• thinking about how “diverse” she should be? If I was “non-white” I would probably find it offensive. NO STAR TREK FAN CARES about the skin colour of the main protagonist.

POLITICS ALERT

I always am amazed at how many white people think they know what minorities should or shouldn’t think about a given subject.

I’m also amazed when someone thinks all fans of a a given franchise are the same.

I know a bunch of “non-white” Star Trek fans, and they are PUMPED for news like this, every time. Because, sadly, it’s still hard to find a character in fiction who represents them, who their kids can see themselves as.

Think of the Kelvin Timeline as another Mirror Universe. It’s always been there, always been different, it just so happens that our Spock got stuck there.

As for the lead not being a Captain, there’s a lot of possibilities there. From what I understand, The West Wing started out focusing on everyone but the President. Or think of “Lower Decks” or similar episodes, which explored what life was like for non-senior staff members, which could make for an interesting series. Or the senior staff is wiped out in the first 10 minutes and she’s the highest ranking person on board.

But who’s on first?

I didn’t expect Doom-like play mechanics, but once I realized that I couldn’t get through the exploration, the fact that the shooting was so unintuitive pushed me over the edge. Another problem I had was all the dialogue where you have to choose what to say. That was taking too long so I just stopped playing.

None of these are even critiques of the game really. It just wasn’t for me.

So you bought the game knowing nothing about it or the genre it represents? OK.

P.S. I was, at long last, successful in my attempts to get Command and Conquer: The First Decade to run on Windows 10 thanks to a convoluted series of patches which intrepid fans have put together. God bless them. Now, I wonder if they have any for Dune II or Dune 2000…
Why aren’t they on Steam or Origin?

P.P.S. Or the original Doom? Is that on Steam?

You tried GoG.com?

Or ifixit can help you.

I didn’t watch it on youtube. I downloaded a iso off pirate bay. It has the original audio or rifftrax audio selectable. It also has commmercials embedded and colors corrected. It was made with the best video source available. Think they said it was a 1st generation VHS.

Oh, this isn’t the version on RiffTrax’s site at all, this is probably version 1 of Zion’s restoration or someone else’s. Depending on whose restoration it is, it could be color corrected to look like anything.

I re-read the original post, you’re asking the eventual official release to be color corrected to look like shit. I get it now.

He cuts off the remaining arm and legs in one swoop.

To be fair, the hand-to-hand stuff is pretty shaky cam, but I didn’t let that get in the way of my enjoyment of the film.

TV’s Frink said:

The joke is too good to worry about the inconsistency.

WYSHS

Are we confusing The Ridiculous Menace with actual canon? Because I’m ok with that.

MathUser said:

I already saw it with the corrective coloring in that special edition they released with the Rifftrax. I wouldn’t mind seeing an attempt at coloring it to look similar to the re-released movies and the prequels.

The YouTube rip RiffTrax released with their commentary is color corrected? By whom? This is news to me.

ATMachine said:

And even that gives Luke and Leia different ages: Luke’s age is now 18, but Leia is still “around sixteen years old.”

Which would explain where I got my numbers, that my mom had to point out to me as a kid was silly, they’re twins!

Someone actually brings up something tangentially related to the project, and we’re still sniping at each other. I’m tempted to ask Ady if I should ask the mods to lock this thread until his return, we’ve OBVIOUSLY run out of things to talk about.

One Year Later

It seems like no one cares about tabletop games, but I’m going to Gen Con in Indianapolis tomorrow, if anyone else is going to be there.

teharri said:

Question. Will Ady take any new additions to the Star Wars canon into consideration when working on ROTJ? Can ships from Rogue One make an appearance in the Battle of Endor?

He’s not going to play slave to it, but if something is cool he might include it. (see the Falcon bunk.)

Nick66 said:

Some of you take yourselves way too seriously. And by some of you I mostly mean “TV’s Frink”.

Don’t forget that you also got Adywan so pissed off that he signed back in just to complain about you. So, joke complete!

Nick66 said:

though you know, one doeS woNder why this project is tAking so long. lucas made the empire strikes back in thRee years, then later released all three films on blu-ray at the same time. And those were in 1080p. so doing one of these 720p projects should be easy, though we’ll be lucKy to see them before episode IX.

Improved!

Someone makes a lighthearted joke and you all bust out the torches and carry it for over two pages. Good grief.
Does anybody enjoy coming here anymore? I’m asking seriously.

I had no idea it was a joke until his second and third posts a page later.

Same here.

Whatever Nick was doing, it worked?

God. DAMN IT.

I debated doing that exact joke all morning, then I didn’t.

TV’s Frink said:

If the person doing whatever they want to do with page 1313 and making a post is reluctant to post that post it is understandable until they feel it is ready…

Nobody has to put any input other than the poster… But this is a forum of pretty skilled posters… even then would whatever you propose be good enough? Probably not…

The thing is it’s all good and well saying post… But at the end of the day let’s be honest don’t post something that cannot compare to “the standard post”. And if you cannot reach or exceed the desired standard post then you are simply not good enough for what the thread dictates.

people just want to read it and to be honest that is fair enough. Stop bashing people for expressing desire and get over it.

It’s not evil. People have waited and waited and fair enough Page 1314 has been delayed but honestly fuck off if you think people can’t express their desire to read something they appreciate and admire. Perhaps they don’t put it in the correct manner of speaking like I have but. People really are excited and they don’t know how to say they want to read page 1314 it other than… “Is it posted yet?”

Just relax and stop bashing people for being excited and we all hope it will be an amazing page because if it was not delayed then it would not have had any extra thought. It’s evidence of extra “Hang on a minute!” thinking and loving the original page and that can be nothing but a very good thing.

I just hate drama over nothing.

TV’s Frink said:

Why isn’t Page 1313 done yet?

I’m ready to read page 1314 now. And I’m afraid I’m going to have to insist.

No.
