    WC:U intro movie

    Wow, charlieg totally shouldn't have been banned. If this issue was getting out of hand, the topic should have been closed. If it was off topic, it should have been split. Eder is wrong. He was just a dude making a valid feature request until he kept poking and prodding about...

    Heh heh, Strike Commander reference. Beto was the fixer who was always stuffing his face. Good times...

    Favourite WC music

    Definitely NOT Prophecy. Oldziey is f------ fantastic (I must cast my vote for WC4), but his tracks from Prophecy are nothing to write home about. I believe he's said something about tension between himself and the developers, differing creative visions and stuff, in interviews. Prophecy's...

    Babylon 5 ?'s

    Haven't tried the F2 mod, but I can tell you that the B5 movie project (for better or for worse) is not going to happen

    Remake of the music of the Privateer

    Good stuff! The launch music has a few issues though. -The string part at the beginning sounds like it's up an octave or two from the original... -Timpani sounds too dry; maybe put a bit of reverb on it. -Overall, important parts from the original aren't loud enough sometimes (the horns at...

    That was rude of me... I'm sorry.

    GOOD ONE. Adding the "not unlike" part made it sound less childish too.

    I don't understand your argument. The Greek and Roman references are OK, because they suggest a connection between space culture and Earth cultures. But the victory tune doesn't imply any connection? It seems to me that it does... are you saying that it's not a valid connection because we...

    Battlestar Galactica on SCI-FI.com - WOW!

    Actually, the space people in Battlestar Galactica are very closely connected to Earth. There are a lot of strong cultural and religious ties to old civilizations; worshipping a Greekish pantheon of gods, characters with Greek and Roman names (Gaius, Valeri, Agathon, Thrace), the UK title has a...

    Battlestar Galactica on SCI-FI.com - WOW!

    Lolz, yeah why didn't they get John Willaims to do the music for this episode? All triumphent spaec music should sound like him (or maybe Glodsmith). But seriously, that scene needed to happen. Apollo just blew up the Death Star, and if there wasn't some kind of shot of the triumphant...

    Battlestar Galactica on SCI-FI.com - WOW!

    This episode was real good. The space battle was done extremely well. Not just in the CGI-sense, but in how it was integrated into the episode. Moving around tabletop models to actually help outline the flow of the battle and the progression of the "outside of the box" plan worked really...

    Whee, we made Slashdot

    Your post makes no sense.

    Mercenary guild render, mining base model

    pretty sure hellcatv was talking about engine limitations and not artistic choice.

    Militia Paradigms?

    If the Militia needs ships that are bigger than fighters (which is probably reasonable), they wouldn't be top of the line capital ships. Better a Drayman than a Paradigm.

    The UP 200 Dog Sled Race

    The biggest two races (dogsled or otherwise... as long as by 'biggest' you mean 'longest') in the continental US are the Iditarod and Yukon Quest (now underway!), though the Quest is partially in Canada. Both are about 1000 miles long. And there are indeed two recent (bad) movies about sled...

    Battlestar Galactica on SCI-FI.com - WOW!

    It was BAD in the last episode of DS9. The shots were long, and there was absolutely no way to mistake that they were recycling footage from other episodes (if you had seen those episodes). It's not nearly as bad in the new BSG; how many ways can you spin a 2 second shot of a fighter shooting...

    Battlestar Galactica on SCI-FI.com - WOW!

    Low point: Adama calling off the witch hunt, and the master at arms says "restrain the commander", and Worf folds his arms and doesn't do anything. High point: The chief, angry and full of guilt over his man taking the fall for him, does the right thing and tells off Boomer who wants to...

    The Starbuck-raider thing is probably the lamest thing the show has done so far. I can look past the plugging of the hole, since it is plugged with a space suit; all you'd need to do would be to anchor it pretty tightly (with space glue, or tie it to other components) and it would hold in the...
