Do not speak ill of the Shatner!

 

He'll hunt you down and do stuff. Really bad stuff. Like knock on your door then run away and if you're really mean about him he'll make you listen to one of his albums! Just watch your step.

Shatner is the hero of my childhood! The real captain of the USS Enterprise! :)

I prefer Patrick Stewart, but then, he was the captain of my childhood. To be perfectly honest, I always preferred Babylon 5 to some damn Deep Space Franchise. :)

 

Hey, maybe we could turn this thread into an argument of B5 versus Star Trek! :laugh:

I grew up on Kirk, but preferred Picard. Next Gen was just a better fit for me I think. I liked the more thoughtful approach it often took.

I also grew up with an older brother who loved Trek and watch Kirk reruns whenever they were on, so he's my true captain. But I liked Picard equally well I have to say, in a very different way. Picard was more authoritative and wise, whereas Kirk was "the man".

Yes... "thoughtful". That's certainly one way of describing it.

 

Worf: Captain, the aliens have opened fire and blown a hole though ten decks.

Picard: Oh, well, open hailing frequencies.

Deanna: I sense hostility.

Data: They aren't answering our hail.

Riker: Return fire!

Worf: (fires exactly one shot) No effect.

Riker: Run away!

Geordi: We can't. Their first shot disabled every system on the ship.

Wesley: Hey guys I [tech]d into their [tech], disabling their [tech]-[tech]-[techitytechtech]. We're saved!

Really? I got a hell of a lot more out of it than that. There was some great character exploration on that show.

Save precious time -- watch "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" instead. (for free on starwreck.com)

 

Been a Trek Fan for years, but i ended up liking the parody stuff as well or even more.

 

TNG sure had "character exploration" and some real interesting philosophical arguments in it. But they spoiled it for me in the movies.

 

And in the next movie they're going to... -- oops! It's not the OT-forum. Well good night then.

Kirk was more the brash action hero. Picard felt more believable as a strong-minded diplomat a space organization would actually let run an expensive flagship.

Yeah, that's right. I also liked Picard, because he is really a great actor. Never associated him with the Enterprise though. It should have been it's own franchise. :)

That dialogue sounds quite strange. So the captain tells the crew to open the frequencies to make contact, and Riker (1st Lieutenant?) overrides him and orders to fire back? If that is the whole dialogue wouldn't this mean that some kind of mutiny, or at minimum insubordination? :)

1st Lieutenant?!?! That's it, hand over your nerd badge!

But remember that in Kirk's time it was still pretty early and they needed adventurous daring leader to help "tame" the wild unknown

There are way too many Star Trek parodies. There is a german one called "Star Dreck" (Dreck is german vor dirt) which just presents new voicerecordings over the older motion picture. In one episode the spend about half an hour talking about black coffee. Hilarious!! :D I have spent more time watching this than the real Star Trek aparently. We just didn't receive the right TV-channels at that time.

 

(Maybe we should move this thread to off-topic ;) )

Think it was called "Sinnlos im Weltraum" (=senseless in space) originally. But yes, too many parodies. When it's just comedy and a cheap way to entertain you, or even worse some kids copying that = no good. But SiW is great and so is Star Wreck (IMO).

 

And BTW if you put milk in your coffee it's no longer black anymore.

      I just uploaded a new version of the Visible Player Hands mod. It's been updated for TDM 2.13 and has new animations. Check out the post if you're interested!

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
