Unless you own the rights you cant realy sue them anyway lol... even that wouldnt. Maybe if the sential was feasting over a pit of humans bones like the ur-quan koah-ah looks like hes doing, MAYBE then you could get somewhere........ ok maybe not.

heh
i gonna post it in another forum :D

I kept thinking them Sentinels looked damn familiar!
Should've realized t'was like looking into a mirror =)

...

i feel *really* stupid for not seeing that.

in war of the worlds movie
the alien kind of looks like a black ur-quan

If I was an octopus, I'd probably sue em both for defamation of character.  At least, until I realized octopuses can't hire lawyers.

But then, if you were an octopus, unable of suing, you could always *squirt the juice* on them...

On who?  Fred, Paul and the Brothers W, or the lawyers?

Either way, it sounds perverse to me.

Hey, when you *squirt* you *squirt*. Don't matter much who you be hittin. You think octopus ink is perverse? Hmmm.... It's a good thing that I've no idea what moves in your head.. ;)

I thought it was *squeezing* the juice! Which I only remember because the Orz also remind me of talking lemons!

Yes, but I'm taking artistic liberties wqith the source material. After all, an octopus *squuezing* you wouldn't be very scary would it?

....

Right, there are BIG octopuses as well... Hmm, didn't think of that. Darn.

I think a VUX squeezing you would be VERY scary, even if it was a little one!

I think I'll just go with the Syreen squeeze... ;)

Did you ever read American Gods?

Syreen: Worship me.
Guy: umm... okay...

etc.

That was a very good book... Twisted, as Gaiman tends to be, but very interesting, fascinating and entertaining...

Imagine, if the same applies in the SC universe, Dogar and Kazon are probably walking around somewhere looking for Zelnick right now... Ouch...

As a side note, I wonder if the Umgah have a religion?

My point is that having the syreen squeeze might not be very comfortable either.

I realise that, it's a scene from the book that is hard to forget. I was just rambling on.

Never read American Gods. Sorry.

I think I'd be willing to take a chance with a Syreen, though the glowing eyes may be a little distracting.

I don't know what version of the game YOU played, but it was pretty freaking dark in there for me.

Still, they do have very bright eyes.
We haven't established whether Druuge eyes glow in the dark. Any volunteers to find out?

Don't shoot until you see the glow of their eyes?

how much money does fred and paul need to
buy back the rights

From the Wachowski bros?
;)

One of the problems is that the more money offered the more valuable it is perceived as being, because there is a demonstrable fan base supplying it. So Accolade wouldn't sell the rights for cheap, especially now that the game is GROWING again.

So, everybody stays off this board for at least 6 month to devalue SC2?

Seriously, is Accolade still around?  Didn't they declare bankrupcy and close shop already?

GAHHHH!

The Evil Ones! Where's Fwiffo??? :o

Atari owns Infogrames which owns Accolade which owns the rights to the name "Star Control"

If anyone at Atari reads this, know that we, the people who will buy and judge a SC# game, will only buy it if FF and PR3 work on it.  If they don't it will be another flop like SC3.

A little complicated, isn't it?

I think it would be too much to ask that someone from Atari would be interested in checking out the UQM message boards. :(

Didn't think about that when I was watching the film. Though I have thought they always have seemed familiar ...  ;)

Eh, isn't it a little more like Infogrames bought Accolade, so there is no Accolade anymore and Infogrames changed their name to Atari, so there is only Atari now?  ::)

Still, what's the need of using the actual name "Star Control"?
I know it means a lot and everything, but wouldn't you prefer that Toys For Bob released a "very familiar" game, with the name... "Star Controlle", or something like that?
Is that possible?
Can you think of any other names?
;)

How bout:

"The Ur-Quan Masters" ;)

or maybe:

"Spathiwa: Galactic Cowardice in the Face of Evil" ;D

Now the truth of the Matrix is revealed.  The sky is black to cover the red glow of the slave shield.  The Matrix was designed by the Ur Quan to keep both the machines and the humans from knowing that they are enslaved.  The Matrix will remain until the rescuers from Unzervalt arrive.

 ;D Points for brining a huge smile to my face. The Quan outsmarted the machines! Something I hope we get to see in the thrid movie...

Well, sorry for ruining the surprise of the 3rd movie, but...
Actually, agent Smith is an Ur-Quan slave, and when he kills Neo, the Quans feel safe enough to come down to the surface and show their ugly faces.

Machines = Mmmrmmrn ?(or however you spell their blasted names...)

OK, I've been cranky lately, so this may be a bit over the top, but you do all realize that you are connected to the Internet, right?  If this were not true, you would not be able to post here.

That being the case, you do have the completely unfettered ability to do research on any and all topics before posting.  Not sure how to spell "Mmrnmhrm"?  Open a new window, surf over to The Pages of Now and Forever (http://www.star-control.com) and look it up while you post.  For most other topics, Google (http://www.google.com) does a rather fine job of getting you what you need.  For spell-checking, Merriam-Webster (http://www.m-w.com) has a dictionary available for public use.

There is no sense of "immediacy" here, i.e., people aren't waiting on your response like they would in, say, an instant messaging chat, or IRC.  Instead, you have an indelible record of the fact that you could not be bothered to do even the most basic fact-checking before spewing something into the public record, and in a medium that is amazingly friendly to the activity of fact-checking, no doubt.

This is not meant as a personal attack, but more an open letter to the forum.  If it was taken as such, a thousand apologies.

(this post was a lot funnier before I went through and removed all the cursing prior to submission :) )

Yeee-ikes!

Have the flames stopped, yet??

:D

Hey, I learned how to spell Mmrmhrm from PNF... indeed, with these resources available, claiming ignorance is basically claiming laziness.

Which is OK, if you're into that sort of thing.

Nic, have you been taking some pills that Khor-Ah_Primat gave you?  ::)

Bad C-20! Bad!

<cough> hijacker <cough>

By all means, feel free to return to the thread if you have anything useful to contribute.

Nic. That must've been one cranky day. Wish you hadn't edited out the humouros (don't know how to spell it or where to find a spellchecker, sorry! I don't have the internet ;) ) swearing though... I would've liked to see that.

its just MMRNMHRM! "Master Machine Roundish Numbering Machine Hellish Reddish Meter" or something like that
