Hey, the blast at 2:09 sounds just like the Dreadnought's fusion thing. Title: Re: StarCon2/UQM-Reference in Futurama Trailer! Post by: countchocula86 on January 01, 2008, 07:57:14 am Good ol hypnotoad! Benders Big Score was an awesome movie
Title: Re: StarCon2/UQM-Reference in Futurama Trailer! Post by: Anthony on January 01, 2008, 09:11:49 pm Good ol hypnotoad! Benders Big Score was an awesome movie So, can we send one of those Hypnotoads to Activision (or Activision Blizzard if they finish that merger) and just have it say "Star Control" over and over again? That would be cool. As for that sound, it does indeed sound similar to the Dreadnought fusion blast, but the one in UQM is more "echoey", and it also sounds like the photon torpedo in Star Trek TNG. Star Control did ring in my head when I heard that sound, so it's cool that you spotted that. Title: Re: StarCon2/UQM-Reference in Futurama Trailer!

Remember how you went and got yourself killed and the green dudes got pretty pissed off? That's what we're talking about. Also, our great leader Paul Reiche III has said that the dude is a hypnotoad. If you use a lot of imagination, it does indeed look a little bit toadish :) Title: Re: StarCon2/UQM-Reference in Futurama Trailer! Post by: countchocula86 on January 03, 2008, 05:43:42 am Hypnotoad is supposed to be similar to the Dynarri, but I never noticed any similarity till someone else said it. Still, they are kinda similar concepts.
