Brian Reynolds on SMAC voiceovers

[Commy]

Don't forget the movies...

Ascetic Virtues, hey, is that the pope I saw, or was that just another old dead guy?

And then there's the dream twister, man, I didn't know Asian people looked like that...

Oh, and don't forget the Planetary Datalinks, with all the anarchists...

As for quotes, most are actually pretty dang good, especially the ones by Yang...

[Net Warrior]

Didn't I notice Osama bin Laden in one of those movies?

[Alex]

Hehe, in the opening movie there is a guy praying who looks like Bin Laden...

I agree, the voiceovers, movies and all the "fluffy" things were amazing and gave SMAC a unique sense of atmosphere and personality that I'm yet to find in another TBS game.

...which could be why this community is still around, X years on.

[Commy]

50 years from now, we'll still be playing SMAC and windows 98...

[GeoModder]

Oh no, at least one of us must have become a miljonaire by then and order a developper to create SMACX II, SMACX - the Sequels, and SMACX - Transcendence Hereafter!!

You never know, Wal-mart just might do the job...

i believe that kind of marching chant is called a cadence in the US military, it helps to keep time "I dont know but of been told, Navy wings are made of gold" is one you might remember from the film "An Officer and a Gentleman"
