Dungeon Master

In about an hour, Battlestar Galactica starts again. Who else watches? Anyone else pumped for the coming episode?

Personally, I'm stoked. I don't usually get too excited about TV series, but this one's got me absolutely hooked. Normally I'd record it, but I can't risk not having time to watch it tomorrow :P

Never watched it, but from what I've heard, the show took the story from the books, horribly maimed it, and then shat on its dessicated husk.

Ergo, I'm not very likely to see it.

For a second when I saw this thread's title, I thought it stood for "Back Street Girls" :lol:


For some reason, a lot of the stuff on Sci-fi turn me off. Especially the sci-fi original movies; the story line and dialogues are cheezy as fuck and usually aren't good.

But they need ways to not fantasize (Star Wars, etc) nor keep too much connection to modern day (Star Trek's technology).

I appreciate sci-fi, but exaggerating the year and plot (Year 2552, Humans with 20th century technology and "Spartans" on Africa - Halo series), then follows what I listed, it sucks.

Responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast

You should give BSG a shot. The storyline is compelling and it doesn't rely on its sci-fi setting as a crutch. It's more like a drama set in space than traditional sci-fi.



all i am is a contrary canary
but i'm crazy for you
i watched you cradling a tissue box
sneezing and sniffling, you were still a fox

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
