hate any OMs but my least favourite ones are:
TG: Escape, Strange Bedfellows. Bonehoard bores me.
TMA: Soulforge.
TDS: The first 3 missions: Blue Heron Inn, Rutherford Castle, Pagan sanctuary.
I love all the other missions, although Shipping & Receiving is only fun if I ghost it.
