You mean Cortana which was a rebrand of Clippy.
Marketing people at MS:
What should we name this virtual assistant? How about Cortana? What’s a Cortana? It’s that assistant from Halo, it’s like Clippy but with boobs.
Clippy never had a voice and tbh the one that comes to mind for him is not very easy on the ears. Like downpitched spongebob.
Clippy’s voice is the shrieks of bending metal, but on too small a scale to be heard by human ears.
I wish we got Clippy with boobs, id even settle for a Bonzi Buddy with boobs.
Best I can do is your chest with boobs
it's worth it
Fun fact: Cortana is named after a French sword
What’s the Pillar of Autumn named after?
Some dude named Autumn's dick
Copy that, Pho Hammer
It's Foe-hammer. Named after some bearded weirdo's elven sword.
Cortanas boobs got nerfed in the later games
You could change the dog to Merlin the wizard, Clippy or a couple others
