The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

There's some silly craze going on at Something Awful. The topic started with this...

Which led to things like these...

And finally this. Look familiar?

My point is, if any of you guys know how to photoshop I'd be happy to post your work in the SA topic and see that you get credit for it.

What you say?

Tug... ur-quan stole my tug... ur-quan stole my tug... stole my tug...

The Captain Zelnick song O_o

No, I didn't make this one either. Hooray for not knowing how to photoshop. :-(

Have you tried using gimp? It fills the role of photoshop for the most part, but it is free.

Do you want us to make another SC one, or one set in another universe?

I don't need you guys to do anything, I just thought I'd show off the silly trend. If you want to contribute something that would be cool.

I couldn't find the thread. Hints?

Though going on their forums is nearly pointless if you aren't a member.

I made one:

A nice simple one.  I put the precursor ship in for good balance.  Feel free to use it.  Damn, $9.95 registration fee :'(

Damn, that's nice. There seems to be a de-facto "you can't make it your signature if someone else already has that boss" rule, but I can still post it.

Thank you!  Glad to be contributing.

Hmm... I'm holding out for someone to dredge up an image of Werdna. There were several, due to multiple releases on multiple platforms. The macintosh image was not very good, never finished on any other platform...

Too many Japanese console RPG bosses...   :-\

Where's the Guardian, from Ultima? Or Mondain, Minax, and Exodus?

Not from a video game, but something that definately would qualify as end-boss material in my book.

Now can someone please tell me how to post images directly to the forum?

wrap it in (http://) tags

unless you mean SA's forum, which you can't, unless you're a Goon, are you?

As MasterGrazzt was trying to say, try something like:
This displays as: (http://koti.mbnet.fi/lonnberg/pik.png)

There you go.  Long live and prosper!  There's the image ^

Damn, I still miss Enterprise :D

This is quite fun, actually... :)

How about this?

Cool cool, Elerium and Tsing.  The more the merrier....  Anyone out there feel motivated to make more Star Control pics?

I can post all of these at the end of the week for you guys and give credit to your screen names. You may notice I decided to use batman4050's Sa-Matra as a signature anyway.

I'm not from around here -  but I just saw this at SomethingAwful, then googled it to land here, and introduced it over at the mugen dcvsmarvel project (http://dcvsmarvel.scruffydragon.com) -- think mine could go up on SA as well?

Appreciate it, sirs and madams...

None of the imageshack pictures showed up when I tried a preview post. Most of you guys will need to use a different host.

host it yerself, sucka

Just to be obnoxious; here is a large one.

one minute of work.

That's a signature that's hard to miss...  It's almost a wallpaper!  :o

You should make a smaller version.  It could be a 1.5 minute work.

That pic is from Final Fantasy VII!

edit: removing a useless comment I made before...

A giant Sephiroth will almost certainly get me yelled at hardcore over there.  :-[

I used to respect you.

What?!!! :'( The grahpics were great!  If you're referring to the story, it's the usual "giant monster, evil corporation" them all over, but I was impressed by the graphics and animation nonetheless :D

Final Fantasy VII is quite possibly the most over-rated game of all time. The graphics are not good; the characters have giant blocky goat hooves as their hands and feet. And the battle system? Materia makes every character in the game interchangable. There aren't really any mages, assassins, healers or warriors. Everyone is a total hybrid that can perform another role just by switching some materia around. I HATE THAT.

I can't argue with you there :D
What was I thinking?  Damn them and their mind control!

Final fantasy comes in three flavours: (in order from worst to best, imo)

3. The game series (most well known)
2. The anime series (less well known)
1. The movie series (well known).

Final fantasy 7 advent children has a scene that looks exactly like that pic. As I've only played two of the games (and considered both highly lackluster) I wouldn't know. I loved the movies, though, and the anime was also pretty awesome. Particularly if you compare it to (wards off evil) yugioh or that neverending thing about some dragon's balls.

And before someone attacks my yugioh stance, watching people play magic the gathering is more stimulating. So's watching paint dry.

But I digress.
