00:16.22 | Monet | A lot of horror movie adverts feel the same to me. Flickering lights, darkness, at least one jumpscare, scenes of beautiful people panicking. |
00:16.36 | Monet | And strobing. |

00:18.33 | Hachiman | Hello again |
00:19.01 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
00:19.03 | Monet | Hi |
00:19.10 | Monet | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEew7zvpAWE some old advertising magic. |
00:19.50 | Hachiman | It's kinda funny that Steven King actually despises Kubrick's Shining |
00:20.14 | Hachiman | And then went on to try and do a Shining thing himself and fucked it up |
00:21.26 | Monet | I recall hearing that the car that we see crushed under a lorry was Kubrick saying "screw you Steve, this is my project" |
00:21.55 | Hachiman | I remember hearing that but I cannot remember why that was the case |
00:22.22 | Monet | In the book, the family drives a blue VW beetle - which was what lay flattened under the lorry's trailer. |
00:22.32 | Monet | In the film, it's yellow. |
00:24.57 | Monet | One of the few issues I have is the casting of Jack. |
00:25.43 | Monet | http://orig11.deviantart.net/f146/f/2016/188/6/1/jack_torrance_10_by_carriejokerbates-da93y73.jpg This was supposed to be Jack Torrence at his most sane. Jack Nicholson has only one setting: Crazy. |
00:30.43 | Hachiman | Yeah Nicholson was a kind of odd choice |
00:30.52 | Hachiman | He acts great when Jack goes insane |
00:31.16 | Hachiman | But I could never buy Nicholson as playing a sane man |
00:32.10 | Monet | The legendary "Little pig | here's Johnny!" line was an ad-lib by Jack that Kubrick was convinced to keep in the film. |
00:33.18 | Hachiman | Which is surprising given that Kubrick was an immensely strict director |
00:33.27 | Monet | Indeed. |
00:33.36 | Monet | Although one of my favourite bits of movie trivia was that is an actual door being smashed in - Jack used to work as a volunteer fireman and knew the fastest way to smash in a door. |
00:34.05 | Hachiman | Which is kind of terrifying |
00:34.18 | Monet | They had a prop door at first but Jack hacked though it way too fast. |
00:35.39 | Monet | My other favourite bit is that tick Jack gets when h's given a grilled cheese sandwich is real - Jack Nicholson doesn't like grilled cheese sandwiches but by order of Kubrick was served one every single day of filming. |
00:36.20 | Monet | By the time it came to that scene, Jack had developed a nervous twitch to the sight or mention of grilled cheese. |
00:39.53 | Monet | These bits of filmmaking trivia always fascinated me |
00:40.23 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
00:41.50 | Monet | Like for instance when recording Alien, there are two stories I love: 1) John Hurt was the only actor who knew about the chestburster scene in detail. The reactions everyone makes, were all genuine. |
00:42.59 | Monet | 2) the guy who played the Xeno was kept isolated from the rest of the cast. No one knew who was underneath the penis-headed space monster. |
00:44.47 | Hachiman | Aye, I heard about those |
00:45.42 | Hachiman | Alien is full of little trivial gems |
00:46.03 | Hachiman | IIRC when Ash malfunctioned and started spewing white fluid everywhere, apparently his actor had some form of issue with the milk that they had used or something along those lines |
00:47.37 | Monet | I heard that allegedly, Lambert's little "oh god" was not so mush from the horridness of the monster (it was somewhat cute) but that there was much more blood used than she predicted. |
00:48.32 | Hachiman | Oh yeah, Lambert's actress is quite sensitive about blood |
00:48.48 | Hachiman | It made her feel incredibly queasy |
00:50.19 | Monet | I think everyone, both cast and many of the audience, were ready to throw up when it popped out. |
00:50.31 | Monet | Back when it was first shown |
00:52.31 | Hachiman | Yeah |
00:53.20 | Monet | There's also how Scott basically killed the crew in descending order of their fame and budget. |
00:54.13 | Hachiman | Oh God what |
00:57.42 | Monet | No one had ever heard of Sigourney Weaver before Alien. |
00:58.00 | Monet | Alien was her first film gig. |
00:59.10 | Hachiman | I never noticed that |
00:59.22 | Monet | Veronica Cartwright was in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the Birds before Alien. |
00:59.43 | Tek0516 | If I remember the first guy was a big name especially. |
01:00.21 | Monet | Oh yeah John Hurt is an acting legend |
01:00.33 | Hachiman | It's kind of funny that Weaver even got the part of Ripley, since if I recall Cartwright was actually considered first |
01:00.46 | Hachiman | That or Cartwright was led to believe that she would be Ripley |
01:01.45 | Hachiman | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Covenant Oh fuck |
01:01.48 | Monet | Before Alien, Hurt was lead voice in Watership Down and The Lord of the Rings. |
01:03.19 | Monet | Hachiman: I've known about this for a while |
01:03.27 | Monet | Scott's planning a trilogy. |
01:03.32 | Hachiman | Fucking |
01:03.33 | Hachiman | Scott why |
01:04.05 | Monet | Scott - MONEY |
01:04.22 | Hachiman | I mean, I know The Martian was one of his recent films and was one of his best from what I've heard |
01:04.42 | Hachiman | But come on, it's like he learned nothing from Prometheus' mixed to negative reception |
01:06.00 | Tek0516 | Well just because it's a sequel doesn't mean it'll be the same. |
01:06.46 | Monet | The title suggests he's keeping the "Engineers are God" idea from the first film. |
01:07.01 | Hachiman | The fact he made the Engineers humanoid kind of comes across to me like he spat in Giger's face |
01:07.16 | Hachiman | Well, kind of |
01:07.51 | Monet | That or it sounds like he's sticking to mocking religion. |
01:09.20 | Monet | I mean Dr. Shaw said she was confident in her theory that the Engineers created mankind and when asked to defend her hypothesis she said, I shit you not, "I have faith" |
01:09.28 | Hachiman | Yeah |
01:09.50 | Hachiman | And then she ends up subject to a miraculous birth - a birth that leads to a giant squid thing |
01:11.09 | Monet | While one of her crewmembers dies because he treats an alien snake like he could befriend it even when it was clearly giving "fuck off asshole" vibes. |
01:11.38 | Hachiman | Yeah, Scott somehow manages to make both believers and unbelievers look like fucking idiots |
01:12.00 | Monet | This guy was a biologist and momentarily ignored what it means for a hooded cobra to open out it's hood. |
01:13.04 | Hachiman | I don't even get how him and Fifield got lost |
01:13.26 | Hachiman | Like, they split from the group for some really odd reason and then ignore the fact Fifield generated a map earlier |
01:14.53 | Monet | Didn't one of them go "fuck this I'm out of here" after finding the chamber with the giant head? |
01:15.57 | Monet | I love CinemaSins coining the term "Prometheus School of running away" |
01:16.01 | DrodoEmpire | >Stream starts with an earrapey Dramaalert intro |
01:16.09 | DrodoEmpire | I gotta see thi |
01:16.10 | DrodoEmpire | *this |
01:16.32 | Hachiman | Monet: It was after they discovered the pile of Engineer corpses |
01:16.49 | DrodoEmpire | WOOOOOT IS UUUP DRAMAALERT NATION |
01:17.03 | Hachiman | DrodoEmpire: LETS GET RIIIIIIIIIIGHT INTO THE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE |
01:17.09 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
01:17.26 | DrodoEmpire | I'M ON BLOGTV WITH MY FUCKIN HANDS UP |
01:17.32 | DrodoEmpire | I AINT DOIN THIS MY FUCKING SELF |
01:18.27 | Monet | Hachiman: I think they got lost and by the time they'd gathered themselves there was a convenient storm outside. |
01:18.27 | Hachiman | Fifield said that he wasn't in the business of discovering and examining Engineer corpses, even though he's on an expedition with a bunch of biologists into an ancient alien settlement so I dunno exactly what the fuck he was expecting |
01:18.51 | Monet | Maybe he wasn't expecting a mass grave? |
01:19.12 | Hachiman | I mean, I get he's a geologist, but fucking come on |
01:19.50 | Monet | What about Shaw telling him to leave a flamethrower behind in case this was a first contact situation. |
01:20.37 | Hachiman | I don't even get why they have so many flamethrowers |
01:21.15 | Hachiman | I know that flamethrowers are useful in some instances for utility but honestly |
01:21.18 | Monet | Well they were on a cryoship - had to prepare for any situation. |
01:22.21 | Hachiman | Also note the fact that the medbay in Vickers' quarters was designed for male surgery only for some odd reason |
01:22.24 | Monet | But still, they had no fucking clue what's inside that mound and she wants to send the team in unarmed just in case the Engineers are still waiting with open arms? |
01:22.38 | Hachiman | Aye |
01:23.27 | Monet | Actually that was the other thing that bugged me: The aliens decided back when they first guided humanity to tell them about a star cluster they will be destined to one day go to. |
01:24.00 | Monet | Humans fuck up somehow, so the aliens decide to turn the welcome centre into a weapons lab. |
01:24.03 | Hachiman | Yeah, now that you mention it, that is really odd |
01:24.17 | Hachiman | It's like, why even fucking bother |
01:26.05 | Hachiman | It's no secret that Prometheus is full of idiot characters and shitty writing but the rabbit hole only ever seems to get deeper the more you analyse it |
01:27.14 | Monet | I suppose the aliens' plan was to demonstrate how humanity was made, but if you're going to weaponise that shit try it at a location your enemy *doesn't* know about. |
01:27.24 | Wormy_ | Leads me to wonder why Ridley Scott, a great director can have a film scoring with a low or mixed reception. |
01:28.11 | Hachiman | Nobody is perfect, reallt |
01:28.13 | Hachiman | really* |
01:28.26 | Hachiman | And I think Prometheus did have some issues during production |
01:28.32 | Monet | I think the analogy I considered was turning Liberty Island into a top secret chemical weapons lab. |
01:28.57 | Hachiman | It was originally supposed to be an entirely different movie with a much more Alien-esque plot based on an old script that was leaked |
01:32.44 | Hachiman | Like, the crew of a research vessel called the Magellan found an Engineer site and investigated it before encountering some form of proto-Facehugger that is implied to be an unmodified form of Facehugger which later births an entity known as the "Beluga-Xenomorph" |
01:32.57 | Monet | I loved Empire's summary of the Engineers: "So basically theyâve spent two years in cryo to discover that God is Jason Statham." |
01:33.04 | Hachiman | http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/2/2f/64739-1-.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20121118230342 With this being conceptual art for it |
01:33.18 | Hachiman | hur |
01:34.05 | Monet | "and the Space Jockey â sorry, Engineer â turns out to be a overly-pumped bald bloke with dead-eyes who has no dialogue and punches people across the room." |
01:34.18 | Monet | Yep sounds like Jason to me. |
01:34.21 | Hachiman | Oh God |
01:36.29 | Monet | Shame really, as this film tries to be a hybrid of 2001 and Alien. |
01:36.58 | Hachiman | Yeah and it just doesn't work in this case |
01:37.01 | Hachiman | On either front |
01:38.54 | Monet | Though I suppose the Beluga-Xenomorph could do with a little work. |
01:39.19 | Monet | Is that why the Engineers were literally white guys? |
01:39.52 | Hachiman | I'm honestly not sure |
01:40.59 | Monet | Probably the most cringey fact we get is rumours that the reason the Engineers decided to destroy us was something that happened "roughly 2000" years ago. |
01:41.46 | Hachiman | I'm fairly sure it's something to do with Jesus |
01:42.15 | Monet | I don't think there is any other way of interpreting that date. |
01:42.19 | Hachiman | I wouldn't put it past Scott to say that Jesus was modified human or actually an Engineer |
01:43.06 | Monet | I've heard Jesus was in fact an Engineer. |
01:43.53 | DrodoEmpire | As far as historical figures go, there're better people to say are aliens then Jesus >.< Jesus had a tiny following, and we're not even sure who he was |
01:44.05 | Hachiman | >tiny following |
01:44.14 | Hachiman | I mean I get that he had his 12 disciples but |
01:44.21 | DrodoEmpire | Sure, he *made* a big world religion, but it didn't spread until after he was gone |
01:44.27 | Monet | Yeah. |
01:44.31 | Hachiman | Ah right |
01:45.09 | Monet | In life, at least according to the bible, he was a maverick. |
01:45.17 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
01:45.37 | Hachiman | Considering no one alive has ever fucking seen Jesus and that there is no recorded evidence of what he looked like as far as I know from the time that he was alive, Scott *could* get away with it - until you learn that Jesus was recorded to be a carpenter or an otherwise normal guy before he started casting miracles |
01:46.17 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah, I mean, this alien could've been like Alexander the Great or something |
01:46.25 | Monet | We describe Jesus as 6ft tall and white - well 6ft is pretty tall for a first century middle-eastern man. |
01:46.33 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
01:46.36 | DrodoEmpire | Tall in general |
01:46.55 | DrodoEmpire | For that time |
01:47.02 | DrodoEmpire | Chances are he was like Syrian, and a bit short |
01:47.05 | Monet | Very tall. |
01:47.12 | Hachiman | Apparently the only non-Roman white man in the Middle East as well |
01:47.39 | DrodoEmpire | Granted Christians from other places in the world depicted Jesus as "one of them" as well |
01:47.40 | Monet | And if 15th century art is to be believed, was ripped. |
01:47.58 | DrodoEmpire | I figured that was a more modern thing |
01:48.01 | Hachiman | I mean, he was a carpenter |
01:48.04 | DrodoEmpire | Chinese Christians believed he looked Asian |
01:48.22 | DrodoEmpire | Copts believed he variably was an Arab/Middle Eastern/Armenian/Ethiopian |
01:48.39 | Hachiman | Afrocentrists think Jesus was black |
01:48.51 | DrodoEmpire | >.< |
01:48.53 | Hachiman | Black... in a Middle Eastern country, somehow |
01:48.57 | DrodoEmpire | he wuz a kang |
01:49.14 | Hachiman | Kang of da Jooz |
01:49.17 | DrodoEmpire | ayy |
01:49.40 | Monet | Also consider this film was made for an American audience. |
01:50.58 | Hachiman | Aye |
01:51.22 | Monet | So while every region has their own take on Jesus' ethnicity to make him appear 'one of us', I think the film's going for the Caucasian Jesus. |
01:51.49 | Hachiman | I think the film is going for fucking literal giant white bald Jesus |
01:52.10 | Monet | Imagine an Engineer in a wig. |
01:52.24 | Monet | wearing a wig, whatever |
01:52.35 | Hachiman | Which makes me think how the fuck did he get hung on a cross if the Engineers can punch men across the width of that fucking chamber |
01:53.24 | Monet | "Jesus you're under arrest" "JESUS SMASH" |
01:53.49 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
01:53.50 | DrodoEmpire | hyper-Jesus |
01:54.05 | DrodoEmpire | http://i.imgur.com/gaOsRzN.jpg - Also horde unit pack for EUIV is awesome |
01:54.16 | DrodoEmpire | Too bad they're so hard to play |
01:54.33 | Hachiman | Timurids sound familiar |
01:54.39 | DrodoEmpire | Especially Golden Horde cause their Tier 4 units look *awwwwwwesome* |
01:54.47 | DrodoEmpire | They ruled Persia for a little bit |
01:54.58 | Hachiman | Ah yes |
01:55.21 | Monet | They came to Europe after the Mongol campaigns didn't they? |
01:55.51 | DrodoEmpire | No |
01:55.54 | DrodoEmpire | That's the Golden Horde |
01:56.02 | Monet | Ah |
01:56.06 | DrodoEmpire | The Timurids were a Muslim Mongol offshoot that invaded Persia |
01:56.10 | DrodoEmpire | in the 1300s |
01:56.30 | DrodoEmpire | http://i.imgur.com/ELgJXCe.jpg - a few more horde units |
01:56.43 | Monet | I recall it was something like Huns -> Mongols -> Timurids -> Golden Horde. |
01:57.03 | DrodoEmpire | Not linear |
01:57.16 | DrodoEmpire | Well |
01:57.23 | Monet | In terms of dates |
01:57.26 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
01:57.33 | DrodoEmpire | Reverse Golden Horde and Timurids |
01:58.20 | Monet | okay |
01:58.45 | DrodoEmpire | Ethiopian unit pack is... strangely European-looking |
01:59.01 | Hachiman | Aren't the Huns and Mongols unrelated? |
01:59.11 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah they aren't related |
01:59.22 | DrodoEmpire | The Huns are theorised to be related to the Xiongnu |
01:59.45 | DrodoEmpire | http://i.imgur.com/dSYaE4r.jpg |
01:59.55 | Monet | Hachiman: I recall hearing the xenomproh that emerges from the engineer's chest has been referred to as "Deacon" |
02:00.21 | Hachiman | I was gonna say, as far as I am aware the Huns were a group of enigmatic unification of tribes bordering China or something |
02:00.30 | Hachiman | Fuck my English |
02:00.45 | Hachiman | *the Huns were an enigmatic unification of tribes bordering China or something |
02:01.28 | Monet | Drodo: Maybe Ethiopia's designs are reflective of European influence? Or would that be too early? |
02:02.00 | DrodoEmpire | Ehh |
02:02.06 | DrodoEmpire | The Ethiopians *were* Christian |
02:02.19 | Monet | The T2 Ethiopian looks like a conquistador. |
02:02.21 | DrodoEmpire | But yeah, the first two unit designs are too early |
02:02.31 | DrodoEmpire | The last two are perfectly plausible |
02:02.44 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno too much about the Ethiopian army though |
02:03.07 | DrodoEmpire | They were pretty sophisticated, far from the stereotypical "sub-saharan clicky people" |
02:03.08 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
02:03.41 | Monet | One of the great empires of Africa iirc. |
02:04.14 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
02:04.22 | DrodoEmpire | dey *wuz* kangs |
02:04.25 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
02:09.18 | Monet | I think I recall EUIV (or another game) uses a wasteland mechanic - that for lack of a shorter summary "wasteland" meant "land that your tech group cannot cultivate" |
02:09.38 | DrodoEmpire | Not quite |
02:10.00 | DrodoEmpire | EUIV has wastelands, which're just vast tracts of land nobody can own, colonise, or have units march through |
02:10.27 | DrodoEmpire | Stuff like the Sahara and parts of the Tibetan platea |
02:10.29 | DrodoEmpire | *u |
02:11.06 | Monet | Was a referring to the more real-world use of the term? |
02:11.09 | DrodoEmpire | The number of provinces has greatly increased in time, though, as the game's been developed |
02:11.22 | DrodoEmpire | And there's been less and less wasteland, especially in Africa |
02:12.28 | Monet | I've seen places where 'wasteland' referred to land Europeans found difficult or sometimes impossible ot cultivate. |
02:12.38 | DrodoEmpire | Not only Europeans |
02:12.43 | DrodoEmpire | Pretty much everyone |
02:12.44 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
02:14.04 | DrodoEmpire | The deepest depths of the Amazon and the heart of the Sahara have never maintained any sort of considerable human population |
02:14.44 | DrodoEmpire | Which makes making provinces there sorta nonsensical |
02:16.38 | Monet | I think it's parts of the Amazon I've heard being called 'Wasteland' by colonial Europeans. |
02:16.59 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
02:17.13 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah, parts of the Amazon are pretty much uninhabitable though |
02:17.13 | Monet | WHich may or may not have supported indigenous tribes depending on the area. |
02:17.40 | Monet | So it was more "uninhabitable by European standards" |
02:17.43 | DrodoEmpire | Even by acclimated native peoples |
02:17.49 | DrodoEmpire | Somewhat |
02:17.52 | DrodoEmpire | But also objectively |

12:28.00 | Wormy_ | That's awesome, bet he never expected the other gut to have a bigger sword |
12:28.12 | Wormy_ | Also +1 respect for not using his gun |
12:28.20 | Wormy_ | *guy |
12:29.22 | Wormy_ | Swords and fists make better duels imo |
12:30.35 | Hachiman | Fists aren't great for duels |
12:30.43 | Hachiman | There are reasons why boxers wear gloves |
12:31.47 | Hachiman | Not only do gloves deal more blunt force and cover a wider area, they actually cushion and protect the hands of the people wearing them - fists can break very easily as they were not designed with the biological intent of punching things |
12:38.37 | Wormy_ | I didn't mean literally fists, but I agree |
12:39.04 | Wormy_ | I read somewhere that in China, people would literally have martial art duels like in the films |
12:39.15 | Hachiman | Huh |
12:40.01 | Hachiman | Well, I mean, there should be some truth to wuxia considering how the martial arts used in films actually exist in reality |
12:41.05 | Wormy_ | Yep, and a life of conditioning can also do impressive things to the human body |
12:42.46 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: I'm open minded about stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2NAohPcT4U |
12:47.00 | Wormy_ | the guy was extremely upset when he learned they broadcasted him to the world, and disappeared for decades |

19:40.17 | OluapPlayer | Why? |
19:40.30 | DrodoEmpire | How come? |
19:40.59 | Xho | Apart from Hachi no one seems to be wanting to do anything with it |
19:41.34 | Cyrannian | If there's a story happening, I'd be happy to join |
19:41.43 | OluapPlayer | Other than all the other people who commented on the forum |
19:41.53 | Xho | There can't be a story if there's nothing actually in the galaxy |
19:41.57 | Xho | So far there's one fiction |
19:42.07 | OluapPlayer | It's your job to populate the galaxy, not ours |
19:42.23 | Xho | So I have to make like 50 civilisations then |
19:42.25 | Xho | No thanks |
19:42.46 | drom | Xho: I could help. |
19:42.47 | OluapPlayer | Borealis started out with this 3 fictions in it, now look at it |
19:42.52 | OluapPlayer | *just 3 |
19:43.10 | DrodoEmpire | Xho: I'd go in to it but I have a lot on my plate |
19:43.21 | Cyrannian | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3ACult_of_the_Deathmarch/Races#D.C3.ADait.C3.A1 - I could revive these guys and relocate them to Tuuros |
19:43.29 | DrodoEmpire | A lot of users have fictions on the go really |
19:43.49 | DrodoEmpire | Your expectations are a bit unrealistic I think- give it a week or two I say |
19:44.05 | OluapPlayer | I for one struggle with coming up with ideas. I can't make a dozen things on the go |
19:44.31 | drom | I could pull the Sovereignty out their non-canonial existence. |
19:45.09 | drom | But still, I believe writing a new fiction, rather than reusing the old one, would be a better bet at this point. |
19:46.26 | Xho | I did have an idea for a story but it's a bit risky |
19:46.46 | drom | Don't be too afraid. |
19:47.16 | Monet | Go ahead. |
19:47.44 | Xho | The ideas is that in Tuuros there is a pan-galactic event which is basically a gladiatoral tournament; with the rest of the Gigaquadrant now interacting with it Tuuros' authorities change the rules so it's galaxy vs galaxy |
19:48.50 | Monet | Could be interesting. |

19:49.36 | OluapPlayer | Okay |
19:50.10 | Xho | It's the most united Tuuros gets; bloodsports |
19:50.15 | DrodoEmpire | That's sorta interesting |
19:50.54 | Xho | Since Tuuros is host to lots of weird and horrid things it could prove that the galaxy has as much as a formidable set of warriors as the rest of the Gigaquadrant does |

22:23.21 | Tek0516 | If you're reading this Facebook, GTFO. >.> |
22:23.28 | Tek0516 | :P |
22:26.57 | Tek0516 | Actually, one of the top recommendations was a site I had open in another tab. That can't be a coincidence. >.< |
22:31.39 | Hachiman | Wormy_STO: What would be the Schwarzschild radius of the average human being? |
22:32.48 | OluapPlayer | >Schwarzschild radius >of a human |
22:32.53 | OluapPlayer | nigguh u wat |
22:33.13 | The_Randomness | Hachiman: Ten orders of magnitude smaller than the radius of a proton |
22:33.28 | Tek0516 | I remember doingthe math on it before. Tiny though, even for the whole earth it's only a centimeter or two. |
22:33.49 | Wormy_STO | 0.1 yoctametre http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/211_fall2010.web.dir/Sean_Lemley/Schwarzschild%20Radius%20-%20Physics.html |
22:34.03 | Hachiman | Right |
22:34.29 | The_Randomness | Wormy_STO: It would also decay extremely quickly, right? |
22:34.37 | Wormy_STO | It would, yeah |
22:34.54 | The_Randomness | I also have no clue how you would create something like that |
22:35.51 | DrodoEmpire | Squeeze, like, super *super* hard |
22:35.55 | The_Randomness | :P |
22:36.54 | Wormy_STO | You would need the gravitational core collapse of a supergiant happening around you, maybe |
22:37.29 | The_Randomness | yeah, probably something crazy like that |
22:37.56 | Wormy_STO | Or maybe if you got accelerated to .99999 (to insanity) of c |
22:38.40 | OluapPlayer | GOTTA GO FAST |
22:46.07 | Wormy_STO | Encountered a player's ship in STO called "USS Alestorm" |
22:46.46 | Hachiman | Nice |
